The Scales
There weren’t always dragons in the valley… But when they do appear sometimes the sky seems to talk. Amongst the moments of lost time when your dreams are heavy like the wide universe above, and the songs of the birds sing that humble tune that is when the sky can become like a voice.

The Chalciren
Make sure to check out the narration video! Without further ado: There weren’t always Dragons in the Valley. Long ago, a people fought valiantly to drive them from the land. They called themselves the forerunners, and they would not give up what little peace they found. Swords gripped firm and shields held high, they fought doggedly to whatever ends, and from the ashes of dragon fire, they stood victorious. The defeated dragons admired the forerunners bravery despite their dispute. This was not the first of the forerunner's hardships.

Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Analysis
“The 14th century was seen as a time of great concern over idols and idolatry”(141), it almost seemed sinful to have symbols such as the cross, or images of religious beings in the church, which is evidently breaking the first commandment, which forbids to praise or worship of graven images/idols. The poet of Sir Gawain uses a lot of biblical and religious references in the text, but that does not help specify the time period in which the book was written, because religious references throughout the years were and are stated in literature very often, it is not uncommon to do so.So the use of these references does not affect the time of the writing or the text. I suspect that Sir Gawain and the Green Knight was written in the 14th century; there are three common narrative elements that take place: the beheading, exchanging of winnings and temptation, which were constantly repeated in the 14th century literary world. However, some may argue that these literary elements were repeated in the 18th century as well. If you look at Arthurian literature the beheading, exchanging of winning and temptation are all presented in the texts as well.

Stolen innocence
The school bell rang and it was a race to go home changed into our cut off jeans, and flip- flops. We would check the fridge for snacks and off we go. On any given day you could find seven to ten kids, racing to to beach; jogging at our own pace. Once our feet hit the sands we kicked off our slippers, some would dive into the water like pelicans. We entered the water like rowdy cow-boys.
