Long ago before us humans had ever come to be was a king. But he was no ordinary, oh no, he was the king of the ocean . His name was
Neptune. This king Neptune  had eight sons that were his prized possession. If any thing would have happen to them they there would be unimaginable consequences. But one day when Neptune  was searching the ocean for trouble he looked up in to the sky and saw nine balls. He immediately declared that there were going to be name after his sons Mercury ,  Venus,   Earth  ,  Mars  ,  Jupiter  ,  Saturn,   Uranus  , and  Pluto  the smallest of them all. He also named one of the balls after him self, Neptune. But while Neptune  was scouting the ocean his enemies were taking over the kingdom. When he got back to the kingdom he saw what was happening. He took his son and built a flying invention and too him and his sons to the safety of his planet Neptune. While on these planets that they staid for many years, they were beginning to grow tired of one another, but the king still did not want his sons to go in case if there was any danger was near. But he did not want to send his sons to there planets for they would be to far away. While thinking Neptune  looked up in to the sky and saw other rounded balls that looked like  dirt clumps. He could not believe that he had not seen them before. They would keep his sons safe because no one would now that they would be there. He counted… And there was eight the perfect amount for he had eight sons. He named them quickly claiming them his. Triton,  Naiad  ,  Thaslassa  ,  Despina  ,  Galatea  ,  Larissa  ,  Piteous  , and  Nereid  were the names that  Neptune  named the “  moons  ”. His sons escaped to there moons. Good thing to because as soon as they left Neptune’s  enemies found out were he was hiding for they look on every “  planet  ”. But during his time on Neptune  the king became found of his  planet  and his planet to him. So his planet  protected him putting three faint dark rings of dust around the  planet   Neptune. In the end Neptune’s  enemies could get to him and they never found out were he hid his sons.
