         <description><![CDATA[<div>          Somewhere in space where half of space is light and dark, the sun god Ra gives birth to a girl, her name was Irene. She was beautiful, kind, brave, and a warrior. Some morals will said she is the light to their dreams. Selene, the god of the moon also give birth to a boy name Shad. He was dark, brave, and a warrior like Irene. The morals think that he is the darkness of shadows. Ra and Selene were enemies, they will always fight until the end of time.&nbsp;<br>	As they got older, Irene and Shad meet each other for the first time in the moral realm call Earth. Shad saw Irene and try to attack her, but Irene block his attack and so on they fight. When the fight was over Irene laugh at Shad. Shad asks Irene why she was laughing at him for no reason, Irene said she was glad she is not the only one that has powers. After Shad hears that, he fell and love with Irene and Irene fell in love and Shad. Shad and Irene try to fall in love, but they can’t because they are different. Shad was the dark and Irene was the light. They both went back home and never saw each other again.<br>	Few years have pass Irene and Shad parents were punished for breaking one of the goddess law. Ra and Selene told their child to make a plan, a plan to kill each other so one will rule all space. After they told them Ra and Selene powers disappear and went to the moral realm and was never to be seen again. Irene cry as her father went away to Earth. Then she uses her powers to create soldiers so they can go to war with Shad like her father told her. While Irene was creating her soldiers, Shad plan to kill Irene so he also uses his powers to create soldiers.<br>	Days have passed and it was a day, the day Shad and Irene went to war. Shad yells at his soldiers to attack Irene and her soldiers. The fight went on between Shade and Irene and their soldiers. All the soldiers were gone, disappear into space and turning into dust, but Irene still attacks Shad. A few hours later, Shad and Irene strength were drained out of their body. They fell onto the bloody battlefield. As both of the gods lay on the field, they both look each other and notice that they need each other to survival and rule space, they notice that they are the same. Both of the gods got up from the field and went back to their home to rule space. From that day Shad and Irene fell in love forever.<br>	So the lesson in this story is don't let anyone stop you from having love. If your parents stop you from having love tell them how much you love that person in your hearts. Someday your life might change because of the person that you love. No one can stop you from having love.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br></div><div>&nbsp;&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>          The day Thálassa was born , the nymphs&nbsp; rejoiced. The waves crashed . The dolphins jumped. The sea raised . They sensed one day she would have power over all of them. She was there goddess.&nbsp;</div><div>	 Thálassa was born to Poseidon and Amphitrite, and she was immortal. She was very beautiful . Poseidon often called her the Pearl of the Sea. She had golden hair that went to her ankles , with light orange stikes in running through her hair. She had crystal blue eyes and fair skin . She often wore a single pearl around her neck. But don’t be fooled by her appearance , she had a fiery temper like no goddess ever had before.&nbsp;</div><div>	Even as a child the waves seemed to be at her command . She enchanted everyone around her. So when she was fully grown Poseidon decided to take her to Mt. Olympus to meet the other gods.&nbsp; When she walked through the golden hall of Mt. Olympus she was initially drawn to Ares god of war.&nbsp; Though she seemed like the gentle type she was not. She made friends with many gods and goddess . One person that was not fooled by her outward appearance was Hera. Hera saw&nbsp; Thálassa as a threat. Hera needed to get rid of her , fast. Meanwhile ,&nbsp; Thálassa was falling in love with Ares . She was happy at Mt. Olympus and did not plan on leaving. Hera however had other plans .&nbsp;</div><div>	Hera knew she needed Zeus to be threatened if he would ever get rid of Thálassa. Hera told Zeus that Thálassa was trying to overpower him and take his place as King of the gods. Zeus could not risk being overpowered , so he accused Thálassa of trying to start a war. Thálassa got so angry she started yelling and screaming. The gods voted against her because they believed she was guilty because of her attitude. She was banished to the ocean forever.&nbsp;</div><div>	Thálassa was heartbroken . She missed Ares , and was very angry at being banished for something she did not do. Poseidon took pity on her and gave her a new title, Thálassa, goddess of waves . With the waves at her command , she spent centuries storming around the ocean. Until, one day she meet Delfini , god of dolphins. He was one of the only one who can calm her fury. Although&nbsp; half of her heart still belonged to Ares she married Delfini and had many children, both heroes and monsters. One was the magical Dolpgus, which is a flying dolphin.&nbsp;</div><div>	When ever Thálassa got angry terrible tsunamis formed . She showed no mercy to any descendant of Zeus who crossed the waters. She granted many heroes safe travels too. Some people were just unfortunate to be on the sea when she was angry. Thálassa was a misunderstood goddess with a fiery temper. This shows you,&nbsp; to control your temper and think before you speak . Whenever you are on the water and exit the water alive, you better leave an offering to Thálassa or you may not be so lucky next time.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>         Underneath New York in the sewers lives a gigantic gorilla named Grodd. Grodd is a hairy gorilla with fists the size of a binder. The Gigantic gorilla has his partners that are normal size and they are called the LG (Little Giant).Look like gorillas but are trained to be more tough. They live all around the sewer to protect Grodd. The sewer is right in time square underneath the Marriott. The problem is that at night when Grodd goes to sleep his snoring wakes up all of the hotel guests.</div><div>After a few nights the guests get mad and start to search for Grodd. They look all on the roads and in the basement of the hotel. A few days later they are still searching for Grodd, but they can’t find him. They call animal control and then animal control is on the search team. A few days later the Marriott hotel has no guests because of the noise complaints.</div><div>One day when the animal control guys are searching they see one of the LG’s in the sewer drain. So they get their equipment and go into the sewer. Grodd hides in the back of the sewer so the animal control guys will have to search for a long time. When they capture the LG they think he is the criminal for all of the snoring. So all of the hotel guests come back and then that night they still hear the sound. Everybody thought they found the criminal but they did not and they were really mad. </div><div>A few weeks later they have found 6 LG’s and the still hear the sound. They do not know that Grodd has over 1,000 LG’s. The search team is going deeper and deeper into the sewers. Then the search team gets a new machine that puts out poisonous gases and hopefully will kill the LG’s. When they put the gas bomb in the sewer they hear sounds of the gorilla’s dyeing. The are relieved and they think that all of the sound is gone. That night there are still sounds of the snoring because the gas does not kill Grodd. The searchers do not have to kill all of the LG’s anymore, they just have to find Grodd. </div><div>A week later they they find Grodd and he is weak from the fumes and all of the searchers tie him down with ropes. They then drop a super toxic bomb right next to Grodd and it kills Grodd. The people learned that when there is loud thunder it is Grodd the giant gorilla snoring.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	In a far away place thousands of years ago, there was an evil king of the underworld named Zandor. He was very dark and cruel, especially to his servants and slaves. He wanted evil spirits to roam the Earth and haunt whoever they wanted.</div><div><br></div><div>	On the flip side, there is Lester. Lester lives in Heaven. He is happy and bright to everyone except his nemesis Zandor. Lester has no slaves or servants and spreads joy to the world, but hates evil spirits.</div><div><br></div><div>	One day, Lester see’s an evil spirit go inside someone. He gets so mad that he goes into the underworld and gets into a huge argument with Zandor. They are screaming at each other when finally Lester say’s,”Fine, we'll settle this tomorrow at dawn on Earth. Bring your best army and we’ll fight until someone dies with their army.” “Deal,” says Zandor.</div><div><br></div><div>	That night, neither of them slept one bit while trying to get the biggest army possible. Lester got all of the people on Earth, while as Zandor got all the people from the underworld including his slaves and servants. Lester had the bigger army for sure, therefor he thought he could easily win. Their they met at dawn ready to destroy each other.</div><div><br>	Finally, they started the war! Zandor started killing Lester’s army first, and Lester did the same until it was just them two left. They began a gruesome fight. It lasted 32 years until finally Lester grew too tired to fight and too hurt to go on. He agreed that it was only fair that the evil spirits haunt the Earth. That’s why evil spirits haunt the Earth. The moral of the story is it is not about how big your army is, it’s about how much faith you have in the people around you.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	A man has been missing for 5 years now in New York City and nobody could find him, the missing man was named Bobby. When a child named John goes exploring he finds a terrifying cabin in the middle of nowhere. After he walks up to the cabin he hears a weird sound in the cabin. John was about to walk away he sees a creature going behind the cabon. John was very curious about the mysterious creature, so John followed the creature and about 100 feet from the cabin was a house with red walls and a flat top. After John broke a branch 100 of people looking like zombies attack him and John is knocked out.</div><div>John woke up to tied to a chair and  strange men eating but normal people then John yelled “Hello?” All the men looked at him and the men turned into zombies blood and crimpily everywhere. A bell rang and the zombies just looked up in the roof of the house and still for about 30 seconds and then ran outside to John home New York.  John escaped but flipping his chair so he can stand up and got the butter knife and got free.  