As the world was known, there existed three elements that could destroy the life as we know of. These elements were: Wood, dirt and water.
-Yahahaa! -exclaimed (?) cruising on water like a surfboard
-Tami, come on, faster, faster, hahaa! -chuckled (?)
My name is Don and my little sister was Tami, we live in a village near Bando County, we live by making magic shows with our power to other strangers.
I only have Tami and Tami only has me, we were unstoppable together
-Psst, hurry, Don, they ll catch us -whispered Tami
-Hayaaa, come back you! -screamed a butcher after Don
We were stealing food from the butcher, stealing fruits, stealing clothes, bread, anything that we could catch in our hands, I did the stealing mainly, Tami only held my back as I did the job, I don't want her to steal too.
As we stole, we were sharing it with the other orphan kids from our crib.
-We had a big community there, we were a family. After four years, I am still lying to Tami, she still doesn't know that our family had died because of the hooligans of this village.
We often used our powers to steal, but not everytime, only when it was necessary, but we have only one rule: We don't use the powers to hurt others.
-Don, you're back already?
-We got a haul, look at this Hosa -showed Don the meat to Hosa
-OHoooo, what a catch, prince, well done -said Hosa gently
-What can I say, I do what I can, haha
For some reason, everyone here calls me "prince" maybe because I take from the rich and give to the poors, like that boy with short pants, I forgot his name.
We lived our days in comfort, some of the days, but the other days it was just:
-RAID FROM THE POLICE, EVERYONE HIDE! -screamed one boy
Before the boy could say the whole sentence out loud, he had been shot in the back.
The gates of the crib were now opened.
We have one single rule: We don't use our powers to hurt the others
-Tami, take the others to our emergency place, I will take care of them
-But you know what we talked about!
-I know I KNOW, GO! -exclaimed Don
Don created a thick and tall wall made out of the dirt from the ground
-It's him, the freak, he created a wall out of dirt, DIG DIG DI -said a muffled voice
-Burn the whole place down, let the devils be crucified! -screamed another more manly voice.
-No... But you know what we talked about!
-Arggghh, Tami... no, I won't
The police took the other route around the crib, going to their emergency place
-I'm glad you are here, Derek, you are of a great help in exorcizing these devils, you were once one of them, right?
-Indeed I was, sir.
-But why did you leave? -asked the general
-I had to--
He was interrupted by a screaming
-NOOO!
There was a loud gun shot
The boy and the general quickly got there to see what had happened
-Soldier, what have you done? -asked the general angry
-It-it-i-i-t was an accident, I swear on my life, sir, as she saw my rifle, she tried to do something, I knew it! -said the soldier
-She probably wanted to do something devilish, well done, soldier, you got one devil brother, go back to the base for your promotion badge.
-Uh-huh... th-thank you, general -said the soldier running away
As they talked, Don was near them, watching from the shadows, he just remembered Tami's smile in his head, how innocent she was, but still, while she had nothing to do with anything, he was the one from behind the shadow, he knew it was his fault.
As he clenched his fist and tried to use his power, to cage everyone there in a cage of wood, to get burned down at the same time as the barn, or drown them into water, he didn't know which one to choose from. He had decided.
-GO TO HE--! -exclaimed Don, fading away
His anger was stopped by sugary water.
-My powers... my powe---..
Don had fainted.
-Well done, Derek, knowing that sweet water would neutralize his powers you splashed him with a full bucket of it! Very clever.
-Th-thank you. Sir. -said Derek respectfully
-Take this one and leave the sister here.
-But, sir, what... what about the other children?
As the general left the emergency place, he said
-Leave them here, their spirit is dead, they will do nothing without their leader.
The cold stare of the general, he was unbothered by the situation, almost like he didn't care about nobody else than him.
-O-Okay, sir! -exclaimed the other soldier
-We have to take some tests on the boy -said the general as he closed the door of the emergency place and enjoying the fire show of the barn
He looked back for a moment, a moment to memorize his actions, a moment of peace in his heart, a moment to chuckle.

