Adventure: Part 2

"We'd better be going," said Jabez before the children could ask any more questions.
The children were taken to a castle.
Inside, the children heard the cackling voice of a man. "HELLO. I am Professor Mulloon." All of them gulped.
"GOOOOOOOD DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY, RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAFAAAAAAAAAAEL," said Mulloon. "Um, hi," said Rafael nervously.
And that is how the children and Professor Mulloon met.
When Jabez left, Mulloon sneered. "Your parents inherited jewels, didn't they?" At once the children knew what he was getting at. He wanted the jewels for himself. "You will NOT GET AT THE JEWELS! WE WON'T LET YOU HAVE THEM!" shouted Aurora. "Why, you insolent little brat!" said Mulloon, taking out a knife. But little Elise rescued her.

The next day, Mulloon apologized.
By making up for his evilness (I don't care if that's not a word!) he took them to the woods.
Liar.
He tied the children to the back of the seat. Then Mulloon tied a bomb to the inside of the car.
"What do we do?" cried Aurora.
"Stop the bomb, of course!" said Rafael. But he really had no idea how to do that. "Wait-maybe we can channel the electricity in the castle itself by wiring it!" thought Aurora. So they opened up half of the bomb and tied a string to its wires.
Then they threw the string out the car window.
The string reached the castle, and it blew up. Luckily the children were in the car, not in that horrible fortress!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!"
Jabez reached the castle. When he did, the children told him what happened. "Well, Mulloon was inside the castle when it blew up, so that is the end of him!"
Too bad they were wrong.

That's it! This story is continued in the book I am writing!

Adventure

This is a story about adventure. Enjoy!

Everyone was giggling and happy and having a wonderful life and a wonderful childhood when-
"Your parents disappeared. We've found you a foster parent."
These words started an adventure that would not end until their childhood was over.
The people that the man was speaking to was Rafael and Elise and Aurora. Let's refer to that man as Jabez.
Jabez took the children to see their house. It was burnt to ashes. "Wh-what happened?" stuttered Rafael.
"Your parents couldn't have died because of this because they were at a conference during this. Oh, I tried to warn them!-" he cried.
"WHAT?!" cried the children.
Jabez then said, "I shouldn't have said that!"

The Great Dragon

This is a story about a dragon. Enjoy!

I am a dragon,
And I bring forth water
Enjoy my creation
The stars are my great kingdom,
The earth is my poetry
I have written everyone in my poetry
In the Book of Life
I am the great poet
And every poem, every story
Is unique
In its own way
I am the Creator.
I know all secrets,
Supernatural and natural
I know all these things for nothing can be hidden
From Love.
I do not have wings, for my Love for everyone
Allows me to fly.
I am not dirty, for I am cleansed
I am bright for my Love shines on everyone
I am beautiful
My daughters are Wonder and Nature
I come in different forms, for everyone is different
However I must return to where I live,
For pleas and prayers need to be answered!

That's it. The dragon symbolizes God, for I imagine God to be huge and strong.

Understanding

Yep. That is what this poem is called. I have decided to go even deeper into knowledge and to create wisdom. Enjoy!

Be swept into a land
Where heaven joins earth
Be in the presence of cherubs and Little Angels
Be in Prayer and meditation
Think of how
God created this world
Observe all details
For you shall find
A bit of God in everything
Be,
Observe,
Think,
For there is a little bit of the master
In the learner.

I hope you enjoyed this poem. Mom sure enjoyed it.

A Poem by Kyle

I couldn't think of a name for this poem, so that has to be the name for the blog entry.

The breeze of righteousness,
The wind of Truth,
carries me to heaven, and
now I am back.
The Gates of Glory,
Made of heaven's finest gold,
And the archangels, they guard the Gate
From Sadness and Grief
From Lies and Greed,
I had gone on a ship,
leading to heaven,
Sailing on the seas of the Afterlife,
A language of love
Is spoken in heaven,
And angels are carrying
Prayers on their backs, and leaving God
To answer them, he sends them back to Heaven's
United Postal Service,
And love balloons are sent from Earth,
I could go on and on about this magnificent place,
But for now, let me rest,
For I have the journey of life ahead of me!

That is the poem that I wrote. I was thinking about John Milton's book, "Paradise Lost," when I wrote it. But I also thought of what I thought of heaven. A poet, you see, always expresses his thoughts and feelings, you know!

