To Kill a Manticore
By Jordan H.

“Dax…Dax…Dax.” Dax awoke to a woman in a white shirt with so many paint stains covering it that it no longer looked white at all. She was also wearing a black skirt outlined with blue lacing. Her hair was red and brushed so that it hung just below her shoulder. Her face was smooth as a sword and her eyes were flashing with worry. Dax knew this woman as Sitas, or his mother. Dax replied in a tired tone,” I’m up, I’m up.” Sitas let out a sigh of relief proving that she had been worried.
“Your first day of work is today.” Sitas had a job in a nearby farm and had been trying to get him a job for a while. They needed the money for they lived in an only four room cottage. Dax’s room was a small space with a bed made out of grass (which to Dax was surprisingly comfortable). He had a small dresser which held his seven pairs of clothes. Last he had a dresser the size of his two hands which were scrawnier than dried worms.  His mother’s room was slightly larger than his with a leather bed that squeaked more than a dying mouse.  She had a mirror which sometimes was the only thing she looked at which concerned Dax.  She also had a window smaller than Dax’s.
The cottage also had a dining room which had a table as big as a full grown wolf.  They had chairs up to Dax’s knees.  It also had a fireplace about one foot by three feet that they used for an oven.  The last room was a bathroom with a shower, only with ice cold water, and a toilet which was starting to rust.
Dax got out of his bed and headed toward the dresser.  He was a strong and athletic boy with black shaggy hair and he was usually dirty for he couldn’t withstand three minutes in the cursed shower.  His normal look was a brown shirt, khaki jeans, sandals, and a string vest.  After he was dressed Dax headed to catch up with his mother.
He had to work in a lot of jobs, for after his father died they had a shortage on money.  Sitas said she was scarred for life but she got over it just as quickly.  Sitas and Dax headed to the village a quarter mile north from there.  As always the village was full of traders and soldiers looking for people to ship off to war.  Dax would be old enough to go to war after his next birthday.
The village smelled of smoke and raw meat which made Dax cringe his nose.  Dax hated going to the village but he went for his mother.  After they were through the village Dax and his mother headed toward the farm for his new job.
During the first few hours of farm work Dax felt very tired.  He had spent most of his time cleaning the stalls which to him smelled worse than his bathroom.
For the past couple days Dax noticed that his mother was becoming slower than usual which Dax paid no attention to for she was never fast moving in the first place.  Then Dax's urgency burst forth as he watched his mother fall to the ground.  Dax ran to his mother as fast as his scrawny little legs could carry him.  Once he reached her he noticed that she was breathing very heavily.  “Sitas…Mother…What happened? Are you ok?”
“Help, help, someone please help,” Dax yelled. The old couple he worked for ran out from their hut. 
             “What has happened,” the old man bellowed.
Once they were upon them Sitas sputtered.  “I feel completely normal, what has happened?”  No one knew what happened for pain had never been felt by anyone before.
“We will go fetch some water,” the old woman said. After the old couple was inside a harsh rain poured upon Dax and his mother.  Dax’s face was warm so the rain felt like thousands of sharp needles on his warm cheeks.  Suddenly a bolt of lightning landed right in front of Dax and his mother.  A human like figure stood in front of Dax.  After his vision cleared up Dax realized that standing in front of him was none other than king of the gods…standing in front of them was Zeus.
“Dax,” the king said.  The god’s voice was surprisingly rough.  He was dressed in a toga, sandals, and a grass crown.  He was very burly with a black beard and big puffy hair.  “I am here of assistance.”  Dax was speechless for he was in the presence of a legend. 
            “Y…y…yes my king.”  To Dax’s surprise the god had a gentle like expression on his face. 
            “I have come to tell you that the reason of your mother’s failure is because she has had cancer for 20 years now.”
“She is as healthy as you, let alone sick.”  Then he realized he was yelling at the god and bowed his head in apology.
“Sometimes, even the most powerful of forces can stay dormant until they are ready to strike.”
“But she has never shown any sign of cancer,” Dax yelled.
“She has been hiding her symptoms as best she could so you would not worry.”
“Why…tell me why.” Dax was beginning to cry.
“She was afraid you would do something dangerous to save her.”
“If that’s what must be done than I will.  What do I do?”
“I can save her but I need you to do a favor for me first. I need you to kill the manticore.”
“That’s mad,” shouted Dax.
“It is your choice.”  Then just like that the god vanished.  Dax was weeping for he had no idea what he was going to do.  Finally he decided to face the manticore.
Dax was pacing back and forth for he didn’t know where to start.  He had no experience in hunting.  He only had a rusty pocket knife.  He also had no idea where the manticore was.  Dax was about to give up when a strike of lightning flashed outside.  In that spot were a sword, a shield, and a note.
The note said: “Dear Dax.  I have sent you these things to help you on your quest.  I have brought you a sword that is sharp enough to cut through the manticore skin.  The shield is strong enough to withstand the manticore poison.  I only send you on this mission for the only its poison can cure your mother.  I wish you best of luck on your quest.  Sincerely, Zeus.”
Dax looked mindlessly at the magic weapons.  He picked up the sword and found it to fit perfectly in his tiny hands.  He lifted the shield which gleamed with its bronze coating.  What he found on the back surprised him even more.  On the back was a map to the manticore.
When the old couple returned he had told them what transpired.  “How is that possible?” said the old man.
‘I don’t know but it happened and I’m going.”  With that Dax ran off to kill the deadly manticore.
Dax had been running for nearly an hour before he started running out of breath.  He finally found the forest where the manticore lived.  After he caught his breath he headed forward.  The forest was littered with the bones of fallen soldiers.  Finally Dax came upon a cave where he saw the glowing eyes of the manticore.
Dax held his breath for he was scared out of his mind.  “Welcome to my lair.”
“Who said that?”  Dax looked around for anyone but no one was there.  Then he realized that it was the manticore that was talking.
The manticore walked out showing his fangs.  The manticore was in the shape of a lion, had a human face, and had a scorpion tail.  Dax quickly pulled out his sword and shield.  Before he could say a word the manticore pounced.  When he opened his eyes he was on the ground under the manticore.  The manticore stabbed at him but he blocked it with his shield drawing it into the shield.  Then in one swift motion he stabbed the beast in the ribs.  Then with one yowl the monster fell permanently silent.  Dax stood up and winced as his sword was ripped out of the manticore's flesh.  He smiled at his victory.
When he got back Dax healed his mother and was invited to Mt. Olympus, he gradually accepted.  When he was there Zeus said, “For your bravery I will grant you one wish.”
Dax replied “I wish for pain.”  Zeus looked at him with a blank expression. 
“Pardon me?”
“My mother almost died from no feeling.  I wish for pain.”   The gods granted his wish and Dax and his mother lived happily forever more.

