INTRO
Man! Holy cow! Wowwie zowwie! O.M.G.! and every other exclamation sayings there
are. Talk about Maniacs and unbelievable things! Wolves, Birds, Aliens, Wars,
Genie-pig boys! What next?!? You're probably all a little confused, so let me explain.
(by the way, my name's Taylor and I’m 13.)
It was the beginning of summer and a fire had just struck in Eucalyptus Hills
where I and my 5 best friends, Madilin, Katie, Amy, Jewel, and Brain (Brian) live.(part 1 friends and animals in the fire) Madilin, who was first to see the fire since it was up on the hill behind her house, didn’t think of calling 911 or her parents, who happened to be at an over night church meeting along with her 5 friend’s parents, she could only think of getting her, her animals and 5
year old Danny, away from the fire and contacting her best friends. She called all of us
and told us to get money, food, clothes, and are pets and meet her at the bus stop on
our street, NO EXCEPTIONS! We were about to go on the biggest and scariest
adventure of our LIVES! Well actually we thought we were just going to Madilin’s
Grandparent’s house on the other side of the forest. Unfortunately, we never, ever,
made it!
We all had transportation of course. Emily, Angel, and Thunder. 3 ordinary
horses, Emily, a grey pregnant mare due in a month, and Angel, a white mare were
both Madilin’s. Thunder was an all black male and Emily’s mate.
Well, it turns out another fire had started in the part of the woods that we
happened to be in. That’s where it ALL began. We met 2 orphaned puppies, a rotwiller
named Riley, now owned by Katie and Buddy, a small miniature Shnowzure who now
belongs to Amy. Then we met Gallop, a black Unicorn and Fang, a REAL LIVE WOLF!,
who both belonged to a boy named G.R.. Only G.R. was no ordinary boy, he lived in a
totally different world! He was the cutest boy ever! (Untill Tryon.) He showed us his
world, The Land Of The Forgotten, (part 2 trapped in the mistical land) and there we met his 7 friends, Jamie, Jodey,Sarah, Brad (the werewolf), Uni (the Unicorn), Sparks and Sparky (two dragons). Turns out that Jamie, Jodey and Sarah are humans called RAPHERS (raffers). Raphers are
people who can change into any animal, mystical, alive or extinct, their heart desired.
At first we all thought it was soooo cool! And it still is, until we learned from Sparky that
the portal to get BACK to OUR world was rusting shut and we had to travel to GROTH
to get home.
Here we found, instead of forests and mountains and hills and oceans, that
Groth was all one big city. A city with flying cars and future-type things. Here we met
5 more new friends, Hannah, Fudge, Josh (Amy’s BF), Nick (Madilin’s BF), and Luis.
Our visit at their huge hotel/mansion/house though was cut short when we all learned a
terrible thing. We were wanted.
Rynox, the evil emporer of Groth HATED all humans from earth. He wanted us
either in jail, OR KILLED! So he sent out his police robots with their high and technical,
fire blaster guns and electrons to arrest us (how rude!) certainly didn’t go as planned.
G.R. saved our butts, but in return we had to PROMISE NEVER EVER TO COME
BACK! We had to leave are 13 friends behind, FOREVER, or so we thought.
2 months later, we meet again. (part 3 we are raphers)G.R., Nick, and Josh came back into our world because Rynox was sending down evil human controlling aliens that look like
overgrown octopuses called Lars that were here to DESTROY us and all of the
human race! Yeah, there was an itsy-bitsy problem! So, since we were the only
humans that knew of the other worlds and what actually was going on, we were
given a power. Yep, the power to raph. G.R., Nick, and Josh couldn’t help us since
if Rynox found out that they were trying to help the human race they would be
slaughtered! So, we had to save the world, 6 kids saving the world with just the
ability to become animals? HA! Well actually, even though I’m not a big animal
person like Madilin you’d be surprised at what mer animals could do!
There was another problem also, a little more personal problem, we had to
KILL the Lars. We had to bring blood, guts, and the word KILL into our humble
lives. We had to bring DEATH. This was not our point of view for 13 year old kids.
