She followed the recepy of the Gods: she created a language and she gave form to de Gelijkaardigen (the Similars).
But they were brutal and run away from her without learning her beautiful language.

She eventually did that and out of the flesh of the Similars she created many generations of creatures.
But they would not keep her company: they would see her only as a Goddess.

A MUTAfOrMa: a shapeshifter.

What we get to see revolves mostly around an undigested mother-daughter bond, in which […]