Nico and Princess Aella
By E.G.

“Oh he’s so cute!” said Aphrodite so excitedly her husband Nike jumped.
            “Well of course he is. He’s the son of Aphrodite. The goddess of beauty!” replied the tired but ecstatic Nike.
            The couple just had their first baby. They named him Nico.
            A short 15 years later Nico was going a mission to save a princess. The princess’s name was Aella. Nobody ever saw princess Aella. Rumor had it that she was locked up in an ancient tunnel under the palace.
            “No, don’t go!” cried Aphrodite. She didn’t approve of the mission.
“Mother, she could be in suffering. You could stop me, and be responsible for if she survives or not!” Nico replied angrily.
            Aphrodite couldn’t say that he couldn’t go after Nico had put it that way.
            “Fine if you must go.” She said feeling beat. She walked away hoping her son would return.
            “You are no match for the all mighty son of king Otto the 2nd,” said prince Otto the 3rd.
            “Another one of these goons?” said the annoyed Nico
            Ting,  Ting swords were clashing.
            “Uh, why?” the prince was now pinned to a wall, and Nico stood in front of the prince with victory on his side!
            “Princess? Are you here,” said Nico ecstatic to be in the legendary tunnels that were rumored to be under the ancient palace!
            “Go away,” said the princess “I’m hideous!”
            “No princess can be hideous,” Replied Nico calmly.
The princess slowly stepped out of a chamber. The princess was right she was hideous! Nico made a wish it was a wish to his mother.
            “Mother please make her pretty. Never again let anyone pick on her and tell her she is hideous. Please!”
            Slowly the princess was lifted in the air and as slowly back down. Although this time she was beautiful, so beautiful that any boy would dream over her!
            “Princess Aella will you take my hand in marriage,” Asked Nico
            “No I am hideous,” screamed the princess in return
            “Oh but princess you are not hideous,” said Nico sweetly! “You can even look for yourself!”
            Nico handed Princess Aella a hand mirror.
            “Oh my gosh,” and the and the hand mirror broke “Yes Nico I will marry you!”
            They had a wedding that only gods can dream of! It was high above the clouds. Later on Nico and Aella had a baby girl, her name was Tiana! Tiana grew up to be the mother of Hercules! As for Nico and Aella they grew old, but lived happily ever after!

