The Forest We Share

Phones

We stopped at a food store those six other carriages creating a total of 7. We got out to eat and the VK whose name we found out was Arnold Vantrogan, Mr. Vantrogan explained how the carriages belonged to out parent’s group.

He told the story, not from the end, not from the beginning but instead, from the middle. After they became warriors, before 3 died. After they became heroes, before the war.

It started when our parents were an elite group of battle guards for the previous king, they were call ‘The Aces’. They were called that because they were the best in their fields. After The Aces defeated the Bull Hornet, each of the 7 were gifted a carriage and they went out into the forest to see which one they would get.

It was determined by what the puller decides. The puller chose the owner, not the other way around. Due to our circumstances we didn’t have to earn them, we just got them.

We went to the forest 1 at a time and got out carriages. There were a total of 7 pullers. Eli went to get his creature and got the Minotaur, Cam went out and came back with a giant armoured turtle, Hannah got the electric eel and I got the sea serpent.

The unicorn, the Pegasus and the Dragon didn’t get a passenger but the unicorn and dragon knew who they wanted already. Unicorn wants King Aries and the dragon wants Princess Theori. I don’t know why but the pegasus wanted to meet people before deciding who she wants as a passenger.

She wants someone who fits a certain criteria; knows music, plays instruments, is kindhearted and who will be nice to her.

I looked at my phone, forgetting where I am and what happened. I check the app where I write my stories and the one where we write our comics. The story was being written without me or Hannah writing it. The story of this magical place is effecting our apps but in a good way. This way we don’t have to spend time writing it, it writes and draws itself.

Meaning we have more time to live, more chapters to publish and and unlimited word count. We’ll never run out of idea or forget what we dod because it’ll write itself.

“Our phones work!” I told the others. “It’s magick! The stories are writing themselves, we can text our family. Everything!”

Everyone looks at each other on question before trying to prove or disprove my statements.

“Everything works?” Hannah starts the questions but no one goes on their phones.

“Everything works. Apps, internet, built in applications. Everything.” I confirmed.

“Texting?”

“Highest speed sending and receiving, already texted someone from school. And got a reply.”

The questions came left right and centre, and I answered each of them. No one knew what to think of the new discovery. Honestly it seemed like no one believed me.

“Just take a look for yourselves, Eli and Cam now have access to the new story and commenters, so they can see whats up.” Hannah nodded. And they all whipped out their phones to try it themselves. Hannah and I took off the glasses and put down our phones so they new we weren’t the ones typing.
