A secret galaxy

Tonight I overheard ten-year-old Jon and nine-year-old Greg playing, and it caught my interest. I asked them to explain, and they were more than delighted to do so.

Jon explained, "We have created our own galaxy. We have planets, nations, moons, stars, and much more. When I become a movie director, I am going to make lots of money showing audiences our galaxy. It has infinite number os creature, aliens, weapons, planets and trolls."

Greg said, "The trolls have powers. They are in human form. They have a continent of their own called Tenechoctilan. There are three forests on the troll's continent. The Dark forest is on the Good Planet, which is filled with every creature you can imagine. The Forest of Death is on the Bad Planet, which is called Igneous Magmum, where all the trees are on fire, because of a yellow and green fire that never goes out, called Malctise. The Prickly Forest is filled with prickly trees that have spikes."

Greg and Jon continued, constantly interrupting each other in their excitement to tell me all about the trolls. "Trolls start out with only one power, such as Xray Vision, but they can earn more powers, like Sensing. The highest number of powers are held by Halstrin, who now has 300 powers. He is a Master Troll, like a King." Greg thought Halstrin has been alive for thousands of years, although Jon corrected him and said it was only 400 years. The reason for the confusion, I learned, is that trolls do not age. Their average height, by the way, is seven feet.

Yes, some trolls are evil. Sarvis is the Master of the evil trolls. His "main ambition" is to take over the entire solar system. So far he has killed millions of people. Sarvis, of course, has slaves, monsters called Chirloins. Sarvis made the Chirloins out of slime. He inserted souls into them, and they became Dremones. They look like regular humans, except they breathe gas, instead of air. They become ghosts and fly into people and take them over.

There are some humans in Jon and Greg's galaxy. One group of humans are called Sheridans. The others are Coraleins. Sheridans have a leader named Emperor Isaac Falco, who always wears sunglasses for no apparent reason. Coraleins are big, beefy guys who wear metal suits. The suits even have a bathroom inside their suits. All their guns are huge, and they look really weird.

Sarvis has a dragon-like creature who lives in the cliffs. His name is Zandernatch. He is "pretty scary."

I am not sure I have all this information correct, but that doesn't bother other journalists, so why should it bother me, a blogger in his pajamas??

They need to write the next best fantasy novel. Didn't you just love the Darth Vader AD?
