How Cymbals Were Made

Hikari was a child unlike others. He had no friends he sat by himself writing songs and playing his instruments. His mother being the Goddess Athena he was very smart, he was constantly trying to find new ways to improve his instruments.

His favorite instrument however was his drums. Hikari after three years , made a new instrument to go with his drums to make them sound better, he called this new instrument the cymbals. Hikari decided to share his new creation with the village he lived in. That night at the village gathering Hikari started to play his drums and the cymbals, it was the best music he had ever heard, the rest of the village however was not impressed for they threw many things at him.

Angered by no one’s appreciation for his music, Hikari ran to his home and started breaking all of his instruments for in his eyes they betrayed him. He had destroyed all of his instruments but one, the cymbals sat on his bed and seemed to be starring at him. He picked them up and threw them at the wall and fell to the floor Hikari then cried himself to sleep.

That night he had a dream, a horrible dream, he was on a total onslaught of the village. Destroying homes and attacking people he knew. He didn’t want to do be doing these things. He was aware he was doing them but it was like something was controlling him. After he attacked the last villager the God Ares appeared in front of him and spoke, he said “Good job boy.” But as the last word came out of Ares’ mouth it morphed into a women’s voice.

And Hikari heard his mother’s voice, soon Ares’ body changed into Athena’s. Hikari then knew his mother was talking to him through the dream. She said “Except who you are my son, it is who you will always be.” Then his mother flashed in light and the dream was over.

The next morning Hikari awoke to chaos. His village was destroyed, his family and every thing was gone. A Cyclops had come in the middle of the night and attacked every thing and every one. Hikari then met gaze with the monster responsible for the wreckage. The Cyclops grabbed Hikari and squeezed with all its might. Hikari’s scream was a very loud and high pitched screech. His mother sad of this happening took the sound of Hikari’s screech and put it in the metal disks of instruments her son had created.
Cymbals were used on Olympus for centuries afterward when later a minor god named Scothesus brought the cymbals back down to Earth and gave them to a desperate minstrel who from then on rocked like no other. He passed his ways of music on to his children and them on to theirs, so that Hikari’s spirit would live on forever in rock. THE END.
I wrote that story when I was little. I think it sucks now but tell me what you think.
