I havent been able to interpret it yet, maybe you all can interpret it with me while reading it [img]tongue.gif[/img] In the mean-time, here's a Picture I draw for no apparent reason...

Hours pass, and the the seeds become planted, the feilds are tilled and night comes... Mar sleeps soundly in her bead, dressed in full night cap, while Jack remains int he feilds... tilling away...

Confusion

Arising the sun did once more, and with it rose the great pillars, playing their tune, and while this went on, so did the awakening undercover operation...

Jack awoke, and set his eyes on the trees... the seeds he had planted had over night ripped the nutrients out of the life-filled soil and grew exponentially, they were already bearing fruit... the sight was magical beyond Jack's wildenst dreams, he picked some apples and began storing them in a basket, another grew these odd orage round objects which looked like the life-giving sun in the sky they were so vibrant. Taking a bit into one jack was rather discusted, but then after pealling it he found it to be very sweet and nectry, he gathered many of those as well, picking green cone-shaped and even some bizare purple box-shaped plants which tasted like a sweet milk... after he was done picking, a rumbling errupted on the horizon... he turned and saw the ground litterally shaking, steam was ligting into the air, and soon billowing smoke began growing near...

Wraith and Raisins

The machines were comming... with large grey, cracked and ancien cylinders powered by steam and coal, they were nearing now, laying waiste to the life-filled earth behind them as they drove, jack had to get out o their way, taking his fruit with him, he began running toward the city, he looked back and saw his trees become victims to the dozers, uprooting them, flattening them, all he had hoped to gain was lost in a heartbeat...

He neared the gates and gained entry through his own hands... once inside, he saw people gathering in lines to get into the central complex, about 5 or so were left in the line and he gave a deep sigh, he decided to stand in the line as well...

The music began blaring over the megaphones once more whilst everyone was seated, even Jack, who now had a basket of fruit on his lap...
and one at his feet

The crowd dared not to murmer or speak... and then... a click... a record becomes screaching... and in no time... the sound of beating drums... of playing trumpets triumphanty announcing the comming of the new day withing an ear shot of everyone in existence... and with the sounds come a words of mortal men... "AWAKEN PEOPLE! AWAKEN EVERONE! A New day has dawned! And a Beautifull day at that!" The trumpets overshoot once more just before silence... "AND NOW... The moment you've all been waiting for... HERE IS... THY KING!"

The Figurehead Again

Again descended the king, with his drape of a cloak and double chin...

and then the announcers came in...

"AAAAND Here is is chuck! King Douglass the 15th! Still looking as Brash as ever!"

"Indeed I must say he's rather brash!"

"Hahaha! Doesnt he look just Brash this evening?"

"I just said that!"

"And look he's going to make his choice... remember what they told you about the choice?"

"We've gone over this enough times Bob it's getting old..."

"Thats right! If he descends down the right path then the king signifys his kingdoms eternal will to exist and that his descisions of that day will not..."

the two chimed in to speak it together...

"TRUTH! JUSTICE! PRESERVATION! AND HUMANITY!"

"And not once in 15 Generations of Douglass have we seen ONE be a lefty!"

"Haha! I think i'm having DeJaVu!"

"And he's going to make his descision now..."

The king began to tap dance, putting his feet left and right, with each movement a ghasp followed by a sigh of releif... and then he began danding downt he side... lifting his studded crown with a smile and a bow to every other row he pased by...

up "OH SIRE! I MUST SAY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING QUIET BRASH THIS EVENING!" "Marcy! shh! He's heard you say that the last 51 mornings!" "hahaha come now ladies theres no need to show fear in my presence! i am a king who follows my people! not my own will! I am here to serve YOU!"

Without another word the king, still smiling exited whilest the announcers dictated his every move, only 20 or so were "daring" enough to stand and exit whilst the others continued to pay their respects, all with the king's dumb and enthusiastic smile...

"mar!" Jack called to her, exiting the building...

"Why jack! i thought they'd have arrested you by now!"

