                                                                        The Storm of Creation

A long time ago, right before the great storm, a huge, shadowy, dragon-like creature stood in the middle of a wasteland. The creature was an animal called a Glosat, and was the very last of its kind.

The Glosat looked at the wasteland, and decided he would change it. He breathed out, and his breath turned into storm clouds that promised strong rains. Then, Glosat suddenly struck the wasteland with his tail, creating huge dents in the ground, where the rain would go. When Glosat’s tail whipped through the air again, the force created strong winds to go with the rain and storm clouds. That was when the storm was truly created.

It was a very special storm indeed. When the rain hit the dents that Glosat created, they became oceans, rivers, streams and lakes. The garbage in the wasteland turned to countless plant seeds when the wind crashed into it. The mud in the wasteland churned and frothed in the rain, and the wind shaped it into two figures; the first Man and Woman. The storm was so strong it squeezed and stretched the planet until it was perfectly round. Finally, after three days and three nights, the flurries of rain slowed and then stopped, and the wind scattered final seeds and quieted. The storm that Glosat created had made the Earth.

The creation wasn’t quite done yet. While Glosat walked around the world, noting the effects of the storm, his footprints became mountains, and he cleared the Earth of its toxic smoke and fumes.

Glosat’s time on Earth was finished. He lifted his wings and flew high into the sky until everyone could only see his two eyes. One eye turned into the sun, the other the moon, and his shining gaze turned into the stars.

Glosat still comes down to Earth from time to time. Others might think he was just the wind, or the whisper of rushing water in a river, so nobody knew for sure when he comes. Now you know what Glosat created; the Storm of Creation.

The End