PS: I transformed into a fantasy-type of story accidentally, but I think it came out good (I still used the respective words).

[Todoyama]

I always wanted to make friends
-Bethina, get lost, how can you even go out of your house with that hair?
-Fix your teeth, girly, you look like a donkey
They all laughed and laughed at my looks...
I felt like I was all alone in this world, no one to depend on, no one friendly, no shoulder to cry one when needed, only me, me and my empty refrigerator, me and my empty room, me and my blank mind, me and my blank apartment.
My father worked overseas and my mother was a school teacher, but she always stood for extra classes, but I surely know that she stays at Mr.Makao's home.. he is a teacher at the school that I went to a few years ago, after work, but she reminds herself that she has a daughter every fifteen hours or so, that's like nothing, nothing at all.
But there was one boy from the whole town that was kind to me. His name was Pao Nu.
Pao was a long statured boy with perfect and aligned teeth, long and shiny white hair and dark blue eyes, he dressed well for every occasion. When I met him he was always friendly with me, he made me feel comfortable. But that was five years ago, I haven't seen him in five years, the authorities told us that he just moved town, but I knew Pao and he wouldn't do such thing without saying something before that would happen, so I went to a mission, a mission of finding the perfect boy, Pao Nu.
It was the forth beginning of the summer, every summer I go out looking for him and I check out the places that I have been and I have asked for him.
First I walked my home town, but nobody could tell me anything, because apperently no one knew anything.
The second summer I went with the bus around local cities, searching for him, but nothing
At the start of the third summer, I slowly started to lose my motivation, I felt like all the hope was lost, but that was when:
"Comedy talent show, starring Pao Nu"
My entire mood had risen' up to the sky, I almost started to sing, I was so happy, so excited. The poster dated back in 2002, that was 2 years ago, I had to keep going, I searched for clues, I asked circuses, I asked shops, pawns, restaurants, people on the street, I found out that he was quite funny and popular, but only one single lady told me where he could be right now... Hungary.
At the start of the fourth summer, things were getting weirder and weirder.
I took the train to a country near Hungary, but I went to some old leads to just see if there should be something that had to be seen, I went to a nursing home, where I found a lot of old grandfathers and grandmothers, they pinched my cheeks really hard and my nose too. There I found Tete Pao, Pao's grandfather, he told me about his grandson, what his goal his, why he left, and so on, but in another language, he wrote it on paper, which I will be to understand if someone would translate it to me.
I kept going in Hungary, still searching, I went a few talent shows, only three places knew who Pao Nu was, they told me that he was here two years ago, and after he headed to Zagreb for a talent competition.
I slept in a motel for one night then went to Zagreb, with the train, the train arrived in nine hours, it was kind of a long and boring ride, but I couldn't keep my look off of the window, the outside of the train, the forests, the flowered plains, the daily sunset, it was amazing, I put my phone down and just stared at it, like I was hypnotized, the natural beauty of the beautifully formed grey clouds, the cracks of the sun in the cloudy sky, everything, it was just... stunning.
I arrived to Zagreb, the first man I have asked was Pao Nu's manager, the chances for this to happen were one in a billion, lucky me!
I told him everything and he told me, he did a phone call, he turned around, almost annoyed by me question, he looked ... and told me.
"He does not want to see you"
I asked him constantly "Why, why does he not want me?" "Did I do something wrong?"
He replied with "He said that, maybe in another life"
I went back home, I cried all the way on the walk, the train and the bus home, the stunning natural painting was now watered down, I could only see rivers and ponds in front of my eyes.
I went back home and went back to sleep, but I couldn't do it, but I had to, I could not live any longer with this kind of tiredness and stress on my head... I had to... take some... rest.
The next day I woke up, I was still in Zagreb
-Hmm... weird"
I looked around, I had no doubt it my mind, It was a dream, I was so happy.
I check my phone and I see one missed call and four new text messages.
Missed call: Pao Nu
Messages:
-Hey
-It's been a while
-Some friends told me that you are in Zagreb
-So... wanna grab a drink :3
My eyes reflected his wanted messages, the blue light of the phone was reflected on my face but I did not care, I just bit my lip, closed my eyes happily and hugged the phone for a few seconds and then I replied.
-Heyy!
-For sure, why not?
After all this time of searching for Pao Nu, I feel like this was more of an adventure for me, than the search of Pao Nu. I feel like it was more a story of the memories made along the day, while searching for my friend, was that Pao Nu's goal all this time, to revive my sense of life, my sense of existence, to give me a purpose of life? Maybe, but who I am to judge.

