This is a fictionalized biography of Sproo's adventures in GoKrida, recounting some early history of Blue Twin Land from the point of view of Sproo's minor souls.
Chapter 1: The Emergence
1. And so we emerged from heaven into a strange and harsh world.
2. "What place is this?" we cried.
3. Thus did answer Sproo, "This is our new home. Let us explore and see what can be found."
4. So we left the gate, into the harsh desert that was the world. And we suffered the elements.
5. And Sproo looked upon the desert and our suffering and spake, "This is not good. Let us build thickets and woods, that we might take shade from the sun, and that our feet be not burned by the sand, and that the land be not parched." And so we did as he spake, and were better for it.
6. And Sproo called water from the depths of the earth, which slaked our thirst, and moistened the ground, and we rejoiced.
7. But the desert surrounding our forest quickly drained the water, and the land became parched once more.
8. Sproo saw this and was not pleased, "Let us build larger forests, that the land might not suffer this harshness, and that water be readily available for us and our loved ones." And we did as he spake, and were better for it.
9. Yet once larger forests were built, we settled into a hamlet and grew complacent.
10. And Sproo watched us and was happy.
11. "Let us build a village," he declared, "So that we might harvest the good of the forests and violet fields we have created, and that our sons and daughters need never know the fear of starvation as we first did."
12. And we saw that this was a good idea, and did as Sproo suggested, and were better for it.
Chapter 2: The Invention
1. While we lived our merry lives, multiplied and were fruitful, Sproo engaged in deep thought over many days.
2. "Let us speak of Diplomacy" he declared when he left off his thinking.
3. "I have invented a way that we might convince others to join us and understand our ways."
4. And we listened to Sproo and knew he was correct and were excited. It would be a good thing to bring our peace and happiness to others.
5. Yet Sproo looked disturbed, "You do not understand," he said unto us.
6. Once more Sproo returned to his thoughts, and we discussed his invention and watched as other tribes entered the world and headed in their different directions.
7. Eventually Sproo came to us once more and declared, "I have discovered the Fundamentals of Sorcery! I can kill people with but a thought, and with no risk to those who accompany me."
8. And we were confused as to what use this frightful magic would be. For there were no threats in our land.
9. And Sproo replied, "We know of no threats, but we do not know the whole of the world. Perhaps there are threats elsewhere. Perhaps some tribes will not be peaceful to us."
10. And we hotly debated this question. Of course there could be threats, but if we could not see them, why worry about them. One might as well worry about the sky falling, though there is nothing one could do if it did.
11. And Sproo, realizing we did not believe spake.
12. "I shall go and explore. If there are no threats, than we need not be worried, but if there are, it would be good for us to know where they lay."
13. And we agreed with Sproo and he departed from us.