John knew he couldn't get to New York before the zombies so he explored. John found lots of thing but the thing that caught his eye was a missing paper about Bobby. But when John was tied he remembered that the papers face was identical to one of the zombies. Also the paper said “Missing Bobby $5,000 if found”. </div><div>John started to explore more and more, then found 3 people sleeping. John was very scared because he thought they where going to turn into zombies into like Bobby. At that second they woke from there sleep and saw John. John was very confused because he didn't attack him but brought him to a helicopter and introduced themselves. My name is Joe, My name is Billy, and my name is Bob. I found out that there all brothers. They brought me into the helicopter and we went toward New York. John wondered why they where with all those zombies. “We where captured by them because we had these called Storms” said Bob. Then a Storm formed in my eyes by just the click of a button. “These creatures called Storms are the only things that can kill the zombies” said Joe. Once we reached New York it was all broken down there was no people left in New York and all the building where destroyed and all the zombies where gathered in the middle of New York holding people hostage. </div><div>“Oh No” Bob said. “The helicopter is crashing” Bob yelled. They got stuck at the just st the middle but really close. The zombies but obstacles like car wall. The wall was very tall but hard because of doors flying off and to the floor. Once they  got up on the top it was the way down they where worried about. They found a latter right to the left of them so they got down , right as they got down the zombies spoted them. They started to summon the Storms.</div><div>The Storms and the zombies started to fight but Bob summoned more and more Storms. John saw a giant light pointing up in the sky and told his team to follow him he made it to the light.</div><div>The time they got there Bobby the leader of the zombies came. He started to hold the the light and fired a lighting bolt with his bear hands Bob summoned a Storm to guard him and the Storm absorbed it and fired it back and the zombies had turned into normal people.  The Storms won the fight.Bobby was finally found and New York was filled with people again. 38 years later New York was back the way it was before all the buildings were the same and build and fresh as new. Zombies are powerful but Storms are even more.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Franklin the shape shifting turtle lived a happy and peaceful life until hunters came into his property and started looking for him. Franklin quickly had to find a safe place to hide. He found that he could hide safely in the rocky mountains so he transformed into a jet and flew over there. </div><div><br></div><div>One peaceful day in the Appalachian Mountains in a place where nobody had ever hiked before was were Franklin the shape shifting turtle lived. Franklin lived a peaceful and happy life. Franklin had to hide for his entire life because people were looking for him so they could get money. He would always have to disguise himself to look for food.</div><div><br></div><div>	The next day Franklin heard a weird noise of what sounded like rustling leaves,</div><div>He heard footsteps. He never heard footsteps in this part of the mountain. Then he heard voices “ He’s over here!’ franklin heard. So he quickly transformed into a tree and the people walked right past him “you said he was here!” yelled one of the men “ he was” said the other man. </div><div>	</div><div>	Franklin needed a place, to hide but where. He couldn’t hide anywhere in the mountains because they were going search the mountain until they found him. Franklin had the perfect spot. Franklin would hide in the rocky mountains.

         <title>Why Did We Have Snowpocolypse</title>
         <author>kboling1</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/kboling1/myth/wish/232366946</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>	On january 28th 2014, a huge snow storm struck Atlanta, georgia were the constant flow of maritime tropical front pervent most snow storms. This feck of nature occurrence has captained the entire country and is still remembered today as snowpocalypse. But why did the water change its patterns of containal mild weather. The snowstorm was out of the ordinary and caused gridlock by caching the city residents by surprise. The storm could not have happened by without a reason but what might that reason be. The answer is contained with in a town in the sky that rests on the clouds. Pull up your most comfy armchair read carefully for if you do you might find a very important lesson to take away with you. </div><div><br></div><div>Young Alex found about the town news in a rather unusual way. She heard from her mother who, heard from her father, who heard from a friend who was the mayor. This system had is uses and that was how the she found out about the invasion. The story went that the pogosains were marching to the south taking over to every town they meet. The pogosians were big ice creatures that lumbered around. They were at lese ten feet tall and and 5 feet wide. And they were famous. When they forgot it was like trying to fogout miches. They had incredible strength. The most with surgically perstition there appeared mathematically calculated and the never seemed to get hurt  and for some reason they never need to sleep. They were beasts.</div><div><br></div><div>The town was going wild. A few hours earlier when the announcement was made everyone just pancked. Everyone ran for there home clutching their children and when she looked around there was no one there. Then there was a rumble than another and another they grew faster and faster until the were just one continuous hum of rumbling and vibrating. They were coming. Alex noticed something very odd happening. The cloud surface that the town sat appeared to be ocastianaly flaking away with each rumble and shake. Alex momentarily froze in fear, then ran for her life for fear of being crushed by the evil warriors. She ran up and down high street but there was not anywhere she could get inside. Thinking quickly she dove behind a trash can in a nearby ally way.</div><div><br></div><div>From the ally way she could hear the horrible groaning sound made by pogosains. Than she had other should the shouting cries of the golems the protector of the town. They leapt at pogosians charging into battle. The noise was tumblre created whirling rumbling cacophony of gorn. Moan, yells roars, Thuds, bangs, clashes, and pops. It went on for hours, years, centuries? Alex did not know all concept of time or space or concousnes was lost in in the roaring cacophony on the street. And then it stopped, everything stopped and all was quiet.  </div><div><br></div><div>The moment of silence did last long a minute maybe? But to Alex it felt like an entity. And then slowly and quietly people begin to creep slowly out of there house light the moment after a terrible storm has passed and the rainbow would appear. But there was no rainbow. All that greeted the eyes of the onlookers were the exhausted golems and the towarted pogosians and the mass disterction that they caused.</div><div><br></div><div>The battle of the north and the south as it was later called by the people of the sky was the first time in history that the pogosians had ever been defeated.the snow was caused by the great shaking that was caused by the pogosains. The pogosians learned a very important lesson that day  can you figure out what it is? If you have would encourage you to think about the what it means. if not read the story and follow the instructions just stated. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Sheldon the Tiny Dinosaur who Thinks He&#39;s a Turtle</title>
         <author>kboling1</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/kboling1/myth/wish/232414328</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>	It all began peaceful in Sheldon’s little village in Helen,Georgia. Sheldon’s tribe of tiny dinosaurs who live in the woods, have huts made of are buttermilk pancakes. Sheldon likes to make windows out of his. His friends are Bella and Sam. They are best friends. They like to go on walks and hide in hiker’s and backpacker’s pockets.  They make forts out of pine straw. Sheldon’s father was the leader. His father was the best leader. </div><div>One day when Sheldon and his friends were out on their little sailboat they heard screams and saw smoke. When they went back to see what was going on there was no one left. Sheldon realized that someone took the rest of the tribe. There was a sudden gust of wind and a note flew to them which read “I  have taken this tribe for extinction.” So Sheldon and his friends set out to find the person who took his tribe. Later that day, Sheldon read some myths his father had. One was about how Zeus set out to kill his evil father who ate his brothers and sisters. Zeus had a sword and shield and later a lightning bolt which Sheldon thought was really cool.</div><div>The next day they found two campers who were packing up. Sheldon, Bella, and Sam hid in the backpack that was the coziest and had pancakes. When they got to the backpacker’s house they jumped out with syrup trickling from their mouths. So sheldon and his friends looked around and played bee ball, a game of shooting pebbles at bees with a piece of a cracked rock, grass, and  a pebble. Then they saw a portal and two people about the size of them popped out. These people said they were Jason and Hercules. They were sent from Mt Olympus to tell them what had happened.</div><div>So after getting weapons and armour they got a shell. If they needed something they could just blow into the shell and Jason and Hercules would show up. The trio set out for the amazing but dangerous journey ahead of them. After one day, they made it to an abandoned apartment complex. The smell was atrocious. What they thought was in there was not what it seems. But what they didn’t know is the worst of all. So they looked around and went out back to see what the smell was. Then Sheldon saw his father in a bag like the rest of his tribe dead. Sheldon was now very angry and he vowed to strike fear into the one who did this to them. Boom boom boom. It was a scientist with a trash can. The scientist put the bag into the trash. So Sheldon and his friends quickly went back to the woods to their village. </div><div>They gathered the tagles. It is a type of turtle that could fly and hold 50 times its weight. Then Sheldon thought that something was missing so he blew the shell and Hercules and Jason popped out of nowhere and asked what they needed. They said an army of tagles because they only had three. So they got what they asked for, an army of tagles. They flew to the apartment and threw their little seed bombs and onions for smell and smoke. Then the war started and immediately ended. The scientist was allergic to onions so bad it killed him. </div><div>Concluding, Sheldon made a grave for his father. He visits it every day. He and his friends made a new village in the garden of the house they found. They now make sure nothing like that ever happens again. They love the new village they built. Sadly it is not out of pancakes but of the fairy house in the massive garden. Now you know how Sheldon’s tribe went extinct.  “Tell me what you learned. You always find the heart of the evil and face it”.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

Their mom tells them they shouldn’t fight because that’s not what sisters should do. Later that day, the sisters start a pillow fight, not knowing how much trouble this will cause to the whole Earth that day. Angelina hit Karis so strongly that the pillow ripped apart, and the 12 feathers turned into 2,000 feathers.&nbsp;</div><div>All of the feathers blew towards the weather system, that decides the weather each day.