"nah I snuck in early... wait... ARRESTED?"

"Yeah! the king ordered an edict that anyone outside of his walls would be killed..."

"but I own land out there mar!"

"HAH!" a guard laughed...

"what is it that you find so humorouse?"

"HAHA!"

"...SPEAK..."

"HAH!"

"... What's his problem?"

"I don't know... but I dont recomend you go outside of the walls any more!"

"BUT MAR! LOOK!" he held up a fruit to her.."

"What's that supposed to be?"

"it's a fruit!"

". . .doesnt look like anthing i've seen..."

"It looks just like it did on the pictures of the seed casings my father handed down to me..."

"...i'm not going to eat now... the king ordered us all to starve until he says we can eat... he's blaming it on you..."

"well then eat this..."

"And disobey the king?"

"He's only keeping you from eating HIS fruit... remember?"

"fine..." she takes one of the green plants and bites into it...

Silense befals her...

Born Again

Never onto the tips of so simple a thing as her tounge had such pleasures been tempted, never in her life had she known food to have taste much less good taste, it FELT that it provided sustenance, there wans't just an understanding that there was sustanence, there was an obviouse belife that there was life within the plant and it was flowing into her system... she began to feel warm and fuzzy all over... happily scarfing it down... jack had to calm her from screaming insainley...

"Shh wait you have to realize that we must be conservative... these plants grew overnight, which was like a miracle, my father told me they only grow in months time..."

"so?" she said between bites...

"These great monsters came, they ran my trees over..."

"...MONSTERS?!" She said swallowing and looking at him wide-eyed...

"yes... but they were made by human hands... and I know they bore the King's Seal!"

"...the royal mark?"

"yes... the one up there..." jack pointed to a grand golden statue of two snakes with what looked like wind-up keys in their backs encircling a tree...

"what's your point?"

"Don't you see, they dont want us to have right to life! it's like some corrupt..."

"DONT YOU DARE SAY THAT WORD!"

"...The king is CO-"

She covered his mouth, one of the guards appeared to be listening in and was giving them a funny look...

"BRASH! The king is BRASH you mean..."

He got the drift... "yes... that he is..." he said through gritted teeth... the guard relaxed a bit...

Suddenly a man wearing sunglasses and in tropical styled clothing left, he had very dark grey skin and a bald head...

"Markus!" Mar called out to him...

"yo?"

"Please you must try this fruit!"

"what WHOAH yo, i'm not dealin' wit' no contraband mon!"

"no seriously you have to taste this! it's beyond comprehension!"

The strangley colored man took a bite and immediatley gained flesh tones...

"MY GOD MON! THAT BE THE - " "SSHHHH!" the two shushed him at once, the guard began rubbing his chin further...

"Both of you... take this and store it, see to it that one of each plant stays uneaten, but as for the rest, make sure the people get it...

The Resistance

And so in doing the fruit was disperesd no man nor woman nor child of the city coudl resist in endulging the apetizing fruit futher, even those still sitting within, paying their respects gladly indulged... and soon even the ever quiet old people who sat in the back began getting offered as well, most of them turned it down, and threatended to tell the king, but a single taste convinced them otherwise... all was going well, terrifically well, to such an extent that the people were spreading word of rallyhing, and then, someone had to tell the king... it was a snivviling tripe of a man, who walzed into the office, with a low hung brow and displaced jaw, he looked at the king with a smile unlike any could make with his odd lower mouth... he spoke to the king from behind the lowered halibers... "SIRE! MELORD! I MUST TELL YOU WORD! GREAT JOIOUSE WORD!"

"What is it...? Let him through..."

"OH SIRE!"

"ah yes, you must want another autograph, come foward, be sure to step around the pendulum..."

The bladed object slowed and allowed him passage, he walked up tot eh king...

"PLEASE SIRE! understand that there is much a do around the people, they speak of a FINE ambrosia like none tey have tasted..."

"TASTED?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN TASTED!"

"Asthetically I mean..."

"oh... thank goodness because if the people were eating-
"The people are eating..." He said at the same time the king did....

