Camila watched as Luz climbed into bed. The small seven year old was so full of energy and Camila loved it. Camila walked to the bed and placed the blanket over her child. Camila tucked Luz in and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Good night, Mija." Camila said, getting ready to leave.

"Wait, Mami, can you tell me a story?" Luz asked.

"I don't know." Camila said, fully prepared to tell her a story, "You have heard a lot of my stories."

"Please, Mami, you're 178 million years old, there has to be another story."

How could Camila say no to the cute lisp she has? Camila sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Luz.

"Well, I have a story about my siblings." Camila said.

Luz loved to hear about her aunts and uncles, so she rapidly nodded her head. Camila chuckled.

"Okay then, this was when I still lived in the Palace of God's, as you know, my name was Gaia back then. This is around the time my father decided that it was our turn to take his place, deciding that one person shouldn't have so much power."

In a large palace, a man in white with black hair looked at his nine children.

"Are you sure you can handle this?" He asked, "I can delay my retirement."

"We'll be fine, Father." Gaia's younger sister, Iris, said.

"We can handle this." Iris' twin sister, Mallory said.

Their father, Aarth, nodded and held up his hand.

"When I snap my fingers, a meteor with hit the earth. This will kill the dinosaurs and make way for Gaia's creation, mammals, to rule the earth. You are to protect the world, the way I've protected it."

He looked at his kids. They stood in order of age. Vidal, God of Life. Azrael, God of Death. Althea, Goddess of Health. Gaia, Goddess of Nature. Marcus, God of War. Iris, Goddess of Luck and her twin sister, Mallory, Goddess of the Unlucky. Ares, God of Disaster. Then the youngest, Serenity, Goddess of Peace.

"You have all grown so much, I am glad that I have the privilege of being you father." Aarth said, "Now, it's time for the age of the dinosaurs to come to an end."

He snapped his fingers and they all looked at the glass window and saw the meteor hit. Azrael, Gaia, and Ares felt the planet change. So much death in such a short time. Gaia, looked at the rest of her siblings.

"Well, now we have a job to do." Gaia said.

"And that, Mija, is how your aunts, uncles, and I became the current Gods." Camila said.

"Wow, will I ever be as cool as you, Mami?"

"One day." Camila said, "I may be Mother Nature, but you are Daughter Nature."

Camila held her hand out and a small lilac plant rose from her palm.

"One day you will be able to grow plants with your mind, talk to animals, and create your own animals, just like I did." Camila said, putting the lilac into a plastic vase on Luz's desk, "Sleep tight my little Goddess."
