The Mariana Trench
By: GTS
Oceanus arrived at the Palace of Pearls
Oceanus boomed, “That’s my throne!”
Poseidon yelled back, “Is that a
challenge?”
Poseidon stood up swiftly and
pointed his trident at Oceanus. Oceanus drew his huge serpent that had spikes
down its spine. The serpent stood straight out like a sword. They began yelling
at each other.
“This is my throne!” Yelled
Poseidon, “YOU GAVE IT TO ME!”
Oceanus replied, “I want it back, I
need a bigger palace!”
Poseidon used his trident to stir
water and pointed it forward and released the water and hit Oceanus so hard
that it made him fly back into a wall. Oceanus stood and spun his serpent and
created a tornado and released it at Poseidon. He was flung back and hit the
throne.
Poseidon exclaimed, “We should do
this outside so we don’t ruin the palace!” Oceanus agreed.
Once outside, the two gods hurled
tidal waves and bone-shattering earthquakes directed at each other. They did
this for a year. Eventually, they created a giant crack on the ocean floor.
Suddenly, a colossal octopus emerged from the crack! The octopus grabbed
Oceanus and Poseidon and began smashing them into the ground over and over.
THUNK, THUNK, THUNK!!
Poseidon stifled out a yelled, “We
should put our differences behind us!” –THUNK, THUNK, THUNK! “Let’s defeat this
colossal beast together!”
Oceanus replied, “O—“ THUNK, THUNK,
“—K!”
Poseidon stabbed his trident into
the tentacle that imprisoned him and black blood gushed out of the octopus’s
arm and it let go of Poseidon.
Poseidon shouted at Oceanus, “USE
YOUR SERPENT SWORD TO CUT THE MONSTER’S TENTACLE!”
Oceanus did so and was freed.
Oceanus and Poseidon swam quickly towards the beast. They both stabbed and hit
the octopus several times in the face and eyes. Finally, the octopus died.
Poseidon said, “Now that this
colossal octopus is dead, we should do something about you wanting my palace
back that is mine.”
Oceanus replied, “I have an idea!
We should build another palace together!”
Poseidon agreed and they went to
work. The gods used their powers to build the second palace. First, they made
the main hall and then the garden. After that, they created four towers. They
added giant, luxurious beds to the bedrooms. The palace was decorated with gold
and pearls.
After the palace was complete, they
sat down and agreed on a peace treaty. But to this day, the giant crack in the
sea is still there. And it is known as the Mariana Trench.
Grand
Canyon:
How
it was formed
By: DS
Many millennia ago,
when Zeus was king (not that he isn’t still, but at the earlier bit of his
reign)while Athena was still there though not too early, a large battle was
fought on what is now the U.S.A, against the oddest creatures ever known to
man.(and god.)But let us start at the beginning. How the war was started, Gaia,
the earth god made a prophecy that a child of Zeus’s would overthrow him, being
the new king/queen.
Well
this prophecy was wrong, Athena was born from his forehead, springing out fully
clothed, an adult pretty much. But being born from inside Zeus changed Athena,
so instead of overthrowing him, Athena fought by his side. Gaia was furious.
She sent the giants to destroy Olympus, only to add an impenetrable hide to
Athena’s Pallas. Gaia, now enraged, destroyed the base of the mountain, falling
in the U.S.A.. There Gaia created the Nyrads.
The
Nyrads were like stone, but quite fast for stone. They had beady black eyes,
which were full of hatred. They had four arms, all very strong, each able to
lift a truck full of lead. But the Olympians fought bravely, scarring Gaia with
deep canyons and ravines, the Nyrads had caused her more harm than good, not
one could survive the Olympians, Athena and Zeus being the bravest because
together they are practically unstoppable. The mountain was somehow fixed, and
normal living resumed.
But Gaia would not give
up. Reviving the Nyrads was difficult, but she managed. The Nyrads attempted to
invade mount Olympus, but to no success. The Nyrads were defeated. Gaia made
huge spiders, after again knocking down the mountain.
This time the Olympians
were at a stalling point, but they managed to defeat the giant spiders, which
were called Thorians. Gaia finally couldn’t do anything about the Olympians so she
fell into a deep slumber. Centuries later, Gaia woke up fully refreshed.
