A boy named Roxer

A story of a boy who was given the magical power to control who he was. The power to change form and even grow wings. He can change into a fire breathing dragon or an old wrinkly man with the courage of a true warrior. The strength in magic as the most powerful wizard of Brock city. A story of a boy who doesn't know his own strength to stop all evil in the universe.Until today that is, he was just an eight year old boy in his normal life at home. he had no idea what was awaiting him in time-out today. He discovered a door in his room, a small round shinny door. The boy named Roxer opened the door today. A bright light beamed in towards him and then SHOWOOP! Roxer was sucked in this bright door in a snap! Where had he been taken to he wondered. And suddenly a voice from around the walls called out to him, "you were chosen my son" It said. "You you were granted the power to change, but if you refuse your duties you will be stuck who you choose last forever!" the voice continued, "You may be anything you can imagine, I'm leaving you my powers and hope you do the right thing. And with these words, the voice had gone away. Where could it had escaped this immortal world Roxer was stuck in?
"I want to go home!" Roxer cries out and when he opened his eyes he was in his room again. He tells his mom the story, but to her it was only a dream. How will he learn to use these powers. He tried asking out loud to be a dragon, but nothing happened. Could this truly have been a dream after all?

On Roxers walk home from school today he discovered a glass box with a fairy. The glass reads, "Bring life to your garden and fairies will come." "Whats your name?" Roxer asked the lonely fairy. "Its Arynie" she said. She is in a meadow and the weather is dark and cloudy. Lightning strikes and she uses her wings to keep herself dry from the rain. She is very sad because she is not pretty enough to enter the castle of wonders beneath the great tree. She will only unlock the door to our world when she falls in love. But she is all alone outside of that castle. Together the two fairies will create a key with their wings and together they will seek happiness in the outer realms of fairy meadows. But what can Roxer do? He is not a fairy, only an eight year old boy who opened a small door in his room. "Bring life to your gardens?" The boy wonders, "Why as this on the glass box?" With the boys laughter grass suddenly began to sprout beneath his feet. "WHOOA!", the boy screamed out. Then lillies and clover paths all around him where ever he went life would follow.
He heard the voice once more, "My son, you must keep life going spread it from town to town! Soon the world will be as I left it years ago!" The boy continued his walk proud and happy with the box held high in the air. Then the fairies began to rush out of the castle. Arynie was happy again and with this her wings became stronger, brighter and she was beautiful. She had many friends now and was asked to clean the rain. She buzzed around in this glass box so happy catching all the lightning with a big net. A gentlemen fairy took a liking to her strength and flew up to her. Holding hands they twirled their wings together and made a key. Roxer released the box of fairies and they flew off together. Roxer tried telling his mom the story, but to her it was only a dream.

