Catherine, the start of my story I told you about, Heidi

The circle of the dead

Down in a massive haunted forest the cirle of the dead lies.
The spirits of all people and animals go there when they die.

This story however starts in a beautiful pleasant cottage with a garden filled with growing flowers. The main character in this story was the girl who lived there (me), my name was Hibea. My little brother was called Finnet, my mother was called Miremma and my father was called Tomukt.
Anyway, we all had weapons, I had a golden sword and a bow and arrow. Finnet had a dagger, Miremma had a cross bow and a sword and Tomukt had a sword and a sling shot.

Unfortunately there was a rotten king of our valley, his name was Therukt. He was greedy and he was obsessed with the power of the cuponton, The cuponton was a huge jewel that was so powerful it ran the cirle o the dead. It was was addictive and overpowering, it poisoned his brain. Nothing ever grew at his palace except a sickness of the mind.

Down beyond our valley in a place called Fourekt, a man sat down by his wife. Sadly she was lifeless, her hand fell to the ground and she died. With a green flash her spirit lifted out of her body and was taken to the circle of the dead. (As a spirit she was aware of what was going on around her but she was not sure if she was dreaming) The circle was empty except for her. Then all of a sudden she saw thousands of gleaming eyes as they peered out from the shadows.

Heidi,

This is a terrific start to your story – we are all very impressed. I think I noticed the influence of all the Scooby Doo comics you have read with the mention of the ‘with a green flash her spirit lifted out of her body’. Am I right in thinking you are also inspired by Mr. J.R.R. Tokien? We are looking forward to reading the next installment!