"what?"

"they're eating these..."

"NO NO NO... that's not supposed to be POSSIBLE! i ordered them NOT TO!"

The blade began to swing to and fro again...

"BUT SIRE! THEY LOVE IT! THE FOOD! IT'S THE MOST BEAUTIFULL THING!"

"WHAT... FOOOD!?!" he said with his eyes about ready to burst veins, his forehead growing red and steam litterally pouring out of his ears...

"Fruits! grown by someone in the town! they taste wonderfull!"

"they cant grow fruit in the town there isnt any SOIL to grow in the TOWN and THEREFORE WONDERFULL IS NOT THE PROPER ADJECTIVE! ILLEGAL IS THE WORD TO USE! AS IN PUNNISHABLE BY DEATH ILLEGAL!!! did you eat the fruit? YOU ATE THE FRUIT DIDNT YOU!!! DIDNT YOU!!!" Blood burst from a vein on the king's forehead...

"well yes ... but sire... know that..."

"DIE!"

The axe swung out of place and the great pendulum came forward, evicerating the slack-jawed but well-speaking man and ending him in the presence of the king, further staining his floor...

". . .I ... WANT... THAT... MAAAAN!!!"

Crowned for a Killer Instinkt...

"Jack mon!" Marcus came runnign toward Mar and Jack...

"Listen mon! you both best be leavin the kingdom and not commin back mon! the king be giving a speech, i heard the two announcers speakin' of it mon! and they said the king was darn P.O.ed mon! He be commin!"

Jack lookedinto the street and saw nothing...

"what should I be afraid of? after all, he's just one man..."

Suddenly jack felt something grapple his shoulder and a deep dark voice spoke...

"Jack Rembrant... you have been ordered into the city square by royal decree for a public insultation..."

Within moments jack was behing hoisted up by his arms into the center of the city, he looked down at the people below...

"UM! LET ME DOWN FROM HERE THIS INSTANT!"

"You... jack... the Mindless one..." the people began to laugh upon the king's royal hand-signal... quieted them...

"It has come to my attention" he said bobbing his head to and fro like a know-it-all "That you decided to grow FRUIT outside of the kingdom, on land which belongs to me!"

"I WAS GROWING IT ON MY OWN LAND! YOU HAD NO REASON TO SEND THE MONSTERS TO CRUSH IT!"

Everyone ghasped... "Monsters... MONSTERS" the king said nodding... "AS IF I actually had monsters! AND AS IF YOU ACTUALLY HAD LAND OUTSIDE OF MY KINGDOM! I researched the Royal charter, and as you can SEE..." a large white paper rolled down the side of the city and a map became projected on it for everyone to see...

"IT CLEARLEY SAYS THAT ALL OF THE LAND BELONGS TO ME!"

"YOU LIE!!!"

". . ." eveyrone ghasped...

"You accuse me?" he said chocking on his words for a second... "THAT I... LIE?" he said... and then made the people chuckle... "I see you have only a few fruits left... well, I think it would be best to let you have what you want..."

He then waved his hand, the guards began throwing the fruit he had grown at him, it stained his clothing and caused swelling and bruising, they did so and spared no cores...

"AND THE SEEDS!" he picked up a packet... "Are NOT yours either! and thus they shall be BURNED!" The king lit fire to a package with a ripe orange on it...

Suddenly one of the people ran up... it was Marcus...

"STOP YOU FOOL! THAT WAS LIFE GIVING! BY DESTROYING THOSE YOU'RE ENDING..."

The king pulled out a hidden pistol and shouted "THE PUNNISHMENT FOR OPOSITION IS DEATH!"

he opened fire and markus fell limp ontot he ground, he then opened fire on the figure suspended in the air, but accidentaly (due to his being a bad shot) cut the ropes loose around him,the people graciously caught him befor ehe struckt he ground, while others tried to stop them, and he grabbed at some seed packets which were thrown to him... "GO! GO!!" Some people whistpered to him, and so he began running...