         <title>The Revenge of Fotia</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	This is the type of myth that whoever thinks they know all about greek mythology, because they don't.  The one greek goddess they don't know, the one who was the sister of Hercules, the one sook revenge, the one who was forgotten. The goddess of the center of Earth, Fotia. </div><div>	When Fotia was born, her and Hercules were the center of attention all around the universe for they were the children of Zeus, but when Hercules was sent down to earth Zeus was so obsessed with his son. Fotia was captured by Hera, but instead Zeus looking for Fotia, he didn't have a care in the world for his daughter. She didn't even have a name. He thought she would not have the power that any of the other goddesses had. Hera let Fotia live for she could the evil and revenge she was going to have on her brother and father.</div><div>	Fotia grew up in the underworld with her uncle, Heides, and Hera which was where she got her name that means fire, it was the only place no one would look. At this time, Fotia was around age 18 and grew up into a beautiful young woman with hair the color of fire and skin seems like it has been in the sun its whole life, but she has never seen the sun, Fotia had bright orange-red eyes were fire themselves along with her fire ridden wolf, Ifaisteio. One day Fotia is told to go venture out where the sun touches the Earth, where the gods of Mount Olympus looks down on Earth’s very own surface. </div><div>Fotia goes out of the underworld through The River of Styx. For the first time Fotia is touched by the sun and all its harsh rays that make the difference from night and light. As the gods of Mount Olympus look down, she could see the face of Zeus looking down on her in shock for his daughter is alive. Alive and well indeed wandering the surface from where she was hiding. Now, Zeus could see what Hera was seeing, power, anger, and revenge which Zeus was afraid of. He did not want his own daughter to slaughter him, so Zeus calls on one of his most famous son Hercules and told about his plan to try to make Fotia part of the gods to make her happy and not slaughter. Hercules thought she, this girl from the underworld, who he nothing about, was going to take his fame. He disagreed with his father, but like always, Zeus was going to do it anyway. Hercules had a different plan in mind, one that would make him the center of attention, the one where Fotia gets slaughtered. </div><div>Zeus goes to the high court ,which he was the leader of, and told everybody that Fotia was going to be a goddess, just not sure of what yet. Hercules on the other hand tells everybody that she was the girl in a prophecy, the girl who was going to defeat them all. The other gods did not like the idea of Fotia, whoever she was joining them. In fact, Hercules convinced them all to confront his father of the matter. Zeus had no care for this and just wanted his daughter. Hera plan was coming together when Fotia was brought from the Earth to the top of the Mountain she officially became a goddess. Fotia and her father got along well, even better than Hercules. Herci]ules was as made as he has ever been. That night he goes into her room at night and stabbed Ifaisteio right in the chest and framed Zeus for this. The next day she so furious that Fotia felt the need to kill her father. Fotia started a great battle between Fotia and her father and stabbed her father but, Zeus never died. When Zeus fought back, she was stabbed and never died, just like her father. For this reason, she is chained up in the center of the Earth screaming and hollering waiting for someone to here her through the volcanoes while her voice turns into lava. This is why volcanoes erupt. </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>       Once upon a time there was a man-angel that decided he wanted to go to the evil place. There is one God, an “angel” named Satan, and another angel named Gabriel. Satan had started off as an angel, but did not have faith and obey the lord. Satan was kind of like a child that won’t obey their parents and does what they choose.&nbsp;</div><div>	It all Started when God created the world. He created the heavens and the sea, the sky and the fish in the sea. Everything you can think of God created, including you! God also has the help of angels with him. One of the most popular angels is Gabriel. Gabriel sent messages and signs to people in the bible. Another “popular” angel was Satan, which is where the story begins.&nbsp;</div><div>	Satan was one of God’s angels in the beginning, but something interesting happened in heaven. Satan would disobey the Lord and thought he was all better. God can overpower anyone and he can wipe them out instantly, but that is not what he does. As you know we have so many choices. We can do the good in something or the bad in something. We have choices in life like that because of the Lord, and that is exactly what he did with Satan. Satan had a choice between good and bad just, like he gave us.&nbsp;</div><div>	God could have instantly wiped out satan but then how would we have mistakes? Satan is the person that causes us to do bad things or say bad things. The lord did not kill Satan’s power on purpose so that we can learn from them. This story kind of relates to when Jesus died on the cross for our sins, because he could have called 10,000 angels to destroy the world and set us free.&nbsp;</div><div>	God is all about choices and letting satan choose where to end up was probably his biggest. Satan had this thought that he could be way more powerful than God and he tried his best. The first way Satan showed us his power was when Adam and Eve were in the garden and got accompanied by Satan. He tricked them to eat from the fruit of the middle tree, the tree of good and evil. They could have had all the other fruit, endless amounts, but they had to eat from that one tree.&nbsp;</div><div>	If you think that the Gods from the myths are powerful you would not believe how powerful the Lord is. God is as powerful as the winds in a hurricane, or the waves in a tsunami. He is more powerful than all the Gods put together, or 300 armies put together. If you have faith in the Lord you can’t let anyone or anything stop you just like when David killed Goliath with one stone. There are so many examples of his power and might in the bible, and that is very important.</div><div>		All of the stories about Satan, we can learn from like when tried to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. Not one living human being is perfect in this world. Even though nobody is perfect that doesn’t mean we stop trying to be good, and influence others to do good. No matter how powerful Satan is, God will always have the most power, and can do anything.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>      Deep deep down in the ocean, a huge tale with a human body flapped with power. Thumpback is a human-whale with a great ability that sets off tsunamis when anger gets to him. Thumpback also works for poseidon and is his co-worker to help subdue the oceans. Thumpback occasionally gets furious but not often. Poseidon on the other hand, is the God of the sea who thumpback helps keep the seas going.&nbsp;</div><div>Poseidon would always tell Thumpback to do trust anyone and to not get mislead. The Next morning Thumpback was helping Poseidon direct the waves. Poseidon ordered Thumpback to go get his toothbrush in his cave because he forgot to brush his teeth. As Thumpback was heading to get his toothbrush he heard and saw something strange. Thumpback thought he was imagining things so he kept on going. Soon he saw the red light really close and there was Heides standing 20 feet away. Heides was disguised as a great white shark but Thumpback knew that it was him because of the red light that shines inside him.&nbsp;</div><div>The shark said, Come with me I have to show you something.” Thumpback remembered what poseidon told him and said, “ I will never trust you Heides.” Swoosh! Heides zoomed at him with his huge great white shark mouth wide open. Thumpback stepped to the side and wacked him with his huge blue whale tale in the face. This made Heides mad and Thumpback mad also. Mentioned in the beginning when Thumpback get furious he sets tsunamis. Heides suddenly transformed himself into a killer whale and bit the end of Thumpback tale. At that moment Thumpback got furious. The force of the tsunami sucked Heides down and devoured him. Poseidon was wondering why Thumpback was taking so long to get his toothbrush so he decided to go see what he was doing. As soon as Poseidon saw what was happening Heides swam away.&nbsp;</div><div>Thumpback told all of the little information from beginning to end. Poseidon was very happy with Thumpback. With the ability that Thumback had, he was able to scare Heides away. Thumpback said,” Now let me go get your toothbrush.” Poseidon replied, “ I think that would be a good idea.”</div><div>Thumback finally got back to Poseidon with his toothbrush. Both Poseidon and Heides went back to directing the sea. Heides knew not to mess with Thumpback because of thumpbacks anger and his strength. In conclusion, this story shows a lesson not to trust anyone that you know is bad and that is exactly what Thumpback did.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>       In the year 9999999 BC there once was a mythical place of royalty. There were white clouds and happy gods. No one was fighting it was all calm. There was one family that was on the merge of fighting. It was the thunder and lightning family.