This one was a project on how people would worship the gods we created from our "Create a Creation" project. I didn't finish it...and I probably won't because I hate how it is turning out.

The drums could be heard throughout the land of Asturia, no corner going unnoticed. Their beat was a channel of demands and summons with urgency wrapped about, making them impossible to ignore. Their sound flowed like The Great River-and they were loud. Very loud in fact, so loud, that they succeeded in waking up thirteen year old Ashitaka-which was not such an easy task.
He ran out of the house still half asleep, groggy, and hungry, and made his way to Asturia’s village center. Ducking and weaving between people, he came to the center to find a not-so-familiar wooden stage right in the center of town. He looked around, searching for someone familiar. Finally, he saw the busy sand colored hair he was looking for. He ran up and poked the figure’s back.
“What’s going on father?”
Ashitaka’s father turned around, and his peaceful blue eyes fell upon the boy. He smiled and laughed causing his mustache to bristle about.
“Ashitaka, I’m surprised you woke up. I should get some of those drums for the house. Then maybe the cattle will be taken care of at the proper time.”
Red drifted to Ashitaka’s face and he hastefully re-uttered the original question.
“Ashitaka, now you are thirteen years old. You are a man. And it is time for you to learn things you never knew before.”
His father made a gesture for his son to follow him, and went into an empty house. He sat down at a table and Ashitaka to the opposite seat.
“My son, it is time you learn about ‘creation’ and how we came to be. We Asturian’s all came to be in this land all thanks to the god Syrath. He created us, and gave us this wonderful place to live. The other Great Gods: Reh goddess the Elements, Chid god of choice and emotions, Sunta god of death and tamer of the animals along with Syrath creator of humans and gods alike are who we pray and give thanks to. They give us nature and everything else and we the people of Asturia as a whole return our thanks by having a festival."
