She blessed the land with animals like squirrels, to scurry and scatter the seeds of the tall trees. She created the deer, to frolic in her sun bathed meadows, and graze upon the lush grasses. The butterflies and bees she created to spread the sweet nectar of the plants, and cover her green earth in vibrant colors.

When she took her leave of day, the moon god emerged and took over, creating the many creatures of the night. In contrast to the sun goddess, he created the owl and cricket, to perch in the trees and bushes, and fill the night with sound. He created bats, to fly through the night sky, and feed on insects, which he created to be their sustenance.

You have created me, put me on this earth below you, and gave me many qualities to make me a fearsome predator of the forests, and for all that I thank you humbly. However, you have also plagued me. I cannot see in the darkness, even with the help of your pale, milky light. Please, gracious god, even if eyes you will not grant me, I beg for anything that might aid me to find my way through your
Despite not being human, the Creature has a sense of the beauty of the nature and human interaction from his birth. Even throughout the time where he can only see an obscure vision, the Creature finds the dim light from the moon attracting, as he describes that, “Soon a gentle light stole over the heavens and gave me a sensation of pleasure.” This quote captures the effect of nature on the Creature’s well-being; by appreciating the gift which descends from the heaven, he is able to temporarily reach a calm

“ You’ve done it. Each one of these symbols empowers you to be one of Nocturnal’s agents and each one has different powers. Such as the ability to become invisible, the crescent moon. The ability to get an enemy to fight for you for a short time, full moon. And the ability to unlock any lock, half moon.
