Twilight Tales

Tale of The Cryon

Entry 1: May 2009

I was in a junkyard in this town called Broocli with a brown haired boy. He apparently wanted to get married, but I said no. Then I walked with my friend Bella to downtown Broocli, past the Brooklizi [a local pub], and down to the harbor. It was a small oceanside town. We walked on a tan brick walkway that wrapped around a building, and was almost level with the ocean. A white horse appeared and galloped around a corner so I ran after it. Bella said I was nuts. I followed the horse and found a dark skinned man with curly black hair, and two kids trying to catch it. Supposedly the horse belonged to a local Broocli farmer and was very expensive. The horse jumped in the water and refused to come out.

I kneeled down on the sidewalk and placed my hand on the side of the horse's face. I told it "everything is going to be okay, you're all right." Then it climbed out onto the walkway with water cascading off its coat. Then I jumped onto the horse's back. It jumped back into the ocean and I held onto its mane to stay on. We went underwater and 'galloped' through the ocean. I could breathe underwater too. We surfaced and Bella was with her boyfriend on the walkway nearby. She looked shocked and told me I better visit her because now I was the 'Cryon'. She explained that the Cryon was a mystical horse that takes only one rider, then it is up to the rider to care for the seas of Earth.

I rode through the oceans for months, taking care of things like pollution and such, always on the look out to help fellow sea creatures. Finally one day I made it back for a visit to Broocli. I went on land for the first time to visit Bella. I told her I was worried I wasn't doing enough, but she told me not to worry because without my work the Broocli harbor would still be gross.

-The End-

Notes: Broocli is not a real town that I am aware of, and neither is the Cryon myth my mind cooked up!
