The Adventures of Silva - War and Peace

THE ADVENTURES OF SILVA - WAR AND PEACE




Our story begins as the truth seeking Silva decides to tear herself away from the comfort of the Bright Valley in Sunsetland, her peaceful and trouble free home. Setting off to discover new places and creatures she travels by foot across lands a plenty. Over hills of ice and valleys of dust, through deep forests and barren lands her journey is a lonesome one.




Approaching a very curious plant that she recognised only from the Anceint Book of Fables, she realised that she had happened upon the Mystical Mushroom of Magical Charms. Not knowing which strain of the plant she had come upon, but knowing that each strain gave of itself a different type of charm, she was eager though a little wary to try out which charm this particular plant had to offer. Breaking off a large piece of the plant and squeezing some of the sticky sap onto her lips she felt an airy tingle course through her whole body in an orgasmic wave, as she felt lifted to a higher state of existence. Feeling a little light headed and disorientated she realised that she had been taken to a place between life and death and was now invisible to all those in the mortal world. Taking a piece of the plant with her for future emergencies she set off wondering how long the charm would last.

Setting off once again through unexplored land as she travelled toward the Desert of Death, perhaps for one turn of the sand clock, she began to feel heavied by the return of her molecules to the mortal plain of existence. Managing to avoid the great beasts of the desert which ravaged the land and all who roam there, she came upon a site of unexpected magnitude.



There before her stood part of the great army of the legendary Metalmen and Mechanical Monstrosities. A terrifying sight, witnessed by many but reported by few, for lives do not last long in their presence. A tremendous army dedicated to eradicating all human life forms. Silva had to find out what dastardly deeds were to unfold with their presence, for the sake of the whole land.




Sneaking close to the centre of their operation she witnessed a sight that nearly stopped her heart….a massive congregation of the largest Mechanical Monstrosities she had ever heard of, were spilling out in a rampage against all humanity




Quickly taking out her piece of Mystical Mushroom of Magic Charms, she squeezed hard to release the sticky sap upon her lips, to once again become invisible.

Taking note of the collaboration between some of the Evil Eomen and their Beast Slaves and the maniacal Warlocks she realised that war was upon the land, as they worked themselves to a fiery frenzy in readiness for battle.




Running like the wind, before her invisibility charm delivered her back to the land of the mortals, she sought the grace of the Pharo Tree in the Golden Forest, for advice on how to stem the invasion from the Desert of Death.
“Go forth, fearless child, to the Edge of Reality and seek thy solution from the Lonely Tree – Guardian of the Lands. Thy journey shalt pass through the bounds of reality and shalt test thy presence of mind. May speed and sanity accompany thy soul.” And with that the Pharo Tree became silent.





Silva ran to the edge of the land and to the Great Ocean, hoping upon hope that the Great Sea Goddess would have her in favourable light and not set upon her the Legion of Snappers, a relentless swarming mob with razor teeth and an unsatisfying hunger for flesh. On this day of peril it appeared her luck was in and she swam from the coast toward the Horizon of Emptiness. Suddenly she found herself at the boundary of the Edge of Reality where the Great Ocean became silent and ethereal. Not really knowing her bearings and hoping she was on the right track she saw in the murk of the water something swimming toward her. Frightened and not knowing what it was that approached her she waited, her heart pounding below her breast wondering if her life was about to end. But no, it was a man, a merman no less.




“Are thee lost dear Lady?” asked the charming angel of the deep. “I am Totyen, carer of the Lonely Tree, Guardian of the Lands. I shalt escort thee to The Last Place, home of the Lonely Tree. Come fair Lady in Pink, take thy hand for thy journey shalt be removed from this watery place to swim through the ether and on to the shores of The Last Place.”

There upon the beautiful Angel of the Deep stretch out his hand in companionship to escort Silva up to the ether where they floated in weightless bliss.




“This way, dear Lady” said Totyen in soft and floating tones, making Silva feel light headed and dreamy, his words like a powerful potion acting upon her soul.
Struggling to keep focused, Silva followed the charming escort to the mounds of The Last Place.




“Dear Lady in Pink, thy must mark thy presence upon the sands of the shore before climbing to the Lonely Tree” spoke the silky tones of her escort, making it even more difficult for Silva to leave his side.
With great strength and presence of mind, Silva placed upon the sands her mark in silver and began to climb the great mound to the resting place of the Lonely Tree.




Just over the top of the mound she saw the spiked arms of the legendary Lonely Tree.
“What brings thee, mortal, on such a perilous journey to thy side?” asked the Lonely Tree in deep and powerful tones.




“ There is a great uprising of the armies of the Metalmen and Mechanical Monstrosities, they are in legion with the Evil Eomen and their Beast Slaves. Spilling forth from the centre of the Desert of Death, they seek to eradicate all human life from the Lands of Discovery. Can you, O Great Guardian of the Land, bring peace to this war before the blood is shed and taints the soil forever red” pleaded Silva to the great power before her.
“I shalt summon Bulk, God of the MMM to put out this tempest of rebellion, meanwhile I shalt grant you immediate and safe passage to thy homeland. I thank thee for this warning and for the great risk undertaken. Farewell Lady in Pink, thy slumber shalt be safe for the time being” spoke the Lonely Tree, his tone powerfully soft.




With that Bulk, God of Metalmen and Mechanical Monstrosities went forth upon the Desert of Death and calmed the furore that had so taken his people.



Whilst Silva was transported on a spell, to Sunsetland, where she went to the Great Tree of Knowledge to recant her story for entry to the Book of Legends.




Once again our land is safe, sleep well dear reader, till the next time we meet…….