How the Sky Became Blue
By Mady C.

Once upon a time, on a hot, hot day, Bailifeena was on a morning stroll changing the color of the sky, Red, Blue, Green, and Purple. When all of the sudden lightning struck and clouds rolled in… “Who dare disturb my sky’s color?!?” growled the king of gods, Zeus.
“It is I Bailifeena, goddess of the sky color,” said the harmless Bailifeena.
“I am tired of my sky changing color over, and over, and over again! It hurts my eyes and is making them dilate too much.”
“What would you like me to do, sire?”
“You, Bailifeena, goddess of the sky color must go out and find a MORTAL to help YOU.”
“But I can’t have a mortal help me they aren’t supposed to help us, we are supposed to help them!!”said Bailifeena.
“You dare yell at me?!?” boomed Zeus, “You will be punished!!”
“Yes sire, sorry sire.” said Bailifeena “I will go now.”
“On you go.”
          And so Bailifeena was off on her journey meanwhile……. Mackidella, the poor mortal was just leaving to get milk from her cow, “MOM!! I will be back; I am going out to get some milk from Betsy!!”
“Ok, hurry back!” yelled her mom from her room while reading her favorite and only book. And so she went to go get milk from the cow meanwhile……. On the other side of Megara, Bailifeena was in mourn over how she needs a mortal to help her, “OHHH!! Why do I need a MORTAL to help ME?!?” just then all of a sudden BUMP! “Ow!”  said Mackidella and Bailifeena simultaneously.
“Who are you?” said Mackidella.
“I am Bailifeena, goddess of the sky color! And who might you be I ask?” said Bailifeena firmly.
“I am Mackidella of Megara!”
“Oh good, a mortal! Listen I need you to help me find the col…” Bailifeena was interrupted.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait! You need ME a poor mortal to help YOU!?! You are the goddess of sky color and you need ME to help YOU!?! That’s preposterous! Are you pulling my leg?” Mackidella said laughing
“No, No, No, I am not pulling your leg, I just need you to help me find the color of the sky. Please, please, please!!!! Will you help me?
“Ok, but only because you said please………. 3 times.”
          And they were off to the top of Mt. Olympus. “Finally we’re here! Zeus! Zeuuuuuus!!!
“Yeeeessss??” said Zeus.
“We found the color of the sky!” said Bailifeena excitedly
“What shall it be and why?”
“It is going to be Blue, because everyone says water would look waaaayyyy better if it were blue right?” said Mackidella
“Yes,” said Zeus.
“Weeeellll since the water is clear the sky will reflect in the water and therefore the water will be Blue.”
“Ok-“Zeus got interrupted.
“WAIT I don’t want the sky to be Blue I want it to be Purple,”said a mortal.
“Well I want the sky to be Green!!” said another poor mortal.
“Well I am on Bailifeena’s side.”
“Yeah me too!” All of the sudden a war broke loose. Fist were flying and so were rocks. Then there was only about 50 out of the hundreds of people that were in the war were standing and two of them were Zeus and Bailifeena sadly Mackidella died but Bailifeena had won. Bailifeena looked at Zeus and he nodded as if to say change the sky to Blue. And that is how the sky became Blue.

Madamae With Flowers
By Hailey G.

