1. The Beginning and the Rose By: Spencer Kane

2. Expostion Before the earth was created and there were living things there was nothing. The world was but a dreary hole. After many years a young maiden fell out of the caliginous ball of shadows. She went by the name of Vitalachrya. She closed her eyes and cried tears of loneliness. She had no one and nothing.

3. Rising Action She finally realized after a long time that nothing would become of her tears. Vitalachrya opened her eyes. She saw life, essences, and felt air to breathe. She had gained a soul. Vitalachrya felt reborn. With her tears thing were able to grow. She was renewed and happy, and as the last tear rolled down her soft-spoken face something magnificent arose before her. She thought it was the most beautiful thing she has ever seen. Alas, it was a tender rose. Vitalachrya would go see the rose everyday. She watered it with the oceans and lakes and rivers she had created with her tears. She nurtured it as a mother would her child. The rose was the only thing that made her happy. One day, Vitalachrya came to see the rose. The rose was withering. She tried her hardest to keep her rose alive.

4. Rising Action Eventually, the rose ceased to live. Right as Vitalachrya was going to cry something arose from the wilted rose. It was a man a god to be exact. The moment Vitalachrya saw him she fell in love. His name was Pacsophus. Vitalachrya showed him the beauty of the world. Pacsophus and Vitalachrya married in a meadow bursting with life. They had four children. The first was a son named Hummundus. He was the god of earth. The second was another son named Myomar. He was the god of the sea. Lastly, Vitalachrya and Pacsophus had two twin girls. Their names were Stella and Helia. Stella is the goddess of the night and stars. Helia is the goddess of the sun and day.

5. Climax Everything was peaceful until Myomar and Hummundus were old enough to rule. Myomar believed he should be the ruler. “I am the most intelligent; therefore I should be ruler of the gods and goddesses.” However, Hummundus felt he should rule. “I am the strongest; hense I should rule the gods and goddesses.”

6. Climax Vitalachrya arranged a contest based on intelligence and strength to see who would be eligible to rule. She said “For the strength portion you will both have to climb to the top of the 3000 foot Vitality Tree. For the intelligence portion you must go to the desert, woods, artic, and sea. You will visit each one for a week. You must learn how to survive on your own with harsh conditions.” Myomar and Hummundus were up for the ghastly challenge and off they went.

7. Falling Action (After the competition,) The brothers returned to the castle in the meadow where Pacsophus and Vitalachrya determined the winner. (Hummundus and Myomar didn‘t know who gained points every round.) Since they had been monitoring they knew the points. Myomar had three points and Hummundus has two points. Vitalachrya declared, “Myomar is the new king of the gods!” However, Myomar had is own thing to say, “I know I am the new king of the gods; however, I could really use Hummundus‘s help. He wouldn‘t have lost the strength competition if it wasn‘t for bad luck. So, I would like Hummundus to help me rule.”

8. Resolution Everyone was very surprised by this gesture and allowed Myomar to get Hummundus’s help ruling. Stella and Helia were happy to hear that both of there favorites were ruling. Stella and Helia both told the brother they loved how they had helped and confessed there love. The two couples became married and started a new generation of gods.

9. The End!
