Mist at dawn. A swamp, the world. Right above the surface of the water cautious reptilian eyes.
Humans are just a far away prospect in the wetlands, inhabited by creatures that we only know from tales and relics.
A jolt and the eyes disappear in the shallow dark waters, leaving behind a rippled surface and silence.

It is believed that at that time, animals, plants and elements were one inseparable thing. It was an inhuman world, chaotic and ruthless for us but yet balanced.

The custodians of this balance were three creatures. Their names were unknown to anyone, we will just call them ‘the creatures’.

They were not above any living being, because in that order of things everyone had their own part that made the world spin.
The boundaries between dirty and clean were not defined as we know them today. Everything was in the process of constant transformation and each step in this dynamic movement was considered important. The creatures maintained these processes and filtered the water through their strange bodies when it was necessary.
They did this for a really long time, contributing to the dynamic nature of ecosystems alongside other species. They were respected, but respect was mutual and unquestionable between all sources of life.

Nothing stays the same forever. Changes always come, whether they are good or bad.
When a new species appeared changes were just about to come.
At the beginning no one was bothered by the newcomers since they well respected the established equilibrium. But slowly they grew out in number and with them, waste.
This tested the patience of everyone, especially the one of the creatures that couldn’t live anymore as they did before.

The water started to become purple, the air was so thick that it was hard to breathe. It wasn’t the creatures fault, they were not lazy or tired of doing their job; they just couldn’t handle the amount of waste that the visitors were producing recklessly.
They couldn’t stand the sight of their home being destroyed and after a long time of hesitation, they left.
