Styx the Fool’s Blog Post #1: Lunar Portal to the Depths.
Lunar Portal to the Depths
As Isabella explored the Venezuelan rainforest, she felt an eerie (frightening) presence and stumbled upon an old temple hidden in the trees. Using her grandma’s map, she discovered a secret entrance. Inside, mysterious symbols glowed, and the air crackled with magic.
As Isabella ventured deeper, she entered a chamber with sparkling crystals and encountered magical beings guarding a shimmering (shining) portal. A sense of excitement filled the air. Isabella knew her journey had just started, and the secrets of Venezuela’s magical lands awaited her.
She hastily entered the portal, unaware of the honors she was about to experience. She found herself in an empty prison cell. Fortunately for her, it wasn’t locked. Pushing the door open, only to see that the once the “Old Temple” was active. The writings on the wall flickered with a blue light. She quietly moved through the dim hallways. She saw two figures walk by …
She tensed up. She wasn’t alone. But her curiosity got the best of her. She approached the hallway, peeking at the corner, the figures adorned with robes, and some clothes that had the moon phase over them. The two figures suddenly disappeared right in front of her. What was going on here?! She wanted to explore more… She heard an echoing chant coming from the end of the hallway.
The closer she got, the louder the chant became. She finally exited the temple’s winding hallways. Her eyes only saw a tall figure loom over her. It looked like the same robed creature, and yet … it looked way too much taller. The robe looked way more imposing. She couldn’t see its face under the shadows. “Thou shouldn’t be here,” it spoke. She suddenly opened her eyes again. It was a very stupid dream.

Styx the Fool’s Blog Post #2:
The Kingdom above the Skies
Once upon a time there was a kingdom, high above the skies it was laid on a cloud, A princess ruled over the kingdom yet she slept, not even opening her eyes. Everybody did not seem to worry since all of them were comatose like she was. They all slept on the soft clouds, drifting to their sleep… the slumbering princess…
As the kingdom drifted in its ethereal slumber, a profound stillness enveloped the clouded realm. Time itself seemed to hold its breath as the princess, adorned in regal attire, lay motionless upon her clouded throne. Yet, beneath the surface of this tranquil facade, a sinister enchantment had ensnared the kingdom, binding its inhabitants in an unyielding sleep.
In a distant village nestled among the cotton-like folds of the clouds, a young adventurer named Citrin had heard tales of the slumbering kingdom. Determined to uncover the mystery shrouding the princess and her people, Citrin embarked on a perilous journey through the skies, guided only by whispers of ancient magic and forgotten prophecies.
Upon reaching the kingdom’s shimmering gates, Citrin beheld the mesmerizing sight of the sleeping masses, their faces serene and untouched by the passage of time. With each step, he felt the weight of centuries pressing down upon him, urging him to abandon his quest and join the endless dream.
But Citrin refused to succumb to the enchantment that gripped the kingdom. Drawing upon his courage and resolve, he ventured into the heart of the castle, where the slumbering princess lay in her enchanted repose. Gazing upon her fair countenance, Citrin sensed a flicker of life buried deep within her unconscious form.
Driven by a newfound determination, Citrin delved into the annals of ancient lore, seeking the key to break the spell that held the princess and her kingdom captive. Through tireless study and unwavering perseverance, he uncovered the long-forgotten incantation that could awaken the sleeping beauty and restore her realm to its former glory.
With trembling hands, Citrin spoke the words of power, his voice resonating through the silent halls of the castle. A faint tremor rippled through the air, and suddenly, the princess stirred from her slumber, her eyes fluttering open for the first time in centuries.
As the princess awoke, so too did her kingdom, awash in the brilliant light of dawn. The clouds parted, revealing a world transformed by the breaking of the enchantment. Joyous cries filled the air as the people of the kingdom emerged from their timeless sleep, eager to embrace the dawn of a new era.
Grateful for Citrin’s bravery and unwavering spirit, the princess bestowed upon him a crown of clouds, declaring him a hero of legend and protector of their realm. And so, with the dawn’s first light, the kingdom soared once more, high above the skies, forever free from the darkness that had threatened to consume it.
As the kingdom basked in the warmth of the newly risen sun, a sense of jubilation spread among its inhabitants. The once-slumbering clouds now echoed with laughter and music, as the princess and her people celebrated their newfound freedom.
Citrin, hailed as a hero throughout the kingdom, was honored with a grand feast in his honor. The streets were adorned with colorful banners and ribbons, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of freshly baked pastries.
Amidst the festivities, the princess approached Citrin with gratitude shining in her eyes. She thanked him for his bravery and selflessness, expressing her eternal gratitude for breaking the curse that had held their kingdom in thrall.
In the days that followed, Citrin was welcomed as a beloved member of the royal court, his wisdom and courage sought after by all who dwelled within the clouded realm. Together, he and the princess worked tirelessly to ensure the prosperity and happiness of their people, forging a bond that would endure for generations to come.
As time passed, the kingdom flourished, its skies teeming with life and energy once more. Tales of Citrin’s heroism spread far and wide, inspiring countless others to embrace courage in the face of adversity.
And so, under the watchful gaze of their benevolent princess and their fearless champion, the kingdom soared ever higher, a beacon of hope and resilience in a world filled with magic and wonder.
Best.
