Great changes have occurred. Those who lived a hundred years ago would not have recognized the planet. I barely did and I was born in the middle of the turmoil. But, I had not expected or even dreamed of that I would be a witness to what throughout the ages has been called Armageddon or Ragnarok.
But, those who expected a great catastrophe wherein everybody was killed and the Earth destroyed, would have been disappointed. This did not happen. Only, if you think of a "World Ending" as the world people knew in the past being gone, yes, that world -the world of the past is forever gone.
I am getting ahead of my tale. The first of the many Changes happened long before "The End Time" came. A war in what was once called the Middle East killed millions of people and destroyed many countries. Of course, you children know, today the Earth is not parted into different countries but is one United Planet. And, around the same time, as the war, natural disasters around the world increased with more and more Earthquake, Floods, Droughts and several exploded Volcanoes. They altered the Earth's land area and killed other millions in the process. But, long before this took place, millions of people, in what was called Third World Countries, and had already died of famine. These famines lasted for years and years and spread throughout the world, even to what then were called the Wealthy Industrial Countries. That was after the World's Economy collapsed. Sometime when I look back, I am surprised that so many people did survive what was to be known as the "The Hungry Years." It was in those years People found-out the reason for the human ability to store fat. When "The Hungry Years" came, the ones who before could never stay slim, where the ones who survived; they had the metabolism that would keep a body healthy on very little food. It also changed the World's perception of beauty, nobody anymore thinks it is beautiful to slim or skinny. In "The Hungry Years," the skinny ones were the first to die.
Finally, the Electromagnetic Pole-Shift turned the Planet's climate and Continents into what we know today. By this time the Earth's population had been reduced by billions. All those changes to the Planet and its population were a severe chock to both systems. But, things were settling down and recovery begun, when the two strangers arrived.
Suddenly, most of the remaining planet's population found themselves transported to The Great Plain, it is what is left of the Mongolian Steppe, but now it is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on two sides, well the Plain also include a bit of land from what used to be called Russia and China. The Great Plain looks like what The Canadian Prairie once looked, in the far past; tough green Prairie-Grasses.
Thus, the mass of people stood on The Great Plain, great power it has taken to gather and transporting so many people. I could see a mass of people as far as the eye could see, but not a sound was heard. There seem to be wave-like movement through the masses, akin to prairie grass moving in the wind and overall hung a strange eerie silence. When the movement stopped the mass of people had formed into three groups.
Earlier, I said most of the Earth's population, the ones not called, was the ones that were different, believed in other gods and belief systems, their presence were not needed and we found out later that they had slept through the whole thing. I diverge; the three groups were not of equal size, one group was fronted by a tall blond man in a white cloak and wearing sandal and halo. The second group was fronted by a man wearing black tie and tails; he had black hair and distinguishes grey temples; he looked rather like a well-dressed business man of old. I surmised he was the one they usually, in ages past, had painted wearing a red suit with horn in his forehead and a tail. There were no sign of any sign of horns or tail; being with horns and tail would all later be in the third group, and only later did we realize the two strangers were not the ones who had called us. The look on their faces of both beings was one of surprise; both had not expected that there would be a third group and especially not so large a third group.
We, in the third group did not believe in any god or gods apart from the Prime Creator of light and Love, thus we all followed our own way of thinking and our higher Soul and Spirit. Although, we did have one thing in common, we all belong to "The Tribe" that in earlier times have been known by the strange names like Ecologists, Environmentalist, Greeners and Tree-huggers; these are only a few of the nicer ones we have been known by.
The two strangers, in turn tried to persuades us, in the third group, to choose between them and join one of their groups. We all respectfully declined, that when they started to threaten to smite us down, something about hell-fire and brimstone. I do not think the gentlemen realized that we had already survived that type of disasters.
That was when a small woman clad in a brown cloak with bare feet and carrying a wooden staff in her left hand, came forward from the back of our group. When she past me by, I saw her face aglow with light from within and her shiny green hair cracked and hissed and kept moving steadily, ever so slightly; I felt as I had been too close to a high-voltage power line. One minute you would have sworn she looked seventeen, the next you knew she was as old as the hills and yet forever young.
When she reached the front of our group, we re-shuffled as with one mind and formed-up on each side of her like wings, in a pattern of a giant Butterfly, in which she formed the head, but with no body. Where the Butterfly's body would have been was a wide empty space.
Why we reacted like this without thinking, we did not know, but it became clear later why she did not want us to stand directly behind her.
She raised her right hand to signal she wanted to speak, looked at both of the strangers and said:

"You came uninvited, you altered, mained,
interfered and manipulated the species.
You then pulled men and women like puppets
and turned them against each other in your battles for Souls.
Your fights brought War, Cruelty, Pastilence, Hunger and Death.  You were not satisfied with your own people,
you had to destroy my little Ones. The ones, who had no power and cannot defend themselves, and in the process you almost destroyed the Planet."

I want you both to leave. Take with you what is yours and never come back to this System again."

They both looked at the small person with contempt. With all their powers, they did not really understand who she was. In their greatness, they blinded themselves and forgot that there are other powers in the Universe, equal to theirs and greater, and powers beyond their control.
The look in their eyes said, "Are you going to make us. She pointed her staff, first to the ground and then to the sea, raised her voice and said:

"From here and there and everywhere, I call; the legs, the bellies, the furs, the horns, the wings and the fins."

