 WELCOME TO MY WIKI! THE LEGENDARY LAND OF AOTEAROA A long time ago in the lush green land of Aotearoa, where the animals ran free and clear streams flowed in and out of the beautiful countryside lived a blood thirsty, ferocious Taniwha. His body was like a big, towering mountain, his legs were like huge trees. But his eyes were the worst, they were like looking into the gateway of hell. The sound of his roar was like a screeching cry. The rumble of his huge feet pounding on the ground was enough to make your hair stand on end. Every animal in the whole of Aotearoa was afraid of him. But although being fearsome and ferocious the Taniwha would often dream of what it would be like with people growing up around him. Although everyday this thought would come to his mind he would try and shake it off. But one day the strangest thing happened. The Taniwha suddenly had a huge surge of power run through his vains like lava through a volcano. Suddenly, with a last surge of power a bolt of blue energy flew from his chest, making a huge explosion. Startled and afraid the Taniwha cautiously approached the huge singed pit of blackness. As soon as the Taniwha fired the blue energy from his chest he knew what he had done. Slowly, very slowly out of the the mist emerged strange creatues that the Taniwha had never seen before. He had created life! The Taniwha didn’t quite know what he had created though. Then he remembered, the lonliness, the strange thoughts, theTaniwha had created people! And he knew what that ment. People had the strange urge to rule so he knew they would try and take over his throne. And he was right. As soon as the people saw him they yelled battle crys and charged. The great and poweful Taniwha would not be afraid of thse people. But as strong and powerful as he was he greatly underestimated the peoples power and was soon all tied up and struggling greatly. He would not escape though for those ropes were made of the strongest flax. And there he still stands today as he had slowly formed into a great mountain. Nowdays we know him as Mt Cook. Also the big black pit where life was created slowly filled in with the great waters of Tangaroa creating a huge lake we now know as lake Taupo. So this legend of life, death and creation will live on in our lives as the Taniwha and the place of lifes creation will stay with us forever.
