AUTHOR'S NOTES
I said I would write lore, and I will write lore. :D
This is the rewrite of the myth that Sarah told Thomas on chapter eight, Halfhearted Building. It is essentially written from a third person perspective, and everything stated here is the 'true' story.
On with the myth!

When the world was very new, and time had not yet begun, the sun shone without purpose. The sands of life had no-one to give them shape, and thus the world remained motionless.
On day, the sun decided to caress the earth with it's light, and in the process it scorched an area, soon to become the nether. The heat provided created the first spirit, one without name or voice, with eyes the color of pure gold.
The sun tasked this spirit with the creation of others, so that they may help shape the earth. The spirit created the six original light spirits in response.
The sun, thankful for the golden-eyes spirit's help, granted him immortality, in a way that would still allow him to grow and mature. 'Whenever you die', stated the sun, 'I will be there to help you back up, and you will spawn anew at the center of the world.'
The seven spirits worked under the loving and caring light of the sun, shaping the world. When the first spirit encountered the nether, he shaped four more spirits to protect it, the Blaze, the Ghast, the Magma Cube, and the Pigman. These, having been scorched from birth, rebelled their purpose, and destroyed everything in their path.
The seven spirits, worried for the world, banished the four nether spirits to the underground, deep into the world's core, as well as the scorched land which they walked. But the darkness within them had managed to escape their mortal bodies. It plagued the original six spirits. When the sun wasn't looking, the darkness enveloped the spirit's bodies, expelling the good within.
They built monsters with the soul sand, and these destroyed everything the seven spirits had built. The golden-eyed spirit shaped the six original leaders, so the shadow spirits could have mortal bodies once again.
They built everything that had been destroyed, as well as amazing structues scattered around the world
The evil spirits grew jealous, and sent their legion of monsters after the great leaders. The golden spirit created an army for each of the ancient leaders, so that these could defend themselves and their land.
The battle was ferocious, and many mobs were killed many the evil spirit's monsters. Even so, the great leaders and the golden spirit remained victorious, and the evil spirits were slain.
The darkness from the evil spirits was harnessed by a single monster, their last creation. It was a replica of the golden spirit, with soulless black eyes. This spirit was sent to hide, and kill the golden spirit when the time came.
In the meantime, this spirit spread it's darkness to all the monsters that still roamed the land.
The six original leaders perished. The remaining warriors of their great armies built statues for each one, and the golden spirit helped. Before he too perished, he declared that there would be night, but the light would always prevail.
He created the first ender dragon egg, and placed it under the endermen's care. The ancient endermen warped as far away as possible, building the end and it's citadel. The golden spirit stated his first and last words.
"My light will fade every time I respawn, my memory with it. One warrior from one clan at random will be tasked by the dragon to collect a sword and bring it to me, every lifetime I take, so I may defeat the darkness once more."
With these words, his body turned to ash, and he disappeared, lost in the wind.
This marked the beginning of time, and the reason behind the monsters hatred.
