Mother Gaea's History
Mother Oshtur and Mother Gaea ask
Shathra to create a celestial map for the destiny of humanity by creating a cosmic construct representation, and
Shathra wants nothing but perfection in its design in order to please her mothers. When her younger sister,
Neith notes
Shathra's hard work, the elder sister presents her Great Nest with a honeycomb structure so every individual soul may evolve in solitude until they are ready to become one with the hive. However,
Neith points out the problem that the elder sister is overthinking her design, so
Shathra invites
Neith to try it herself. Using her Divine Web-Shooters,
Neith creates a web from golden thread as
Shathra calls what she does chaos, to which the younger goddess denotes that such is the point. By permitting every life to have their own thread and create their own choices, they then weave back into each other, permitting free will and an ever evolving web.
Mother Oshtur and Mother Gaea greet
Shathra to see how her project is coming along, to which she states it isn't ready yet, and the two goddess mothers promise not to pass judgement -- with
Neith noting the irony under her breath. Noting her attempt with the Great Nest,
Shathra explains she's been pushing herself and the two divine mothers relieve her of the task. But seeing
Neith have fun with it, they invite her to continue the task of mapping humanity's destiny and
Neith agrees only after
Shathra states that she is comfortable letting her take over.
The gods later convene to be presented with
Neith's efforts, locating the Great Web at the center point of the universe, with new creatures
Neith dubs "Spiders" helping her work continue as they are the only ones who can travel every strand and mend broken ones. As
Mother Oshtur notes the Spiders do all the work,
Neith confirms such as she wanted to go play, and Mother Gaea allows her daughter do so considering it a job well done.
