The Diving Bell And The Butterfly Book Novels & Stories

Noticing the huge commotion, Alex was instantly startled for a moment. He was trying to drag the butterfly demon stealthily into an ancient golden book, but the current commotion was simply too huge. Everyone present saw these things clearly, not to mention those insects from Mount Oro. Sacred yet solemn Buddhist texts rose from the ground and enveloped the butterfly demon like a huge net. It was dragged into the golden book right away. It seemed a process would be required. “Cleo!” “D*mn it! How dare you work Cleo?! Go to hell!”

I was welcomed by a gushing wind of extraordinary aura from the centre of the room where Dorothy sat legs-crossed — wings outstretched behind her — and her eyes shut. Still baffled by the sight, I slipped in. The aura kept on spinning around her, making her seemingly barricaded from the rest of the world. I quickly cast my eyes around her room and filled them with warmness. Looking back at her, my eyes then caught sight of a big book with the word, “Butterflies”, and a smaller book that said, “Fairies”. Something inside me wanted me to rush right down to it and grab it, still, all I could do was keep watching from where I stood.

Labelling me, with others saying all sorts of terrible things. I took a deep breath and just read my book. The time passed, my hand waving in the air with a butterfly flying all around me and tickling me as it brushed over my skin. I brushed it off now and again but there seemed to be more than one. My head tipped up, looking around me to find so many butterflies all around me. My eyes shot out, standing up with the book shut.

They all wondered when the blue bells were going to come and take them out of this nightmare. Not later their prayers were answered with the bell chimed, it was a soft jingle of bells that were much louder when you were above ground but since they were in the basement. Although somehow it was loud enough for the students to hear, they all jumped out of their chairs grabbing the textbook and notes they were doing before. Lavender closed the book having the paper she was doing as the book marker, she slowly got up waiting for the herd to go through, so she didn’t get trampled by them.

Even in daylight, the soul had found a new messenger. Eloise’s gaze locked onto the butterfly with hypnotic intensity. She could not look away. Its wings, once a shimmering velvet black edged in electric blue, began to quiver unnaturally. One by one, they detached and drifted downward like dying leaves, revealing a soft, pulsating body beneath. In seconds the delicate creature had transformed into something grotesque: a fat, glistening worm the length of her forearm, its pale, segmented flesh slick with viscous fluid. It writhed slowly against the bamboo wall, leaving a faint, iridescent trail behind it.

He was waiting for the opening of the big war. Twelve men stood behind him, and they were Twelve Golden Zodiacs. Finally, while they had waited for a long time, the sky on the east brightened, and the dawn was coming. The cocoon in the mansion on 556 West Destiny Street also hatched while the sky became bright. A newborn butterfly came out of its cocoon. After the butterfly tried to flap its wings, it flew up. It flew through the main door and flew all the way to the east. “Follow the butterfly!”

Zero. The bubble started to disperse into a billion air bubbles that now rose up to the surface. Byron immediately grabbed my hand and started to drag the both of us towards the hole. I could feel the strain on the arm that he was pulling. He was swimming fast. I started to kick my legs in order to proper myself and to lessen the strain. With my free hand, I placed it over my mouth and nose unconsciously - as if the action alone can help me prevent from letting out too much air.

The mighty have fallen. Before he can change his mind, his wings burst open. There's no way he's going to ruin everything he's ever worked for. Even if it appears to be hopeless now, the Lord always has a purpose. He will prove his worth-if it's the last thing he ever does. His feathers twitch, anxious for the air. With one last breath of the clean, fresh air of Heaven, he dives toward the surface. His wings carry him lower and lower. They spin him around in circles causing his usually perfect hair to flap all about. This long descent is the best part of this whole thing. It’s the most air he’s ever experienced, making him feel like a dove: determined and free.

He smiled, a genuine, unburdened expression, and reached out a tentative finger to touch a vibrant butterfly that had landed on a nearby flower. Its wings, a kaleidoscope of colors, shimmered in the sunlight, a fragile masterpiece of nature. Then, the idyllic scene shattered. The butterfly, a symbol of beauty and fleeting joy, morphed into a swarm of a million ants, their tiny bodies coalescing into a writhing, menacing mass. They descended upon him, an army of miniature terrors, crawling over his skin, their mandibles biting and stinging, inflicting a thousand tiny pinpricks of agony.

Blake walks over and takes a look at what we seen. “You see it too right? We aren’t losing our minds?” Desi asked him. “Nope that’s it. I wonder if this person is the dragonfly?” Blake ask sitting the magnifying glass down and looking at me. “Tell them the prophecy Evey.” I shake my head clearing my thoughts. “As I said my son is seer, prophet, whatever you want to call it. Yesterday he had one. This is what he said; The dragonfly has turned their back on the one they love the most. Their demise is the redemption to save the sparrow. Fight for their freedom but death will be easy. Watch from behind or the sword will strike true. The butterfly with a scar will give their life to save the dove
