Too bad Juliano and Hindle didn't feel like giving us important stories. Because I would so post them. Anyway, number three. This was for Halajian, my English teacher. She wanted us to write a myth. Kasha and Loor were born.
Still looking for the essay.....
__________________________
Kasha and Loor were a pair of brother and sister who like most tended to despise each other one moment then get along great the next. Being born and raised as wolves, once the two were mad at each other, no mercy was shown. This particular moment was reaching the point where the two were extremely tempted to leap at each other in full attack.
Loor, being the oldest out of the two, had been taunting Kasha. Loor claimed there was no doubt in his mind he much stronger then his younger sister, Kasha. As most wolves, whatever the age, Kasha didn't believe his cruel banter. Just like her brother, she too believed herself to be much stronger then him.
“Don’t kid yourself, Kasha. You’re a girl. Every wolf knows boys are stronger” Loor shot back angrily once his sister had told him of her thoughts. Kasha had been taught to stand up for herself against any boy especially when they believed themselves more worthy then her. She crouched low on her four legs and bared her teeth at her brother.
Taken aback, Loor was tackled onto the dead grass of the open field. His fall would've been much softer, had it been any time of year but winter. His luck had obviously run out. Loor quickly regained his composure, not letting his sister’s actions defeat him. They rolled around on the ground for minutes, their fight becoming more and more intense.
Hoping that soon enough Kasha would pull away panting, Loor tore through the skin on her stomach in hopes to get her off him. Indeed, Loor’s plan seemed to be working. Kasha stepped back, wondering what had happened to her. Loor took her moment of confusion as a sign to get away from her. But like her brother, Kasha too recovered from her moment of shock. She growled low, baring her teeth even more.
Loor could feel the circle of trees inclosing him with his mad sister. He slowly attempted to back away from her line of vision but she was much faster then he. A bubble of fear continuously formed in his stomach and it was about to burst when Kasha leaped onto him. A high-pitched whimper was let out along with a piercing silence.
Kasha slowly stepped back, staring in horror at the limp figure of her brother. She tasted the bitter of his blood on her fangs and panicked. Glancing around, hoping to be alone, Kasha ran. Ran from the web of trouble she had weaved.

"Move! We've got a week until this race and there is no way any of you are going to when unless you practice!" yelled a large black bear, standing on two legs. The bear led four younger brown bears into an empty field surrounded with trees. Every other part of the forest had green, bushy grass growing but it seemed spring had yet to work it's magic on this patch of grass. The four bears positioned themselves near the edge of the clear area and waited until their trainer told them to start.
The black bear did some arm flapping and made some hand gestures, which must've meant something along the lines of 'go'. All four brown bears started to run around in a circle, running faster and faster.
The point of stationing the race against bears of different regions was not only to get them in shape after months of hibernation but also to bring them together. The fact that spring was a much cooler month with gorgeous weather may have played a part in the decisions. But picking this lot was a very bad choice the black bear made. The area here still consisted of the dead grass winter made.
The runner's feet pounding on the hard, dirt surface caused a cloud of murky dust to rise. Coughing and sputtering, not from the energy put in running but from the dust, the runners wished to get out of the dust storm.
"This is no place to stay! Come, there's got to be something this way" The big black bear yelled, waving the four towards a section of the woods. Once the feet on the floor stopped, the dust started to fade.
In the clearing was a creature with thin hair on its body and a large amount on the top of its head. The creature was on all fours, it's legs bending and it's paws facing down. As it steadily stood up on two legs, the creature studied his paws. A larger paw then was known through out the animal kingdom and it had five long claws not attached to one another. The creature looked down at its legs and feet. Once again, long claws.
The creature was amazed by what it was. But a smell distracted it. 'Meat,' the creature thought. A large grin spread across its face revealing only two fangs. Something not known to animals all over the world. It bounced on the heels of its feet and stepped off into the forest.
Not only were there animals roaming the Earth, a creature rising from the faded dust, soon to be known as a human now walked among the creatures. Another link on the food chain had been added.