We knew this was war, and we had to fight it. But, when you’re a carnivore or any
animal that has to kill, which is like, every animal, it isn’t as bad as we thought. I
mean, I’m not saying it was a blast or fun, it’s just. . . well it’s a little more
complicated to explain. The Lars had guns and massive weapons. We had (have)
the ability to become mighty animals like the Grizzly, the Wolf, the Gorilla or
even, the Dragon! And we had human brains. When you have the brains of a
human mixed with an animal, major trouble for whoever the enemy is.
It’s pretty scary when you first raph. You here bones crack while they
change their position, grow or maybe disappear all together. You can feel you
organs moving, squashing together or shrinking into nothing. Your muscles grow
stronger or weaker. It’s especially terrifying when you see someone else raph. It’s
beyond disgusting, beyond, repulsive, beyond barbaric, beyond inhumane.
But anyway, and so here are adventure began. We soon met a girl named
Haley, who we soon figured out was a Boarent (alien) who looks like a giant
fairy/angel/monster named Hercheetokey and 2 other aliens Geek, a Genery who
looks like an over grown lizard/dragon/alligator who in his regular form is soooo
stupid but luckily he can raph to human just not animals.(part 4 Geek) And there’s, *huh* *long
sigh*, Tryon the 2cond, a Trycon who is 6ft7, has a whip-like 3ft tale, has sharp
blades on his arms and back, has one gold and one red eye with a blue V on his
forehead and his whole body is green, oh and he has wolf-like legs that he walks
on. They’re (as in Tryckons) 10 times smarter than Albert Einstein! Even though
Tryon doesn’t like to show it, well maybe just a little. They have no mouths and
talk through our brains, we call it thought speak. It’s also how we, as animals, talk
to one another. You can direct thought speak to anyone, either everyone, just a
couple or just one person. And he has a rare sense of humor. When he changes to
human form he is the cutest, I mean cutest guy around. And, he’s mine! (part 5 Aliens and raphers traveling)
Anyway, Brain, had been abducted by the Lars, taken as a captive, and had
his raphing ability taken away. (part 6 guenie-pig boy) Well, when he was in polar bear raph. So, the Lars
gave him a potion that to whatever animal he changed into next he would be stack
as, FOREVER! Which happened to be a genie-pig. Luckily his favorite animal
besides a lion and a rabbit. So, he’s stuck, stuck as a black/white/and brown genie-
pig. Cute, YEAH RIGHT! He still has that attitude problem and his sick sense of
humor. After fighting a war with the Lars at their secret facility under a wolf
center in Seattle, Washington, and killing about 50 Lars (YIPPY!) And Amy
threatening them, we rescued Brain and went back home. Hercheetokey, who
didn’t come with us and stayed behind at Brains house watching our progress had
a solution. We would go to her land, The Land Of The Ark, so her people could
cure Brain. The only problem, only 2 of us could go. The rest would stay in The
Land Of The Forgotten with G.R. and everyone else.
Now, all the others take me as a wimpy, scardey-cat. Madilin, the leader,
even though she says we all work together, Katie, the brave one, Jewel, the active
one, Amy, the smart girly-girl one, Brain, the joker, Haley (Hercheetokey), expert
on all aliens, Tryon, the REALLY smart one and my secret BF, and Geek, the dumb
one, and me, the scardey-cat. But this time I chose to go with Hercheetokey.
Why? First, because of Tryon. He was going too. He and I have secretly been
bonding with one another. Whenever we were in animal raph or Tryon was himself
he would talk to me. We ended up falling into a deep love. We, unlike G.R. and I,
have a lot in common. I like G.R. but Tryon and I have been through A LOT
together. And also, I wanted to go so I could proove to everyone that I WAS
NOT just a scardey-cat and I could do this. That I could be serious and take the
weight that was put on our shoulders.
So, here we go. I have no idea what’s going to happen or what we’ll be
dealing with, I just know that I’m doing the right thing.
I hope. . . (part 7 backtracking)
