= Creation by the Waterfall By Anjali and Camron =



 Once before the Earth was created there was just a Sky World with only horses living on it. One horse named Carly was living on the Sky World. She had pink hair and a rainbow mane. One day Carly walked down a path that she had never seen before. When she came to the end, Carly found a waterfall. She was very thirsty from walking for such a long time down the long path, so she decided to take a drink from the waterfall. When she did she felt a little funny. She stopped drinking and kept on walking. Suddenly, she shape-shifted into a human. She ran to her friend Phoebe.

 “Look I’m a human.” She said. Carly explained how when she drank from the water fall, and became human. All of the other horses went to the waterfall and became human. Suddenly a star went supernova. When it exploded, it all went through the waterfall. Instead of turning into more humans it turned into rocks and dirt forming the earth. Carly became the ruler of mankind and told the rest humans to go live on Earth.

 On Earth, Carly, the ruler of mankind, made animals for the humans to eat like deer, cows, and pigs. She also made animals for people to be scared of like bears, tigers, and lions. She made plants for people to eat and also to use as medicine. She gave people the power to grab things with their hands and to walk on their feet. Humans learned to build things. They learned what to eat and what not to eat. They also learned how to hunt.

 Eventually humans became so good at everything that they had nothing to do. They became bored and restless at Carly for making life boring. She was so mad that her anger that she made a earthquake. Next, she made lave explode out of the rocks making a volcano. Then she made water form into a wave making tsunami. To remind the the humans that she was their ruler and that they would always listen to her. The humans listened and decided that she was right and decided to make peace on Earth.

Before the earth was created, the only living life form was the horse gods. They lived on a floating platform in the sky, where they could over look all the stars. One day, Carl and Steve, the horse rulers went into war because they went into a fight over who would be the ultimate ruler. Carl began taunting Steve. Steve got so mad he shot a lightning bolt at Carl. Carl quickly moved out of the way and the bolt hit a star in the distance. A few moments later, a star supernova happened. The whole platform blew up except the blue, magical waterfall underneath the platform.

All the debris from the platform and the star went through the waterfall. some things turned into humans, and other things turned into parts of earth.The waterfall turned into Niagara falls. And therefor, the earth was created.  The end

=The Creation of Mankind = =By Lizzie, Aidan, and Gus =

 Once upon a time, there was a God of all mankind named Liron. Liron was extremely lonely, so he made the sun. But every day, he burned up because the sun was so bright. After burning up thousands of times, his ashes formed the Earth. But he was still lonely. So he cried and cried, and eventually his tears made the Oceans.

 He had also made a wife, a beautiful goddess. Her name was Eiria. She made the moon for advice. They had two children named Zorra and Viso. Their children fell in love, so Eiria and Liron banished them to the Earth.

 Eiria loved her children and didn’t want them to starve, so she asked the moon what to do. The moon said that she should go down to the Earth every two seasons. She should go down to Earth disguised as the sun and give Zorra and Viso food and seeds.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> One day, Liron found out about what Eiria was doing and sent her down to the under world so he would never see her again. While Eiria was falling to the under world, she gave Zorra and Viso one last seed. Zorra and Viso planted the seed and seven days later(that made a week), it was a tree full of people. Then Zorra and Viso had 7 children named North America, South America, (who were twins) Africa ,Europe, Asia, Antarctica, and Australia (who was very young when this happened) all got into a huge fight, so Liron created an earthquake and made the seven continents. And that’s how the Earth was created! <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> The End.
