How Sand Was Made

This is a made up myth, so I don’t know what culture it would be in, but this starts with the goddess of water, Aguac, and the god of land, Tierres.

There were rocks on the shores, rocks in the water, and rocks which form islands. Aguac wasn’t really happy that Tierres was putting his land in her ocean. They had an enormous argument.

“Rocks should be there so people who swim can actually stand on it!” said Tierres.

“Yeah, but your turf is in my area! It’s an ocean! Not a landcean!” argued Aguac.

This went on for days and days. The humans near the coast had the worst of luck. Then one day, a brave girl had enough of the bickering. Her name was Layla.

“Stop fighting. Just ground the rocks into smaller rocks but they are much easier to carry and people can still call it an ocean and people can actually walk on things. Seriously, it’s that simple!” said Layla.

They both agreed to her idea, so Tierres cracked most rocks of the world to create sand for the ocean. Aguac let Tierres have islands in her ocean and they were friends again. For now.
