=== The Hibernation and the Awakening ===
In a time before our time Time there was perhaps another House, another Mansus, perhaps something else. As the this other place was was ending, [[the Mother Bear]], the last of the great beings that ruled it, forged her [[The Den|Den]]. There she waited , in sleep and slepthibernation, while the death of the other place birthed with and from her [[the Cub]].
Then, in the third Autumn of the 75th Olympiad (c. 480 BCE), the Mother Bear’s awakening shook the walls of the Mansus and the roots of the Histories, awakening the remnants of power that became the later [[:Category:Gods-From-Stone (Vol. II)|Gods-From-Stone]], and rekindling the light of the Glory. From the darkest depths of the woods, in a swamp barely touched by the light of the Glory there arose a ruinous hour of Winter. [[The Rotted Ox]] was the remnant that came from the old powers of ending and its decay is the same as the decay of the other place. Out of the Mother Bear’s den came [[the Cub]], who has the desire to protect of its mother, as well as the desire to grow, same as any young creature. From the ruins of a mighty castle, or perhaps a slum, rose [[the Monument]], steeped in memories of the past and nostalgia for the place that was. Meanwhile in the Histories there was a great upheaval as the old powers crept back into the world, stones fell and the earth shook, the sun became brighter, then darkened. All over the Histories man was in turmoil as well, and with the return of the Hours the histories diverged and humanity could creep into the house once again.
