What Non-Western story do you belong in?
You belong in an origin story
Origin stories are myths that tell about the creation of the world or how certain phenomenon were "created."
A great example would be The Popul Vuh, the Mayan origin myth. This story tells the creation of animals, humans, and even why certain animals look the way they do (like why rabbits don't have tails). Origin myths are filled with powerful magic and gods challenging mortals on Earth.
Other origin myth stories include the bible and Greek/Roman mythology. Even time traveling stories, like Cartoon Network's Time Squad, can be considered origin myths because they explain how something got to be the way it is.
