The Island
Born into a fired heat of passion, the sun and the moon brings forth the island. Small but strong, it shines around nothing but the deep dark blue sea. Surrounded but alone the island begins to grow. Trees sprout from the island’s fertile dirt, promising for long life and fresh fruit. The island had a very untraditional feel to it, there was a small mountainous region in the far east of the island where a small goop of lava purged itself high above it all. Sometimes a few drops would spew out, catching a small fire on the grassland, it would last for days; but never spread. And would not, and could not stay lit forever. In the west there is a large beach like opening, welcoming the sea onto the island. The sea would never go past the sand, the tide would come in, and come out and sometimes leave a gift for the island. Life. It would wash up fish, beautiful fish. All very different in there own respect. They were tall and small, thick and skinny, and smooth and rough. The sea only gave away 9 of their fish. But as the fish hit the grassland they became different, one became a bunny, another a snake, a kangaroo and a baby in it’s pouch. Strangely that was only one fish. The transformations continued. A two year old parrot, owl, a family of deer, sloth, hyena, and last but not least a gang of wild chimpanzees. The animals were reckless, tearing down trees and digging up the dirt, the chimps even dared to climb the mountain side and throw lava onto the grassland. As the chimps began to hurdle the lava onto the grassland, large fires emerged and engulfed part of the island. The chimps smiled in joy and giggled amongst there selves. And as the fires raged on, the chimps had noticed something in the morning sky which surprised them. The sun and the moon were right next to each other and were getting closer. Soon the sun and the moon had collided together and made a eclipse which surrounded the entire island. The raw beauty and power of the eclipse had blinded all the animals on the island. Then as soon as the flash came, it was over. The fires had disappeared and the chaos had calmed, the chimps looked around at the other animals, all trying to recover from the sun and moons combined rage. The chimps were very hesitant to throw the lava again, but they decided that it was to much fun just to stop. Then as the first chimp took a big scoop of lava, a roar so loud it sounded as if Zeus had thrown a thunderbolt down onto the island. The chimps then began to get upset at the strange loud voice, and demanded to see who it was. As that just came across, a large fully grown male lion had emerged near the top of a high rock, staring straight at the chimps. Then all the chimps gave the lion a hard stare back and scurried down the rocks, thinking that it wasn’t the right time.
The island was under control now, the pit of lava grew and the trees began to reach for the stars. In fact it seemed as if the whole entire island had grown. Sadly the prosperity didn’t last long. Heavy rain began to own the island and the large dark clouds blocked out the sun and the moon. It began to destroy what the lion had hoped for. The lion and all the other animals ran into their homes to protect themselves from the falling trees and harsh winds that plagued the island for many days. The lion began to weep heavily at the destruction and decided to sleep until the rain had stopped. As the rain had finally stopped it’s destruction of the island, the first animals that stepped outside were the chimps, who were enraged by the condition of there home. The chimps once again climbed the side of the mountain and began to chuck lava onto the grassland, but they also threw it on the ocean as well. The muddy grassland would let the flames arise for a bit, then they would calm down and disappear. As for the ocean, they would eat up the lava as if it was nothing. As the other animals finally came out of their homes they laid there eyes on the chimps acting out. Then the lion gave out two giant roars and the chimps once again settled down. The storms had hurt the lions soul and spirit greatly and the eternal glow he had shined so brightly before, started to dim. The chimps noticed. As the day had passed the parrot realized it was his 25th birthday, and as the oldest animal he was very proud. He began to show of his beautiful feathers and squawked something that sounded like “wisdom”, as the oldest he believed he was the wisest. The lion chuckled to himself at that. As the celebration continued the hyena snickered and made the other animals smile, besides the bunny who timidly hopped back to his home. But as the day became night the owl became aware of something and began to stare off into the stars of the night. The owl then began to shriek and the noise gave the rest of the animals a warning. They all began to rush back to there homes, unsure of what is to come they just trust the owls judgment. First the kangaroo and her baby hop quickly home, the baby shows uncontrollable love as she squeezes tightly on her mothers stomach. Then the snake slivered into its hiding hole. The parrot and the owl flew far out of sight, and the hyena giggled to himself as he dashed home; the deer flocked together and made their way home as a family. The sloth slowly but surely got home, and surprisingly the gang of chimps smartly climbed the tall trees of the island expecting the worst was yet to come. The lion purged himself high above it all on the rock that he first touched down on. Then as the lion looked over the entire island the silence of it all frightened him beyond belief. Then the roar of the waves were heard. The crashing of them on the hard mountains could be heard all across the island, the water was rising. The wave then raised over the entire island, casting a huge shadow over everything. The lion could only watch it dismay as everything fell apart right in front of him. The whole island was easily a small lake by the time the sea was done with it. Hurt and distort the lion never recovered from the attack and it’s glow was completely gone. The sun and the moon had disappeared all together and were never seen or heard from again, killing the lions soul even more, the only surviving animals were the Lion, Parrot, and Chimpanzees. The chimps were enraged beyond belief at the seas act’s against them and their home. The Chimps pleated to the lion to let them reek vengeance on the sea, and the lion just waved them off and let them do what they pleased. The Chimps danced with joy as they swam across the lake that was once their home and made there way to the still highly peeked lava pool. Each Chimp took a large scoop of the lava into there hands; it burned but they didn’t care. So one by one they threw the large amount of lava at the dreaded ocean, hoping for the destruction of the tyrant called the sea. But strangely the lava didn’t just get sucked up into the ocean as it did before, this time it engulfed and caught into a large rectangular space. It looked as if the gates of hell had opened there door to the island. Then it happened, the island began to get sucked up by this gate of hell. Taking the chimps the lion, and the parrot all. In fact the entire island was sucked up as if it was never even there. If you could look now you would see no sign of a island, just a calm dark blue sea, which had quieted down to nothing and then there was no sound, no motion. Then there was nothing.
