After a point, Blue felt the need to intervene with Green’s work.
Her many creations were quickly taking up the space she had defined.
Blue touched the ground, and made it so her power was felt.
From then on, nothing could grow further without her influence and approval.
Of course, a means of knowing this approval had to be created.
So Blue introduced water to the world, blessing it as she went.
From then on, nothing could grow or even thrive without Blue’s water.
This was life before life, however, for death did not yet exist.
The plant that grows too large without water’s blessing will surely shrivel.
Animals, once, were the same, shriveling if they tried to grow further.
Though that is no longer true, water remains the key to life.
So it was and ever will be that water belongs to Blue.