(I hope you like it, I changed the ending a few times :((

[Todoyama]

I thought I had it all, fame, money, power, a women that I loved, but no, he had it all... Ikose Mann, the strongest from this world. He toyed with me a while back ago, with it's talented abilities, and his cleverness. Since then, I have travelled the world in order to find the hardest and the most torturing way of training, I couldn't take the disrespect, I had to take back what's mine, my honor, but in order to do that, I knew what my job was.
In a southern village, I have found a women, a really well chiseled lady, I saw what she could do with her powers after taking down a horde of wild boars.
I went up to her and asked
"I saw what you can do... can you teach me too, please."
She replied with
"Okay, sure, why not?"
I wanted to thank her but... she continued
"-If you wash this whole village's clothes, in one week, tops."
My chin was on the ground, I had to pick it up before she could see it, but her words really shocked the man out of me, I knew I had no choice.
"Bet."
She chuckled and I had a new job
After one week of washing clothes, I could not feel my hands at all, I could barely move them, one by one, just like a skeleton, just like a possessed skeleton.
She said to me
"Well done"
I was so tired, I wanted to smile and reply to her, as I accidentally closed my eyes, I feel asleep. I have woken up tired, tired, way too tired, more tired than a human should be.
She stood there telling me
"Oh, traveller you have woken' up"
I was tied up, but why, did I do something.. no, it was another test.
As I struggled my way out of there she told me
"If you want your title back, pretty boy, you have to whisper your heart out, you have to yell your heart out, that is when the human instinct will kick in, your blood vessels from your throat will be ripped, destroyed, your throat will be swollen, if you can survive one week without important medical attention, water."
I had to yell one week... constantly, was she crazy or what... no, I was the crazy one for thinking nonsense about her teachings. As she said, I started yelling
"Atta boy" she said as she left, that is how I've spend one week in the forest, alone, screaming for one week straight, no water, no food, tied up for the animals to serve their meal.
After one week, she came back for me
"Well I'll be dammed, you really did it" -she said, releasing me
"How was it?" -she asked me
"Aa-hh... haa...-" I couldn't let a single word out
She untied the ropes that left a mark on my chest, arms and my clothes, she took me to the nursing home of the village, they fed me, gave me medical attention, hydrated me. After two days, it was time to see what I have achieved.
"We are done now, I guess this is a goodbye" -said the women
As she walked away, going back to the village, I whispered.
"Thank you."
After hearing it, she didn't move one bit and replied to me.
"That was the loudest whisper I have ever heard, ninety meters and counting. Have a good one!"
What, after all this time, she knew I already had the powers, she just knew the way for me to amplify them, but by hard labor, that was a little bit odd.
She waved her arm in sign of goodbye, I will never forget what she did to me.
With my new techniques, I upgraded my whisper, with the yelling technique, and enhanced all my other abilities, I was ready.
I waved to my master women, then I headed back to the kingdom, more prepared than ever, prepared to take the title back, to it's owner, who was me.
I won... I really won, after all that work, I really won. I glimpsed at his reaction, he laughed and said to me
"Well done, Uro, you are really good, your whisper is really loud, hahaaa!" -he laughed, in a friendly way.
After beating him and taking the title back, he laughed, that didn't give me dopamine, it did not give me joy, after taking the title and my respect back, I didn't feel anything, I was empty, wasn't that my goal all this time?
I looked at Ikose, I helped him get up from the ground, I shook his hand and shared my title with him. That one there, that one there was the one that put a smile on my face, that, there was my goal all along.

