=The Five Followers and The Earth =  In this planet Earth, there are humans, animals, plants, and air, fire, soil, sun, and water. Everything in Earth was created to live under the harmony they formed, cooperating with each other, and being accustomed to self-sacrifice. This promise has been started to break, causing one’s to become greedy and egocentric. A similar incident from the past has resulted severe consequences. The story of five followers is an important myth that will prevent such disaster to reoccur.

Before any of the living creatures set foot on earth, before the actual Earth formed, God sent five of his loyal followers to Earth to bring life on Earth. The five selected followers were Air, Fire, Soil, Sun, and Water, and they all headed down to Earth. At first, all five had a unified idea about the living creatures they are going to make and decided to divide certain amount of creatures to the towns each follower represented. When starting to make living creatures on earth, the five followers realized that they needed a leader that will be in charge of the due dates of the productions. There were two candidates for the leader’s position: Water and Fire. By votes, Water was elected as the leader, which lead to Fire’s envy and antagonism. Fire and his only voter, Sun, allied against Water and her crew, deepening the crisis between Water and Fire. One day, the two groups met with each other and fought for days, neglecting their duties and destroying the planet. When God finally found out about this fight, he stripped them of their abilities to talk or move, and he himself created life on Earth. He then punished the five by forcing them to live on Earth, unable to communicate or control the lives in Earth.

The greed the five followers had resulted the end of the world they dreamt of and lost their abilities to communicate and move. The excessive greed and envy will bring disaster to the world; therefore controlling one’s feelings is crucial to the continuance of Earth.
