Soul Thief
Spring was simple in the past. There were many types of animals and plants, but they were only a few compared the the millions that existed later on.
Some of which Edol created, but Irene poured much of her heart into her own new creations.
Oberon insisted she keep record of all these new creatures, but Irene said they were only to exist. There did not have to be a reason or record they did.
Oberon had never thought of life that way before. Edol created living things as if Earth was merely a system, as if it was a duty he placed upon himself.
But Irene created for joy. She wanted something soft to hold when Oberon was not there, so she created deer.
When Irene wanted something sturdy and thick-skinned so that it might live in the cold, she created this enormous mammal that could swim in water.

"Yes. Why must they be contained to land? They are large and deserve to swim freely."
They danced in the water like Irene danced in the air. They were mesmerizing to Oberon, but not as mesmerizing as Irene.
Oberon knew better than to keep records, but he did remember every new thing Irene created.
And she had fallen asleep in his arms. Irene rarely slept, but she was very peaceful and beautiful when she did.
