Gaia's first children would thrive for innumerable generations though the Grand Beasts and led solitary lives and rarely intermingled. For many a long age they would sing and know peace. The beasts would sing and the ur-fae would dance and thus was the way of the world.
Magic did not yet exist in the early times; there was no need. Mana was rife and drifted in the wind, permeated the stone, flowed in the seas. It carried on the songs of the children and was as the blood and the will of Gaia herself. Thus it was by this primeval mana that, through her dreams, more of her children knew life.
As the children of the first children lacked the size and might of their forebears, it was that these beasts were greater not in individual might but in finding strength and harmony in number. Much varied they were, boasting novel forms and myriad voices that were joined with those of the eldest in the grandest of choirs.
