Life Preservation

Instructions

During the Vietnam War, something was discovered resting on a mountain top, a strange mound of rock spouting reptilian limbs, with nothing but a dried out puddle on the top, it was clearly lifeless, thought to be a mysterious sculpture part of the land atfirst, but it was revealed to be one of our first gifts ever discovered in modern human history, one of the oldest to ever exist too. our company markets it as more of a mysterious object than a Colossi, a former tourist destination aswell documented on TV shortly after the Vietnam War, however the large amount of tourists somehow led the thing to almost merge in completely with the mountain, making the entire thing pathetic and dasai to look at now, just a regular old boring Mountain, seemingly picked up again for attention for no reason at all, public outcries claim there was nothing, but in truth, this was a Colossi, or perhaps still is, just wrapping it's body itself in terrain. It was one. Named simply "The Garden" or "Garden of Eden" in some cases unofficially, this in some observations of the Visitors, was confirmed to be if not one of the oldest Gifts ever, in the early days of the Visitor's Socializations before they too became just a shell of themselves, this terrain-like gift's role was nothing short, pathetic, simply filling out the Visitor's primordial earth recreation's role for land Terrian, trillions of these gifts existed, all lined up in an eerie quilt-like fashion, whenever they deteriorate or grow old or new space is needed, they are slaughtered, sometimes by gifting them to the rabies-filled pets of the Visitors, the ones to fill the niche of animals to slowly drain the life out of the terrain gifts, a select few of the Terrain gifts would grow to beyond massive sizes to float away from the early dimension with their own creatures sat on top of them, starting their own fields almost when the Visitors weren't around, they flourished with life, one of these truly massive gifts was gifted us with a continent-sized terrain giant now lying lifelessly in the bottom of the South Atlantic, the original roaming point for the famous egregiously named gift "Bonlimbs", it is simply a corpse treated as a geographical anomaly hidden way deeper currently than anything accessible. All of them were reduced to lifeless husks, except one. the one we name Eden to distinguish it from the rest, it was the only one to escape the slaughter of the billions of others of it's kind by the Visitor's civilizations, and for seemingly millions of years, it would flourish with it's own life instead of being roamed and treated as dirt, Terrains rise and fall, something truly original in it, not keeping up with anything Visitor-related, no association with them despite being one of the few to be directly aware of their true forms, a reflection of our early earth dawns the Eden gift, preserving all sorts of prehistoric animals on it's landmass back, it's own form would slowly morph from time to time to dominant lineages of animals at the times, Radiodonts, Cartilaginous fish, early Synapsids, even Dinosaurs, it always resembles one of those throughout the years in the sky. It was much more aware of animals than other gifts, despite never directly interacting with any organism besides itself, it had no offspring, no other members of it's kind besides corpses transformed into islands we know today, the body itself of the gift was growing more and more lifeless with practical isolation, however it's land on it's back would absolutely flourish with land and life influenced directly from ours so alien for itself, it was preservation of animals that should have gone extinct millions of years apart, living together on this gift, living even past the K-T extinction, all the most popular Dinosaurs were here, Tyrannosaurus, Stegosaurus, Giganotosaurus, almost none of them ever lived in the same time, but everything was lumped together, everything even here was alienated just as much as the gifts we know are alienated by our world. Everything you could have possibly think of for pop culture's thoughts on Prehistoric life happened here, on a gift now so lifeless and run dry, no moisture for itself, why did it interact with our world of all things? this world that it could observe and comprehend but not fully understand the rules would soon to come to a slow decline of activity, the terrain on it's back slowly closing up, the creatures fighting to their deaths, with only a few remaining for preservation, it was finally time for rest. signs of both the former shells of the Eden and the Visitors were very apparent now, something bad was draining them, something put real fear into the Eden, even facing the slaughtering and wiping out of it's own kind all those years ago, these creatures on it's back are the same, remains of times long past gone. evidence was found with an unusually straight trail of fossils dating back to relatively recent times, a path this gift took.