&nbsp;</div><div>	</div><div>       In the clouds there are two brothers Rusky and Lusky. Rusky is the youngest brother in their family. He is a tall god who is really strong and is the god of thunder. He has a power that can create a shield and create a flaming bow and arrow out of thin air. He is greedy and wants to be the only one in power. This means he wants to fight his brother Lusky.&nbsp; Lusky is the older brother who is a god and tall and wise. He can shoot fire out his hands and go invisible. Then if you look in his eyes you turn into ashes.They are high up above the clouds.</div><div><br></div><div>	Years go by as they are waiting for the right moment. But in the town they are having a huge drought because they are not going to work together. Rusky one day decides he will go and fight him. They have a long stare down then Rusky fires a flaming arrow. They fight for years and the town is so flooded there are no people left in the town. They get so weak that they have to take a break.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>	That is when zeus comes from the heavens and tells them to stop. He said he was waiting for the right moment. Zeus says that we might not like eachother but we are key to life for the people. We might not like each other because we are jealous. But they might feel the same because you might have something they have or you have.</div><div><br></div><div>	The family was all friendly and kind. Rusky and Lusky were working together and the people were happy. The gods were happy and everything was good. The moral of the story is that you don't always have to have everything someone else has. It is okay that you are not alike with someone.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>    One day there is a girl named Amy and she had a husband named Josh.  Josh and Amy had hard working jobs.  Josh was a worship leader and Amy was a photographer.  One day Amy was taking a picture in the rain. She used a the flash on her camera when it was wet, so it shocked her hand and she felt a surge go through her hand and into her legs.   She started to take another picture and her hand started to take like 100 pictures per second.  She did not know what was happening to her, so she started to run to her car to get to the hospital so they could tell her what was happening to her, but she ran so fast she ran around the world without even noticing.  As soon as she got in her car she saw the people she was taking the pictures for.  She said to them “ I don’t feel good today, can we do them next week?”,and they said “ sure, I hope you feel better.”</div><div>When Amy was driving she called Josh at work and told him everything.  When she got finished telling him what happened he was amazed of what she could do.  He said he would take some time off of work to come see it. When he got there she ran so fast she ran around the world again!  He was so amazed he almost tried to run as fast as her, but realized he was so slow she ran around the world 5 times before he could take 10 steps.  She was so hungry after she ran she could “eat a building”.  So when the ate they talked about what they were going to do with the powers she got.  When they got done eating he said that he had to go back to work.  She said I think I’m going to go visit my friend Robin at her house, but don’t worry I won’t run there I’ll drive my car.  So Josh went back to work and Amy went to her friend’s house. </div><div> When Josh got to work he immediately went to his office and looked up what happened if you got struck by lightning.  When he read what happened he was so confused because nothing said anything about getting super powers it was so strange. </div><div>When Amy was close to Robins house she parked her car at a motel and ran the rest of the way.  But she ran so fast this blue thing appeared in front of her and when she ran into it she was somewhere weird she was like in a city with tall buildings so high that the top of them were in the clouds.  She thought that if I ran to get here maybe I can do the same to get back.  </div><div>So she started to run and she sall the blue thing again that looked like the top of a tornado.  She ran in to it and she was back to where she was.  So she started to run to her friends house again, and the blue thing showed up again but someone else came out of it this time.  he/she was running in and out of it over and over again until the blue thing disperse it was so strange to her.  She decided just to walk the rest of the way but she realized that her friends house was right beside her.  </div><div>She walked up to her friends house and knocked on the door.  But there was no response so she called her and her friend said that she was out shopping.  Since her friend was out shopping she decided that she would go get her husband but he was still working.  So she would go to her old friends named Nicole.  She forgot that she had something really  strange about her that she could her everybodies thoughts.  She went to her house and she said come in Amy so she did.  She said so you have powers to that you don’t know anything about.  She said that was me at first but I realized I could do great things so I decided to go back to school and learn about the body and its ways of thinking and I learned that I have a learned that your brain is the boss of your body.  It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you're asleep.  So i’m special and by having this power I decided to use to teach younger minds about your brain and how it works thru your body.  So tell me how are you going to use your powers to help our next generation.  I think I will go to a school and learn about your legs work and build up from there.  That sounds like a great idea.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Why Tsunamis Happen</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>One day in the world of Olympus there was a god, this way a great god in fact one that brought down the titans. His name was Poseidon, the god of the sea. He was fearless, brave,and responsible but there was also another side to poseidon, his dad side. His son Piper was just 11 years of age and not getting the attention he wants from his dad. </div><div><br></div><div>Piper was trying to be a normal kid, going to school having friends. Every time his mom was there, so his friends wondered who, and where was his dad. They asked, and it did not go very well piper teared up and ran and the door crying. His mom chased after him trying to get him \\to calm down. The sad thing was that this just didn't happen once or twice it happens all the time.</div><div><br></div><div>And on the other side of the world in the middle of the cold pacific ocean lived poseidon. Controlling the way, the direction, and the speed of each and every wave. He wasn't perfect though and nor did he think he was. He only saw his son a few times a year when they came to visit him in the summer for vacation. The reason he never left the ocean was because he couldn’t ,because he is one with the ocean, he is part of ocean, if he moves the ocean moves with him. This was also with emotions if he was sad the ocean got slow and sad, if he got mad the ocean got mad and that meant raging waves and sometimes tsunamis. </div><div><br></div><div>So one of he summers piper was not well connected with his dad and did not want to see him that summer. Piper got mad that his dad couldn't come live with him, he didn't understand his dad physically couldn't or he would ruin everything. And when poseidon heard this he grew angry very angry. This is the angry that doesn't cause big waves this is the angry that causes tsunamis. That's exactly what happened and the only way to stop his anger was for the town that got destroyed to come back together  and rebuild.</div><div> </div><div>They did that and he grew happier and he was fully happy the next summer when his son came to visit. And that's when the town was rebuilt. So the moral of the story is to always come back together, because a lot of things get better. And the next summer when piper came to visit poseidon taught him to surf on dolphins and they had a great time. And their relationship as a family got better and better.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	In the city of Olad, which was city that existed a very long time ago, there were two extraordinary people. Well I would not necessarily call them people, they were more like mythical people. Their names were Lofy and Lafy. They were twins. As they grew up they lived a normal life but figured out they had superpowers. Lofy could disguise himself as anything and fly. Lafy could breathe underwater and could turn invisible. The two twins got along very well until they were 30 years old. The problem was Lofy wanted kids to work in his factory for him but Lafy disagreed. They did not know it then but this would soon change their life and many others.</div><div>	It all began when Lofy and Lafy came upon a group of about five normal 10 year old kids while walking together near the beach of Olad which had crystal blue oceans and golden sand. The kids looked bored and Lofy decided he should give them something to do. So, he asked them if they wanted to work in his factory with no pay. The kids immediately said in unison “no!”Lafy was also outraged and replied saying “No, you can not make these kids work for you in your factory with no pay.” It would be to dangerous and unfair for these children she thought. This made Lofy very mad causing him to kidnap the children and fly away. This was only beginning of a longer argument.