Prologue

The moon was beginning its climb to the center of the sky while a young girl and her mother prepared for slumber. The young girl was excited; she bound toward her bed and flung the covers over her small body. She smiled at the woman in front of her and chimed, "Okay Mama now time for the story!" The mother laughed softly and sat on the edge of her daughter's bed, a book in her hands.

"Yes, yes I know now let's get started then." She opened the book and began to read.

It was long ago in the land of the Gods, where Odin sat on his throne with his loving wife at his hand. He was happy for his daughter had just been born. The small baby was presented to him and he smiled, he grasped the bundle from the hands that presented it and held his daughter for the first time.

But, sadness soon filled the Allfather's eyes. The young Princess was no longer breathing, her small body cold and lifeless. Odin grieved for the loss of his daughter. He walked into the chambers that would have been hers and stared at all the gifts he had received for her arrival.

One such gift caught his eye. It was a gold and white rocking horse, it stood alone in a corner and he walked toward it. Imagining how it would have been to see his young daughter playing in the room. He placed a hand on the horse's neck brushing his thumb against the wood softly. His mind went to his daughter and he shed a small tear.

That single tear was enough. Slowly the golden horse began to glow, its features morphing and suddenly a young baby girls lay where it had stood. Odin in awe lifted the child in his arms and smiled while heavy tears flowed from his eyes. He now had a new daughter to love and care for.

The new baby let out a coo of happiness and Odin laughed heartily. "My dearest new daughter you shall be called Mayhide."

As the years went by Mayhide proved to be a wonderful daughter; she was strong, she was intelligent, she could tell when people told lies to her, and she even had the ability to change into whichever creature she chose to be.

Once old enough the young Asgardian traveled to the still young earth, when she arrived she was sad to see that no creatures roamed the lands. She wished to change this and she did.

Mayhide gathered leaves and sticks and then using her powers created a new life, the first of many animal species. Mayhide was scorned by her father for doing such things. How dare she interfere with another world! He told her to return home, to kill each creature she had created. Mayhide refused, she claimed she was doing no wrong. Odin had no choice but to never allow his daughter to return to Asgard.

Since that day Mayhide continued to creature more and more creatures, these creatures being the ancestors of many modern day animals such as the cat or dog. She filled the world with her visions and began to live among them.

As humans began to come into being she taught them to care for the animals, to share their land and to only hunt what they could eat. She showed humans how to live in harmony with these animals, but that ended when humans grew too smart. They began to destroy and kill more and more animals, taking away their homes and killing them for sport.

Mayhide left, she is said to still roam the earth, searching for a human who would not harm her creations.

The mother gently closed the book and turned to the young girl who had fallen into a deep sleep. She kissed the girl on the forehead and raised the covers to her chin. Turning off the lamp she left the room.
