The Book of Temples Chapter 42

Lady of Rain sent some of her People to hills surrounding forest. There they dug deeply into untouched ground. She said they would find treasure. The Child God taught them how best to be safe and work hard without peril. Their tunnels were deep and expertly shored. They had much light and fresh air. The mines all yielded many great treasures. Lady of Rain’s promise kept. There were precious ores and many less so for use in simple living. They also found gems, the kind adorning beloved Lady of Rain. On top of the ground, where the miners camped, wild creatures visited them. The Lady of Rain caused these animals to seek domestication. People took them in and put them to work. Others were bred as livestock. Both sorts of creatures were sent to their home within the forest city. Animals’ reward for their sacrifice, they were given love and care. For the wilderness offered no respite other than nature’s freedom.
