The Groundling

My name is Terra, it means Earth. That is the stuff deep below the surface of our planet. I am a Groundling, and, I think, since Mother died…the last one. My people have always been Groundlings. I used to ask my parents why we were the only ones who did not have the ability to fly and live in the sky with all the other people, they always had the same answers. Mother would always seem to change the subject. Father was my teacher.
