Storyteller’s Creed

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.

That myth is more potent than history.

That dreams are more powerful than facts.

That hope always triumphs over experience.

That laughter is the only cure for grief.

And I believe that love is stronger than death.

Take a Look Around...

"Oh, No, I'm Gonna Die Today..."

...to quote Ethan Daniels.
Dreamer FINALLY finished Chapter 3 of A Text to Save the World. Here it is, in its entirety:

Chapter 3
“They Have the Boy!”

Now, as I found out later, a few feet away from where I was standing, a teenager was having a major crisis.
“Blast! Does Simile know yet?” The raven-haired eighteen-year-old lifted a two-way radio to his mouth. “Hello? Yes, this is Xaq. They have the boy!” Xaq told the person on the other line.
“Evan Peterson’s son?”
“Uh-huh.”
“Oh, Xaq, that is perfectly okay. Just ask the boy a few questions and report back to me. Just make sure you ask the boy those questions,” A silk-like voice said from the other end of the two way radio.
 “But---!”
“It will be all right Xaq, goodbye,” said Simile.
            “Yes, Simile. ‘Bye.” Xaq shoved the two way radio back into his pocket.

That's it. Vice President Raistlin is going to write Chapter 4. He has 2 weeks, pretty much. 
Also, Horse Love and Tiger are having a BIRTHDAY on Wednesday!!! Happy birthday, you two! (Or early birthday, anyway.)
We had a musical practice on Saturday, and it worked quite well. A week from Saturday, we'll have the next one. And here are the promised lyrics to Something More and Once Upon a Time. 

SOMETHING MORE
Silver Lining: Take a look at a story
One that you’ve heard before
What makes you love it?
It’s just that it is yours
And nobody’s but yours.
Take a look at the world,
And there’s a thousand tales.
There is always a song,
Always something more to sing…
All: I wonder if I’m
Thinking too hard
I wonder if maybe my story’s right there.

CHORUS
All: And it’s got
Kingdoms and castles and dungeons and princesses too!
Grumpy kings and a dragon or two
And it’s got
Everything from before and everything more,
It’s what I want it to be,
It’s got something more.

Silver Lining: It’ll have a wizard,
Maybe then a prince
How about a hero?
All: Maybe he’ll fall in love
And she won’t love him back
Silver Lining: I hope it’s what you want.
‘Cause it’s what I’ve got,
All: And it’s all I’ve got to give…

CHORUS
All: And it’s got
Kingdoms and castles and dungeons and princesses too!
Grumpy kings and a dragon or two
And it’s got
Everything from before and everything more,
It’s what I want it to be,
It’s got something more.
It’s got something more
Yeah…

BRIDGE
Everything
And nothing
It’s what I want it, what I want it to be

CHORUS
And it’s got
Kingdoms and castles and dungeons and princesses too!
Grumpy kings and a dragon or two
And it’s got
Everything from before and everything more,
It’s what I want it to be,
It’s got something more.
And it’s got
Kingdoms and castles and dungeons and princesses too!
Grumpy kings and a dragon or two
And it’s got
Everything from before and everything more,
It’s what I want it to be,
It’s got something more.
It’s got something more

And it’s so old,
And it’s so new,
Silver Lining: And it’s got more
All: Than you can imagine,
More than you can imagine
It’s got life and light and love,
And something more

And now, the lyrics for Once Upon a Time:

ONCE UPON A TIME
Silver Lining: Once in a land far, far away
The sun rises from day to day
But yet, somehow, the light doesn’t seem to come
(VILLAGERS 1 AND 2 ARE TALKING CONFIDENTIALLY)
Villager 1: Something is wrong, no one knows what,
Villager 2: And no one cares, nobody but,
Villager 1: One person who is looking for the light
All: We can’t wait anymore
We’re ready to see
Little Girl: Some bit of light before me!

CHORUS
All: Once upon a time
No reason or rhyme
Were across the land
On the sea and sand
Once upon a time
The darkness beat the light
And destroyed our sight
Once upon a time

Peter: Although right now, the world seems dark
I know that I will find a spark
To light up this blackening world again
Things just can’t be all that bad
Though thick and thin, and steep and sad,
There just has to be more to life than this
I can’t wait anymore
I’m ready to see
Some bit of light before me!

CHORUS
All: Once upon a time
No reason or rhyme
Were across the land
On the sea and sand
Once upon a time
The darkness beat the light
And destroyed our sight
Once upon a time

Peter: And when the waves begin to rise
And all my hope fails
Somehow, somewhere, in the night,
Someone will be there
All: Be there

CHORUS
All: Once upon a time
No reason or rhyme
Were across the land
On the sea and sand
Once upon a time
The darkness beat the light
And destroyed our sight
Once upon a time
Once upon a time
No reason or rhyme
Were across the land
On the sea and sand
Once upon a time
The darkness beat the light
And destroyed our sight
Once upon a time
The darkness beat the light
Once upon a time
Peter: We will regain our sight!
All: Once upon a time

There. Actually, in the final musical, we will have ONE original song, called "You Ain't Seen Anything Yet". 
More fun to come tomorrow. (Possibly...)

P.S. Ah, yes, Tiger! I would like you to mention something in my bio about my constant advertisement of AIO and The Ceiling Fan. I wrote Dreamer's bio (I'm not done yet).
