MY CREATION MYTH
by Rayanna D.

In the beginning there were only cats. The oldest and wisest cat was Salem. They all lived on one small island doing the same things over and over again.

One day Salem’s son Skit said, “dad I want to create more I want to create more land.” Then pretty soon all of the cats wanted more. Salem said that he would go talk to Sanah [there god.] Sanah said that he could, but he would have to travel the sea and find a good location.

Skit found the location and called out to Sanah. Then Sanah created land. Half of the cats moved to the new island.

In about 3 weeks the cats grew board of the new land and there was nothing left to explore. So Skit went to his father asking if he could create humans to take care of the cats.

When they grew to the age of 9 they would get there own cat to love and take care of. So Salem went to talk to Sanah. Sanah said that as long as he made them a place to live and supply them with food he could create humans. Sanah also said that he would need the help of Sariah the goddess of the sea. For she would have to help you with the water part.

The next day Skit and Salem set off for the middle of the sea where she lived. It took 1 week to reach the middle of the sea.

When they finally got there Skit asked her if she would create the fist human. Sariah said she would IF she could make it a girl and she could name her. They made a deal and the next day it was done.

She made the first girl and called her Horizon. She named her Horizon because every morning she would wake up before anyone and watch the Horizon. Skit watched Sariah and Horizon play all day every day.

Horizon was a beautiful girl she had long black hair, the perfect skin tone and the most beautiful brown eyes you could ever see.

Then one day when Horizon was older about the age of 18 she grew lonely and wanted someone to love and to be loved by someone like her. So she went and asked Sariah to make another human, but a boy.

So she did and Skit named him Aloron. While Aloron was growing up Horizon was put to sleep and would not be woke until Aloron was 18. So they would be the same age. When Aloron was 18 Horizon was woke.

Sariah and Salem brought them together and told them they were to create more people and create a nation. So Aloron and Horizon moved and lived in the mountains away from the cats.

Now just as Skit said each person got a cat at the age of 9. In about 83 years one of Aloron’s great great grand children came up to Skit and told him that Salem had died. He had stayed over with Aloron and went to sleep and never woke up.

The next day every one came to Salem’s funeral. Every one was crying. They said there good byes and put flowers on his grave. The next day Riley ( Skits nabbor) had a baby boy and named him Salem.