</div><div>	Now a week a had past and the children were still missing and held hostage by Lofy. Also no one had seen Lofy either but that was not quite as puzzling because he could disguise himself as anything. So he technically could be around town but not as his regular self. This is exactly what Lafy thought so she went to try to find her brother and the kids. Since Lafy could breathe underwater and turn invisible she decided to use her special skills to find them. So, using her power to breathe underwater Lafy dove in the water to try to find her brother’s lair in the middle of the ocean because this is where she thought he might be. At first things were going smoothly but then a school of fish came and surrounded her, causing her to not swim any farther. This forced Lafy to have to turn back. She did not know it at the time but this was not a regular swarm of fish, it was actually Lofy disguised as fish.</div><div>	As you can tell things were not going good for Lafy, but she decided to try to rescue the children and bring her brother to justice again. This time Lafy used another tactic, her power to turn invisible. The power to turn invisible would hopefully help her more because if she used this power Lofy could not see her and know she was coming. So, Lafy left her home, turned invisible, and started walking down the street to Lofy’s factory in hopes that she would find him there. When she got there she was able to slip in an open door and not be caught because she was invisible. The factory smelled terrible and was very large and dark. But to Lafy’s surprise the factory was deserted except for a room to the left with a sign that said do not disturb on the door. Coming from the room Lafy could hear the sound of voices talking. Even though Lafy could hear the voices she could not make out what they were saying so she stepped closer. Now Lafy could hear the voices clearly and heard someone say let us go and another person saying, if we have to work here give us pay! Immediately Lafy knew her brother and the children were in there. So she stopped being invisible and stepped into the room. This was the moment before the biggest event in her life happened. </div><div>Inside the room Lofy and the kids were sitting in a circle talking but stopped and stared. Then Lafy yelled “why have you kidnapped these kids?” Unfortunately Lofy did not respond but lunged at her and tied her to the wall. This gesture made the kids very angry at Lofy. So they quickly ran to wall and untied Lafy. Then the battle began. First, Lofy hurled himself at Lafy, causing her to fall down. Next, Lafy jumped up and ran out the door with the kids following close behind her. But Lofy was a slow runner so he was not able to catch up with everybody. Eventually Lafy and all of the kids had lost sight of Lofy and decided to rest. They thought they were safe but really Lofy was still after them. Soon Lofy did find them and was too tired to fight so he decided to try to make a compromise with his sister.</div><div>	He said, “I am sorry for kidnapping you”, to the group of kids. Then Lofy turned around and apologized to Lafy offering to make a compromise. Thankfully the kids and Lafy forgave Lofy. After talking for awhile Lafy and the group of kids made an agreement. The agreement was that the kids would all go to place a couple days a week where they would have fun and learn things so that they would have something fun and useful to do instead of being bored and working in a factory. This place was called school. School made everybody very happy and eventually more and more kids joined. To this day there is still school. Now of course this explains why we go to school but it also teaches us that we should get along with others. As you can see Lofy and Lafy did not get along which led to disaster but eventually they did get along and things got better. In conclusion this myth tells why we go to school and that we should get along with others.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Why Snakes Don&#39;t Have Legs</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	The battle of Snakeman and Nechick started in a lake about 80 miles away from Atlanta, Georgia in a small lake called Fladunk. The lake was terrorized for years with this battle, then it finally ended with a quick squish. The lake had a great view and was very deep. Also, the lake was surrounded by trees and had the darkest water imaginable. Snakeman and Nechick have always lived near each other. &nbsp; It wasn’t a problem until Snakeman killed many other magical animals. Snakeman just looked like a snake with legs. Snakeman was nearly impossible to kill because his ability to run fast on his four legs and shoot lasers out his eyes. Nechick knew this was his chance to shine so he did.</div><div>Nechick had the head of a falcon and the body of an ape&nbsp; Nechick lived in a tree which was perfect because he could see everything in and out the lake. This is when he saw a bunch of ashes sitting in a pile. Also there was suit flying down to him, which looked like it gave protection and fit him so he went to get it. When he accidently ran a couple feet away from Snakeman he realized he had become invisible.&nbsp; Snakeman could not see him, he just saw right through the suit. As he was swinging through the trees back to his home he knew he had a chance of winning now.&nbsp;</div><div>The next week there was another pile of ashes on the ground. Then he saw another mythical animal sneaking up on Snakeman. So he joined in together they swung. Flew, and ran towards the miniature animal. As soon as they got close enough to hit Snakeman, the other animal threw a fireball at Snakeman who whipped around and ran for the other animals legs because he couldn’t see Nechick. Nechick at the last moment stuck his hand out and grapes the small, slimy, and strong creature. But the slippery creature slipped out of the grasp of Nechickand dashed away. That is how the battle started.</div><div>The battle continued for 2 more years when finally there was an ending. SQUISH! The next moment Snakeman was on the ground unable to move with Nechick sitting on Snakeman. Then the mysterious fireball throwing creature came and said “let's not kill him let's just make it where he can’t kill any animals. Then he burnt Snakemans feet off. And damaged his eyeballs so he couldn't kill any more animals. All Snakeman could do now is slither and bite because they stuck two of the animals teeth in it so it wouldn't be to useless.</div><div>So all the rest of the animals lived as they are, snakes aren’t as powerful and Nechick saved the day. Finally everything was back as it should be. To add to that Nechick became god of all animals. The moral of the story is to not be mean to any animals.&nbsp;</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>         Once upon a time on an island in the middle of Earth there was a white giraffe and his son Emit. On the island nothing ever happened, everything was just still. As Emit grew wiser and older he discovered there was a reason everything was still it was his father the white giraffe.</div><div><br></div><div>	Emit always noticed the fancy Rolex that his father had on but now Emit was suspect about it. So while his father was asleep Emit stole the watch. The second Emit took the watch off the white giraffe died. Emit later realized that his father's bones where cripples and skin was wrinkled the watch must have kept him alive. Emit had found the key to immortality.</div><div><br></div><div>	He felt something else in the watch something greater TIME! Exactly what he was looking for. With the watch he controlled time, so after hundreds of years with no time it was back. Emit had complete control over time. Emit was not sad about his father's death because he did nothing for him. Emit was always confused because he was not a white giraffe he was a tiger. This must of meant that his true father was still to be found.</div><div><br></div><div>	Later Emit ditched the island and went on to find his father. This journey lasted 365 days until he found his father. They rejoiced together for another 365 days when his father perished this time Emit was sad and wished he gave his father the Rolex to live longer. Emit called these time periods of days years and discovered that life decreases as these years go on. Now knowing what his Rolex had unlocked he would take place as the god of time.</div><div><br></div><div>	Still today Emit keeps his Rolex and keeps time running. Emit watches over the people with sorrow and helps guide them to wisdom. But Until someone else takes the rolex Emit will remain the ruler of time. The moral of the story is things do not always turn out as you want them to.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	Once upon like, maybe yesterday or something, The greatest fighter that represents planet, AC-DC, Obi-Juan-Kenobii who has a power to heal wounds by sneezing. He works out by eating celery because it takes more calories to eat it than it gives you. He has a diet consisting of about 18,000 calories but he has a six pack some how. His nutrition is organic gummy bears and loves to go to the salsa and chips bar. But one day something bad happened like something really bad happened…</div><div><br></div><div>	He lives on Planet, AC-DC which is basically all you ever hear is the sound of a concert.

Or a Mexican restaurant. </div><div><br></div><div>	One day his enemy Pablo Teh Great a teleportation master took all of the salsa from his favorite Mexican restaurant. Then he knew Pablo would need to pay the consequence. Obi went searching for Pablo and eventually found him and then they had one of those cowboy scene things. Then they fought with quesadillas. Obi only had one quesadilla and Pablo had 10, Pablo wasting his teleportation energy and had thrown all his quesadillas (Pablo’s aim is terrible) and then he had no more which gave Obi the perfect time to hit Pablo. Pablo was stabbed and then Obi threw Pablo off a bridge.</div><div><br></div><div>	Obi got stabbed on a rail on the way home, but then he smelled a flower and sneezed to heal his wound.

