THIS ISN'T WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE

By: Pseudonymous Bosch

A single piece of chocolate

Barely even a taste

Sent her to the days of her ancestors

Back through time and space

She put the rest in her pocket

She didn't want to waste

She woke up on a long dirt rode

A long forgotten place

She saw a boy stuck in a tree

So she climbed up to help him out

But after her kind deed was done

"Ghost! Ghost!" was all he could shout

She did not understand why he

Would shout that, but just in case

She looked in a puddle on the ground

And did not see her face

Then she realized she could not

Remember her own name

Until she meet a seer called by Cass

Who helped her realize their names were the same

In the distant future

And a different place

Sat her best friend named Max-Earnest

With worry on his face

For Cass's mind is in the past

And her body lay behind

And for as long as his friend is in a coma

He will always wait by her side

He felt it was his fault that

His friend was in her deep sleep

For before she ate the dreaded chocolate

It was a promise she made him keep

"You know how to make the antidote," she said

"And, please, make it fast,

And give it to me about ten minutes

After my lips the chocolate has passed."

Back with Cass, she found out that she

Was in the Renaissance times

And now she could remember clearly

It was the Jester she must find

Then along came a group of the kings servants

Carrying a trunk full of gold

So she decided to follow them to the castle

Before she got old

But before she could even take a step

A group of bandits came from the trees

Striking fear in the servants hearts

And the peasants rose from their knees

They stole the gold from the servants

And threw it out to the poor

Then out fell a magnet rock called the Lode Stone

That was involved in a lot of lore

They did not understand the stone

Because they haven't seen anything of its kind

They thought it might have been magic

But that was only in there mind

A couple weeks later she woke up

And found the stone around her principals neck

A lot of thoughts crossed through her mind

But the main was, "What the heck?"

Cass and Max-Earnest thought of ways

That they could steal the Lode Stone

As they had done before with a

Fork used to find tone

But when opportunity finally arrived

They were just minutes too late

For an invisible man had already stolen it

While wearing a black helmet and breast plate

Cass and Max-Earnest chased him down

And got it back just in time

But not before the invisible man could say

They would be better off as mimes

Cass looked all around the stone

She found something so

She read off four important words

As Above, So Below

"Not everything is what it looks like"

A wise magician once said

Some things can seem like magic until

The explanation makes sense in your head
