Once there was a world. An empty world, fresh and unpolluted. Then the hand already present in the world decided to hatch a norn, so she went to the hatchery and selected the orange egg and put it in the incubator. Out popped the sweetest green female norn you ever set eyes on. She quickly learned all the words on the computer, and the hand brought her to the basement to learn more difficult and useful words.

But poor Amy (as she was named) soon became lonely and the hand imported a blue and green norn to keep her company. (He was Fibble from Jay D's website, and I renamed him Amus) .He was older than her and taught her the words "implement" and "badplant". Then the hand for safety's sake brought in two more norns Andrew, who was hatched from an egg, and Amber (imported) in case the population died out. Amy was a happy norn and hardly left her best friend Amus. She became pregnant one day, with Amus's child. They were as delighted as the hand, because it would be the firstborn not only for them, but for Albia as well.

One day, Amy gave birth. The child was a male named BJ. BJ had some problems. The hand had to keep injecting him to sooth his constant pain. He would have a constant look of discomfort on his face. His energy would often drop two levels. Amy became sad. She herself became sick and the hand had to save her a few times. However, suddenly, when the hand was busy rescueing BJ from pain once again, Amy died. Everyone in Albia had a long face, especially Amus, who went around saying, "Amus sad, Amus really sad." No one could comfort him from that time onwards. Even though later, he had two more children with other norns he would keep looking at the place Amy last rested. And nothing could cheer him up.

After many male norns were born, he still lived to a ripe old age and taught them the words he knew. Albia was overpopulated with males at the time, and no matter how many females the hand brought in, the males still kept coming, and the females dying. The hand knew it must do something before the whole world ended. So it appealled to all the other hands in their worlds for a fertile female who would produce a successor mother.

After much searching (aka. the prince in Cinderella), the hand finally hit upon the right female Sweetie, (from Raspberryrain & Erin) who to date produced 8 females and is still going strong in her old age. In fact, it's not just eight children she had, but that some of her eggs have still not hatched yet in Albia. The hand estimates that it is 11 children she has produced.

Her daughter Bess, is just as fertile, and has produced 3 children within her 2nd hour of life. Now Albia is a thriving community of ten norns (the limit in my world) and the promise that it'll not end for ever and ever.