Koschei the Deathless

This is a story based on a Russian fairytale. I hope you like it!

There was once a closet in which no one in the kingdom was allowed to enter. No one knew why, but the king ordered it, so no one did.
One day, the king's son, Prince Ivan, had discovered the closet. It was shut because a wooden hand locked it.
Prince Ivan went to touch the hand. And the moment he touched the hand, it slapped him. Prince Ivan saw blood coming out of the hand. When opened, Ivan saw a doll in red paint.
"Ha! A silly doll. I wonder why my father banned the closet from being opened."
But he didn't notice the doll had transformed into a strange man with a hunchback and long arms. "Thanks, friend."
Prince Ivan turned around and screamed.

"Father...I just saw a-a-a doll transform into a-a-a person." "Let me guess. You opened the closet," said the king. "Yes," Ivan admitted.
"Well, there is nothing we can do about it," said the king. And to this day, we know this man to be Koschei the Deathless.(He is immortal) Some claim that he roams the land to this day.
As for the closet-it vanished.

The Tale of Vasilisa the Beautiful and Baba Yaga

This is not a fairytale that I made up. It is about Baba Yaga. Enjoy!

There was once a beautiful girl that was named Vasilisa. She was sent to go to a ball for the prince. Sadly, the ignorant prince thought she was ugly.
Brokenhearted, Vasilisa ran away from home and foolishly searched for Baba Yaga to make her as beautiful as the sunset.
In case you do not know, Baba Yaga was an evil witch who made riddles in which the wrong answer could lead to death.
Vasilisa searched for Baba Yaga, awaiting a dangerous adventure.
There was a river she had to cross. Walking towards it, she found that a branch blocked her path. When Vasilisa found that the branch was broken, she fixed the branch and bound it in bandages. "Because you have been kind to me, I will not only let you pass, but give you a word of advice. You were sent to do something every time you go somewhere, because you were meant to go there, not by your will," said the branch.
When she got to the river, there was a fish on the ground. Vasilisa put the fish back into the water. "Because you have been kind to me, I shall not only carry you across the river, but give you a word of advice. Make new trails; do not follow one trail that someone has already created," said the fish. Vasilisa heeded the fish's advice, and was carried across the river.
Now she saw an owl with a splinter in her wing. Vasilisa took it out. "Because you have been kind to me, I shall not only carry you across these trees to Baba Yaga's hut so that you won't get lost, but give you a word of advice. You step in a new river everyday." The owl carried Vasilisa across the trees in the forest.
Vasilisa arrived at Baba Yaga's hut. "I know what you want," said Baba Yaga. She took out a ring from her pocket and said, "When you put on this ring, you will become as beautiful as the sunset." Vasilisa took the ring, and, without hesitation, leaped towards the gate, but it closed by magic. Baba Yaga cackled an evil laugh. "Before you leave, I must ask you three questions. If you answer incorrectly, I shall kill you! Were you sent here?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." "Are you supposed to make new trails everyday?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." Baba Yaga was slowly starting to fume. "Do you step in a new river everyday?" Vasilisa remembered. "Yes." "NO! NO! NO!" Baba Yaga shouted angrily. The gates opened, and Vasilisa ran, followed by Baba Yaga.
"I will not let you find your way, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you stuck that splinter into my wing," said the owl. But Baba Yaga did find her way.
"I will not help you cross, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you threw me onto the ground to where I could not breathe," said the fish. But Baba Yaga jumped over the river by using her magic.
"I will not let you pass, because Vasilisa has been kind to me, and you have broken my branch," said the tree, and all the other trees agreed. When Baba Yaga tried to jump over the trees by using her magic, she found that she could not because the trees were too high a distance for a witch to jump over. When she tried to squeeze through the trees, she found that she was too fat. And when she tried to dig her way under the trees, she found that their roots reached to the core of the earth. Baba Yaga was imprisoned behind the trees.
Vasilisa had put on her ring, and when Vasilisa saw that it didn't work, the prince, feeling sorry for her, realized that it was the inside of a person that matters, and married her anyway. THE END

Listen, I pretty much changed the entire story, but I hope you like it anyway. Make a new trail everyday; don't be a follower, be a leader. And you step in a new river everyday, because you learn something everyday.