[Emalie]

Thank you so much. ️️️️ I did not expect to read a story as beautiful as this. Bethina went through a lot and well, despite everything she is not alone.

Thanks for your effort on this, I really enjoyed reading it and Happy Holidays to you.

[Todoyama]

Thank you so much for your kind message, Happy Holidays

[Innocynce]

Why did this begin funny, then traumatic and then ended funny? It was a emotional rollercoaster​

[Todoyama]

I just came up with it in that moment, I don't know really why did I go that hard on it, maybe because I love making drama stories more.

[Chocolate]

Okay: fantasy, romance, and tragic

[stiatent]

Sounds fun

Genre: monster-b-horror
toilet seat, surfer dude, spagetti-aye-aye-shark XD

look forward to whatever a spagetti-aye-aye-shark is

[Todoyama]

Before talk: I had to put on my writing cap before writing this.
@stiatent

I could hear grunting from one of my comrades from the boat, he was pulling me with all his might, my blood... was rushing from my entire body to my head, I felt like it almost exploded, that cold night, that was my first interaction with the "Spaghetti aye-aye shark" I will never forget his bite, one single unbothered bite had me crippled, my - - -, it was long gone when I fell on the boat, being dragged back by my friend, my comrade
"Laki, wake up, he's attacking again, please, wake up!"
He muffled something, but I could barely hear it, I was so sleepy, my luckiest day, to be saved by my friend, the surfing champion winner four years in a row, I always wondered what a popular guy like him is doing here?
As I glance over my shoulder, I see the Spaghetti aye-aye shark, with it's skin... parts of it, were made out of spaghetti, it was like long, long lines of air, one of his fin's was broken, that's what was our guess, we couldn't think of other way for an it to have a fin that was close to his head, longed out, it looked like he was saluting us, such a funny name for such an horrifying creature.
It all started with the rumors, in the winter of 1922, Normando, Cando village.
"Aye, aye, lads, buckle' up', it's yer thee go! "
I was just a small lad in a big world, I always liked fishing when I was younger, fishing with my father, but I had bigger dreams, I wanted to see the world.
We prepared to leave, but one man, a few years older than turned towards me, he wanted to say something, but he pretended to fix a rope of some kind, staling time for us to leave.
Then he said:
"Kid, I hope you are prepared, for the adventures to come, with you, If we meet him, we can take him down'!" -exclaimed aloud the comrade
"W-Who... sir?" -I asked
He pet my shoulders two times, I still remember, the weight of his hand, the hands of a man that has worked all his life.
I remained in confusion for months on months.
Before we had to hit the conclusion of the distance being 2400 kilometers before we could arrive in the next port, the alarms had been screaming like lions inside a circus.
The bells, I still remember them, the desperate bells.
"Oy, LADS, IT IS HERE!" -screamed the captain
Everyone was in shock, everyone was running here in there, running left and right, the boat moved on it's own from all those people running.
That was the first time I have seen him, the "Spaghetti Aye-aye shark".
We tried everything, but he was smarter, he ate two of my comrades that day, I will not forgive him, the speed, the tenacity, everything.
My legs we're squirting some kind of red liquid, something red with a dark'ish color, it hurt so much I fell with my back on the hardwood planks of the boat.
He patched me up, real tight, I almost fainted, but I could not leave him alone with that thing, I had to fight with him.
"I have an idea, wait here" -he said, running in the lower cabins.
He came out with a stock of toilet seats
"B-but, don't we need those?" -I asked, lightly
"I saw it, back then, the plastic... it's poison for the shark, we have to use it against him"
I looked at the water then looked back at him, I nodded, I had to.
He tried to put the blood from the floor onto the toilet seats, as bait for the monster shark"
He threw the plastic toilet seats into the misty water, I could not see anything, only the sky of the ship, it was much bigger than I though, no... this is not a ship, it's a boat
Some hard chomping sounds were heard inside the water.
"I think he ate them" -said he, happily
Some tens of minutes had been passed, from the six toilet seats that were dropped into the water, only one that had been chomped remained.
He had died, only his flipped over belly could be seen
They high fived then rapidly turned on the boat's motor, sailing to the next city to save the lads life.