         <title>Why the Tide Goes In and Out</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	Twelve year old Mary, has always wanted to go to the water by herself but her mom just wouldn't let her. Like what could ever possibly happen at the ocean? After all she was almost thirteen. One day her mom left to go get groceries and Mary had the idea to go to the water. She grabbed her blue bike that she had gotten for her birthday last year and slipped on a helmet. Pedaling as fast as she could down the road she turned a corner cautiously. She was at the beach.</div><div><br></div><div>	She had never been to the beach before. Her mom had said it was dangerous, but would never tell her why. She realized that maybe this whole time her mom had been keeping a secret, something from her. The secret was that her dad was Poseidon and her mom and him had got divorced a long time ago, but Mary didn't know this. Mary decided not too worry to much and like she said earlier what is the worst that could happen. Slipping of her sandals she went and chased the seagulls, wind blowing in her hair, sand flinging up from her feet. Before long she grew tired and sat down near a palm tree gazing at the clear blue water. She desperately wanted to go but something felt as if she shouldn't, almost like something was warning her, urging her not to go. The waves did look choppy and strong but that probably was just because Mary rarely sees the ocean, and doesn't remember what it is like. So before long, she was at the water's edge, and had convinced herself to go even if it was just for a few minutes. </div><div><br></div><div>Meanwhile, Mary's mom had just gotten home. Mary she called, help me bring in the groceries. No answer. She called Mary's name again, still no answer. She unpacked the groceries and decided she probably went to a friends house or maybe just for a simple walk to the market. As she went to the garage to lock her car she didn't see Marys bike. She got the thought that she had went to the beach. Horrible memories swirled her mind.</div><div><br>	Mary dove into the water. Her mom dashed to the ocean but it was to late Mary had gotten caught in a riptide. Poseidon did this so that then Mary would live with him instead of her mom, because a while ago Marys mom and her dad, Poseidon got divorced that was the reason why her mom never wanted to go. She didn't want Mary to get hurt because she knew he was very mad. Her mom started shouting and  telling her to swim diagonal and then a flash of light appeared. The other goddess of the water approached and as a thank you to her mom for doing as much as she could to keep her daughter safe. She used her powers and fought against Poseidon and then when she had won, she brought the water out so that Mary could walk back to shore. After that day, the water always went in at the same time and then went out again later so that if someone else ever got caught, they would have a way out. Also ever since that day, Mary did what her mom told her to do because she knew that there was always a reason, and because of that Mary never ran into a bad conflict again.</div>]]></description>

         <title>Why Thunder and Lightning Happen</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>	One day in Rockland County, New York there was a huge booming storm and it was the worst people had experienced in their entire lives. But no one knew why it was so bad. Up in the clouds though it was an entirely different story. That is where this story began.</div><div>	Up above in the clouds it was beautiful and white with fluffy soft clouds. They were so soft that you almost didn’t want to go anywhere else.&nbsp; Although some of the worst things can happen to change the entire atmosphere to a dark, gloomy place that no one wants to be in. This all happens when the twins get into a fight with each other. These fights can even start over the smallest things ever like who is going to get the last grape or something like that. When that happens they start an argument and then the real story begins. Although these twins are very strong and good looking. They are 20 feet tall and have swords that when used either shoot lightning out of the tip or make a huge booming sound like thunder. These swords though are 10 feet long.&nbsp;</div><div>One peaceful day in the clouds above, everyone is having the best time of their lives when the biggest argument of the century happens between Thunder and Lightning. That is when the biggest storm ever happened. Their fight was so ferocious that it lasted in the clouds it lasted for 20 years of straight fighting nonstop. Although on the surface, it lasted in one area for 24 hours also nonstop. This storm traveled from New York to California, and from there it traveled all the way across the pacific ocean into Asia where it finally stopped above India.</div><div>Once it stopped it only stopped because they needed to rest, but once they got up it was back to war they went for 10 years.&nbsp; This time the war didn’t last as long, but it was even more brutal than before. This time there was even a little bloodshed from the wounds made by the swords. They would knock the other one off of their feet, then start hitting him with his fists. But then it came down to the last day and it was the fiercest of them all with both brothers hitting harder than ever before when finally Thunder was defeated by Lightnings final blow. Which threw him ten god sized feet away. When this happened, he didn’t get up he just laid there.</div><div>&nbsp;That is when Lightning had realized what he had done to his brother. It then resulted in him crying in pain. Then Thunder got up and forgave his twin brother. That is why and how thunder and lightning came to be. The lesson that they learned is that not everyone is perfect and that we can all make mistakes and get into fights, but we will always realize them after we react to it.</div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>Why Flowers Lose Their Petals</title>
         <author>kboling1</author>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>        Why do flowers lose their petals? Have you hear of Hyacinth the goddess of beauty and wonders of the world? She wore a long beautiful dress white on the top and then fades into a light baby blue. A long white train also fading into blue. Her hair was the color of an almond, her skin was the color of a Enokitake mushroom. </div><div>She had lived in the mesmerising forest Talzinthia the place where she had lived her whole life of corse not including the many journeys she took to restore beauty to the world. She enjoyed spending time with the animals she would talk to them and they would talk to her. One day her life changed for good.</div><div>One delicate morning Hyacinth was drinking from the creek of Bayou meaning “a small stream”. She saw a cassowary which was unusual for where she lives. It was drinking at a distance. This alarmed her a cassowary was so colorful and beautiful but so dangerous, But most important if you saw this majestic bird it meant something terrible was going to happen. </div><div>These birds were a sign, a warning sign, though alarmed Hyacinth did not move away but stayed and stared at the beauty of this creature. She heard a strange whoosh of wind behind her, she slowly turned her head to see a Slender Billed Crow. It was not normal for crows to come close to gods and goddesses, something was offbeat. She stood up to look, in the corner she saw a fawn witch she had named Chinda which means “a beloved dear girl”, but with a crack of a stick she was gone. </div><div>The crow just sat there staring at Hyacinth, but he seemed to have an irate look on his face. Then, the crow morphed into a new shape it was Hades. Hyacinth asked “ Why are you here oh cousin. I am not like you and do not wish to join you in the underworld so why have you come.” Hades replied “ I am here to take what you have loved.” At that moment he snapped his fingers and Hyacinth dropped dead. Immediately the sky turned black and started to rain, all the trees, flower and plants wilted and died, the grass was not longer green, water was no longer blue, and all the animals that were beautiful and kind ran and hid in dark caves but, all the dark and evil animals stayed and roamed the earth. The world had lost all beauty.</div><div>Hyacinth was a goddess so she was now in the stars she said to Hades” why must you kill out of jealousy, look around you have destroyed beauty and nature.” Without saying a word Hades disappears. Hyacinth was rolling her eyes at Hades she though how could he be so foolish, sure she was not roaming the earth anymore, but she was still the goddess of beauty she could still controle beauty and nature. In a flash the world was back to normal. Every year flowers lose their petals to mourn the day Hyacinth left the world.  </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>How Tsunamis Came To Be</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><br></div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; Once upon a time there was a goddess named Aguasealia, who lived in Olympus in Greece, and she was the daughter of Poseidon. Aguasealia was the goddess of all water except the ocean, which was her father’s. One day when she was old enough her father went to her and said “Aguasealia you are now of the age where I can now bestow the ocean upon you, for you were meant to always own it because you are the goddess of all water.” Armed with her new power the goddess went on to try to help Olympus, and the world.&nbsp;</div><div>&nbsp;Winter fell, and her beautiful water became frozen which made her upset, she wished to make waterfalls flow, and make the ocean come in to the tide. Alas, she could not though, for she was not the goddess of ice, but water. She knew if Persephone came to Earth to see her mother Hermes, the Earth would be lovely, warm, and the water would once again flow. So, Aguasealia broke a lake of ice revealing a glistening, clear lake. “Oh how I've missed your shine!” she wept knowing that all of the water would soon be freed.&nbsp;</div><div>So, Aguasealia snuck down into Hades dressed as a demon and retrieved Persephone. “AHH, LET ME GO” Persephone screeched as she was swept to the surface. Once they were on Aguasealia revealed herself and Persephone felt relief. As they walked together to Hermes, every step Persephone took made a path of flowers.&nbsp;</div><div>Once the land was warm, and spring was again on earth, Hades was uset. His wife had been taken from him. Knowing Aguasealia had been wanting spring to come to reveal her beautiful water, he knew it was her. So, he went to her to plead for his wife to return to him. “Aguasealia, please return Persephone to me, she is the only good this in all of Hades!” Despite the pleading Aguasealia loved the way the warmth let her water flow, so she ignored him. This made Hades angry so he sent monsters to create waves of anger torment to destroy the lands. This was tsunami and it destroyed everything in its path. This made Aguasealia more depressed than ever, so she returned Persephone to Hades to stop the tsunami and once again create peace.</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <title>The Idea of Perfection</title>
