Created by a fairy
As she turned colors into light
Red from an azalea
Orange off a butterfly
She took green from the trees
A deep blue from the pond
And lastly she found violet
Inside volcanic rock
She brought the colors together
Placed them side by side
And carrying them like ribbons
She streaked across the sky
When she came back down to earth
She noticed something missing
The colors she had hung so high
Still didn’t seem convincing
Discouraged she turned
And walked away
Head hung and spirits low
She began to fly,
Turned to look one more time
But was blinded by the yellow light
Her wings had left behind
And for the first time ever
She thought maybe her color
Was beautiful enough
To shine next to the others
And when she placed it in between
The orange light and the green
She finally saw yellow for what it was
Completely and beautifully unique
As she took a step back
Her heart skipped a beat
Finally she could say that her
Rainbow was complete

The Apostles' Creed
Not sure if I should ask this or not, but here goes. When you were a child and going to Sunday school and the last few years of that schooling you learned in some detail the workings of the church and studying to be confirmed member of your church after being baptized as an infant. There were several pieces of biblical literature that seems that we had to memorize from the Lord's Prayer to the Ten Commandments to the Apostle's Creed to give us meaning to our lives. We were learning to confirm our baptism and our belief in Him. To me this is a lot for a middle school student to absorb in my opinion, but for some reason this creed seems to stick somehow.

The Guardian Chapter V
Alexander left his Coming of Age ceremony with Cronos and the elders with as many new questions as he had answers for his old questions. Cronos had confirmed his suspicions were correct. Not only was there a link between the Beast Masters and the inhabitants of the Citadel, but it was the Citadel's fault that the Beast Masters existed in the first place. Instead of banishing the law breakers which allowed them to wreak havoc on the rest of humanity, the Citadel elders should have stripped them of their powers before they became too strong. Now Alexander would need to battle the Beast Masters and the Jikininki. It would be difficult for him to forgive the Citadel Elders because their poor decisions led to the deaths of his parents and more than half the planet's human population.
