Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

I don't like it that much either, especially since it was coincidentally made right around the time we began the book

Yeah, get started!

Just finished my Write to DEATH entry whoo!  big_smile  Its kinda boring and confusing but ah, well. I only hit 5,000 words I'ma crash and burn during NaNoWriMo. (But then again I'll be doing the July one and will have no school. But I will have Summer Camp. Hm...)

Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

Chapter 4: Warning: Logan training. Death or Serious Injury may Occur

Silence. No noise but the barely audible sound of breathing and the electric lights buzzing. Until Mike broke it. “I must have heard you wrong. I thought you said the center of the Earth. Someone get the bananas out of my ears. Now, what did you say again?”
“You heard it right the first time. You guys are going into the Earth’s center. It’s a whole different world down there. By the time you get out,” Logan mumbled the words ‘hopefully alive’, before continuing. “You’ll be honored to be some of the first people down there. It’s a privilege. There’s no place anywhere on the surface more different then the norm. Different animals, different plants, different landscape, there’s even a tribe of people down there!” “What, people? In the center of the Earth?” Jade asked. “I can tell you later. What’s important know is that we get prepared. I’ve been down there once, six months ago. We need to train.”

Θ Θ Θ

At Logan’s request, Ander had rented an entire swimming pool building, complete with a gym and exercise room. Logan had set them immediately to work. First it was the treadmills. Everyone stood on one in the fitness center. It was a half hour activity. All the treadmills were controlled by a remote, which, unfortunately for the group, was in Logan’s hands. Logan stood on his machine and turned the treadmills up to a jogging pace. Five minutes later, fast jogging. Another five minutes. Running. Another five minutes, running really fast. Then, in the last ten minutes, he set it to sprinting. It was agonizing. Conner had never run so fast or long in his life. “Can’t we do it a bit slower?” He pleaded with Logan. “Oh, come on. This is half as fast as you’ll be running if there’s a dragon chasing you.” Conner shut up. Finally it was over. After everyone pleaded, Logan let them have a ten-minute rest before going on to weight-lifting. Oh, great. He’ll be giving us hundred pound weights, Connor though. No such luck. After twenty minutes of hundred and fifty pound weights, it was on to swimming. Luckily Ander was watching. After arguing with Logan for a minute, Ander turned to the group. “twenty-minute rest break.” Logan rolled his eyes. After the lunch break, (Logan had won the argument with Ander over hotdogs or pasta. Apparently pasta is what they have in the Olympics) they were swimming laps around the pool. Fortunately they were all good swimmers, and completed a hundred laps in a few minutes. Logan pushed them to two hundred. Then they were back to the gym, were they did sit-ups, pull-ups, and chin-ups until they fell to the ground, completely exhausted. Then they did twenty more of each. Finally they were done. Logan looked fine, but everyone else was panting and gasping for breath. They went back to the lab and Logan showed them their rooms. More pasta for dinner. This routine continued for several days. Then, at the end of the sixth day of training, Logan made an announcement. “We’re ready. Or at least as ready as we can be. We’ll get some stuff ready tonight. Then, tomorrow, we’ll go.”

Θ Θ Θ

Everyone brought their backpacks to Logan’s room. “’Kay. now we can start. First off, don’t bring too many extra clothes. They take up space that might be needed for more important stuff. Second, don’t fill it until it’s bulging. You need to be able to open it and find what you need quickly without spilling everything out. Now, to what we need.” He picked up a water bottle from a table that was completely full of stuff they may need to bring. Ander came in with eight more. Everyone inserted them into the compartments on their backpacks. “this is one of the most important parts. We need two flashlights each. One normal one and one small one that’s crank powered and has LED mode.” Everyone took them from Ander. This process repeated. Soon everyone had: water bottle, flashlights, matches in a waterproof bottle, a taser for small animals, a small vial, (Logan said they probably would want to take back a souvenir) water purifying tablets, a Swiss army knife that had every attachment known to man, two large carabineer clips, twenty feet of rope,  a special hoodie, (it was reversible. One side was highly reflective and the other was dark gray.) a bottle of fish food (to distract the fish) and a whistle to attract attention. Logan also had a few sticks of nitroglycerine in case they needed to demolish something or get rid of a monster. After a few more minutes, Logan closed his backpack and set it to the side. “Onto weaponry. Each of you will get a katana, like mine, or a sword. Most of you probably wont know how to use them, but you’ll learn. It’s vital that you have a sword. Nothing else works down there. A gunshot attracts monsters from everywhere. So does a bomb. For some reason, only medieval weaponry doesn’t seem to. Now, what do you guys want?”
Amber came forward first. “Katana.”
Mike came next. “Sword.”
Lucas: “Sword.”
Jake: “Sword.”
Lisa “Katana.”
Tony: “Katana.”
Jade: “Sword.”
Conner though for a moment. Then he made his choice. “Sword.”

Θ Θ Θ


“No. I will absolutely NOT go down there.” Lisa said. They were standing in Arizona, at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. It was a hole. It went straight down. According to Logan, it went straight to the center of the earth. Which was thousands of miles down. They suspected that they might hit the ground after that. “Oh, come on. I already told you, you DO NOT DIE WHEN YOU REACH THE BOTTOM! I’ve been down there before. Stop being such wimps.” Jake didn’t like being called a wimp. He lunged at Logan, who calmly sidestepped. Ander grabbed Jake. “Quit it!” “We have interference.” Logan said, looking left. Everyone followed his gaze. “Quick, jump in! Ander prompted. “Otherwise you’ll never avoid the sandstorm!” No one thought. Everyone jumped. That was the last they would see of the sky. For how long, no one knew.

Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

Okay, these were my automatic reactions:

Love the title, it sounds Rick Riordan-y
[singing] "Put a banana in your ear~! lol [/singing]
[chanting]Pasta! Pasta! [/chanting]
Lesson learned. I shall never train with Logan.
Logan  sound like my hikemaster at camp.
That Arizona part came quickly. But okay.

Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

I've got one so far  big_smile

Species: Tyu-Tyu
Subspecies:Hui-Kan (HOO-ee Can)
Has longer horns than most subspecies of Tyu-Tyu. They are almost the body length of the creature. It is exrememly viscous, and rarely messed with, or tamed. One or two among the most skilled can keep one. It stores poison in the tip of its horns, and in its saliva. Always wear gloves while handling.

Primary food source is small mammals, reptiles, or fish

Re: Arabian Nights--A Writing Collab for Future Authors

k, chapter 5  big_smile



Chapter 5: Into the Center of the Earth


Connor looked at his watch. They had been falling for ten minutes. And no sign of the bottom. Logan saw him. “Only about two more minutes!” Then Connor felt a force, pushing up. Pushing him up. He could see the other felt it too. “It’s air. There’s a geyser at the bottom that gradually slows your descent. That’s why you don’t die.” Two minutes later, Connor was barely falling. And he could see the bottom. It was barely five feet away. There was a hole that spurted hot air up, preventing him from dying. “You have to do this carefully.” Logan said slowly rolling out of the stream of air and landing on the ground. The others tried, mostly falling on their backs. After a minute to catch their
breath, everyone stood up. They were in a cave. A cave in the center of the Earth. Everyone stood there, amazed. Not Logan. He knelt and touched the ground with a finger. He looked up. Then he stood and whipped out his katanas. “Weapons!” there was some confusion at the new concept of extracting weapons from scabbards. But soon everyone was armed. “We know you’re there!” Logan called into the shadows. A figure emerged from the darkness. It looked like an orc from movies and books, but white. “A Weguet.” Logan muttered. “Don’t attack it. Let it try to attack me.” Logan stepped forward, katanas ready. The Weguet looked at him, probably considering why this human had stepped forward, and how easy it would be to kill it. The Weguet opened its mouth a horrible sound echoed through the cave. It sounded like the rock was roaring. Then the Weguet raised a huge club. Logan stood there, waiting. The others screamed at him to get out of the way. Then the club came down.

Θ Θ Θ

The club was inches from Logan’s head when he ducked and rolled through the monster’s legs. Then he turned and leaped into the air. He raised the katanas. Seconds later, the Weguet’s head was sliced into three pieces. The monster’s body collapsed onto the cave floor. Then something happened purple light emanated from it. Then it dissolved into sand. The others just stood there. “That’s how it works down here. No risk, no reward. There are two types of un-plant creatures. Normal and monsters. monsters turn into sand when you kill them. Now let’s get out of here.” He led them towards a tunnel in the back of the cave. It was small and twisty. Eventually they made it out. And gasped.

Θ Θ Θ

They were on a ledge overlooking a vast jungle. It was composed of massive trees, dense undergrowth, and miles of hanging vines. Beyond it was a desert, ocean, and mountain range. But they were small with distance. Everything was encased in a huge cavern. Birds circled the jungle. the ledge they stood on sloped steeply down to the jungle floor. “Lopis Rifuses.” Logan said, pointing at the birds, which looked like giant white robins. “Down here, there are four different biomes you have to go through to get out. I should probably tell you guys what we’re doing here, though. First, we’re documenting everything. The plants, animals, monsters, geography and geology, everything. But we’re also looking for a special herb that only grows by the exit. It’s priceless for two reasons: it ONLY grows in one spot. And it’s a miracle heal. It can heal any sickness or disease. So, we need to get to the end, document everything we can, collect the herb, and escape. Without dying.”
“What are we, video game characters?” Conner joked.
Logan rolled his eyes. “Let’s go.” He said. He walked over to a single, huge, leafy bush that grew on the ledge they stood on. Then he took a knife out of his pocket and sliced off nine leaves the size of bathtubs. He dropped eight in a pile in front of everyone and held the leaf in front of himself, facing the ledge.
“Wait a minute, you can’t possibly be seriou-“Tony said, but was cut off as Logan jumped forward, into space.

Θ Θ Θ

The leaf hit the slope with Logan on top of it. Using it as a sled, he careened down the slope. “Only way down!” he yelled as he continued downwards. Everyone looked at each other. Then, two at time, they picked up a leaf and leaped over the edge.
    Connor laughed as he slid down a mile-long, seventy-five degree angle slope a few thousand miles below the Earth’s surface. Everyone did. Bu, halfway through the descent, Connor realized That Logan hadn’t told them something. At the very bottom of the ledge, the slope curved upwards, like a jump. Logan was just hitting it. He grabbed his leaf tightly as he hit the jump, where he flew into the air over the jungle. his fall was slowed by the leaf, which acted like a parachute. Logan disappeared beneath the leafy canopy. Conner tried to stop his leaf. But it was too late. He hit the jump, instinctively grabbing the leaf as Logan had done. He flew into the air above the jungle. Then the leaf billowed up and slowed his descent. But it still hurt when he hit the branches. He fell through the canopy, then the leaves faded away and he fell into a tangle of branches. After a minute of lying stunned, he tried to get out of the huge ball. No good. It was like he had fallen, creating a hole in the tangle, then it had sealed. He looked down. Something was moving.