         <author>kboling1</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/kboling1/myth/wish/233287888</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;        Once many eons ago there was a young girl called Idylla who felt her world could improve, she felt it could become more… perfect. She lived in a small sleepy town called Litochoro. The town was caked in dirt, dust, and ash causing it to become a dull beige color. Her name, her parents always told her, meant perfect in Greek. They said that when she was born she fixed their lives and made them act, feel, and look like perfection. Idylla didn’t feel the same way as they did. Her Mam and Pa weren’t the normal set of parents. Her mother had given birth to Idylla when they were in their late 40’s. This was not the norm in Idylla’s sleepy village, because of this she thought&nbsp; that their lives were imperfect. She thought to herself, <em>Being older means being imperfect. I never want to grow up.&nbsp;</em></div><div>Idylla’s only friend, she felt, was her dog, Artemis. Artemis was always there when Idylla needed him. He was a shade of rusty brown and his eyes were shiny and green. Idylla told Artemis everything, believing he could understand that she was unhappy. Just as she began heading towards the tool shed to grab the oxen’s harness, Artemis came galloping out of the house.&nbsp;</div><div>“Artemis! Come here boy!”she cried. He ran as fast as the wind, kicking up all the dust in the field and scaring away the field mice. He came to a halting stop right as he reached the toes of her shoes.</div><div>“Oh Artemis, if only I could leave…. If only.”she sighed. She knew her parents needed her here at the farm, they needed her to work in the field because they were becoming too old. <em>Another reason why I don’t want to become old, </em>she thought to herself. A faint whimper began to escape from Artemis’ mouth.&nbsp;</div><div>“Artemis what is it boy?”she asked as dark clouds rolled in as fast as marbles across a table. Her first instinct was to rush herself and Artemis inside, but then she remembered, her father’s favorite mare sitting injured in the middle of the field. She ran to her front door as Artemis followed, opening the door to let him in. Once he had gone inside she shut the door and rushed into the field. Idylla found the mare sitting there whinnying as if asking for help.&nbsp;</div><div>“ I’ve got you girl,¨ Idylla said willing the horse with her mind to stand up,¨Please stand up. Please!¨</div><div>She heaved with all the might she could muster until the horse could stand. Suddenly the horse&nbsp; gave up and began to descend towards the Earth once again. A roll of deafening thunder pierced her ears as she gave one last push the make the mare stand. Any moment now and a thunderbolt could strike her down. Idylla prayed to the gods for help and protection, and almost instantly the clouds receded making way for sunny skies once more. Idylla sweat and rain soaked clothes clung to her skin. Her father, she could see, was emerging from her home. She could see his feeble figure, the way he stumbled across the field with his cane.&nbsp;</div><div>¨Pa! Over here!” she knew that his hearing was diminishing and that it was only a matter of time before his hearing would be gone completely.&nbsp;</div><div>“Idylla, my darling, what were you thinking staying out in a storm like that? You could have asked for my help with the mare, you know that girl. Oh Idylla you frighten me so.¨ as her Pa´s quiet voice came a wave of guilt washed over her. How could she leave him to become young when he loved her so much.&nbsp;</div><div>¨Pa, you know you are not strong enough to help. I was fine by myself,” with those words Idylla’s heart resolved to find some way, somehow to get what she wanted, to stay young forever.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>Idylla wanted to have the best of both worlds, to stay with her loving parents and to stay young forever. She knew that was never possible because if she was young forever she would long surpass her parents. Idylla wanted more than anything to stay young so she had to figure out a way to do that. <em>A plan, that’s what I need, a plan, </em>she thought to herself. She called for Artemis because she believed she did her best thinking with him.&nbsp;</div><div>“There you are Artemis,”she said softly,¨ I need a foolproof plan that will make me stay young forever. Let’s see here… I could go to the witch doctor, but she lives on the very northside of town. I could bathe in the waters of infinite youth.”</div><div>Artemis began to paw at her leg as if that was not a good idea.&nbsp;</div><div>¨ Well then what should I do?” she asked the dog.&nbsp;</div><div>He stood up and walked straight out the gaping door that lead to her bedroom. His soft padded paws silently hit the floor at a pace that said, follow me. When Idylla saw this movement she decided that she should follow Artemis. He walked through the kitchen and out the front door with Idylla trailing behind him. He walked farther and farther as though he was on an endless journey. Artemis walked into the town square where all the merchants and traders resided. He rushed into the enormous crowd forcing Idylla to run to keep up with him. Suddenly, the dog stopped right in front of the temple. Idylla had never seen this particular temple before and she was awestruck at the site of its beauty. She walked up the narrow steps to reach the statue of a lovely goddess. Idylla read the sign next to the statue.</div><div>¨ Hebe, the goddess of eternal youth,¨ she said softly,¨ This is the answer! I must find Hebe and get he to make me into a goddess so that I shall become youthful forever!¨</div><div>With that thought Idylla rushed back home with Artemis galloping beside her. She devised a plan as she was running home. In the morning, when the sun created a shadow on the side of Mt. Olympius she would hide in that very shadow watching and waiting until she saw Hebe. Once Idylla saw Hebe she would command her to make her a goddess, to make her eternally youthful. Idylla knew that her parents needed her to help take care of the house and the farm, but Idylla was sure that once she was goddess her life would be better than if she stayed. She come to&nbsp; sudden stop when she saw her house and her mom dropping seeds in the field.&nbsp;</div><div>¨ Mam!¨ she called,¨ You are too fragile to plant seeds. You could hurt your back again.¨</div><div>¨ Idylla my sweet, do not worry I am not as fragile as you think I am.¨ her mother replied softly.&nbsp;</div><div>¨Come, lets have dinner.”Mam said.&nbsp;</div><div>So Idylla did as she was told and went inside to have dinner. Her mother had cooked her favorite meal of rabbit stew and when Idylla saw this a wave of guilt washed over her once more. She knew that her mind was resolved, but how could she leave. The guilt inside swallowed her whole.&nbsp;</div><div>After, dinner Idylla set out her warmest clothes that her mom had made her.&nbsp; She had to be prepared for the long journey that was in store for her. The guilt, once again, bubbled to the surface causing Idylla to regret her decision, to regret even thinking about leaving. Idylla thought this was the best thing for her but what if it wasn’t, what if this had all been a mistake. <em>It can’t be,</em> she thought. After all, the gods must have wanted her to do this because otherwise why would Artemis take her to the temple. <em>Yes, this is the right decision and this time I’m not going back. </em>She walked out of her room to say one last good night to her parents.&nbsp;</div><div>¨ Mam and Pa, I just want you to know that I love you with all my heart.¨Idylla said tearfully.</div><div>¨And we love you too my darling,¨ her parents replied.&nbsp;</div><div>With that Idylla walked into her room and onto her bed and drifted off to sleep. The next morning, Idylla quietly got up and put on her garments. She carefully slipped on her new sandals and headed towards the door. Artemis was sleeping on the floor of the kitchen, but he never stirred. She set out for the long adventure with tears streaming down her face, she knew there was no turning back now. As the light of dawn emerged from the horizon she quickened her pace. The mountain was slowly getting closer and closer with every step. After what seemed like a millennium she reached the base of the mountain. She took in a deep breath and released it, she repeated this ten more times until she felt ready to climb. She reached her arm out and pulled herself up. She then found a toe hold and put her foot there. She did this again and again until she reached the summit. She hide in the shadow of the mountain hoping and praying that her plan would work. Hours passed by until she heard the sweet sing songy voice of a young lady.&nbsp;</div><div>¨ Ah Apollo my dear, why the long face?¨ said the voice.&nbsp;</div><div>¨ Hebe you know me too well for those types of questions.”the god named Apollo replied.&nbsp;</div><div><em>Its her! Its Hebe! I can’t believe it!</em> Idylla thought. This was her chance to finally get what she wanted. Idylla sat still and waited until she heard footsteps indicating that Apollo had left. Fifteen minutes passed by until she heard the footsteps. She forced herself to climb up father and farther until she was standing on the top of Mt. Olympius. Hebe turned around exposing her beautiful face.&nbsp;</div><div>¨ You! Who are you! Why do you dare to come to the top of this mountain?!¨ the beautiful woman cried.&nbsp;</div><div>“ I am Idylla of Litochoro,”she said proudly, “ And I am here for something that you can give me.”</div><div>“What is it?” Hebe spat from her beautiful and round lips.&nbsp;</div><div>“I want eternal youth. I want to be young forever so that I can stay perfect forever.” Idylla replied with the slightest quiver in her voice. A cold laugh came from Hebe and all traces of her once lovely sing songy voice were gone.&nbsp;</div><div>“ I would never expect such greedy words from a fine young lady like you.” Hebe said harshly. Idylla didn’t know how to respond so she stood there silently doing all that she could to keep from crying. Waiting there in the silence the guilt that Idylla had once tried to throw away came back, but this time with a twinge of regret.</div><div>“ I can see that you are truly sincere about this Idylla so you shall get what you want. You shall stay young and beautiful forever.” Hebe said her voice dripping with false sweetness.