Many years ago, back before the earth and its solar system was even a glimmer in one’s eye, there lived a god. His name was khoshekh, and he lived in the darkness of time and space. Deciding he felt lonely, he created the universe. There were many different planets, all filled with many different types of creatures and beings. His favorite, and most fragile, was earth. The people on this planet were weak, and had no clue how to defend themselves; they trusted too easily. Khoshekh decided they need protectors, an army that would keep his humans and animals safe from harm of his other creations. Thus he birthed the goddess Luna, and gave her the power to create an army. “Protect what I have made with your lives.” He commanded, drifting off into the darkness. She formed a land, filled with …show more content…
Since then the earth has been safe, under the arms of Luna and her people. Time has since then passed, and the need for the army of hope was dwindling. Luna was aging and weakening, and her children were fearful of being alone, being leaderless. Luna was on her own deathbed, her children surrounding her as she took her final breaths. She gave her power and leadership over to her first child, Avia, a weaker warrior who had little ambition to fight on the battle field. “But mother, I’m weak; I can’t even fight one of the sisters.” Her mother, with her thin arm lifted her child face. “Do not cry, do not call yourself weak; you are stronger in mind and body than you think. Lead your sisters, earn their trust and love.” Her body faded into the ground, a tree forming in her absence. Avia cried for six days and six nights, her tears forming a lake around her mother’s grave. The years after faded into a blur, Avia training with her sisters and trying to earn their respect; over centuries she grew, her mind and her body stronger, but she thought herself weak. She could not believe in herself, and this would cost her

Two gods, Kero and Tashe, wanted to stop the ongoing war and make the world a livable place for all and everyone. A world where they could unleash themselves and create something beautiful and fantastic, something…new. Something for everyone. But, to do that they needed the gods to unite and stop fighting. The task was not an easy one
According to the ancient Aztec religion, it took the gods five tries to create the world. The first four attempts had failed because the gods were fighting among themselves. Each creator-god would take a turn being the sun in order for the world to function properly so that it would be habitable. The gods had a council and decided that Nanauatl, a lowly, humble god, would have to sacrifice himself to become the sun. But there was a major problem with this, he was not moving. It was then that the gods realized that they would also have to sacrifice themselves so the humans could live. The god Ehecatl sacrificed all the other gods and a strong wind arose to help move the sun. Once they fixed the sun, they recreated the world for the fifth time.
Nobody wants to be a power-hungry and cruel person, with a hateable personality. However, those people still exist, both in real life and in dystopian worlds, such as the world in the Lunar Chronicles series. In this collection of stories, Queen Levana of Luna was shown to have a brutal, tyrannical, and vain personality. This caused her to be loathed by the citizens of both the Earthen Union and Luna, leading to wars and rebellions throughout the course of the story.
In the beginning of time, there was a god and his four children who created the earth. For example, all five gods had a different job on their creation. His four children were gods of earth, wind, fire, and water; they created the basics of Earth. The main god, Atenis, was in charge of creating the living specimens and giving the modernistic earth purpose. Furthermore, Atenis and his children had to discover a suitable piece of land for their creation. They searched far and wide for the perfect planet to establish a world. After a year of scrutinizing throughout the galaxy, the gods rejoiced when they found land that would soon be called Earth. Before long, Atenis sent his children to construct his mental idea to a physical being.
The story of the Sky Woman, her daughter and twin grandsons depicts the beginning of the world and creates the belief that everyone is born with good and evil in them. The significance of nature influences how the Native Americans belief that nature, animals, and humans are equal counterparts. If it had not been for the help of the animals, Sky Woman would have died and the creation of earth would not exist. The twins play a significant role among the Iroquois that the good and evil are necessary for the world to be in balance. The belief that Sky Woman is the leader of all female life who “controls the rise and fall of the waters and a companion to the stars” (Olan, n.d.) and “regulates the monthly cycles of all females in which guarantees new life will be born” (Olan, n.d.). The myth signifies the Native American belief of how the creation and reincarnation of humans connects to the rise and fall of the sun and moon.
The Greek creation myth, describes how in the beginning, before the world came into being, there was only confused nothingness, called chaos. Chaos, contained the seeds of everything, including the earth, sea, heavens and gods. It took a long time for daylight and nighttime to grow out of Chaos, as did Mother Earth, called Gaia and with her, Eros or true love. Gaia created Uranus, the sky and she also made the mountains and the sea. Although the universe was created, there was no one to enjoy it. Gaia took Uranus as her husband. Together, they produced 12 supernatural beings( 6 sons and 6 daughters), called Titans. These mighty children were the world’s first gods. Gaia and Uranus also had 6 more children, very different from the titans, the Cyclopes and the Monsters. They were very powerful and terrifying creatures that alarmed their father. Uranus decided to imprison all of them, including the Titans, in the deepest depths of the Earth with chains so they couldn’t escape. Gaia felt very sad and angry and decided
Oscar Wilde is quoted saying "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken". Being yourself sounds like an amazing thing to do these days. Not only does the concept sound amazing it also sounds challenging. How can being yourself be challenging? With so many outside influences it is easy to get sidetrack and distracted from the inner you. The true self is covered up with conditioned fear based thinking. This is born from the fear of rejection. For example, The "Foundations of the Earth" by Randall Kenan explores the fear that some have of religious consequences. Consequences that their faith has implied on them. Kenan describes a woman's journey through these

Those who fell in battle were carried to their homes by their family. They were covered by the embrace of their native land and decorously laid out in death by those whose duty it is to bury them.” (Page 54 Lines 386-390) Although the other women find it hard to see the positive and call Kassandra mad, this is again her way of coping with her distress. This shows how badly war has weakened the mind and heart of
