And behold, Ambition foresaw that those who dared approach her would wither and die in the light of the Sun.
Behold, Ambition stretched forth her hand, and uttered words of power, words of creation that were pleasing to her purpose.
Ambition carved from the earth of this Yolen’s caverns, lined with Aluminum.
And above these caverns she placed terrible storms from the loosened earth, covering the land indiscriminately.
Deep within the Earth, Ambition placed rivers of power, liquid Investiture which she allowed to pool at the deepest point. And with this power, she formed a Gateway, access to another realm. The realm of the Mind.
Within her paradise, she created plants as it pleases her - choosing those plants which were especially Ambitious. By the light of her power, the plants flourished and grew, becoming unstable.
And behold, she saw fit that these plants would be unstable, so that she may force them to feed upon each other in order to grow.
Next, she graced the land next with animals. Modeled after the perfect form of the Fainlife, she foresaw that these animals would not survive without competition, must fight over control of her rivers of power.
And behold, she foresaw that these rivers weakened her. So she placed herself within their depths, within the lake that they formed. So that at any moment, she might reclaim their power.
Her land ready, she found a worthy supplicant, one who might appreciate her power.
