Tonight Aiden, you will sleep. For by and by an epic battle will rage, and magic and warfare will return to our kingdom. “But—” “Go now,” he ordered. The ground spit and I was free-falling through a muck-filled tube like Santa Claus sliding down the chimney. I would love to lie and say that I had some profound epiphany on my way down. That I laughed in the face of danger while singing “Que Sera-Sera.” But my only thought was Eeeekkkkk as a landslide of beetles, gnarled roots, monstrous purple earthworms, and red dirt tumbled in and out of view.

The constellation I have chosen to study for this assignment is that of Lupus. Lupus is Latin for “wolf” and is located in the southern hemisphere and was one of the 48 original listed by Ptolemy, a second century astronomer, despite previously being an asterism associated with Centaurus. In mythology, it is thought that Lupus represents the African dog of the first King of Arcadia.

They had and unlimited amount of space to write anything they like. In pottery you only get a certain amount of space to express your work of art, and you need more…
