Very original. A creation story of the aurora borealis. It does remind me of some of the stories from indigenous people.

This definitely has the feeling of an Indigenous Peoples’ myth. The names aren’t too immediately representative, but make everything perfectly clear with a small amount of thought. I must admit, I was expecting the gift to be stars initially, though it would make no sense with the title now that I look back upon it.

@ James: I was actually going for the creation of why the sky changes color in the mornings and evenings … I’m not sure if aurora borealis happens twice a day?

@ Reginald: I actually have a far longer version of this story tucked away somewhere, so I’m glad clarity came through with the “small amount of thought.” Stars would be an interesting variation, what with the glinting from her jewelry.

This story has a nice way with words. I like the names and the style.

I’m not huge on the whole creation myth thing… but this is just beautifully writen.

Utterly beautiful. Fits the brief perfectly.
