First of Atlantis, Fallen: Chapter 5
"Much like Jaheel three generations before her, Jaweln adored the stories of the Deities bestowing Blessings upon Humanity. What caught Jaweln's attention were the details of the Deities themselves. She never tired of hearing of how the Deities shone brightly, like the sun in human form in this world. The stories told of little, colored stones that caught the sunlight and made the Deities more beautiful.
"Jaweln wanted such adornments for herself, her female relatives, and the women of the world. Bone and stone adornments were no longer fun and pretty to look at. They did not catch the sun and shine. Why must she and her tribe-sisters not have adornments that were colored and shone?
"She knew that the adornment she sought would not be found out in the meadows or in the foliage around her. No one had spread word of such a find! As a child, Jaweln and her friends had played in the caves her family long before had lived in. Jaweln decided to search deep within the caves of her ancestors, hoping to find the adornment she desired within the unexplored earth.
"Oh, the adornments she found! A different color for each tribe-area Jaweln searched! She had to go deep within the caves, brining a burning log with her. But the fire acted like the sun, allowing her to find the colored adornments more easily when they sparkled against the rock.
"Jaweln scratched at the rock and freed the colored, shining stones each time she found them. Eventually, she began using various tools to aid her in her task. She brought her discoveries home to Liantia and added them to her body and clothes. She showed her tribe-sisters how to wear the shining stones.
"She named the adornments 'jewelry,' after herself."
The Deities were now becoming truly angry with the wayward child Liantia. Jaweln had taken something that was truly and only /itheirs. iThis was direct thievery! Humanity was never meant to adorn themselves as richly as the Deities did! Jaweln never said where she had first seen the adornments, either! She was claiming this 'jewelry' as her own!
