Training
Like survivors after a natural disaster,we helped eachother up from whatever sprawled position we had found ourselves in after our profoundly satisfying laughing session and made our way after Sir Gorgeous and Mr.Tightwad.The air was crisp,clean and refreshing;the sun a burning ball of light that warmed my skin and glinted off dewed leaves.Vividly colored butterflies and flying insects flitted among blooms and fruit,danced around my head and made me smile.The birds I'd moments ago found so tiresome were now endearing to my ears.
Funny how a belly full of food and laughter can change one's perspective.I came out of my contented reverie long enough to notice that we were close to the circle and this was to be our training ground.
I tried to crick my neck like they do in the movies and popped something I'm pretty sure was meant to be left alone.
Need to stop doing that.
Thankfully noone noticed my pitif

"Is this a joke to you? Cast the birds away this instant and summon your rodent companion!" Glob was saying, presumably to Keanu,though,who else could he be talking to?Ulrik must have smacked into my head harder than I thought.That cloud looked like a chicken leg.My stomach rumbled and I licked my chapped lips,rested a hand on my middle and rubbed comfortingly."You are thinking about food in a time like this? Look at the mayhem that you have caused!" Ulrik yelled at me,standing in all his arrogant,stick up the but glory,hands fisted at his hips,glowering at me and blocking out the sun.At least he made good shade.I sighed and struggled to my feet,wincing as my body moved painfully.I rolled my shoulders in an attempt to get rid of the kinks,preparing myself for the bloody verbal sparring that was now inevitable."You were going

ACHOO!!" I sneezed myself awake and immediately started to flail within the tangle of tentacles trying to strangle me to death.I open my eyes and see........darkness.Are my eyes even open?Hold on;I begin clawing at my neck and face and instead of slimy,wet, gelatinous octopus limbs,my fingers come into contact with cloth."Crap,crap,bloody stupid idiot static electricity"I seemed to have every single blanket,sheet and sweater currently trying to smother me to death.I fight and curse,landing on the floor of my bedroom in the process.I finally break free-my torso at least-and take stock of the damage done.My room is a warzone.A picture perfect tornado aftermath.The books from my bookcase are strewn across the floor,pages everywhere.All my stationary is scattered.My desk has been upended,my drawers open and empty.The contents litter every available surface.A snow

There's that static again.Just what sort of weird Alice in Wonderland crap is this? While my brain tries to catch up,my body is thrown unceremoniously on what feels like large marbles.Unbelievably my eyes and nose register what appears to be.....gumballs? My brain skitters awake as my eyes once again widen to saucers.There are millions of red,blue,purple,pink,orange,green and heck I don't know the names of all those other colours,but I'm sure every single shade on the spectrum is represented here,balls of glittery sugary gum underneath me and I lay there,my torso twisted and supported by my forearms,my legs folded at the knees,just staring with my hair forming a curtain around my face.Definately putting 'haidresser' on my to-do- list.That normal thought seeps through my trance-like state and my head lifts.Then bam,back in the trance I go.This 'in shock' thing is becoming my new norm.Im surrounded by that weird foamy fog.It's thick and glows uncannily blue.I can only see throug

I didn't realise how creepy this place was until about five minutes after the Tree Bear vanished.It went from mystical to ominous real quick,the 'plop plop' starting to sound eerie and menacing.By then I had walked no more than fifty feet in the powdery,all encompassing fog and despite my rising apprehension the towering Freia ( funny how I remembered that but not Tree Bear's name) were really starting to look appetizing.They were growing fairly close together and there was one about two feet in front of me that I couldn't stop staring at.The chocolate-and I'm a hundred per cent sure it is now-was oozing and flowing, undulating in this mesmerizing,almost seductive way and I couldn't tear my gaze from it.I know Tree Bear man warned me against touching the stuff but I can't imagine why.I was alone.Who would know? Plus I really needed a sugar rush.I looked up at the towering,beautiful mass of brown goodness and reached out to touch.I had one second t

Ulrik released my arm as soon as we fell through so I was once again flailing,except this time it felt like I was falling in space.It was inky black,with a depth that was perceived more than seen.Eerily,I could see my arms,legs and clothes clear as day,though all around me was completely black.It felt infinite and....final,as if I had just died and was sentenced to float around in this darkness forever.Until I turned my head to the right and saw Mr.Big Hairy Pompous Bear Man smiling at me."Afraid of the dark Judah?"A little."Where the raspberry are we?" I'm falling timelessly and so is he.My hair is straight up above me,his incongruous bark-skin is glowing softly.Im freaking out and he's smiling at me with his long,obnoxiously white incisors glinting in the unseen light."This is The Deep.I am able to channel us through this realm to a place closer to Aorta.I cannot do this for more than four minutes or my life force will begin to ebb.If you had not wasted so much t

My destiny was really looking up.Or rather down.In my belly.My eyes were still somewhere at the back of my head when they rolled there in sheer unadulterated pleasure from the swipe of Freia chocolate I stole.I gaped at my surroundings as Ulrik spoke."Not so long ago, Gargol reigned supreme in Opa,"Is that a bushel of...cinnamon rolls? And hot cross buns on-gasp-candy cane stems? Is that a whipped cream dandelion??"He was cruel,selfish and crazed with his own power.The people of Opa were quite literally taxed for walking on the street,for using the restroom.They could barely afford the meager supply of food that trickled out from behind the walls of his castle." I stopped ogling a croissant tree for a split second,"sounds like a right bastard," back to ogling while he continues,voice grim as we walk along the path."Indeed,that he was.Glob waited for ten bitter years,honing his skills, incessantly practicing his

My eyes widened, almost taking over my entire face as I paddled and kicked the air.My hand brushed against a Freia and my vocal cords sprang into action."Aaaaaaaahhhhh!" I turned and flailed.Screamed and clawed at nothingness.Im not sure why I bothered since my body refused to obey me and kept right on rising."ULRIK!!" At this point I'm pinwheeling,still screaming,and getting more frantic by the second.I do a breast stroke in the air.A butterfly.Jumping jacks. Uncoordinated flapping around(thank God I'd put some tights on the night before).Nothing worked. "Judah,get down this istant." I barely heard him over my wildly beating heart and my rapid,short burst screaming."Don't you think I'm trying?!" I started to swim through the air,looked down and realised that my momentum was taking me off the path and steering me towards some-thankfully-normal looking pine trees.I also noticed a certain Tree Bear looking extremely annoyed and very inconvenienced walking beneath me."You need to quiet

Thwack,woosh,swat.That was the rhythm we walked to.Ukrik's big rod (really need to start phrasing this better so I don't sound like a perv) slapped a low hanging branch out of the way,-thwack-swept lower to part the long grass,-woosh-and I was constantly swatting at some very blood thirsty insects that kept nipping at my exposed skin.I'm beginning to regret ever wishing for the normal and familiar.Give me Godis any day.Throughout my scratching and grumbled curses,Ulrik told his tale."Glob knew that his victory would never be permanent unless he put other measures in place.To maintain dominion,he had to venture out of this realm and into yours.""I don't get it,why couldn't he just work his voodoo magic on his own people?"He grunted with his next thwack,forcing me to hop over the branch that fell.Which caused me to bump into his granite back and pretty much break my face."Holy pineapple on a stic
