==Scattering of the people of the ground==

After many thousand of years, the children of Theso spread across the land of Ae and prospered. United, they built a grand city of paradise, which covered th land from horizon to horizon thousands of times over. Her children then discovered the power of the stars, and the power of the void, and now sailed their ships into the sky to meet with the people of the trees. But the people of the trees feared them. They burned the ships and sent  swarms of living metal ships, and burned the land of Ae from afar. But the children of Theso would not stand for this. They learned how to shield their city from the burning rays of the metal swarms, and sent out their own weapon. It sent a blinding beam of light through the skies and burned the capitol of the people of the trees, and the people of the trees dispersed the swarms of living metal. But now the people of the trees feared the people of the ground even more. They said "Now the people of the ground know of the powers of stars and the void, and they have learned to create metal that lives. Now they will come and steal the trees, and destroy us! They must be destroyed before that happens." The people of the trees came up with a sinister plan to eliminate all the people of the ground. So desperate they were they created stars and threw them at the land of Ae, blinding themselves. The stars were powered by the boiling of the void, and were said to move as fast as a ray of light. The stars boiled away the ground itself, and sent molten waves of rock outwards to bury the people of the ground forever. The fallen stars were so bright they set all who saw them in flames. But some of the ships of the sky weren't in the land of Ae as the stars fell. The people of the skies sent the swarms of living metal to destroy them, but one of the commanders of the ships, Kene, was wise and hid his ship under the clouds of ash and smoke. When the swarms had left, he sailed his ship far away, to a place where the people of the sky would never find them. After many years if searching, Kene found a place to rest his ship, and landed by the banks of the great Behru river. The people rejoiced as they beheld the lush land, but then they began to weep. For they had forgotten the power of the stars and the void, and even the way of making metal out of the earth, for none of them had been taught those ways. The people began to panic, and fight amongst themselves, and the foolish people ran far away, and became like animals, hunting them and eating their flesh. But the wise people stayed by the banks of the Behru river, and learned how to tame the plants. Kene said to them "One day, we will discover again the power of the stars and the void, and we shall make machines that live once again. Then, we shall return to the land of Ae, and burn the trees that support the sky, and we shall never have to fear the people of the trees again!"
