My Own Creation Myth
by Vassa I.
It all began with an animal egg, it was a bird egg and then out of the egg came a bird, it’s eye’s weren’t open yet but, the next day the bird was running around the plateau, it had a yellow beak, hazel eye’s, and it’s fur was red.
What the bird was doing was trying to find it’s family, and after about the fourth time it looked around, the bird realized that, it had no family.
Then the bird started to get hungry so it went to look for some food. Mean while in the world above the good gods Welsh, Yelf, Erew, and Stardom watched the creature they created with delight, while the evil god Elsh thundered with madness because only he hated small and cute animals.
So then he thought of an idea, “I will create monsters with three eyes, two horns, and one mouth.”
Back in the world above, the god of the sky Stardom said “we should make the creature on earth a warrier of some sort.” Then he thought, suddenly he said, “yes that is it, I shall create a fruit and the creature shall eat it and become a human warrier and we shall call him Sonew,” and that he did. The other gods agreed.
Back in Elsh’s world he had made so far only two of his monsters out of clay, water, and sticks. He had finished the last one and stood back to look at his creations,“magnificent,” said Elsh, “marvelous, perfect to destroy that little creature on earth,” and laughed.
But on earth the little bird had not yet found anything to eat, and then he heard a noise like an avalanche, he turned around and saw, a tall tree with pears on it. The bird jumped but couldn’t get one of them, so he tried to imagine him self flying, then flapped his wings, then he felt his feet lift off the ground and opened his eye’s, and saw that he was flying, and got a pear and ate it, then flew back to the ground.
When he got to the ground he started to get sleepy, after a while the bird found a cave and slept in it.
The next day the bird saw that it was no longer a bird but a human lying on the ground with a shield and sword in his hands, and there in front of him he saw Erew the messenger god. Erew said, “you are in danger,” but Sonew didn’t understand so Erew explained to him about the good gods and the evil god Elsh. Erew also explained that Sonew was a human and that his name was Sonew.
Before Elsh put his monsters on earth he told one of his servants to get his evil magic dust, and sprinkle it on the monsters, and so she did. All of a sudden the clay figures turned to real monsters, both Elsh and his servants stood with amazement, then Elsh told his monsters to go to earth and destroy the human on it, and that they did.
On earth Sonew was saying goodbye to Erew and when Sonew couldn’t see Erew any more he began to practice fighting the monsters of Elsh. When he was done he went to eat another pear, when he turned the corner of the cave he saw the three monsters that Elsh had created so he turned around but, when he turned his foot snapped a twig in two, the monsters heard the “SNAP” and noticed that it was Sonew, and surrounded him.
Sonew said, “who are you, what do you want?” One of the monsters said, “we were summoned here to destroy you.” “Who were you summoned by?” asked Sonew, and “why?” The other monster said, “ we have been summoned by the great god Elsh, now we have no choice but to do as he says,”
The war began, it went on for a week.
The monsters got tired, and Sonew won. Then when the war was over Stardom came down to earth, and said to Sonew, “my son you have won the war of Elsh’s monsters, you are truly a warrior. I will now make more humans, fruits, rivers, oceans, and lands for you and make a city to live in.”
Sonew said, “You can do that for me?” Stardom said, “yes.” So both the good gods and Sonew lived happily ever after.