From above and below the they appeared, Worms, Slogs, Moles, Voles, Woodchucks, Squirrels, Rodents of all kinds, Snakes in many colors; Insects that crawled or flew. The ground was a mass of living moving matter. In the air wings roared like a waterfall, a living symphony. The air was filled with birds, so many colors; white, black, blue, green, red, yellow and all those colors mixed making many shades; there were Parrots, Sparrows, Blackbirds, Swallows, Hawks, Eagles Owls, Seagulls and many others that I do not know the names of. Of the little wings, there were Bees, Butterflies, Dragonflies, Ladybugs, Beatles, Flies, Mosquitoes and anything else you can think of. They all settled down and around people who had and empathy with them. I had Butterflies in my hair, Ladybugs on my shoulders and Bees all around the rest of me, The Lady next to me were covered in Snakes and she looked absolutely delighted.
Then the legs arrived, from all around us milled the four-legged ones; Rabbits, Moles, Squirrels, Foxes, Wolves, Kangaroos of all types and then there were Deer, Elks, Bears, Goats, Cows, Horses, Elephants and Cats of all sizes. There were animals from all of the Continents, that is, the ones that survived the disasters. Many species were lost during "The Hungry Years" and "The Pole Shift." How they all got here? I don't know. Then I become aware of a sound from the Sea, it was overwhelming. I looked. I could barely see any water, it was a writing movement of bodies, fishes and mammals together; Sharks, Dolphins, Otters, Whales, fishes of all types, and I could not believe my eyes -Sea-Serpents. The ones, people in the past did not think was real. The types Canadians called Ogopogo, or the Scot's Nessie from Lock Ness and the ones that in the Icelandic Elder Edda were called Wurms.
 But the place right behind her was still empty, and the two strangers did not seem too impressed.

She lifted her staff in front of her with both hands and quietly said;  "I call our brothers Green."

Nothing happened for a while, and then we became aware that the two groups were watching something behind us. I could not wait, I looked, all I could see in the distance was a cloud of dust and a roaring sound, but it was moving rapidly and came up behind our winged groups fast. It was now close enough that I could see what it was. I was stunned; it was trees, walking trees -from horizon to horizon, it was trees of all types; Firs, Pines, Maples, Elders, Weeping Willow, Aspens, Elms, Poplars, Palms, Orange-trees, Apple-trees, Cherry-trees and Hazelnuts, just to name a few. There were small trees, big trees, skinny trees and fat trees, bushes of all kind, all walking. And up front was the biggest Oak tree that I have ever seen; as they came closer the filed into the empty space behind her, providing the body to our Butterfly Wing groups. The big Oak stopped behind her and put a branch on her right shoulder as to tell her "we are here and behind you." She touched the branch and patted its leave in acknowledgement.
We were beginning to be an impressive group. But, that was not what really shook them up and gave them the knowledge that her power was equal to theirs and if any smiting was going to be done; Mother was the one who was going to do it.
After the dust from the trees' arrival had settled down, there was a slight shimmering in the air over where she was standing, and slowly it became visible as it had been there all the time but unseen by all. And, with it all of the other invisible residents, of Earth, could also be seen. Now, all among us stood the Gnomes, the Elven Folks, the Leprechauns, the Brownies, The Elfs, the Dwarfs, the Trolls and other beings that I am not sure what they were and I don't really want to know either. I am not sure it would be wise to know or even say their names aloud.
But, most of all that head hanging in the air over her and now with a body that slowly becoming visible, a body that did not seem to have no end, but went on and on until it disappeared over the horizon.

A Kraken is a most fearsome sight !

I was glad it was on our side, but, it did not do anything, really. It just looked at the Two Stranger and smiled. That was when they decided to leave and take their groups with them. They knew they come against a power much older and more ancient than theirs: A power, in which they were like two small, naughty boys playing a game, the kind of game of which adult do not approve.
Where did they go? I don't know, back to where they came from; maybe, somewhere out there in the Universe, the fight between the two groups may still going on.
After they left, she wave her staff, then she and all the ones she had called went back to their homes, including all of us. We could not see all of the invisible ones anymore, but the Gnomes, the Elven Folk and the Brownies came home with us for a visit and the Brownies became a great help to many. We did a lot of talking about the future of our world in the days that followed and the Invisible Residents are part of any decision being made these days and people see much more of them now of days.
Who was she, the one who performed the astounding things I witness that day, as far I can figure out, she was and is the personified spirit of the planet itself and of all things that live in and on her, and thus is part of her.
As I think back to what took place that day, I realized she is much more powerful than I had thought, even then, because she told them never to come back to our System. She meant our Solar System; she could not only tap the power from Earth, but from all of the planets and our Sun, and through the latter, was connected to the rest of the Universe and the Central Sun. The two strangers had lost the fight even before it started. She is not a Lady to be trifled with and she will return, if We and Her Little Ones or the Planet itself again are in danger.
That children, is how "The Era of Green Power" started. An era where the Mind, Heart and Spirit reigns, were nobody rules, no little Gods, no Kings, nor Queens and or Conglomerates. An Era where we all decide Our Reality, by mutual consent and co-operation, and no longer the Wise are hiding: Green is the land and Magic had returned to Earth.
