An Animal's Guide to the History of Jamaa

DISCLAIMER: This goes very, very against the whole idea of "Mira was the creator of Jamaa and her love Zios was killed by phantoms". My headcanon is different. Well, similar to that, except Mira didn't 'create' Jamaa. What? Okay, okay, so unless you are open to new headcanon ideas... Don't read.

Every AJ stories of mine fit into the same timeline, so this is good when reading my other to-be stories.

Enjoy! C:

The Early Ages - Creation of Jamaa
Long ago, there was nothing. Well, there was space, the solar system containing all the planets... But there were also two entities that had formed long ago, and travelled alone through the galaxy, until they met one another. They were spritiual beings that seemed to resemble herons.

The first spirit was The Golden One, and their aura was a shining golden like the embodiment of the sun itself. The second was The Silver One, and their aura was a gentle sheet of shimmering silver like moondust. When the two met, together they made their own world, and named it Jamaa.

They created different types of animals to inhabit the place, and of course they still exist today. The Nature Animals didn't have any extra physical features, except they were remarkably strong and had the ability to communicate with plants and a selective few could speak to wild and uncivilised animals, though it was rare.

The Sky Animals were gifted with gorgeous feathered wings or epic bat wings, that allowed them to fly and soar through the skies. These animals could also control weather and were responsible for keeping Jamaa's weather in moderation. Next were the Spirit Animals, named so due to their magical abilities and the skill to perform spells from their own bodies' magic. They had a special connection with the Creators, hence the name.

Crystal Animals had coats that were not made out of crystal, but had a special sparkling effect that made them look like crystal. These animals could create all kinds of gemstones, and were the most wealthy. Then there were the Honey Animals, who had insect-like wings and could harvest honey. They lived in a bee hive and came in many, many numbers.

The Fire Animals were powerful and resided beside a volcano and were immune to fire, but not lava. They were seen as respected figures in society and could conjure fire with little control. Then there were the opposite, Water Animals. They were ocean animals, but there were few land animals gifted with this unique type. And lastly, the Snow Animals. They could withstand subzero temperatures and had sharp, ridged claws to grip the ice. Their fur was often thick to protect them from the ice cold.

Every Tribe had a ruler who was a heron. The only herons in the land who did not rule a tribe but instead lived in a secluded, but beautiful pine forest with a trickling stream running through... were the Creators. Wanting to be the land's inhabitants equals, they transformed into herons and built a castle in their forest. The Golden One renamed herself to Lucina, and she was a beautiful white heron with shades of blue the colour of crushed blueberries and coral dawn-pink swirls gathering at the tips of her wings, her belly feathers, the end of her long, plumy tail.

The Silver One renamed himself as Astro, and he was a jet black with plumes of pitch black swirls with tiny, sparkling stars dotted along flowing out of his wing-tips, and the same colour and star pattern was on his belly feathers and the tip of his magnificent, feathery tail.

Astro and Lucina fell in love, and became an official couple. They had three daughters in their lifetime - their firstborn was a beautiful turquoise colour with a shimmering sheen of sapphire blue. She had glittering ice blue eyes, and was named Mira. She would take her mother's skills of healing, peace, and tranquility.

The middle daughter was named Celeste, she was pure white with a shimmering sheen of pink. Her eyes were a lovely lavender colour, and she would have her father's skills to raise the sun, moon and stars.

And lastly, little Crescent. Crescent had black feathers like her father but a deep twilight blue sheen to her feathers. She had unique powers of her own; she could feel every animal's emotions, read their minds, and walk in anyone's dreams. The poor heron always felt like it was a curse instead of a gift, however.

Little did Lucina and Astro know that their daughters would grow to become the greatest rulers that had ever lived.
