After Shilen was gone, Eva inherited the authority to rule
over water. But Eva had a timid nature and after witnessing her elder sister's terrible
demise and the war among gods, she became even more fearful. In order to avoid the
weighty responsibility that fell to her, she dug a tunnel at the bottom of a lake and
hid.
With no goddess to rule over them, the spirits of water were without purpose and
began to wander aimlessly. Too much water flowed to one place and formed a great marsh.
Water did not flow at all in another place and there a desert formed. Often times,
part of the continent suddenly sank into the ocean or a new island suddenly sprang
out of nowhere. In some places, it rained day and night until everything except the
tips of the highest mountains were submerged.
Where any piece of land remained above water, all the living creatures flocked to
preserve their life and the piece of land fell to pandemonium. Both on the continent
and in the ocean, all the living creatures were suffering. On behalf of all the living
creatures, giants petitioned the gods for help.
Einhasad and Gran Kain searched everywhere in the continent and finally found the
lake in which Eva was hiding.
"Eva, look what happened because you avoided your responsibility. You are destroying
the harmony of this continent that we created with all of our efforts. I will not tolerate
it if you continue to disobey me." Einhasad was so enraged that her eyes burned
bright with roaring flames.
Due to the floods, countless giants and living creatures departed to Shilen's world.
This made Einhasad very envious of Shilen. Trembling with fear, Eva ended up surrendering
to her mother. When Eva took over her authority to adjust the waters, the disasters
gradually ceased. However, it was impossible to restore the continent that lay in ruins. |
