Creation Myth

How the rivers were Created

One day, long, long ago, before humans came to earth,
before time itself was invented, The ancient gods of the sea,
The water horses decided they needed some sort of source of water for the seas, which were drying up. So the water horses held a meeting. They would ask the ancient earth gods, the magical
horses with flowing manes and tails, to help them make channels through the earth to control water flow and fuel the sea.

The earth horses and the water horses met on the coasts of the islands, planning where to make their
channels. Once everyone was in place, the earth horses reared up a stamped their hooves into the ground,
creating huge cracks in the ground from the mountains to the coastlines, then, more earth horses galloped
down the trail of the cracks, creating big winding chasms through the land. Once that was done,
the water horses galloped through the chasms, creating an endless stream of water behind them.
Then they called on the air horses to direct the water flow in a certain direction, and the flame horses to
connect the rivers to the volcanic cycle.

So, rivers aren’t as straightforward as you think...
