Brennan's+Myth

**by Brennan**
When all land was attached, the Fire Nation ruled all the land under the Earth. The Earth was shared with everyone except the Fire Nation. The Fire Nation was told that they could not come to the surface of Earth because they would destroy all the living creatures. The Fire Nation’s leader, Fireful, ordered his troops to dig trenches all over the Earth’s surface.

After several years of digging, the Fire Nation's army had massive trenches all over the Earth’s surface. The Earth didn’t have enough water to defend themselves from the Fire Nation’s army. Luckily for Earth, an ice age was happening. The Fire Nation’s army melted all the ice on Earth. The trenches flooded with water. All of the Fire Nation’s army was killed. Now the flooded trenches are the oceans. The animals that used to live on the land adapted to the water. The fish now have gills. This is why there are now continents.