Long ago in Greadrea, Greece there once was a goddess named Madamae. She could heal the dead. She wore a lavender dress, and a headdress of a big flower. In her land all the flowers are dead and she has to heal them all in 56 hours. (4 days)
One day as a little kid, Madamae was walking through the woods. As she was walking through the woods she saw something it was all black. She thought it was nothing, until she heard a witch laugh. Then all of a sudden BAM! She was turned into a goddess and had a goal. It was she had to heal every flower in Greadrea, her home town. “What happened?” Madamae asked herself.
She didn’t know what happened so she tried to find her mom but she couldn’t, but then she looked at herself and she was all pale. Then she thought “I need to get going on healing the flowers.”
Then she touched a flower thinking it would work and it did. So she started touching every flower in site. Then one day passed and Greadrea was a big town and full of dead flowers. So she started working some more.
Another day went by and she got half the town down. She went to Zeus and Zeus said, “You have done half the town now you need to finish the rest.”
“I will!” Madamae replied.
Then she went on her way. She started on the other half of the town. She only got half of the half she was supposed to do. “I can finish the rest tomorrow. I’m tiered.” She said. Then the day was over… One day left to finish.
Towards the end of the day she thought she was done… until she went to Zeus and he said, “You still have one more flower left. You need to hurry up and get to your house and touch that flower! GO GO GO!!!!!!!!”
Then she went to her house and she had a minute left…5, 4, 3, 2, 1! “I TOUCHED IT! IM DONE! I’M A LITTLE KID NOW YAY!!!! she screamed.
Finally, she ran into her house and said, “Mom I missed you so much!” If she didn’t touch that last flower she would have been a goddess forever. Now she actually gets to spend her life free. She lives happily ever after.

Mr. Crackers
By Colton H.

 A long time ago, atop Mt. Olympus, a boy was born. His name was Mr. Crackers. Mr. Crackers grew up to be the god of crackers. He made sure that crackers could and would be shared by everyone. Then one day, Mr. Crackers was looking around and spotted an old, scrawny scientist who had just invented the salted cracker.  When he saw this, he needed to know more. He transformed to a mortal and went to the man’s house. He asked the man for his name. The man said his name was Mr. Sanchez.
            “Shall you have any crackers?” said Mr. Crackers.
            “Indeed I do. I’ll be right back,” Said Mr. Sanchez.
            “Thanks,” said Mr. Crackers.
            “Here you go,” said Mr. Sanchez.
            When Mr. Crackers got back to Mt. Olympus, he realized that there was no salt on these crackers. Then he found out that Mr. Sanchez was keeping this a secret. He decided to reveal the truth to the world and expose this brilliant idea to the world. A couple days later he went down as his normal self and ate Mr. Sanchez whole. Then he found the crackers but no salt. He had an idea. He took all the crackers he could carry and brought them up to Mt. Olympus. He went to the kitchen of the temple and grabbed a lot of salt. He came back and sprinkled salt on all of them. Then he threw them off of Mt. Olympus and watched as it rained salted crackers all over Greece. That is how the salted cracker came to be.

All About Heronices
By Andrew L.

A long long time ago in a far far far away city-state, a god was born named Heronices. The reason why he had that name was because his father (Heron) and his mother (Spartanica) wanted to mix a little bit of their names together so everybody knows that it is the son of Heron and Spartanica. It was for told that one day he was to save the world from its end by an alien so he said, “I will do it when the day comes.” When he was born, he got magical armor from his parents so he wouldn’t get cursed by anybody.
          He has the powers of freezing time, catch stuff on fire, and can destroy one memory of another person or god or goddess or monster or alien for each day. He got the catch stuff on fire power from his father. He got his freezing time and destroy 1 memory powers from his mother. He had the most unique powers of all gods and goddesses.
          He has fire hair and brown, yellow, orange, and pink skin from his father. He has three eyes (the pupils are black and the rest of the eyes are blue), green eye brows, and his arms are ice and he gets this all from his mother. He has black pants that he puts on. He does and doesn’t look cool.
          His personality is he is always happy, but he says it in a mad way. Whenever he hears good news he says it like this, “I’m getting married,” without any happy tone. One day when he was at his happiest he almost said something happy. Some day he will say something happy.
          He just now turned thirteen, yah! Now he has to battle the alien and he said,”I will kill you alien.” First he used his freeze time power and then he used his catch stuff on fire power then he realized that he had one more power so he destroyed the memory of wanting to destroy the world and the alien left the world forever. He saved the world and was so happy that for once he finally said something happy like this, ”I’ve saved the world!” with a happiness tone.

