From the highest peak of heaven, he hears a human’s cries. The dragon guarding the castle had not heard a human speak for hundreds of years. The cries are coming from In a land of moss-covered peaks and valleys lush with trees looms the fortress of Tapekeeness Kingdom. The dragon’s heart is immediately moved. Following the cries coming from the land, the dragon moves.
Before us, the dragon was everything. The king of this land, the tallest mountain, knew what we didn’t: our time on earth was short-lived. Once the dragon reached the land, in the forest stood a young girl, a toddler, afraid, scared, and alone.
The dragon looked down upon the small girl and thought to itself, "I am a hero." Be a hero. Be a hero and protect. The small girl looked on in awe as the beast of a creature came towards her, and all she could do was stare. The dragon looked down upon the young girl and spoke, "Do not be afraid child, I will protect you."
The dragon noticed something odd about the girl as he approached her and grinned. He then recognized that the girl had dragon blood because he could see it in her eyes and smell it originating from her.
"Wait, who are you?" said the dragon.
"Abakan."
The dragon couldn't believe what he was seeing when he realized that the prophecy about a dragon queen ruler emerging from the dragon and human bloodlines was accurate; she would fight the evil one and receive her strength from the spirits of the ancients. As a result of this prophecy, Abakan was born as a unique person endowed with numerous magical abilities.
The dragon points his finger at Abakan and grunted. Abakan thought for a moment before sprinting towards this imposing creature to climb him like a tree. A magnetic connection is formed as Abakan rubs the dragon.
As she rubbed the dragon, his vision connected with hers. As he transported her vision into his mind, she could see the world from his perspective.
In the year 1000 BC, during a solar eclipse, the sky turned deep red, ancient dragons from all tribes fought.
For centuries, they had been locked in a struggle between good and evil. The dragons were born with powerful magic running through their veins, and their mounts were equally as strong. On one side stood the forces of good, while on the other side lurked those of evil.
As the two sides faced each other down, it was a battle like no other. This was no ordinary solar eclipse, though; it was one that would determine the fate of the world. But now they would fight one final battle. The winner would be granted ultimate power and control over the world.
The world was thrown into chaos and disorder when the great battle broke out. All sense of peace and tranquility was destroyed in an instant, leaving only destruction and devastation in its wake.
All lands were ruled by dragons in the distant past. Because of their arrogance and greediness, the universe's creator decided to punish them. The all-powerful creator chose to make humans the earth's defenders and sent the dragons to the heavens as punishment.
But now the humans weren't powerful enough to defend the regions since the evil wizard Doomerist was reported to have magic flowing through his veins that was said to be originating from the devil himself.
Dooriest, who wanted to be in charge, turned all the kids he could catch into slave monsters. The only option to save humanity was to break the curse, but that would require the future dragon queen to mature first.
The dragon shed tears as he realized that there was a chance of hope and that the curse was lifting because he was permitted to depart heaven's castle.

CONVOKE
My name is Nicole Lunar. I am twenty-four years old. I live in Bellefontaine, Ohio, in the woods. My great aunt left me a cabin house after she passed away. The house, which is composed of cement and wood, is isolated from the rest of the town. My great aunt didn't have any children, so after graduating with a graphic design degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago, I relocated here in search of a new beginning with a slower pace and to be inspired by new creative ideas. Rather than living in a metropolis, which has more pollution and traffic, I’ve been living here for six months now.

The House that Vanished to the Stars.
In the little, calm town of Woodsville, settled in the moving slopes of the open country, stood a curious little house with a blue entryway. This house was extraordinary to me, since it was my home, but since it held endless recollections of my experience growing up, my family, and the existence I'd worked inside its walls. Much to my dismay, it was going to set out on an excursion a long ways past whatever I might envision.

Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Published on the 18th of May, 1953, ‘Go Tell it on the Mountain’ became the book that James Baldwin is probably most famous for. Including the very real impacts of violence upon the African American community during a time of turbulence for Civil Rights, James Baldwin became an absolute superstar not just of his race, but of the oppressed in every situation, in every country, all over the world. From Palestine to the Civil Rights Movement, from the LGBTQA+ to Muslim Migrants from war-torn countries, James Baldwin is the voice of the oppressed not just through the way he presents the division, but the way he presents a reality that the oppressors could not possibly be aware of. A reality in which every day is a fight to survive. What makes this even more real is that this is a semi-autobiographical novel. In my personal opinion, James Baldwin was the most articulate man in history.
