I was on this forum page by Xombie_Jesus, and I got the idea to write this. It is a basic ancient-myth type story that I wrote and want to share with you.
The Creation
In the beginning, there was nothing, a vast emptiness devoid of all life and matter called The Void. It was like this for a long time until, their was a flash of light, and a giant rectangle of glowing rocks, with a shimming, golden, liquid-like substance suspended inside the center. Out of this liquid stepped two brothers, and then the strange glowing portal disappeared. Without the bright light, the brothers found that this strange new place they were in had no light, so one of them, whose name was Notch, created the sun, a great square of fire, which he put in the highest part of this new world. His brother, not wanting to be outdone, made a giant square of rock, calling it "Moon", and put it in the other side of the sky. Soon the Brother of Notch became jealous of the brightness of the his brothers Sun, and made his own moon chase it through the sky. The Moon would eventually win, and the Sun go into hiding, but it would soon pounce again to chase the Moon, bringing day to the world again.
Soon the brothers grew tired of having to fly constantly, So Notch's brother created an endless plain of dirt for the two to rest on, and Notch created Adminium, for the dirt to rest on and to separate their new world from the void. He then created the first plant: grass, and it grew well on the dirt, soon covering the entire world.
Soon they grew weary of the vast flatness, so Notch created sprawling mountains, oceans, valleys, rivers and hills, and His Brother brought forth stone and made great chasms and gorges in the ground. Then, feeling that The world was still to empty, Notch added trees, and flowers, then the first animal: The cow. For a while he was content, but then created pigs and chickens to roam the land, and squids to fill the ocean.
But Notch's brother grew jealous of these creatures, and created his own: the wolf. It hunted and killed Notch's peaceful creations, but luckily, there were not many wolves, and many of Notch's creatures survived. Then Notch created the Sheep. But His Brother,still jealous, stole the brains of all sheep, and because of this, one walked into Him when he was standing at the edge of a pit filled with his newest creation: lava. He fell in the pit and died. But, being Divine, he could not die, and came back as a ghost, angry at the world and it's inhabitants, and above all, His brother Notch.
He fought a great battle with Notch, but could not win, for Notch had always been stronger than his brother. Notch then banished his brother to a new dimension, filled with his evil brother's evil creations of lava and netherrack, but then took some pity and added glowstone growing down from the ceiling, so that he may see.
But His brother wanted revenge he raised armies from the bodies of the pigs that had been killed by his wolves, and gave them swords of gold. He then stole the bodies and souls of Notches latest creations: a new civilization, the Testificates. He stored their souls in porous rock in the nether, and turned their bodies into walking abominations, known by the living testificates as Zombies and Skeletons. He occasionaly set these foul beings loose in the over-world, to bring more testificates to expand his army. While they terrorized the villagers, Notch's brother built a giant fortress in the Nether, and in it he created more and more creatures for his army, the most feared and hated of which being the Creepers, green monsters imbued with the explosive properties of a powder of the Brothers own creation.
And so Notch watched with great sadness as his brother tried to unmake all that he had made. Then he decided he must do something. He created a new creature, this one more intelligent than all others. It knew how to make tools and weapons, and to fight the armies of darkness. This new creature was called Steve. Steve had equal amounts of Notch's goodness and His brother's badness in him, and Notch let him choose which of them he followed. But that same day, Notch's Brother came out in full force, unleashing his armies on the over-world. He became known as Herobrine, the Testificates word for demon.
Herobrine roams the word 'till this very day, but so does Steve, and with him, Hope."
The original, just with grammar, spelling and aesthetic changes:
"In the beginning, there was just Notch and his brother, in an empty void. They grew tired of flying, and decided that their should be land. So Notch's Brother created a vast, flat expanse of dirt and grass. and Notch laid the adminium on which that dirt rested, seperating it from the void.
Soon they grew weary of the vast flatness, so notch created sprawling mountains, oceans, valleys, rivers and hills, and His Brother brought forth stone and made great chasms and gorges in the ground. Then, feeling that The world was still to empty, Notch added trees, and flowers, then the first animal: The cow. For a while he was content, but then created pigs and chickens to roam the land, and squids to fill the ocean.
But Notch's brother grew jealous of these creatures, and created his own: the wolf. It hunted and killed Notch's peaceful creations, but luckily, there were not many wolves, and many of Notch's creatures survived. Then Notch created the Sheep.

He fought a great battle with Notch, but could not win, for Notch had always been stronger than his brother. Notch then banished his brother to a new dimension, filled with his evil brother's evil creations of lava and netherrack, but then took some pity and added glowstone growing down from the ceiling, so that he may see.

Beta: original post on Xombie_Jesus topic
Please leave absolutely any feedback you wish, good or bad, or suggest any ideas for me to continue. If people want, I will stretch it from on basic creation myth, to something closer to the scale of the Iliad or the Odyssey.
Credit goes to Xombie_Jesus for, though indirectly, giving me the inspiration to write this.
The original post is on the second page of the thread linked above.
The_Z_Of_Death, glad you like the banner and putting it for show On the website (Tigersbanners.webs.com) there is a message for you, visit back anytime and by the way- NICE MYTHOLOGY!
That's a good piece of writing. May I ask your permission to put a link to it on the Story List? I would require a short description, I will do the rest.

Christianity in a nutshell: We have all sinned, so we deserve eternity in hell. But God (God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit) loved us so much he sent His Son to die for us, to take the punishment meant for us. All we need to do is accept it, and we have heaven headed our way.
Idea for explanation for mineshafts and strongholds: Created by the ancient testificates. Strongholds for research of the dimensions, and mineshafts for, well, mining. :3.

It hunted and killed Notch's peaceful creations, but luckily, there were not many wolves, and many of Notch's creatures survived. Then Notch created the Sheep.
