Worldwyrm

The Worldwyrm is the sum of all existence in Dota: Dragon's Blood. DOTA: Dragon's Blood, Book 1, Episode 3: Neverwhere Land Fymryn: A thousand years ago, deep in the Nightsilver Woods, the Sun shut her eyes and the moon turned to blood. Elf Girl: Did it hurt? Fymryn: It made her weak. Elf Boy: Mene, Goddess of the Moon. Fymryn: ''Yes. Ssh. Listen now. The night turned red, and our goddess was trapped in shadow by Selemene. Elf Boy: Selemene, the Dark Moon Goddess. Elf Girl: Mene is still inside the shadow? Fymryn: She is. Elf Girl: Can she get out? Elf Girl: Why? Why did Selemene do that? Fymryn: Selemene wanted worship from the Coriel'tauvi. Punished anyone who wouldn't call her Goddess. Elf Girl: But some elves, they did say her prayers to her? To Selemene? Fymryn: Yes, some did. Some still do. Elf Girl: But she's evil. Fymryn: That's how evil works sometimes. Elf Boy: But— *The boy gets silenced by Fymryn who places her forefinger on his lips* Fymryn: Selemene banished anyone who wouldn't pray to her, far from our home in the Nightsilver Woods, into the darkest corners of the world. *Fymryn gazes upon the Elven shrine that was once dedicated to Mene* Fymryn: Our true Goddess left this world, but everyday we worship Mene, so one day she'll come back to us. *The elven children and Fymryn pray in unison, saying "Praise the Moon of Mene" in prayerful tones* Elf Boy: But if Mene is dead, how does she come back? Fymryn: Through belief. Worship. What is divine may never die. You see, Mene left a gift for us in the Temple. Her magical lotuses. Elf Boy: Presents? But they're just flowers. Fymryn: Special flowers. She lived for her flowers, so when he lays the flowers on the earth, she will return. Elf Boy: Uhh...who is "he"? Fymryn: "He" is a man with spectacular knowledge and power. A sorcerer. Elf Girl: Does he have a name? Fymryn: He doesn't. He lives in a miraculous tower, tucked in the valley of the highest mountains. And that's where I will go. And I will bring him these.'' *Fymryn opens her bag, containing the magical lotuses that she stole from the usurper's temple. The children gather around the magic lotuses and gaze in wonder* Elf Boy: ''The presents! *gasps* You're going to bring back Mene. You're going to take us home! Elf Girl: I don't wanna go home. I want more story! Fymryn: *chuckles* Don't worry. There's plenty left to tell.''
