...

it has been awile since i posted anything that i had written... here is a myth i had to make for english... i figured i would share it with you... -------------------------------------------------- "Born of Fire" (working title... any suggestions for a better one are appreciated...) Once, there was an all powerful being that went by the name of Kitai. He controlled the ways of the Land of the Fallen. This land was not one of peace and tranquility, but one of fire and destruction. Prisoners were forced into labor, sweating their existence, shackled to the most unmovable of stone, eating little more than a few pieces of bread a day. This angered Kitai. He had dreams of a world where others had freedom, not just those that the great lord deemed worthy. He dreamed of a world of freedoms. Kitai brought himself to the surface world. Here, only a single solitary island lay. He stood upon this land, looking out toward the void of darkness that blanketed the area around him. This seemed like the ideal place for the creation of his perfect world. He knew what he had to do. He knelt to the ground, and upon it he laid a gentle kiss. He gave himself to the land, falling upon it face first, spreading outward. As he lay dieing, he began to mutter the making of his perfect world. In what seemed to be an instant, life began to flourish. His heart became the mountains high and the prairies low, expanding across the black abyss that was once looked upon. Life began to trickle downward from him, into the newly created crust that laid floating. This became the vast seas and oceans that we live amongst even today. Flesh became sky, and eyes became clouds to blanket, protect, and watch over his new world. To allow the people of this plane to survive, he created animals from what remained of him; however, his spirit divided into many, drifting into both air and land to create the spirits, Gods, and Goddesses of his world. The prisoners of the Land of the Fallen were brought to this new world with the last breath of Kitai’s existence, shocked in awe at its magnificence. Lushes forests sat atop swollen hills. Eyes glanced to great floral design both near and afar. Such a world had never even seeped into their tortured minds. They could not believe what they were seeing. Gaea had been born. -------------------------------------------------- goodbye... for now...
