Exiles at Large - Banishment

And so, after her son was killed, the goddess went forth among the animals, plants and rocks of the world to ask for punishment for the trickster who had caused him to be killed. Most would not countenance such an act, but nine objects stepped forth to wish for banishment, and nine was enough to make it so.
