Terrain

It was barren at first. A big lump of hard rock that I could put in my sling-shot and catapult around any sun in the Galaxy that I want. But then, I had to choose which sun it will revolve around, since that is how planets are supposed to behave.

That is how they are 'supposed to' behave.

Instead, I chose a different path. If you can imagine a number of magnets arranged like a sphere and a small iron pellet in the center of this sphere. Floating.

That pellet was UnEarth and the magnets were a cluster of sun-like stars. 

The suns would pull on the planet from all directions and cancel out the forces. It was like a few kids, standing in a circle and pulling on a single toy from all directions. The toy, ultimately, went to nobody.

This lump of playful rock, with due consultation with other Gods and after an arduous a voting process, was named "UnEarth". Then began the designing or this lump of rock. 

We filled it up with layers of crushed rocks first till it was nice and soily. Then we sent in meteors from random directions to make deep holes in this soily surface of UnEarth. What we got was a lump of soily rock with lots of deep craters on it's surface.

Then came Poseidon. 

For those of you who don't know Poseidon, the picture below is quite descriptive. Also, Epic.

He puts up quite a show when we tell him to fill up some planet with water. If you happened to be standing on the surface of UnEarth at that moment when Poseidon decides to fill it with water, you would see a pale blue something hurtling towards the surface from the sky. When seen closer, you would see that it is like a big blue water balloon. Because that is exactly what it is. 

Then, there is impact.

It would seem to you as if a nuclear bomb just exploded somewhere in the distance. After a few seconds, while you stand there staring in awe, a 500 feet big Tsunami will hit you with mind bending speed. Before you get engulfed by this wave, there is a chance that you would see Poseidon floating in mid-air, smiling with pride. You would also hear a lot of thundering because we Gods are applauding at this entertaining display of watery might. We applaud like Amitabh Bachchan does in KBC when someone wins a huge amount of money. Then we take some AmrutA shots to celebrate the arrival of the basis of life on Planet UnEarth. 

Water.

Poseidon, take a bow!

What was interesting was that when the meteors hit the surface with extremely high velocity, they displaced the soil everywhere. Around these craters huge mounds of soil were formed. After Poseidon watered the whole planet, these mounds became rather muddy and started flowing all around the planet. They got deposited in random places in mounds and formed smooth mountains. These mountains, when dried up, had very slippery surfaces.

We all watched with pride at this barren, newly created UnEarth. But then, something was missing.

Oh right!

Life.
