Soul Thief
At the beginning, Mira spent much of her time exploring Earth like new Gods tend to do. She noticed that Edol poured a lot of care and passion into these humans.
The small ones were particularly joyful to watch. While the big humans toiled about at their jobs and watching other humans on flickering screens, these small humans preferred to be outside and playing.
The children on the far side of Earth often played in the large grassy fields Irene had cultivated. The children on the near side of Earth dashed through the stone streets and called Tag! But no matter from where they came, they were all amused by simple objects and created their own tools and toys.
Mira found them clever, how they built these minature forts and houses, and how easily they slipped into games as if they were other humans altogether.
Mira deeply desired to play with them, and it was the day some children on the stone streets built a fort in an alleyway she decided to join them.
So she created her human form.
And Mira's human form was one of these young humans with long black hair done up like the women of the time.
She called herself Mira.
"May I play with you?" she asked the children.
That was a silly question, Mira discovered, because all Mira had to do to play was have her own sword. That was, two pieces of wood bound together by nails.
It was fascinating. These children were fascinating.
Mira enjoyed herself for quite some time. She realized why the other gods admired these beings so much, especially the small ones.
