Choros' origin story I originally had to write for English back in the 8th grade. Might not be very good, but I decided it was worth saving here.

Many centuries ago, not long after the creation of the gods, Choros ruled the sky above the Earth. While looking down on Earth's mountains, he spotted a beautiful mortal woman who's face was covered with freckles. Instantly, Choros fell in love, and he ventured down to earth to meet her.

From her cabin's window, Evangeline saw Choros land in the field outside and wondered who he was. She made eye contact with him, and Choros' love was returned. Evangeline left her house and came to Choros' side. Once together, they introduced themselves and talked the entire night. Their conversation was filled with topics like the moon, the sky, owls, and anything else that came to mind.

Every night for three years, the two lovers met and talked. Eventually, they chose to get married, and they had a child who they named Planitis.

One day, Evangeline went to visit her family on earth. However, while she was there, an earthquake shook the ground and caused the building she was in to collapse. Choros searched the ruins for her, but he never found Evangeline. Sorrowfully, he wondered if he would ever see her beautiful face again. To share her beauty with the world, Choros filled the sky with stars to represent Evangeline's countless freckles. Now, he mainly stays in his palace with his daughter, watching over the humans below.

Author's Notes

Please keep in mind that I wrote this nearly two years ago. I changed a few lines that I found to be odd, but it still may not represent my current skills as a writer. Still, I hope you enjoyed it.
