Descriptive writing

Ranginui is the god of the sky and heavens. Ranginui is the father of 6 sons and his sons are Tane mahuta,Tāwhirimātea and more that i’m not gonna say because it will take a while and i don’t know how to spell their names. But Ranginui’s sons got angry because they always had to stay in between there mother and father and they got sick of always being in the dark so they tried to separate each other and they managed to move Ranginui to the sky and the sons were proud of themselves but there was on brother who was angry about their decision and that Maori god was Tawhirimatea and he ripped out his eye and threw it on Ranginui’s chess and that’s how matariki became a thing.

 

Ranginui is a strong muscular man with a cool smooth bun and he has a moko on his face. And he stares down at papatuanuku