While Roxer was at school today one of the fairies flew into the classroom. All of Roxers friends were picking on her and when a boy reach out a net to catch this pretty creature, the voice came out again. "Roxer, my son, you must stop these people from harming this life. Teach these people that they cannot hurt if they do not feel. She has done nothing wrong and does not deserve this. Fairies die when they cry." and with his love for this fairy and the strength to stop even the biggest friends, Roxer transformed into a dragon. POW! And then wings and giant teeth grew out from his scaley skin. First his coat was red, then blue, then orange and then... Spikey thorns came out from his fingers and toes and spikes poped out from his back.
Roxer and Arynie ran out to the playground and flew away making thunder storms in the clouds. The moon shined through the sharp hollow clouds and stars were out tonight. The boy and the fairy flew together to Arynie's home. Where all the fairies came together to stay safe. Arynie was Roxers message, and something Horrible happened to her home of Humbolp city. The rain has washed up all the tears of the world and drained them all to the fairies. They are running in panic and are running out of land to rest because the tears burn their wings. Many have fallen in to these puddles and without their wings they will walk mortal. What will Roxer do?
With all the strength he could pull he blew out fire from his gaping dragon jaws and burned away the tears. But just when life seemed easy for Roxer, giant muggles crawled out from the shadows of Hombolp. Big hairy creatures with fangs and stubby arms created an army and began shooting the fairies with tear dust. Oh what will Roxer do?
"Voice, Voice? I cry out to you. Guide me, help me What will I do?" The boy said out loud and suddenly a wizard came flying on a plantiffer, a magical creature who forces others to be happy and not corrupt. To bad the wizards Plantiffer was seriously injured by its crash landing skills. "Roxer", The wizard said, "something horrible has happened to the voice, he seems to have lost all of his thought marbles, and without them he has no voice."
"I am Woglart, I was sent here by the voice to inform you that all of your flowers have withered away and the weeds are taking over the land. Your friends are in great danger. You must show them the way, tell them to change or the voice will send out all the muggles to attack and capture them all!"
Oh what will Roxer do? How is one boy to be responsible for the world?
Roxer quickly flew away from Hombolp and back to his school, "Everybody on my back!" he screamed but only few believed him. Then, he went home to try and save his parents but to his mom, it was only a dream. "Everybody get in this door" he said directing them to the small shinny door in his room. Only few were small enough and curious enough to fit through the door, leaving all adults behind. Roxer crawled through this door small door in hopes to speak to the voice. "Voice? Hello?" with other small children in this room there were no unfaithful people to Roxer's plan. but Voice did not speak, only a small wrinkly man stepped into this room walking right through the wall. "Roxer, my son" the old man said, "Everything you have experienced is all part of what you had to go through. Everyone in this room is a part of you, you are seen as whole beyond that door and you must learn to help others change their ways to see the world for what it is. There is so much more to life beyond that wall I just walked through. So much more than being the popular one or the smart one. Roxer, my son, I am you voice, your flowers your power to change but without happiness, I do not exist. You must be happy no matter who tries to change you, just believe. Shut your eyes and link hands with everyone we all matter"

"Knock knock! Roxer? Timeout is over my son." Roxers mom's voice cries out from behind his bedroom door.
Oh but what will Roxer do?
Roxer ran out to his mom with a big hug told her the story and with laughter from her heart, Roxer made a believer.

Childs story I wrote today

Finding Yourself

There will be a far away place to find yourself. A place where the air is clean the sky is the deepest blue and no troubles lay ahead. A marron colored river rock you place between your palm and thumb and shut your eyes. A magical rock to take you to this place. But in the still of all movement when all is in turmoil and everybody wants to snatch your rock away it will be useless. In frustration you throw this rock as far as you can landing it in the deepest part of any river. And run away as everyone jumps in to get it. You sit on a log from a fallen tree and a boy stops to ask, “Why are you so sad?”...”for with the rivers and the trees you have everything you need” A boy with wings as you can see as you pause to answer him. “I've lost my mystical rock” you say, ”and I have no place to stray.”
“But do know this”, said the boy with the wings, “Look for the brightest flower blossomed in the weeds and beneath it all lays a very powerful thing. The power to create your own mystical rock. All you must do is believe, and when all is right you'll find your place.”
And so your journey begins
As the boy flew off slowly changing to a simple butterfly smaller and smaller in the sky you sat on that log and tried not to cry. You placed your palm on that tree and shut your eyes again.
The Bark of this old Maple tree is moving changing surface right beneath you. You open your eyes and a door you can see! But is it safe? Will you open it? You turn the crystal knob slowly and !POP! The door swings open and your sucked in quick falling. You reach in to grab anything around you and all there is is dark empty space. What will you do? What will you do?
Will you grow wings or sprout out springs so you can bounce back and land safely?
Will you grow legs as long as the sky to land on your feet and not on your side?
Will you grow arms as long as you need to reach the outside and grab the trees?
Oh what will you do? What will you do? Just as you would beg for help you land in this clear room. Windy your body rocks from side to side, cold and thick the air holds you under. And suddenly its Thunder! And drawn out from the clouds are two legs kicking and stirring up the wind. A pink bathing suit it wears and you get thrown everywhere! How are you soaring through the sky? You pause to think and wonder why. You jump out towards these legs like lightning and pinch the skin tight.
“OUCH!” muffled in the wind so loud. And suddenly arms reach in to grab you by the very clothes left on your body, You are brought to the surface. Grasping for breath you feel the sharp sting of the thin air you waited so long for. It places you between its palm and its thumb and its so BIG! It gets out of the pool of water and jumps up and down throwing you in the air only to catch you again. “ Your so cute, Im going to keep you forever!” It says.