&nbsp;</div><div>“Really!” Idylla said with shock.</div><div>“ Yes my dear, but there is one catch… you will never be able to enjoy the luxuries an eternally youthful life has to offer. You shall forever be my shadow.” Hebe said forcefully.&nbsp;</div><div>Tears began to run down Idylla’s face, “ Please reconsider! I can leave and never bother you again! I need to tend to my parents.”</div><div>“ And you will be allowed to see them once a year when your village is in full shadow from the mountain. Of course your parents will never know you are there because you will still remain a shadow.” Hebe said with obvious bitterness.&nbsp;</div><div>“ No… please no.” Idylla begged, but with those words she felt as though she was being flattened towards the ground. She didn’t dare to open her eyes in fear of her new reality, but when she did she was lying flat on the ground and was greeted by Hebe’s vengeful smile. This was the end of Idylla’s old life and the start of a torturous eternity.&nbsp;</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Ithaca was having a good day until she was cursed to cry rivers, literally. It all started when she was planning her biggest prank yet, she was going to give Horner (the god of cruelty) a taste of his own medicine. He would finally learn a lesson, she just had to figure out what to do. After hours and hours of thought  she had the perfect idea.</div><div>Horner had a favorite place to go, the gallows in London he would spend hours there watching the people get hung because he was in fact the god of cruelty. She planned to convince the owners to sell her the place, and she would turn it into a shoe store. When she got there the owners made a tough bargain but eventually she got it. She put an ad in the London paper looking to see if a mortal can run the shop. Someone responded and got the job, she just had to wait a while till Horner got back from the council of the gods which she of course was not at because she is not technically a God yet.</div><div>When Horner got back Ithaca went over to the shoe shop to watch and wait and see you Horner’s reaction it would be priceless. When Horner saw that his gallows had been turned into a shoe shop he got so mad smoke started coming out of his ears, literally (yes that happens with the god of cruelty). He set on a search to find the person that did this.and when he found out it was Ithaca he started cooking up some new ways to punish her……</div><div>	Sometimes Horner had an influence on Ares (king of the gods, god of war) he could manipulate him into making her the goddess of sadness. The gods have to give part of their power that has to do with whatever the new god or goddess is now the god of. Horner could then give all the wailing and crying of people who face cruelty. Ithaca would finally pay for turning the gallows into that that that thing!</div><div>	On the day of godly coronation all Horner’s influencing paid off. After the ceremony and parade and feast, Ares got up from his throne and announced that Ithaca was the goddess of sadness. After all the gods gave their powers, Horner was last, He said, “oh sorry I’m late I was having so much fun looking in my shoe shop!” then he walked over to Ithaca and gave her every person who has cried for wailed in any way from cruelty. It started with a sob,  then crying and then full on wailing, and too this day she sits in the palace court yard crying for eternity. Her servent fills a bucket with her tears and pours them into the rivers of the world, but when the bucket overflows , that's where our rain comes from.  </div><div><br><br></div>]]></description>

         <title>The Explosion that Changed the World</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>&nbsp;</div><div>         Bibi the bouncing bunny is 3½ feet tall. He is admiring the sunset that he and his friends created. Bibi is thinking about how it happened. It all started with him giving his dad the keys to his paint factory. Suddenly Bibi screams: “No!”, and he is thrown into the past…</div><div><br></div><div>	When Bibi woke up, he is a week into the past. He closes his eyes and concentrates on getting back to the real world so hard that his face turns purple with strain. Just for a moment he can hear his friends crying his name trying to get him back to consciousness. Then he is snapped back to the current moment. Bibi sees himself giving his dad the keys to his paint factory where Happy and Jaxon got their powers(long story): Pappy’s Paint and Stuff. He sees his dad getting in his car and pulling out of the driveway. And that’s when it all goes terribly wrong.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>	As Bibi sees his dad disappear down the street, he felt a sense of uneasiness. He decides to take his three feet off of the ground motorcycle to Pappy’s. When he gets there, an emotional blow of queasiness almost makes him pass out. His dad is putting chemicals and other very, very bad stuff inside of the paint. He tries to make a sound, even a peep, but he can’t. He is stuck with grief. After about thirty-four seconds, Bibi finds his voice. He yells, “Dad! What do you think you’re doing?!” “Why, I’m sabotaging your precious little paint factory of course,” his dad replied slyly.</div><div>Bibi is too stunned to speak. When he does speak, he says: “But why?”&nbsp;</div><div>“Because, you need to see that not everything in life is perfect.” Bibi started to shake with anger. “Your doing this because you think my life is perfect?! You need a serious reality check if you think that my life is anywhere near perfect! How on Earth could my life be perfect when you’re in it?!” Bibi shouts. His dad looked slightly ashamed of himself. Then he remembered that he was trying to sabotage his son so he says, “Nice word play, too bad it does you absolutely no good.” As Bibi furiously opens his mouth to reply back to his far-from-perfect father, his two friends Happy and Jaxon come tearing through the wide open door. Happy’s teeth change from yellow because she was happy (just realized what I did, I know that it’s a terrible pun, just bear with me. Happy was abandoned by here mom and dad when she was four months old. She and Bibi met at school on the first day of kindergarten and started the paint shop in fourth grade. This is the paint store where she got her powers), to being the darkest shade of red because she just realized what is happening. Jaxon’s fur is doing the same thing (except his started out as blue because his twin sister/best friend passed away a few weeks ago. I know, sad times, sad times. He was left in the jungle with his sister at one week old. His sister was the only family he had left. Then she passed away… so Jax’s only family are his two best friends, which happen to be in the paint store where they first met). Jax stops next to Bibi, he is also shaking with anger, while Happy was barreling towards Bibi’s dad at top speed. She slams into Bibi’s dad with all of her 1567 pounds. The whole place starts crumbling with dust as Bibi’s dad’s head hits the ground with a terrible <em>crack!</em>&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>	The three friends give each the look that each of them had mastered after being in sort of similar situations: the save-the-building-worry-about-other-people-later look. Then, they immediately start rushing around saving the shop. When the shop was stable, they slowly went over to Bibi’s dad. He seemed okay at the time, but when they turned him around, their stomachs turned with nausea. The edge of a nail had just managed to hit Bibi’s dad’s head and it was gushing blood like a hose squirts out water. Fortunately for Bibi’s dad, Jaxon always carried a mini first aid kit in his fur ever since the tragic accident with his sister. They cleaned off his furry head and put four bandages on it. They then sat him upright and waited for what felt like hours for the evil old bunny to gain consciousness.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>“Where in the name of bunnies everywhere am I?!” shrieked Mr. Evil Bunny Traitor(okay, yes I know that’s not his real name but I’ve got to have some humor in this don’t I?). As Bibi opens his mouth to speak, they all turn towards the paint which is starting to gurgle. The three friends watch horror struck as the millions of full paint cans start exploding simultaneously. Mr. Evil Bunny Traitor however looked like he had just won the million dollar lottery. He starts to get up in a motion of triumph and then falls on his butt because his head weighs more than he does. All of a sudden, the whole paint shop erupts in one huge multicolored glob of paint that then creates the most beautiful thing of all time: the sunset(the sunrise had also been created in the same was in Bibi’s other paint factory; another long story). Bibi and his friends and his dad go flying in the air on a huge wave of paint. They crash into a barn some four miles away from the exploded paint factory. As though they had practiced saying this one hundred times(which they have, this was not their first rodeo) Bibi, Happy, and Jaxon all said as one, “ Not again!”. They all looked at each other and started to crack up despite the fact that their paint factory was blown to smithereens. They were all so exhausted that they all fell asleep midlaugh and dreamed about exploding paint.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>When they woke up, they were all in a hospital except for Mr. Evil Bunny Traitor who had gone to a special hospital right in prison where he belonged. Pappy’s Paint and Stuff was being rebuilt as a service project for all of those who had wanted to get paint for $2.99 a can. Right at the happiest moment in this whole flashback, Bibi was jerked back to reality. His friends’ voices were hoarse from screaming his name so many times. As Bibi told them that he had had a flashback of the night in the paint factory, they all stared at the sunset that they had created just a short week ago, all three of them took turns sharing stories of all of their happiest adventures.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>The next day, the three of them went into the newly finished replica of Pappy’s Paint and Stuff. What happened next was a blur to all three of them. They had made fourteen million dollars that week and sales continued to rocket sky high. So I’m going to take a wild guess and say that things went alright for the three of them after that. And if Bibi learned anything from that experience, it’s to not be too trusting. He also learned that if you have a gut feeling, follow your gut because it’s usually right. Bibi’s gut told him that something was going to go wrong, and eventually followed it all the way to his own paint factory. Bibi’s mind started to drift toward the insane possibility that this might not be their last adventure…&nbsp;</div><div><br>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>
