Creative Myth

            Before the world was ever made it was just a ball held up by four strings.  Each string was held by the God of the North, God of the South, God of the East and God of the West.  Each God also was God of Earth, God of Water, God of Air and God of Fire.

            The God of Water and the South was not very strong and struggled at holding the forth string that held the earth up.  The God of the water released the string and did as much as possible to grab the string before the whole earth fell into the darkness of the galaxy.  The God of Water and the South tumbled down from his place and fell into a bottomless ocean. 

            The West, East, and North Gods looked down on the God of the South.  Still holding three strings, the West, East, and North Gods pulled the ball up from the bottomless ocean.  The ball was now covered completely by water.

            The Gods of Fire and the West, Earth and the North, Air and the East were very upset with the God of Water and the South.  This was due to the ball being covered with water.  As such, there was no way to start a fire, no earth to live on and no air to breath.  The three Gods without equal shares of the ball came together and made sand rise from the bottom of the ball to become land. They then lowered the water so that there was room for air which now made fire possible.  The Fire God still was not satisfied with his share of the ball.  The Fire God then jumped in the middle of the ball and created the core and filled it with burning hot lava.  He felt that if the other Gods made him angry again he would find cracks in the ball, push the hot lava out to ruin the land, taint the air and pollute the water.

This ball soon became known as earth and the God’s found a way to share the earth equally. Once all the God’s let go of their string the earth stayed floating. It is unknown as to why the earth remained floating to this day. Everyone says it’s because the God’s powers are equally being shared and keeping a balance within. When something bad happens to the earth others say the God’s are mad at one another and threaten to hurt their part of the earth.

The God of Water also became known as the God of the South since he had dropped the earth and fallen to the bottom of the world. The God of Earth had the biggest job and had to stay on top of things so he also became the God of the North. The God’s of Air and Fire didn’t want to be the God’s of East and West and fought over who should be North. The North god threw them to two different sides of the earth and whatever side they landed on they grew to love.