The Holo Sphere
By Fausto Gomez

This story is of my short life and how I started something called war.
“Wait for me.”
“Hey come on.”
All my life, I was a normal boy. I fought with my sister, I played with my friends, and every two weeks when we have enough money I would go to school. Today I’m playing with my friends, and we were causing mischief. We made the Shepard run after his sheep and he yelled as he ran after his sheep,
“You will anger the gods and I hope they have mercy on your souls!”
All we did was look and laugh, but inside me I felt he was right.
Today I finally have enough money to go to school. I have 250 drachma.
When I got to the school gate of Fausto’s So Awesome School For Boys, I saw the school gate was wide open. When I walked in I thought to myself, “I guess I won’t pay the fee.”
But then I was paralyzed when I saw blood coming to my feet. Then I thought and I yelled, “It’s not funny guys!” Then I saw Alfred the son of the school owner and behind him was a large man with an ax. He yells at me, “RUN CLEON RUN!”
I turned and ran with Alfred behind me and the man behind us. Then the next thing I know a spear fell from the heavens with the name Athena carved in to it.
It stabbed the man, but I kept on running. Alfred stopped running.
I ran in to a cave. In the center of the cave I saw a sphere. One side was white and it felt safe, but the other side was dark and it felt cold with lots of hatred. I thought of what I saw and like the blink of an eye, I went back in time 20 minutes back when I saw the blood. Coming to my toes and the black side was glowing red. Then I thought of me this morning in my bed and like the blink of an eye, I went back in time to this morning. My fun didn’t last long because the sphere broke to little pieces and went inside of me.
The next thing I knew, I was at Olympics and Hades yelled in my face,
“WHERE IS IT?”
I replied, “What?”
He said, “The holo sphere!”
I said very shy, “It’s inside me”
He answered with a rage, “I WILL RIP IT OUT OF YOU!”
Zeus walked in the room and screamed, “YOU TOUCH THAT BOY you will break the nine commandments!”
Hades said, “The holo sphere is mine.”
Zeus said, “And with it you can control all of the gods.”
Hades said, “if you won’t give it to me we will start something horrible. This is war.”
And ever since that day Zeus and Hades fought over me because of the holo sphere inside me.  To this day, there has been war all because of me, Cleon Jason the 4th.

The Great Goddess Tangled
By Victor O.

Hello my name is Tangled Smith. My dream is to become a queen like my mother, but my sister is older, prettier, and she will be queen someday instead of me.
My power is to have really long hair so I can choke my enemies. I also have a power if that anyone tries or does cut my hair the world explodes into little pieces flowing in space. So till this day I always keep a pair of scissors. My other power is to fly like a bird.
My personality is nice. The thing I hate about me is that I have to kill my enemies, and I don’t like that. When I kill my enemies I regret it. I still think that I should bring them back to the village, but my king does not let me.
Finally after I have been fling for days, I am exhausted. My goal is to free my people, and slay the dragon that was going to eat my people and destroy my village. I secretly sneaked past the guards. As I looked in every room to find my people, I saw them in a cage. An evil king was about to let a dragon free so that the dragon can eat them until he saw me. The evil king screamed “Get her!“ I was out numbered so I had to give up.
Next, when the guards caught me, I couldn’t break out. It was too strong, if only I had super strong powers. Luckily they didn’t know about my hair powers. Eventually I thought of a plan, I would choke the guards. Then I would untie the cage my people were in and they will untie me. All the people said thank you so much. After that I showed them the way out, I had some business to take care of.
I told my people to wait outside. Luckily when I was looking for the room my people were in I saw the king’s room. I was going to kill the king, he had to die. When I opened his door he started laughing and clapping at the same time. I quickly tried to use my hair to choke him, but he got up and dodged it. When I told him that if I cut my hair the world explodes, and I had some scissors in my hand. “I always keep a pair just in case.” So he just gave up. I went outside and asked my people if they had rope so I can tie the king up. I tied everybody to my hair so we can go.
When I got back I had showed my mother what I have done. She was so surprised that she was going to make me queen. When my mother had told my sister she was so jealous. She said if I find a man today she will make me a party because the queen will need a king. So I went to the park to find a man and I saw the perfect man for me. So we got together and he decided to marry me. The next day my mother planed the party and we lived happily ever after.

The Sick Queen
By Amanda S.

One day the queen wanted to take a nap. Her servant poisoned her last meal and she stared to sweat really badly. She yelled, “Help!” Her servant ran inside and pretended like he cared but he didn’t. His name was Arthes, but he was called Arty for short. He was evil, but around the queen he is like a tulip. He left and said, “I’ll be back with some water”. He never came back.
The king came in the room and saw that the Saw that the queen had fainted. He told the nurse to cure her, but she couldn’t. She needed to find Ergsivia so his sting can heal her. “Where does he live I’ll find him!!!!!!!!” The king said.
“No!” If you do he will kill you!! The nurse said.