[Todoyama]

King Lance Pora was the ruler of all, the ruler of the world, the ruler of the humans, the one, he had many names in the course of tens of years.

Even if he had the most powerful abilities of all time, the shadow usage, he could create shadows and take away shadows, he was a mage, an evil one, but for some reason all the people were bowing to him.
Lance had one small problem, he was alone, he felt alone and he passed the time in his big throne room alone, he just stood there, waiting for another challange to take on. Titans, gods, humans, gnomes, monsters, dragons, he fought them all, his neck was all scratched and sewed up from his battles, his left arm had been healing wrongly, had been broken from the previous wars and battles.
He sighted then left the throne room, first time in twelve years, the first time that the sun had smiled at him in twelve years, he felt like his powers were increasing.
He smirked once, quickly, then went onto his search for a lover, going down the Palace's stairs, slowly and menancingly.
As he walked in the the kingdom, the land of mortals, Lance the son of Mann, a Celest being, a star user, had looked left and right. Everyone had been looking at him, going away from his way, no one said nothing, only the breaths of the people was heard, nothing more.
Beautiful, tall, good genetics, good forms, short, wondereous smiles, he saw every kind of woman, but he turned his look away after checking each one of them with his looks.
Suddenly, he bumped into a really well shredded human, he was a boy, he had the age around twenty five years, he was tall and good face genetics, he was talking to a girl
As the boy turned around, he left the face of the girl uncovered. Lance just stared at her, his eyes were as wide as the ocean, he opened his mouth, he tightened his throat, he wanted to say something, but he just couldn't let the words out of his mouth.
"Is there a problem, guy?" -asked the boy, pushing Lance once
Lance remained unbothered looking at her, just staring in her eyes
"Hey, are you deaf, guy, she is mine, you hear?" -the boy continued, angrily
With a flick of the shoulder, Lance grasped the boy's face and pushed him all the way in to the hard dirt ground. The boy didn't say nothing anymore, he had fainted, or he was asleep, or else...
"Thank you, my king, I was forced to keep talking with him, thank you" -said the girl gently
Lance touched her hands, matching his fingers with her's, he gently pulled the girl to his body, gently kissing her
The girl just blushed, and then retreated herself inside the long crowd, smiling
Lance wanted to follow her, but he felt a pinch in his chest, his lips were dry, almost like the sand, he was thirsty, he was dizzy
"W-what is this... poison..?" He asked, falling slowly down on the ground
Lance's life had been taken by the only woman he had ever fell in love with.
Last word's that Lance had ever heard were the words that came out of her mouth, being in the wide crowd, walking away:
"The fall of the king".
Lance's look had touched the ground, he remained there, long crowds of people had gathered around him, murmuring.
A few scenes of struggle inside Lance's body and after that, he was gone.

[stiatent]

Writing cap inspired something funny then XD
Nice, that's why they call it the Sphagetti-aye-aye-sharks -a crippling bite, partial sphagetti skin, at least they broke the fin, forever stuck in saluting pose XD Those toilet seats were deadly and that sphagetti-aye-aye shark was surely hungry munching those five toilet seats lol
Sail on! Time to save that lad!
nice story! Gave me a good laugh

[Chocolate]

Niceee you are a very talented writer! I love how you made the story historical and tragic! 🫶

[Todoyama]

Bumping this, in case anyone else wants to give it a try :T

[oldmanjohnny66]

I remember this child psychologist I had to see back in 1980.He broke his back sledding down a mountain! He was cool as hell.He kept showing me drawings of different situations and I would come with some far out stuff that blew his mind.It came from all of the old movies on TV back then.The imagination is Powerful! My aunt and uncle didn't know what to do with me, I was a messed up Kid! Huffing gas to get high, albeit in secret,almost froze on the ocean with the ice bergs crashing and penetrating my subconscious!!! Plotting to fake my own death so I could run away.All sorts of crap.I didn't take Pinocchios advice in a filmstrip warning about the dangers of drugs.I had to find out the hard way!