You wake up wearing the most expensive silk robe in a palace all yours. There's even fresh bacon on the table. “AHH this is the life” you say aloud. You spend the rest of your day exploring the luxury, but you wish the light would come.
“Good morning Sunshine!!” said the Giant girl in your front yard. She removes your cover and bright light beams in through your windows, quiet is no more. As you run scared from her big fingers you see through the windows and discover your palace is nothing but this girls doll house. You creep beneath your bed to hide. Sad and lost you feel. “Who are you”, says a boy of your size.”This is my palace now get out!”
“But don't you see, we're trapped here forever by that giant and there's no escape!”
“Hey I know you, your the boy and the lake, sad and lost.” “I'm the boy with the wings, but she has cut them off detaching me from my knowledge draining me of my powers.” The boy continued, “I was so desperate for change I went out to take the mystical rock you so told me about.”
“I thought you were trying to help me and you only wanted it for yourself? I thought you were different!” You say to the boy angry.
“I'm sorry, can we still be friends and show each other the way? You have to let me do something after I tried to take your rock.”
“Just help me get out of here!” you say giving the boy a second chance.
Surely the boy with the wings will know of escape.

“You know this is no ordinary doll house my friend, the furniture changes everyday and the walls shift. One the third day of every week you may reach a secret door. A secret door to the basement and all is quiet to think,” the boy said. “I will show tonight the place she cannot see, there we will make our plans and friends we will be!” You and the boy creep real low, trying not to wake princess. Open the door and slide fast down this long tunnel!
Oh what will we do? What will we do?
Will we bite her finger just as the door opens? Will we ask her to join us in a cup of tea? Will we jump up and down and side to side and rock the house to bits?
“I know!, says the boy, “We'll make the giant love us just enough to grant us one gift. A toy airplane to fly right out of the window!” Its perfect! Its Brilliant!
Yes, we'll begin tomorrow, you both say as you fall asleep.

“Good morning Friends!” the giant says.
“Oh hello there our princess how are you today?” You say together. You play all day with this girl and never run or hide and then you ask her one request. She grants you an airplane to tinker with.

The next day you and the boy are up and running to escape with the plane. “Rev up the engine Charlie!” you say giving the boy a title he cannot resist. And !ZOOM!BOOM! BANG! Your out in these cute pioneer outfits flying out of the giant house and passing the giant barking dog.

“Where to?” You ask the boy. “Where are we going?”
“I don't know, seems I've lost my way without my wings, I know of nothing.”
What are we going to do? What are we going to do?
“There! Don't you see that tree?” said the boy. “That tree gives seed that grow 100 feet a night All we need to do is sneak one back to the doll house and wait for its roots to break through the walls. Then we'll grab my wings and go!”

You fly the plane right into the tree shaking its branches just enough to release one seed. And now you must find this seed on your feet and you are so little. You and the boy search quickly through the weeds and run right into a giant flower, just where you need to be.
“This is it!” You say, so excited. Here we'll make a mystical rock to share and go anywhere together! No more searching. Well stay here and make this together.”

“No,” the boy said, “I'm afraid not, don't you see? The rock was meant for you and the seed was meant for me. One of us must stay and wait for the rock, I'll have to get my wings alone.”

“Be careful my dear friend, I'll be waiting and when you get back we'll fly away together, we'll have it all!”, you say to the boy as he runs fast and far away.

You wait and still no sign of your friends return or the mystical rock. Frustrated you pluck the flower. Twice as tall as you and you are weak. The biggest Brightest flower in the weeds and charge screaming at the giant tree...
and suddenly

With this flower you turn the key the bark moves quickly upon the tree and you turn a door knob once more.
Your asleep on a log and wake to see a boy with wings flying with your rock.
It was the seed all along, and he stole this mystical thing. What will you do? What will you do?
Your best friend has betrayed your trust. Sad you stroll towards the river, roll up your pant legs and walk into the cold water. Only to find something very special. Something sparkling you dive in quickly and with this smooth river rock in the palm of your hand you stand up and see yourself in the reflection of the river in each breaking bumpy drop of water. You are a boy with wings yourself. You are your own person, and you dont need anybody to show you how to find yourself. No matter what happens there will always be a flower blossomed in the weeds, all you have to do is believe.
