Wade and Hurkin pushed and pulled pulling up great mound from the depths the mound became islands and the new land was Shore the crab. Shore invited Wake and Hurkin in to their home so they may create peace. Shore invited in Heme the fire drake to warm the hearts of Hurkin and Wade. Together they crafted peace, each of the four left a part of themself in a wooden bowl and mixed with a metal spoon as a simble of their promis.
Out of the bowl people clawled out people. First, people thanked the bowl and spoon turning them into Kel and Slava. Kel tought people how to build homes and hulls to give them places to live. Slava tought the people how to make knives and keels to cut water and sail. With that people took to the sea sailing between Wade and Hurkin. Heme saw the people leving shores beaches so they sent Fell, Mal, and Bale to help them. Fell tought people to grow plants on the rafts. Mal thought them the ways of chaning winds and water. Bale tought the people the how to record their travles in their rafts to remember thier journys. With these tools the people began to travile the great seas.

She used a pontoon ship, finding the maw current, and the recordss of the toothy straght to kill the Red Laviathen. She tamed the sky jellyfish protecting herself with the sulpherus soile, climing the tendrals with her clay hardend body, and contoled the Jelly with giant iorn hooks.
