Prompt 11: The Vasdin Tale of Creation

The tale of the origin of life and magic is one of many tales trying to explain how the world of unsu came to be long before the Lazri came here. One such tribe speaks of a great mother who had a power over nature. That she sought to bring life across all realms of reality. That when she finished her quest she decided to create a place all her own. So she chose the most barren of places to begin creating something new.
That she used all her power to create powerful creatures infused with the powers of nature. Who would aid in keeping the power of life flowing. When she finished her last work she felt saddened because she lacked a purpose. As she sat and saw her creations live she felt saddened as these creatures lived with a purpose she lacked.
It was then she decided that she would become just like them, but in order for that to happen she would have to sacrifice the power she welded. So she decided to form a tree around her that would drain her of her magic. In doing so she would die, but be reborn as one of the many creatures that existed.
