Daughter refused to watch Father's response to the first murder in Kemen. She returned to the tunnel in the Garden wall, and thence to the hillside cave on Earth where the first colonists were taken. Daughter did not return within the lifetimes of Adamu, Chava, Kayin, nor any of their children.

Father soon joined Daughter atop the high hill and said, “How very instructive of world-dwellers, would you not agree?”

Daughter said in reply, “In the other gardens you have made changes to their bodies which persist in their offspring. Your testing in Kemen is no longer pure. It has little bearing on the original stock here on Earth."

Father said, “Yet after the killing today it is clear to me your precious woken creatures will destroy themselves and leave nothing but ruins, both on Kemen and on Earth. Neither Kayin nor Hebel were changed as you rightly note I have done in some of the other gardens.”

Daughter said, “You would raise up thralls who hasten their own extinction, but here on my own world I will teach them to live together and survive. In this I know I will have their willing participation, while in Kemen I foretell you will only heap to yourself the resentment of your slaves.”

Father said, “I have given thought to their survival on Kemen, notwithstanding your accusation. The changes I have introduced will, over the course of time, make the males far more mighty of frame and sinew, and the females far more fertile and desirous to the eye. Now lower your center of gravity, daughter, it is unbecoming a goddess to have her avatar fall on its face. And do not forget you must never make targeted queries of the Elohim."

Daughter did as her father suggested and seated her avatar upon the summit of a small mountain which overlooked a vast plain in the middle of one of the larger landmasses of Earth.

Father seated himself next to his daughter and for a moment they remained silent and simply took in the view. "I envy you this world," he told her after a time. "How very much unlike Kemen with its narrow unfrozen band."

But Daughter made no answer, for she was already in contact with the City of Stars. As Father had cautioned her, it was overwhelming. For many years her silent white avatar sat motionless atop the mountain as the seasons changed, as winds buffeted her and snows blanketed her.
