Living elements.

Two Gods were talking about an idea they have of making a new world. They decided to create Earth and four elements: earth, water, fire and air. Each element will have a God that represents it, a territory designed for it and different animals adapted to it. A lion will represent Earth, a whale the water, an eagle the air, and a dragon the fire.  The four Gods of the elements got together and made a peace pact.

 -We need to be in peace because we are going to be living in the same Earth-, the lion said.

-We need to establish some rules, make some laws for the good of our animals- the eagle said.

The four of them agreed and made laws. Since they were the Gods of the element they were the ones that were fighting for the good of the other animals.

One day the dragon and all the animals of fire decided to throw fire around the Earth. This caused a lot of damage in the territory of the others. It also killed some animals from different elements. The other three Gods were really angry with the dragon.

-The dragon is causing a lot of problems in here- said the Lion

-He is not respecting our laws- said the angry whale

-We need to tell the two Gods- said the Eagle

-We surely do- said the Lion

The three element’s Gods got together with the two creative Gods. They told the Gods about the dragon’s event that caused conflict between them. They were planning on making him pay because of what he had done.

-We can’t live with him, he attacked us- the whale said in a furious way.

-He thinks he is better than us because he can spit fire out- said the eagle in an aggressive way.

-There’s got to be a punishment for the whole fire element- said the lion in a serious way.

The two Gods were trying to get a solution for the problem. The fire element wasn’t accomplishing the expectancy of the Gods of the peaceful world. After days of thinking on how to make them change their attitude towards the other elements they decided to create a new world just for them. A world designed to their element, where they can be by themselves without hurting any other animal. This will be a new planet, the red planet because of the fire color. A planet named Mars.

The Gods didn’t want to completely separate the elements because they were supposed to be together at first. So they came with a great idea. At night Mars will be seen in Earth and they will be “close” to Earth. With this change the world is in peace and the four elements are in complete peace.
