Chapter 3: The Shop
Hi and welcome to the new official chapter of: The Pagans come to Town. My operations went well; I was knocked out with General Anaesthetic. So I didn't feel or see a thing, half of the stapes came out; on Saturday 6th March and the rest came out on 9th March. And before you ask, yes them coming out was painful. And Reneko-Chan, I don't know if Silas Landon is a boy or girl.
Alex is my OC. South Park belongs to Trey Parker and Matt Stone
OCs belonging to others, please see the bottom.
Alex and her new friends were walking down the main street. "So this is the first time, for you to be in public school Alex? Vivi asked. "Yes, while we lived in New York, the only good school was a private school which was for all religions, Christian or otherwise". "What was wrong with the other schools?" Angie asked. "Well from what I heard, they were full of drugs and thugs. And we are here".
Outside the shop (this is what, Alex and co see): The front of the shop was a light purple, above the door was a sign saying; The Golden Sunflower with a picture of a sunflower, and below this was another sign saying; for those who seek the ancient knowledge. Looking through the wide front, you could see some of the curiosities, but in just in front of them was a tank with an Asian Water dragon looking out. The door was in the left side of the shop, it was also a mixture of dark blue and light blue with a small window, on the window was a notice with the words:
This shop is named in honour of the victims of the Koke earthquake. The story behide the sunflower and the earthquake. A young girl, planted a sunflower seed into soil in her garden, but she didn't live to see the plant blooming as she was one of the victims of the 7.2 magnitude quake. Her sunflower however was blooming shiningly in the middle of the destruction. Later Japan was filled up with sunflowers for the victim's memories. Also a childhood friend of the shop's owner was Koke, when the earthquake stuck; she was studying the natural force that killed her.
So if there are those among you, who would attack this shop of religion, please think before you act. Some of the money from this shop goes to help countries who have seen and felt the Earth Mother's power.
"Well this it, want to come in?" "Lead on Alex". The girls entered the shop, inside was like walking into a nature wonderland:- the walls were painted to look like a forest, the ceilings was painted to look like a sunny cloudless day, and finally the floor was painted to look like a forest floor, complete with dead leaves and mud. In the air was the strong scent of Sage incense, mixed with the faint smell of paint fumes.
A rack of shoe coverings were next to the door, to protect the floor paint that was still wet in places. There were also wet paint signs up.
(I am going to list the shop objects, also please note if you see this *, if means they are not there yet or finished).
In the left side of the shop – was a bookcase, which was filled with books about the Pagan religions of Wicca, *Druid and Shamanism and ancient cultures.
In the back
Left side – the counter and glass cabinet: - filled with rare gemstones, necklaces and bracelets with feathers and gemstones. *some fossils including a dinosaur leg bone, fossil fish and a fossiled egg.
Right side – a tall glass cabinet: - filled with *large dragon figures, large fairy figures, crystal wands and wooden wands and tarot cards.
In between them was the backroom for storage.
On the right side of the shop was 4 shelves. Which are too be painted in black and silver.
1st shelf – Egyptian figures – including a beautiful figure of Isis with wings outstretched, *Laughing Buddha figures and Lucky Elephant money boxes.
2nd shelf – *candles of every colour, some are scented and the candle holders. Incense sticks and their holders. One holder with a dolphin on it was holding the sage stick that was burning. There were also brunches of herbs.
3rd shelf – *animal figures, *power animal cards, small dragons and fairies figures and finally *crystal animals.
4th shelf – gemstones with labels saying what each are, spell kits, arrows with different words saying love, peace or happiness and also arrowheads.
In the middle of the floor was the clothes racks, *with fair-trade clothes which had a hippy twist to them. The clothes were long lacy skirts, cloaks, capes and ponchos of every colour under the rainbow. They were for every size, from the very small to the very big.
"Wow Mrs SnowRaven, this shop is amusing" said Angie, "Why thank you dear, but the shop isn't filled it, there's still more stuff to come out". "We'll help, Mrs S, right girls" Lily. And so the five girls helped Alex's mother set up the shop.
After 2 hours the other girls left to go home. Alex turned to Mary, her mum "You made some new friends, Alex". "Yup and some enemies too" "what do you mean?" "Oh I had a little run in with the popular girls, honesty these girls; think, sleep and eat celebrity". "Well I hope you weren't too hard on them, (after seeing the time) we better get home, your father is picking up a Chinese". And so the two left the shop.
Later that night:
Alex was finishing her Geography homework; she had to write a story about a volcano eruption from history. Alex's room is a light purple colour with a wooden floor. A tank was sitting in a corner of her room, housing a male bearded dragon; said dragon was hunting for inserts in his tank.
"Alex bed time" her father shouted, "ok dad" she answered back, before getting changed into her night clothes, brushing her teeth and hair, turned off the light and finally laid down.
Sorry if it's not the same, I find it hard to type with my left arm.
