Xirysa Says: So. We'll start where stories normally start: at the beginning. Also, I apologize for lameness—I haven't really written anything in a while, so I just wrote down something to get me back into it. Ergo, very short and very, very lame 'fic.
The Minstrel's Lost Tales
The First Tale: From the Dark
In the beginning, there was only darkness. It was vast, empty, unmoving, unyielding; there was no life, no there was no death.
Just darkness.
From this darkness, the Great Spirit thought itself into existence.
In the never ending darkness, the Great Spirit stood alone. And then, It willed.
Mother Earth and Father Sky were born, then. Knowing that they owed their existence to the Great Spirit, Earth and Sky prayed to It and were blessed.
My children, the Great Spirit said in a voice that was neither masculine nor feminine, neither young nor old, go forth into this darkness and create a world that you and your children may live in.
Mother Earth created the land, then, and Father Sky created the air and clouds. From their saliva, water was made.
When this task was completed, Mother Earth and Father Sky went out into the world together and had children of their own: Moon and Sun, Rain and Wind.
And with the help of their children and the blessings of the Great Spirit, Sky and Earth made all the living things of the world—the plants, birds, animals and people.
Today we roam the world, with the blessings of Mother Earth and Father Sky and the Great Spirit who is the ultimate creator of all.

Xirysa Says: And creationism 'fic is done. Yes. I based a lot of this off of an Egyptian creation myth, but… Obviously, I changed a lot of it. (Just, credit where it's due, you know?) So yes. Like I said, this was just something to get me back into the writing mood. ALSO. I would love to hear what you guys would like to see in future chapters. Suggestions, feedback, opinions… The whole lot is welcome!
