A long time ago, before the sun shined or the moon rose, before the stars twinkled and the birds called, there was a storm.

This storm was the biggest ever seen, huge black clouds gathered in the sky burning with hot thunder and angry lightning. It twisted and turned, leaving a mangled landscape in its wake.

No matter where the storm hit, no matter whom it devastated, the storm never calmed. It became a restless burden on the earth, destroying her beautiful creatures and creations.

Soon the earth called upon the Ocean and the Sky, begging them for help. She asked them to destroy the storm to stop its endless rampage.

So the Sky summoned his strongest winds, while the Ocean gathered her most powerful waves to pursue the storm. Working together, they destroyed it.

The Skies winds smashed into the storms clouds, shattering them like glass and sending the glowing pieces in every direction. These pieces were soon to be called the stars.

The Oceans waves crashed over the storms body, casting its fiery lightning out into a ball. This massive round fire was soon to be called the sun.

When the fight had ceased and the sky and ocean had calmed, all that was left was the storms watery soul. The earth plucked the soul from the ground, holding it at her side.

She kept the soul with her in a beautiful gleaming pellet, forever encircling her body, guarding her in the night. This beautiful gem was soon to be called Moon.
So this is just a story I wrote about how the moon came to be. I like writing in this "legend" style where things aren't scientifically correct and sound like a magical story. Hope you enjoy it.

I love any "genesis" story written in a legend style. I really like yours, especially the last line!
