Millions of years ago, when Earth first came about, there lived only three people, who came from different planets. Dany was dark and mysterious, both inside and out, with his long black hair hanging half an inch above his mud brown eyes. Joshua, physically, was quite the opposite of Dany, his sandy blonde hair neatly trimmed in a buzz cut. Characteristically, however, Dany and Joshua were similar. They both spent their days scheming ways to kill the other, for both thought they loved Kori, whose auburn hair hung flawlessly down to her middle back, her hazel eyes shone like the stars.
Kori knew she didn’t love either man, but tired of watching the Earth being destroyed, she created a series of contests for Dany and Joshua. The one she thought did best would be the man she married. After days of brutal tasks, Kori told her two suitors neither performed in a manner that would appeal her fancy, and that neither would have the honour of marrying her.
Outraged, Dany killed every little animal that stepped in his path. One day he killed a deer, and while the deer’s body was dead, his soul lived on. But if the soul could not find another body, he, too, would die soon, so the deer’s soul inhabited Dany’s body. The kind, gentle nature of the deer’s soul quickly overtook the evil, turning Dany into a nonviolent and loving person.
Kori saw Dany in the forest one evening, and when he helped an injured squirrel instead of kill it, Kori decided to follow him. She watched him for days, witnessing only good, no evil. The change in his attitude intrigued Kori, and she soon realized she was falling in love with the new Dany, and began to converse with him, until one day he asked her to marry him.
Years later, Joshua saw Kori with Dany, and was quickly filled with rage. Kori had told him she didn’t love him, but she also said she didn’t love Dany. That evening he waited for Kori and Dany to fall asleep, then murdered them, just before killing his own self.
Kori, knowing a day like this would soon come, had id all seven of her and Dany’s children, each on a single continent, as soon as they were born. As the children grew older, and more curious, they began to wander about the Earth’s surface to different corners of the planet, finding themselves in lands not like the ones they had grown up on. It was in these unfamiliar lands that they began to meet each other, slowly, for the lands were so grand in size, for the first time. Some of these children, not knowing they had any blood relationships to each other, married and had children of their own, who grew up and wandered about the Earth until they met another child, unknown cousins, until the population began to grow and the world as we know eventually formed.
