Long ago, before wolves and lions walked the Earth, a large ocean covered the world. There was no land, the only life that survived was the creatures that swam. They swam their entire lives chasing fish and sleeping within the comfort of their own species. The creatures had scales, many, many scales. They had large fins as well. The fins were large and sail like so the creatures may jump out of the water and soar for a short period of time to catch bugs that strode on the water's surface.
One day, the sky grew dark and the water rippled as violent shakes overtook the Earth. A large pool of extremely hot water bubbled and boiled until a massive rock soared out of the water. Steam rose from the rock and hot red liquid poured from the top. The cool ocean breezes quickly cooled the lava which formed a large area around the rock. Sand sediments began to mix with ocean waters and the lava's natural minerals forming a thick brown dirt on the cooled lava. Seeds of water plants washed up onto the shores of this island and developed and evolved into plants and trees of all kinds, covering the area around the volcano. The large finned creatures crawled to the shores of the island and began to evolve over hundreds of years as well. They grew into lions and wolves covered in thick fur. Their large fins grew into small stubs on their backs and they learned to survive off the island.
Thousands of years passed and more volcanoes rose from the ocean forming more islands big and small. Volcanic eruptions became more frequent killing off the lions and wolves by the plenty. They managed to stay alive and through those thousands of years, the stubs on their backs grew into large feathered wings to carry them away from the dangers of the lava and smoke. Soon, a tragedy happened. A ripple moved through the Earth like an angry beast and passed under the chain of islands and volcanoes throwing them high up into the air. The ripple let off an immensly strong wave and stunned the creatures into not being able to fly. The creatures would all die as soon as the islands crashed into the ocean but oddly enough, they didn't. The islands stopped in mid-air. Some were upright, others upside down, and many more tilted onto their sides. They stay suspended in the air from that day until now. No one knows what saved the creatures of air that day, but one thing's for sure...they were saved to make a change, to carry on a legend.
