Reeks: Ghost Hunters Mystery-Detective
S. H. Marpel
- The
- Sum
- of
- the
- Whole
- is
- Greater
- Than
- Its
- Parts.So
- Gaia
- was
- taught
- since
- she
- came
- into
- this
- existence.But
- she
- was
- named
- after
- the
- Nature
- goddess.
- Long
- centuries
- and
- eons
- passed
- while
- she
- was
- submerged
- in
- rock
- beneath
- the
- thin
- surface
- layers
- that
- living
- creatures
- inhabited.Now
- some
- imbalance
- had
- awakened
- her.
- She
- rose
- to
- the
- surface
- to
- claim
- her
- own,
- her
- rightful
- place
- in
- the
- whole
- world,
- not
- just
- beneath
- it.What
- she
- found
- surprised
- even
- an
- immortal
- like
- herself.
- It
- seemed
- again
- time
- for
- some
- changes
- -
- and
- Justice.The
- last
- time
- she
- had
- to
- balance
- the
- scales,
- the
- ruling
- species
- didn't
- appreciate
- her
- changes.What
- did
- they
- call
- themselves?
- Oh
- yes:
- Dinosaurs.-
- -
- -
- -Excerpt:Something
- was
- seriously
- wrong.
- Or
- she
- had
- slept
- too
- long.
- It
- didn't
- matter
- much.
- She
- was
- awake
- now.The
- ground
- around
- her
- rumbled
- as
- she
- slipped
- off
- what
- served
- for
- her
- bed
- coverings.
- To
- you
- and
- I,
- it
- would
- seem
- like
- solid
- rock,
- but
- to
- Gaia,
- it
- was
- simply
- another
- space.
- Over
- there
- -
- her
- wardrobe.
- Over
- here
- -
- brush,
- comb,
- mirror.
- Hanging
- on
- her
- bedpost,
- her
- soft
- and
- comfortable
- robe
- to
- cover
- her
- bare
- limbs.
- Beneath
- her
- feet
- were
- a
- small
- rug
- and
- fluffy
- slippers
- to
- keep
- her
- feet
- warm
- as
- she
- crossed
- the
- cold
- marble
- to
- the
- fireplace.At
- that
- side
- of
- the
- room,
- the
- eternal
- flames
- from
- the
- magma
- below
- warmed
- her
- as
- she
- stood
- in
- front
- of
- them.
- First
- her
- hands
- and
- front,
- then
- turning
- with
- her
- back
- to
- it.A
- comfortable
- bedroom,
- filled
- with
- memories
- of
- her
- childhood
- and
- growing
- up.Something
- had
- awakened
- her.Just
- as
- her
- room
- appeared
- to
- us
- as
- solid
- crystal
- inside
- volcanic
- stone,
- time
- to
- her
- wasn't
- measured
- in
- years
- or
- centuries.
- It
- was
- more
- fluid.
- She
- had
- no
- days,
- no
- sunrise
- or
- sunset
- to
- mark
- its
- passage.Gaia
- slept
- when
- all
- was
- right
- with
- the
- planet
- she
- called
- home.
- There
- was
- balance.
- And
- everything
- knew
- its
- place,
- its
- job,
- its
- duty
- -
- and
- filled
- these.
- With
- nothing
- to
- do,
- no
- one
- to
- give
- lessons
- to,
- no
- action
- necessary
- to
- take,
- she
- could
- sleep.And
- when
- she
- woke,
- it
- was
- to
- restore
- balance.Something
- was
- imbalanced
- in
- the
- world
- above,
- that
- needed
- her
- touch
- again
- after
- her
- long
- sleep.She
- was
- born
- with
- this
- planet,
- or
- so
- they
- told
- her
- as
- a
- child.
- Her
- fretful
- tumblings
- in
- her
- cradle
- and
- her
- crying
- had
- raised
- mountains
- on
- its
- surface,
- had
- caused
- volcanoes
- to
- erupt.
- Large
- land
- masses
- had
- sunk
- beneath
- its
- seas,
- while
- ocean
- depths
- rose
- to
- the
- sun
- in
- turn
- -
- to
- dry
- and
- teem
- with
- the
- little
- organisms
- called
- life.She
- slept
- when
- she
- had
- balance,
- woke
- when
- things
- were
- not.And
- the
- creatures
- on
- the
- surface,
- in
- all
- their
- arrogant
- "wisdom"
- still
- could
- not
- measure
- in
- their
- terms
- just
- when
- she
- had
- slept
- and
- when
- she
- woke
- and
- walked
- "their"
- surface.More
- than
- once,
- she
- had
- decided
- to
- simply
- "start
- over"
- with
- a
- clean
- slate.
- To
- those
- small
- creatures,
- it
- must
- have
- seemed
- cataclysmic.
- To
- Gaia,
- it
- was
- nothing
- more
- than
- the
- wave
- of
- her
- hand...Scroll
