Creation Myth

In the beginning there was nothing but darkness and chaos. Out of those two things Baako and her brother Daahir were born. They were also known as the first born and revelation. Together they worked to spread light across the land. Little did they know what lay ahead of them.

Baako and Daahi had a little girl named Maame or nice thoughts.They adored their baby girl and gave her anything she wanted. As she grew to be a toddler she became scared of the dark. Baako and Daahir wanting to please their daughter created the stars out of dust particles dipped in the light on the far side of the land. This pleased Maame. As Maame grew older she became more independent. Baako and Daahir knew this would happen they just didn't know that it was so soon for Maame was only eigfht. Years old. Seeing Maame be less dependeant on her parents made them sad. They solved the problem by having a son named Nakisisa or the child of the shadows. They were all happy at first except for Maame. Not only was she no longer the only child but she had a gift, a gift for her father, the gift of prophecy. When she was six, she had a prophecy that her brother would be born three years later and he would be the one to end them all. She had to kill him before he turned eighteen. She had never killed anyone... So would this plan work? Nakisisa always stayed by his parents, he was a good boy. He always stayed out of trouble. Where as Maame always caused trouble. Nakisisa was their parents favorite child. When Nakisisa's 12th birthday arrived, Maame's parents treated her as an outcast. They all gathered around Nakisisa as he opened his presents. As he came across a circular present, his parents told him he would have to take care of it. He would have to put some sort of creation on it to worship the Gods. They told him that it was to be called Kaafi. Maame was so outraged, she jumped up and attacked her brother. She hated her parents and wished they would burn in the pit of hell.

This fight between the sibilings never ended. Nakisisa stayed on his planet created plants, animals, and fresh crops. The only time he ever came off Kaafi was for his birthdays. His eighteenth birthday was arriving in two days, and he wanted to please his parents. He still had to create humans to harvest the crops, build buildings, and do the normal human thing. He tried to do this with squirels but they were too unintelligent. He created man and woman to replenish the earth. He taught them everything he knew from growing crops to building houses to creating their own happiness in their own havens. Men and women worshipped the gods for they had taught them many great things. As he was walking home for his birthday he felt sort of off. H decided to go the long way home. Only to find that he had become lost. His parents stayed up for hours but he was never found again.

Can I write a complaint it is way too long. But forget about that I really like how you put a lot of thought into it. I also like how you took a lot of time and made it really long. But hey keep it up. Great job by the way

I really enjoyed your story, it was very interesting and had really good detail. I liked the names you used and the reason the squirrels aren't the dominating species.
