I am leaning more towards the "power" theme I had last week. I would like to base my overall project about that theme, while also incorporating the other themes into it at the same time.
One story I could do is a backstory; some background information about why the two gods (or animals, or groups of people) are fighting each other. I could tell this story from a 3rd person omniscient view, where I overlook the entire scene, or I could tell this story from a first person point of view. If I were to do first person, I would have to split up the story between the two sides and have the main character from each side be the person telling the story, so that the people reading my story will have both sides of the background story before reading the rest of it. I could add in the creation story theme idea with some background information about why the two groups are fighting each other. For example, I could tell a short story about how a certain body of water was made, then say that two groups of animals are fighting over that body of water and who should be allowed to drink from it. A resource I could use is about Varuna, the God of the Oceans.
The second story I do could be about the actual fight, and what happened during it. I could have each side fighting for days, and could incorporate the Arabian Nights/Aladdin theme ideas by introducing a genie into the war. There could be a magic lamp that the groups are fighting for, or it could simply be another character into the mix of things, ready to help out wherever needed. I could even have one genie for each side of the war. When I thought of this, it reminded me a bit of the Mahabharata scene when Arjuna and Karna are about to fight and Krishna appears before Arjuna to guide him through his thoughts. The genies could be like Krishna, and help each side gain their strength back to fight.
The third story I could do is a final recap and aftermath of the war. I could write about if the groups decided to end on good terms, or if one of the groups completely demolished the other, etc. If I wrote about the two groups ending on good terms, it could end on a tie, or a truce. Then, the two groups could merge and form their own city with everyone included. Here, I could incorporate the food theme idea I had last week by having the two sides taste and adapt to each other's main dishes. I could go into more detail about the type of food and what it consists of, while also showing how the two sides hated each other before, and now have come together and started trusting each other and eating each other's food.
