They set out once old enough to make their mark in the universe, to find their purpose, and support each other. During their travels, they met another Celestial Dryad, who taught them that by settling on a planet near a star, they could slowly harvest the energy from it, instead of aimlessly wandering. The two liked that idea, and continued to travel until they came upon a chance of a lifetime. Orbiting around a star was many planets, two of which were the perfect distance that the two could settle together and live. Upon settling on their planets, the planets bloomed with nature and teemed with life, displaying the vitality the two possessed. However, even if they were powerful, they were very young, and they made many mistakes.
While Gaia was more calm and enjoyed the beauty of things, Eris was much more proactive and energetic. She quickly filled her planet with all sorts of plantlife and a wandering species that called the overgrown forests and plains home. Unfortunately she was less preoccupied with her planet and played around, harvesting energy with her sister and laughing about the easy life. This easy life didn't last long, however, as her lack of overseeing the planet and saturating it in energy and not balancing the species of plants and creatures caused chaos, and before long she became sickly. Eris's sister worried for her, but Eris claimed she would be fine given a little bit of time. She wasn't fine, however, as once her and her sister's planets parted for their orbits around the sun, Eris's planet was no longer able to sustain her, and unable to escape the planet she'd tied herself to, passed away, her energy fizzling... Gaia mourned for her sister when she found out, and took her remaining energy into her own core for safe-keeping...
