In the beginning of time, 14 billion years ago to be exact,
(Play around with this image. I mainly want it to be the universe)

The Mother came to the dark.
(I want this image. It should be female. I would like the moon and sun to be her breasts. I want a face, but the rays and circular things can be around her. More stars and things swirling around her face)

(page 3)
And with her,
The Mother brought
The Wind. . .
(The universe should be in the background, not whatever that is. I want more wind effect for the bottom but I like the tentacle feel. )

and The Song.

Page 5
For thousands of years, they lived within the universe, until one day, The Mother made love to the the wind.
(I don't want it to be all of the people around them but I do want lots of wind and stars. I want their bodies to be see through in some parts, especially around their faces. And I want the swirl behind them.)

It changed her.
They birthed planets into the darkness.
(I don't want a baby in the womb, more like planets or hints of a universe. Moon and sun boobs.)

Later,
The Mother made love to The Song.
(this concept)

Together, The Mother and The Song reshaped the world and filled it with beautiful creatures.

And then The Three played and laughed and laughed and laughed. Three realms rose from their fun. Each realm belonged to one of The Three. When it was time to rest, each of The Three went back to there realms.
(I want this sort of concept but three of them. One representing The Mother, The Wind, and The Song. Feel free to design it however)

page 10
The Mother marveled at the beautiful worlds she'd made with The Wind and Song. Yet her love for the children she'd made with The Song rose above them all. the Wind came to her and requested that she equally play with all of the kids. The Song agreed.
And so they moved The Children of The Song and put them on The Children of the Wind.
(So this universal looking mother in place of the of the native american woman. Put some small humans in it. Put animals and whichever ones, wherever.)

The planets did not like the creatures creeping all over their bodies, digging and building, hunting and using up all of their resources.
The creatures had enjoyed living in the universe and hated their new limitation on the planets.
And all of them believed that The Mother still loved The Song's children most of all.
It was a burning love.
An intense love.
One that enraged The Wind's children.

page 12
The Wind's children began to attack their half-siblings.
(i like the idea of the branches trying to kill her and the birds)

page 13
This introduced Death into the world.
(I would like the idea of black Adam and white Eve to be in this but not obvious, but I do want some apples to be on the ground and a snake near. The most important is the skull in the sky).

page 14
Some of the planets burned the creatures, raising fire and gases up from the ground. This killed their half-siblings and themselves.
Even now, shards of their solid remains circle The Children of The Wind.
____________________________________________________________
page 15
We know Earth, Moon, and Sun were among the few of The Wind's children that survived. Although Earth envied his half-siblings, he could not fully kill the ones that walked his soil and swam in his seas. However, the Earth still held resentment which remained a constantly twisting ball of fire within his core.
The Mother worried for her last remaining children with The Song. She begged both of her lovers for help.
They obliged.

The Three made love for several years.
(as long as it looks intergalactic I'm fine)

page 17
Together, they made more creatures--Witches to control the Earth's four elements, Shapeshifters to keep the Song's children in line while they lived on the planet, and darker ones to manage the fire within Earth's core. The Three made even more and flooded the planet in magic.
With each creation, they gave the species a weakness. This served as a check and balances for all of their children, even the new. No one would have complete power over the other. Everyone

And then the Mother, The Song, and The Wind went to their realms, remaining separated from each other.
They sit and watch, trying to solve the problem of where they went wrong.

For these billions of years, they've watched and learned and watched some more.
As we die, The Mother brings us back, again and again in other forms. In one life we are a deer, in another a Human, and then a Witch or a tree, lion or Demon.
(In stead of this image of one person's life. I want there to be animals in the middle of each and some sort of link to each).
___________________________________
We live and have lived many times.
We must use this life for study and contemplation.
The Mother is watching.
The Song and The Wing too.