“The god of the sky. Zeus will tell him to help the queen, but it will be risky. He can poke in the wrong spot and she will die in a lot of pain,” The nurse said.
We went to Zeus and he said, “Ergsivia lives in the biggest cloud to the west. You can’t miss him. He is huge!!”
“Well actually we need you to because we don’t want to die,” said the king.
“O.k. then I will tell him to come save your queen. Good day.”
“Thank you sir.” the king said.
As we flew off we made it back to the castle. By the next day Ergsivia was here, and he said he could only do it with the queen’s permission.
As Ergsivia jabbed his stinger in the queen’s stomach,  her eyes widened and closed she woke up feeling perfectly fine. She acted like nothing happened. When they found out that arty poisoned her he was sacrificed and it never happened again.

AWESOMENOSOROUS !
By Sharese N.

Once there was a creature called AWESOMENOSOROUS. The creature got its name from its parents, the creature mom was a NOSOROUS. Awesomenosorous‘s mom was very sweet, her name was Konosorous. She was very smart, funny and nice. She would so do anything for her daughter, AWSOMENOSOROUS!!!! J
         Awsomenosorous’ father was a dinosaur called Awesomeness. He was also named after both of his parents. He sometime wished that he wasn’t, he never told anyone that he had wished that. Sometimes he doesn’t really know what he really wants. Any way he was funny, smart, strong, brave, and he was loyal. He would also do anything for his daughter!
        So now the family of dinosaurs lived very happy UNTIL……… one day there was a storm heading there way and they all started freaking out. They didn’t know what to do. They have never had this happen to them in their entire life. So all they did was run, they ran as fast as they could because they knew that the storm would take them out. The storm was going faster and faster and faster until….. All of a sudden the storm stopped and when they looked back there was NOTHING! Then a minute later the storm came back. Next then they started running again and AWSOMENOSOROUS was in the back and then AWESOMENSOROUS saw a castle way up head. About a mile they all were hoping that the storm would be over.
          All of that hoping paid off by half way through the storm stopped for good. They all decided to keep going till they reached the castle. As they came up to the castle they saw a beautiful young girl. Her name was Princess Aleana. She was in the garden watering the plants. If she wasn’t signing papers or taking care of other things then she would be in the garden watering to plants like she was then.
          All of a sudden she heard big footsteps coming near her and as she heard them coming closer and closer she started calling the guards. As they came she saw what was on its way towards her and the castle. When she saw what was coming she wasn’t so afraid of it but she still thought she might need a little of protection. As the creatures came they all thought the same thing. They needed a sleeping dart. She was a little bit worried if the dart wouldn’t work because they have never tested it on a creature like that.
     After they stabbed the creatures they noticed that they didn’t fall asleep. They all wondered why, so they hired a scientist to see what was wrong and see why it didn’t work. As soon as they found out that they were magical and sent from the gods they all wondered who sent them, why did they send them.

The Earth’s Color
By K.P.
About 700 years ago, when our great aunt sisters walked the earth they discovered the scariest thing ….. A small grey cat. This cat was not just a small cute grey cat. This cat would grow 5times it size, and run through the city with bright red eyes. When this cat run through the city he would step on all the building.  
           About the same time there was this very poor family that lived in a 1 room cabin, this family would do whatever it took to get money. So one day they started out for the city to go see how much money they could get.
           When they get to the city they saw everything the cat had done to the city. They walked down the road and saw the king and queen waking down the road. The king was saying something but the poor family could not hear. As they walked down the road they can hear what the king was saying.        
           “Come, come, people of all ages, $ 500 dollars to the person that can kill and bring me back the heart of the grey cat,” said the king.
           “I will,” said the oldest boy.
           “No, a boy our size can kill the cat.”
           “Yes, I will kill that cat and bring you back the heart of that big bad cat,” said the oldest boy.
           “Find what is were name,” said the king.       
           “My name is Jason,” said the oldest.
           As Jason walked away he stopped and asked the king what he would kill the cat with and the king give him knife. “Here is a jar. Now off you go.”
            When Jason got to the grey cat, she was sleeping. He only had about 10 minutes before the cat would grow 5 times its size and wake up. Jason walked over to a tree that was right next to the cat. He would get up to the top of the tree and jump onto the cat and kill the cat.
             As Jason jumped off the tree he could see himself on top of Mt.  Olympus. He cut off the cats head and these bright colorful lights came out of the cat.
           When Jason had got back, the bright light had filled the city with color. As the light went around the world it filled with color.
           That is the story of how the earth got color.
