[div style="margin: auto; max-width: 600px; text-align: justify; color: #646160; padding: 8px; font-family: courier;"] The tigress smiled, her whiskers fraying. "Oh your all so sweet!" she chimed. "I didn't think you all would listen-" a soft chuckle fell from her pink lips. "But im glad you all are.""Long ago, near the beginning of the world, Gray Eagle was the guardian of the Sun, Moon and Stars, of fresh water, and of fire. Gray Eagle hated other creatures so much that he kept these things hidden. The creatures that didnt guard or create anything lived in darkness, without fire and without fresh water." she purred. Setting a paw to her chin, Eulogy snickered. "Pretty narcissistic of him, huh."
Rotating her paw beside her chin, snickering. "Anyway, Gray Eagle had a beautiful daughter, and Raven fell in love with her. In the beginning, Raven was a snow-white bird, and as such, he pleased Gray Eagle's daughter. She invited him to her father's home.
When Raven saw the Sun, Moon and stars, and fresh water hanging on the sides of Eagle's home, he knew what he should do. He watched for his chance to seize them when no one was looking. He stole all of them, and a brand of fire also, and flew out of the house through the smoke hole. As soon as Raven got outside he hung the Sun up in the sky. It made so much light that he was able to fly far out to an island in the middle of the ocean. When the Sun set, he fastened the Moon up in the sky and hung the stars around in different places. By this new light he kept on flying, carrying with him the fresh water and the brand of fire he had stolen. Quite a hero, isnt he!" she chimed. "Though it was for a good cause, i dont think Raven should have done it how he did."
"He flew back over the land. When he had reached the right place, he dropped all the water he had stolen. It fell to the ground and there became the source of all the fresh-water streams and lakes in the world. Then Raven flew on, holding the brand of fire in his bill. The smoke from the fire blew back over his white feathers and made them black. When his bill began to burn, he had to drop the firebrand. It struck rocks and hid itself within them. That is why, if you strike two stones together, sparks of fire will drop out. Raven's feathers never became white again after they were blackened by the smoke from the firebrand, his song once beautiful now grew hoarse by the smoke. That is why Raven is now a black bird and his song is croaky." Eulogy smiled, looking around at Octane, Leroy, Ivan, and Keter. "If your going to do something heroic, dont act big and bad and steal things." she snickered. "And dont pick up fire!"
