Mistress Gaia and her friends had a problem with this guy. He tried to act tough with them instead of agreeing to the mistake he had made and then correcting it. They were ready to solve things amicably but when he tried to project toughness and strength on them, they snapped and they trampled him painfully as punishment. He regretted what he had done but it was too late and he had to reap what he had sown.
