Chapter One: The Gospel Truth
A young boy, no older than seven years of age scampered into his blue themed room, plopping himself down on his race car bed causing him to bounce a few times. He smiled cheerfully as he snuggled under the covers and pulled them to his chin as his Mother slowly strode into the room with a sweet smile on her face. She pulled up a stool next to his bed and brushed some hair out of his face.
"Alright little man, time for bed." His mother said. The little boy known as Jeremy pouted a bit while shaking his head in protest.
"Mommy, can I have a bed time story first?" Jeremy asked giving his mother a boyish grin. His mother let out an exasperated sigh while running a hand through her hair. She knew exactly what story he was looking for.
"Okay. Well it all started long ago in an ancient land known as Greece far away…" She began. Jeremy listened intently as his mother continued his favorite story…
A voice sighed and the noise echoed off the walls of a dimly lit room filled with different statues depicting the strongest of heroes and the greatest Gods to live on mount Olympus. Each piece of art depicted a story of timeless greatness and strength but only one told the greatest story of all. Sitting on a pillar was the vase that held the story of one of the greatest heroes to walk the earth.
Depicted on the vase was a boy who was the definition of strength and determination. He was having a battle with a lion on the vase and on top of that painting was a more miniscule painting of five girls who didn't seem too excited about the way the story was being told.
"Long ago…in the faraway land of ancient Greece; it was the Golden age of powerful Gods and extraordinary Heroes…The greatest and strongest of all these heroes was the mighty Freddules…but what is the measure of a true hero? Now…that is what our story…" The ominous voice was abruptly cut off by another who sounded rater annoyed.
"Hold up! Hold up! Do You hear this guy!?" A girl exclaimed to her fellow vase buddies. "You're making this seem like…some Greek tragedy!" She added shaking his head in dissapproval as she playfully placed a frowning mask over her face. This girl was referred to as Mandy.
"Yea, lighten up dude!" Another girl said shrugging her shoulders in sheepish manner. Her name was Valerie and she was garbed in robes nearly identical to the four other girls that shared that spot on the vase with her.
"Don't worry, we'll take it from here darling." The center girl known as Carly said waving her hand nonchalantly. Her fellow vase mates nodded in agreement to her statement and she smiled.
"You go girls…" the ominous voice said smoothly as a beat began to play in the back ground. The five girls swayed their hips in perfect sync and exactly to the beat as if they had been practicing it for ages.
"We are the muses…" Carly began as the four other girls crouched down to let her take over. She raised a hand and smiled proudly as she continued. "Goddess of the arts and proclaimer's of heroes…"She added as she flexed her muscles on heroes.
"Heroes like Freddules..." Valerie mused as she took the hem of her flowing skirt to fan herself as she swooned at the mention of the demigod.
"Girlfriend, you mean Hunkules!" Mandy corrected as she fakely fainted with the back of her hand to her head. She smiled as she fell to the lower area of the pot, landing in the crook of Freddules neck on the painting of him on the vase. "Ooh, honey I would like to make some sweet music with him!"
"He's such a…Hero!" Valerie giggled as she hugged herself and swayed from side to side. Carly gave her a blank look and shook her head.
"Our Story," Carly began sternly getting her fellow Muses back on track and out of their little admiring session of the mighty Freddules. "Actually begins long before Freddules." Carly said as she bent over and waved her hand. The border that was going around the vase moved at the whim of her hand and formed into a staircase. "Many Eons ago…" She trailed off as she led the way down that stairs with Valerie, Shannon, and Dani following her.
The song began to pick up and Shannon hummed a few notes before the lighting shifted and they began to walk together in sync to the beat of the music. Carly began to sing the story that was rudely interrupted before and was being told horribly by the ominous voice beforehand.
"Back when the world was new, the planet earth was down on its luck…" Carly sang as they made their way down the stairs. Mandy gasped as she was still admiring the Freddules painting for too long and was left behind. She lifted her dress and scampered down the steps to take her spot behind Mandy. "And everywhere gigantic brutes called titans ran amuck!"
They passed by another vase which had pictures of four different monsters, also known as the Titans destroyed anything in their path causing some of the vase to chip away and shatter in front of Mandy who gasped.
"It was a nasty place! There was a mess wherever you stepped," Mandy inserted as she lifted up her skirt a bit and tip-toed her way across the shattered glass.
"Where chaos reigned and earthquakes and volcanoes never slept!" Carly continued shaking her head sadly but then a sudden smile appeared on her face and she returned to the line as a spotlight seemed to focus on the five muses.
"Whoo sing it girlfriend!" Mandy encouraged as the music began to build up.
"And then along came Spence!" They chorused together gesturing upwards. On another vase a picture moved like animation as a man in his early twenties broke through the clouds with a thunder bolt in his hand. He looked like the definition of raw power.
"He hurled his thunder bolts!"Carly sang strongly as the depiction of the God Spence…or Spencer hurled a thunder bolt.
"He Zapped!" Shannon, Dani, Valerie, and Mandy sang in the back ground.
"Locked those suckers in a vault!" Carly continued as another vase showed the four dangerous Titans falling into a hole that was sealed by electric bars.
"They're trapped!" The four girls sang again raising their arms in the excitement of the song.
"And on his own stopped chaos in its tracks!" They all sang together while placing a hand before them in a stopping motion before raising one hand and placing the other over their heart.
"And that's the gospel truth!"They swore with an affirming nod.
"The guy was too type A to relax!" The five of them formed an A with Carly being held in the middle with a bright smile plastered on her face.
"And that's the world's first dish…" Shannon giggled as the five of them relaxed on an ancient Greece plate.
"Yea girlfriend!" Mandy called out.
"Spence tamed the globe while still in his youth!" Dani sang gesturing to a vase which showed Spencer holding up a thunderbolt up in one hand and an odd looking piece of art was clutched to his chest in the other.
"Though honey it may seem imposs'ble, that's the Gospel truth!" They sang together as they waved their hands playfully before placing a hand over their hearts and shimmying their shoulders.
"On Mount Olympus life was neat and smooth as sweet vermouth!" They sand dancing around a plate that showed a very large mountain that went straight into the clouds. Carly twirled in the center and winked.
"Though honey it may seem imposs'ble, that's the Gospel truth!"They sang as they twirled around and separated to either side of the plate as it became real; traveling over the landscape Mount Olympus came into full view…
I hope that was good enough and I did the story justice and didn't make it sound stupid and/or bad. Well thank goodness it's Friday because school was getting on my nerves…whoo oh well. Just review and tell me what ya think.
Rock on ANMProductions!
