CREATIVITY By Ely Grenet An aura of beauty swept the foliage, In a land beyond your wildest Imagination. The sun was Illuminating every nook and cranny with Its Incandescent glow. Trees and flowers spread throughout the jungle, like chameleons, changing colors In the middle of autumn. While In the dense part of the jungle, caverns led down far, far below where darkness prevailed. It was an unspeakable evil which reigned the land during the night and hid during the day. In a time of surreal and blzzare adventures, a war would be fought, as light and darkness would struggle for the supreme reign over all the land and good and evil over all Its inhabitants. The hidden sceptor was the one source which would determine who would rule over all the land. In a battle which was yet to begin. Lying under a Sequoia tree was Noth, son of a fearless warrior who had fought in many battles. Hoth had brown hair, green eyes, a wore a deerskin loincloth with a bow and quiver of arrows strapped across his shoulder. Sleeping soundly, he did not know that soon his Innermost fears would be awakened when darkness would overshadow his dreams. Suddenly, stubby, putrid hands were all over him, sliming his body. Hundreds of trolls quickly covered Hoth like parasites. They were cannibalistic, foul smelling little men with wrinkly skin, pointed ears, jagged teeth, and claws. "Nooool", When the Sceptor goes to Broadway, we'll be ready! screamed Hoth as he awoke In sweat, realizing that It was still day. While down in his underground lair. Necromancer was plotting his attack. He was an exoskeleton with a thick, moist membrane surrounding each bone. Black oval eyes and thick green membranes formed his malicious facial expression. Standing at a height of ten feet, he was an evil Incarante. Soon It would be dark and Hoth was In a rush to find the sceptor. His good friend, the little fairy Gulmana, gave him a visual perception of where it was hidden. She was three Inches long with short, frosty, white hair, green eyes, a dainty figure, crystalline wings, and an array of multicolored glitter which covered her minute body. Waving her hand around a glowing, transluscent bubble she showed him the secret entrance to Mt. Sharac. Waving goodbye, Gulmana's tiny body gilded through the air, her wings fluttering rapidly. Sitting on his winged unicorn, Hoth quclkly held onto his mane as it flew through the air; twilight glistening as It eventually turned dark In the land. Suddenly, Necromancer stepped out of the cavern and every living creature hid In fear. Waving his hands in a circular motion, his sorcery became evident as his body transcended into a grey mist, changing from that of an exoskeleton to that of a human form. Entering Mt. Sharac through the secret entrance, Hoth followed the route Gulmana gave him. The Icy cold air gave the rocky limestone walls a THE CALL by Jon Ssunders /see the clouds of mountains white rolling in /see the eating the walls which protest' I see the flash of pure light that blinds /see the red instrument which lacks my discipline /see the fine white grains covering my body /see the faces of evH and good talking at once I see the fire white grains swallow me whole I see the clouds roHmg in to fulfill my worst fear I see the blindness of my own eyes through light I see the discipline is gone and so is free will /see the confusion that is caused by the faces I hear Chariots of fire in the background /hear the cr}'' of anguish as lam swallowed I hear the micftty kwl"!? as it plunges onwmyd I hear the mices but cannot remember what they want /hear the battle its !o ver, the grains of white /hear the calling but do not heed for a long time /know what the voices want /know the faces and who was e vil /know those terrible clouds who command so well Paul knows that pure white light h/y free will is gone^ but the wrong /know the time will come to get up and begin anew The time /s short and! will be angry and sad Confused and ridiculed never came before because / was quick to be swallowed by the black mouth who is the father of L ies. wet residue as he continued on the path. Lighting a torch when It became pitch black, the cave walls surrounded him and his unicorn, as bats clung everywhere In hibernation. Looking around in desperation, Hoth noticed a faint glow across the tunnel In the cave wall towards the right. Peeping in the hole, the array of jewelry which surrounded the gold sceptor left him In a trance. Stretching his hand Into the opening, Hoth reached for the sceptor, as his eyes slowly edged towards a beautiful but elusive figure. With a piercing shriek her eyes became glowing red, her teeth jagged, and from her fingers protruded claws. As her skin quickly began to decompose, a grey mist enshrouded the figure. Slowly the harrowing figure of Necromancer stepped out of her body, as the transformation was completed. The corpse, a decaying Image, vanished among the shadows. Waving his hands, the mist streaked with flashes of light and thunder as hundreds of trolls stepped out, attacking Hoth and his unicorn. Awakening the bats, they fluttered everywhere, piercing their shriek of anger, and jabbing their razor sharp teeth . Trying to grab the sceptor, the trolls attacked his legs. On the other side of the cavern the unicorn's crying pains echoed from wall to wall. Fighting with all his strength, Hoth pushed them out of the way, grabbed the sceptor, and smashed It. Light radiated as It released Itself from the broken pieces. In a rage of fury. Necromancer grabbed Hoth, throwing him on his unicorn. Dazed and weak from loss of blood, his vision became blurry. Suddenly, the cave shook and the walls began to crack, radiating streaks of sunlight on Necromancer and his trolls. Quickly the sceptor's cracked bulb began to penetrate and destroy darkness. The land began to break open and form ravines as light seeped through, destroying evil. Screaming In pain Necromancer and his trolls began to dlslntlgrate, as their bodies shriveled to dust. The light, overpowering with glowing radiance, overtook the land. Darkness vanished and the land regained Its beauty. Everything good, which had been destroyed by evil, was brought back to life, A spectrum of lights oozed over Hoth and his dead unicorn, as It Illuminated a brilliance of energy. Thrusting a pulsating heat, the light, released Its energy, giving them a new life to start with. Leaping energetically, Hoth landed on his unicorn, full of vigor. As the unicorn flapped Its wings, they left Into the heavens, never to be seen again.
