I was the god of this planet. The creator of the world that would later be known as Chima.
For billions of years -I was just fine with the way things were. Life was flourishing on my world.
Millions and millions of diverse species roamed the land and swam in the oceans.
It was not until 1,125 years ago that I would make the ultimate decision...
On one specific continent; In the northern hemisphere of my world, I would decide to biologically advance at least eight species.
I flew through the lush forests of the continent, I appeared to all living things as a ball of light.
Every plant, every tree, every animal that saw my form would be filled with my energy.
My energy was of pure nature, pure life energy, and just maybe -a small bit of charged particles.
As I roamed through the air of the land, I noticed that this continent seemed to have more life energy than anywhere else on the planet.
And eight species had really caught my attention... The lions, ravens, crocodiles, gorillas, wolves, eagles, bears, and rhinos...
They were the primitive species of that land. And I could sense their capabilities. If I advanced these eight species; It would be my ultimate accomplishment. I would finally have a true sense of creation over destruction.
It was then that I finally knew where I would choose to advance the planet of Chima.
With an omnipotent display of my powers, I brought forth a massive flash of lightning that struck the ground of the land.
I raised forth a massive fragment of rock from deep below the earth, and began to carve out the faces of the eight legendary species.
And I yelled out in a godly voice...
"For a substance shall fall out every face of this mountain! It will contain the energy of nature itself! This substance shall be known... as chi..."
I watched as the the chi water began to fall from the mountain...
All I had to do now was wait for the animals to drink from this water...
The first animals I noticed to drink from the waters were the lions. Afterwards, the eagles, and then the bears.
Then the ravens, crocociles, wolves, gorillas, and rhinos.
One by one, the animals drank from the chi water; And they became more complex.
Their bodies shrunk and became bipedal. Their eyes changed color... their entire genetic make-up changed.
The animals became smarter, and much more intelligent. Their vocal cords sank down deeper into their throats, allowing them to speak for the first time.
I was very proud of myself at this point, but I noticed that one of every newborn tribe did not drink from the chi, but instead remained pure.
The eight still simple animals slowly retreated back into the jungles and forests from which they came... far away from their newly advanced descendants...
These animals would be known as "The Legend beasts"...
I turned around and saw the bipedal creatures walk away. I knew that they would go on to establish their own tribes; And that their primitive ancestors would be back... when they needed them most...
Knowing that my goal was completed, I cloaked myself. I no longer shined my brilliant light. I would be invisible... undetectable, the inhabitants of new Chima would never know of my presence, but I would still watch over Chima as it's one and only creator.