Gaia
knew she couldn’t defeat the Olympians, or at least she thought, but the Nyrads
knew what to do. They asked Gaia to make more, so they could extinguish the
flame. Gaia did what they asked, afraid of what they would do to her. Thing is,
it didn’t work. The Nyrads wouldn’t work against the Olympians. They were just
too strong. Somehow, the Olympians would not fall. Battle after battle after
battle, the Olympians would remain the victor.
Why
Stars Explode
By: WC
Hades hated the light. He didn’t like
anything that was good or light. He wanted to destroy all of it, but he could
not overthrow Jupiter. He thought of a way to destroy the light and Jupiter, he
would sneak in and put out the flame of Olympus! He could knock out a guard and
put on the Olympian clothes, walk up to the tower, and put out the flame. So he
went to tell Persephone about his plan. When Persephone came back for spring
and summer, she told her mother about Hades. When Persephone went back, her
mother told Jupiter what Persephone said.
Jupiter foiled Hades’s plan to destroy all
light and put him in jail, and put a spell on him so he could not destroy
light. But Hades didn’t stop there. He threw insults so bad to the guards that
they went complaining to Jupiter. With the guards gone, he easily escaped the
prison.
Hades could not destroy light anymore so he
went on thinking about how to destroy light again. He finally figured out how
to destroy light. He exploded stars! He flew past Olympus and out into space.
Luckily some guards saw him and came after him. The guards chased him as he
blew up the stars around him. Every time he blew up a star, the guards put one
back. So every time a star is destroyed, another one gets born somewhere in the
galaxy.
How Islands Were Made
By: MP
Before
islands were made the sea was wide and empty. If people sailed on it they would
keep sailing and sailing for many weeks until they found land but then they
would realize that it was not an island but the next continent. So they would
sail back the way they had come.
This
went on for many years until one day a woman fell off of a ship. She yelled at
the people on the ship but they did not hear her because they were preparing
for a storm that was coming very soon. The woman tried to climb up the ship but
it was too wet and slippery. She knew how to swim pretty well so she tried to
swim next to the ship but the ship was very fast so it kept moving farther and
farther away until she couldn’t see it anymore.
The
woman kept swimming for the rest of the day but grew more and more tired. By
night time she could no longer keep swimming. She was too tired. So she decided
to float on her back. It was comfortable so she fell asleep.
A
couple hours later she woke up. Miraculously she had survived! Then she
realized that the storm was very close now. She had to get to safety. But there
was no safety. She was in the middle of a wide ocean with all the land miles
away. She would have to just keep swimming and hope for the best.
Unfortunately
the best didn’t come. The storm got closer and closer and the waves got wilder.
Thunder boomed and rain started falling. Lightning flashed. The storm got worse
and worse. The woman could not keep swimming. She began to drown. She needed to
get somewhere she could rest. But there was nowhere,
anywhere close. She prayed. Suddenly the earth began to quake. There was a big
rumbling sound and an island popped up. I mean literally popped up. You could
hear the pop! The woman collapsed
on the island. “Thank you Gaia!” she cried. She knew that Gaia had made the
island because well it makes sense doesn’t it? I mean Gaia is like the goddess
of the earth so it would make sense that she would make land in the middle of
the ocean. Anyway since the woman was feeling very thankful at the moment she
thanked all the other gods as well. “Thank you!” Then she fell asleep.
When
she woke up she was on a beautiful island. She decided to explore it. It was
very pretty but she decided that she wanted to go home. But then she realized
that she couldn’t go home because there was water all around her and she didn’t
have a boat or anything. She began to get very sad because she missed her
family. The god Poseidon pitied her. He parted the water to make a path for the
woman. The woman quickly thanked him and started her journey.
It
was a very long and tiring journey but not as tiring as swimming. When she got
back to her house she found her family inside waiting happily for her.
That
night she had a dream where she was talking to Gaia. But it wasn’t exactly a
dream because it didn’t feel like one. Anyway Gaia asked the woman “Why did you
leave my island? I created it especially for you.” The woman replied “It was a
very nice island but I was missing my family.” Gaia said “But I wanted to help
you.” The woman said “If you make more islands it would help. People are dying
to discover them.” “Okay I will do that.” said Gaia. And she did.
