My Creation Myth

            In the land of Mariposa dwelled a magical colony of fairies. These fairies had special powers that they called impetus. Some used the impetus for creation, while others used it for destruction. A man and his fairy wife, were flying threw a meadow, contemplating resolutions to stop the destruction fairies from tormenting all of the creation fairies. The wife was with child and needed a safe place to raise her baby.

As they were passing a river, the man fairy had an idea. He thought that they should create a world with no evil and keep it secret from the destruction fairies. The woman picked up a rock from the riverbed, dunked it in the water, and then rolled it around in the dirt. Then, she focused all the impetus she had into the little rock to give it the power to grow. Then, the man set the rock on top of a sunflower so the new world could grow on a soft, safe surface.

The man and wife went back every day to check on the new little world until the day the wife went into labor. When the little baby was born, the man informed all of the creation fairies of the new world they had created and that now was the time to escape from the destruction fairies. All of the fairies met at by the river and then the all joined their powers and the little rock grew 100,000 time its size. In the new world, there were large animals that only ate the vegetation, and berries sweeter than any of them ever had tasted before.

As the little fairy boy grew, he found joy in making berries that made the other ferries fall ill, and animals that killed the other animals for food. His most destructive creation was man. Man eventually took all the berries and hunted must of the animals, leaving the fairies to starve. Where the fairies were buried is where the crops grew. The only fairy that remained was the boy who created them, although none of the humans saw him. He flew high into the sky and survived on the sacrifices that the humans made to him. And if the humans ever failed to make a sacrifice, the fairy would punish by drying out all of their crops until they made the sacrifice.
