    Story in a Box

    Centi was the ruler of the great land of Meter. He had just finish taking down the demon that kept haunting his land and the people that resided within. He beheaded the evil spirit and locked it away in the enchanted, ceramic jar and given it to one of his trusted soldiers. The soldier, Ottis, was to careful transport the jar with the evil head trapped inside to a remote village where a monk statue lives. Once the soldier arrives to the monk statue, the evil spirit head would then be destroyed forever.
    On this journey, Ottis was provided with a 200 year old blanket that was blessed to protect him from unseen dangers. He is to travel by boat down the Nile River in order to get to the statue. He was also given a leather wallet with some currency of this village to keep him fed and clothed.
    When he finally arrived to the village, the ventured through the forest and stumbled upon a chestnut tree. There, he sat down and saw an old and painted plate at the root of the tree. He decided that as a traveler, he should take home the plate with some of the chestnuts to his own village to share. After he collected his souvenirs, he continued on his journey to the monk statue.
    After another hour of hiking through the forest, he found the tall statue and set the jar under its feet. The jar began to quiver and it bursts into flames. Ottis stood and watched in fear as the jar broke into tiny pieces and green smoke rose. Ottis has done his job and was able to return safely to his village where his people will be able to live in harmony once again.
