The Battle “Creation Myth/Orgin Story” <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%;">Once there was a mighty king named Hogen. He was the greatest of all the men and animals that existed. He didn’t use intelligence to overcomehis eneimies in battle, instead he used the deadly weapons that only he possessed since he was king. These weapons helped him defeat the animals and men that attempted to battle against him. There was a cave in the center of the country called Collin Cave. This cave was the greatest landmark in all of the land, and every man and animal wished to own the cave. This is why there was always conflict between Hogen and the citizens, because everyone wanted to own the cave so they tried to eliminate the ruler. Hogen’s weapons and experience would not allow him to be defeated. He was the only man in all generations that ever existed to defeat every man or animal that challenged him. After winning all these battles, the people and the animals just gave up and no longer desired to battle him. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">As the word spread that Hogen was undefeatable, a mountain lion named Shoshimi heard of this and wanted to challenge Hogen himself. So he decided to travel to meet Hogen, once he arrived he challenged him to a fight. Hogen just scoffed at the mountain lion and said, “You are very foolish to think you can defeat me. I have the deadliest weapons and all you have are claws and teeth.” Of course word spread to everyone in the country and they all wanted to come watch Hogen possibly be defeated. The day was now finally here, Hogen and Shoshimi finally went into battle. It was one of the longest battles Hogen had ever experienced with any man or animal. Because usually Hogen quickly defeats his opponents, but not this time. Hogen might have had deadly weapons, but Shoshimi was everything that Hogen was not. He was brave, very clever, and patient. Somehow Shoshimi always knew what Hogen’s next move would be. As Hogen tried to strike his poisonous sword, Shoshimi dodged it. When Hogen realized that his normal tactics weren’t working, he then decided to use a weapon that he had never used in battle before. He had been given a bow that shoots out fire from his dad, who had been killed in battle when Hogen was just a boy. Hogen aimed the bow directly at Shoshimi and then fired it. Just when Hogen thought he had defeated the beast, Shoshimi jumped over the flames and landed on Hogen. Striking his ferocious teeth at Hogen, Shoshimi wont the battle. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px; line-height: 200%; text-indent: 0.5in;">Now that the battle was over, Shoshimi wanted his legacy to continue forever. So in order to show everyone even future generations that the all mighty Shoshimi won the battle between the so called “superior” Hogen, he carved his name into the wall of Collin Cave. Now to this day everybody over the land knows about the battle and how this land got the name Shoshimi.
