Ater a ew days o basic learning, the mother airy explained to herdaughter her responsibilities.

You are now ready to create nature, said the mother airy, unable tostand since she was greatly weaken.

What i I did not want to ? asked Yaga, arrogantly. Can I reuse?

NO ! Its your responsibility, you have no choice You only haveto ollow the directions written on the tablets o Megdydrn, shoutedthe mother airy, pointing to a huge pile o at rocks stacked into manycolumns.

Surprised by the sudden ury o her mother, Yaga glanced at thecountless tablets. She was already discouraged by the task that awaited her.It would take years or her to read them !

I have to read it all that mysel ? asked the goddess, downcast.

No, you will have help began the mother airy

At these words, a small creature with long mustache and a rry-reskin entered the well o souls.

Hello, said the bizarre creature. Pleased to meet you, Yaga. I aWitak, the immortal, and I am here to help you.

An immortal was a mortal to whom the breath o the mother airy wgranted, giving eternal lie and immeasurable power. Despite this git, Yawas more powerul than Witak.

This dwar thinks he can help me? asked Yaga to the mother aircompletely ignoring the newcomer. I dont need help !

He has something that you do not have yet: its called wisdom, replied the mother airy in a weak voice. You will always be able to count ohim. In addition, I will ofer you our spirits

What are these our spirits? Yaga asked, puzzled.

They are the our spirits o nature, unveiled the mother airy ; thespirits o air, re, water and earth. Thanks to them, you will be everywhereat the same time!

Despite her power, will you also grant her your breath ? Witak askedenthusiastically.

O course, answered the mother airy. Come closer, my daughter

Yaga stepped orward and her mother blew sotly in her ace. Thebreath o the mother airy entered into her, ofering her eternal lie andinnite power.

Now, you should have un with your spirits, said the immortal to Yag

Good idea, Witak, said the mother airy. Go my daughter, try youspirits.

Thereore, Yaga tried her earth spirit. She closed her eyes and concentrated on transerring her consciousness into the spirit o the earth. It wlike a double o hersel, consisting o soil, sand and rock. Without movinrom the well o souls, the goddess o nature had the power to go anywhewhere there was soil or rock. She could also change shape at will, as i thearth spirit was modeling clay. She thereore took advantage o this git tvisit the mountains o the world.

Then, by ocusing even more, Yaga also took control o the water spir-it, simultaneously with the earth spirit. The goddess o nature was in threeplaces at the same time, while being aware o it, without leaving the wello souls.

The water spirit allowed her to be everywhere where there was water.In addition, she could turn into ice and make the clouds rain or snow. Inthis way, Yaga visited all the worlds oceans, sailing on the surace o thewaves or swimming in the ocean currents. She also took the opportunity tovisit every stream and every river o the Earth.

Aterwards, the goddess o nature tried her re spirit while she wstill conscious o her two other spirits and o her own body. This was verdemanding or her concentration, but she was able to do it; ater all, shwas the goddess o nature!

The re spirit could emerge rom any ame or spark, and then detacitsel and y through the warm air currents.

This is how Yaga would come to visit the volcanoes o the worlemerging rom the molten lava. At ull speed, she ew between the hiland mountains, ollowing the hot winds.

Finally, Yaga tried her air spirit, along with the other three spirits andher own consciousness. With the air spirit, she could go where there wasair, so everywhere except in water. The goddess o nature could turn intoa tornado and shoot lightning at will. She had the power to generate sand-storms, hurricanes, typhoons, or giant waves.

When the goddess o nature brought her spirits back to the well souls, the mother airy congratulated her.

I see that you are mastering your spirits well, my daughter, said thmother airy, heavy o eye.

Yes, simply answered Yaga. I really like my spirits.

Then youll behave while I am asleep, said her mother. OtherwisIll take them back, understood?

NO ! Yaga cried angrily, urious at the idea o losing her preciouspirits. They are mine! Anyway, youre much too weak to remove them am more powerul than you!

Its up to you to complete your mission or ace the consequences.Now, I must sleep rest whispered the mother airy.

Why are you so tired? asked Yaga, coiling a lock o her shiny goldenhair around her nger.

Because I worked hard to create you, replied her mother. Ater agreat efort, we must rest.

Dont leave me alone, begged Yaga.

However, it was too late; the mother airy had already dived in her lakewith crystal walls.

Youre not alone, Im with you, Witak declared, holding his prote-gee by the shoulder. Im here to help you.

I you want to help me, read all this, dwar ! Yaga ordered, pointingto the tablets o Megdydrn, ater releasing hersel rom the embrace o theimmortal.
