Can Money Buy You Happiness?

For me I would need to say yes and no, because with money I would have more props for my YouTube videos. Then I would make videos every day. Then one day I will wake up and all of a sudden I have one hundred thousand subscribers. I would be happy because thousands of people are watching me.  Just imagine one thousand subscribers watching me, and there's a plus to having money. The plus is drumroll please. . Anyway the plus is... I'll have enough money for my dream house and all of you can come and will have a party, and parties are fun. I would still be happy if I don't have money as long as nobody eats my drum rolls. If someone eats my drum rolls "  I can tell you I don’t have money; but what I do have are a very particular set of skills; skills I have acquired over a very long career; skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. I will find you and I will kill you."-Liam Neeson.


P.S that last part was a joke. I will not kill you.

the amazing saxophone player!!!

Meeda Orway and I play an instrument. He plays the tuba while I play the tenor saxophone. Meeda Orway blasted a sound in my ear and challenged me to a duel to see who is the best player. We met at the practice room and played Songs For Friends. I won. I won most of them besides one,the evil SEVEN NATIONS ARMY! I've never ever played that song before. He won the whole thing because he did so well on that song. Then I played in his ear and challenged him. I've worked really hard on Seven Nation Army, so I'm destined to win. A few minutes have passed and I am on the losing streak, and then Seven Nation Army comes up. I killed it! I won! Meeda Orway was crying. He ran to the door and broke his tuba. Then he looked at me with vicious red eyes. He had a piece of his tuba that was really sharp. I ripped a sharp piece off my saxophone, and when we charged, the band teacher walked inand put us in detention for an hour. he wanted us to try to get along with each other. We were fighting and fighting until I woke up in a dark room. A girl opened the door and said,"Hi honey." "Who are you?" I said. "I'm your wife silly, Meeda. Get up, we are walking through the woods." "What year is it?" I asked. "2016, stop messin' around with me!" She said nervously. We were walking through the romantic woods, and I asked her when we got married, how old we were, and a lot more stuff. I wondered why we got married. We were talking in the band room and then I got here. We talked until we heard SEVEN NATION ARMY! It was the real Meeda Orway. He came up to me and said,"Who is that girl? She looks like me." The two Meeda Orways were fighting until they both ran away. Weird. I ran away shouting,"I'M FREE I'M FREE!" but I didn't know how to get back home.

What Happens Next: Silvius' Story Pt4

Welcome back. Again I asked you a question and you responded. If you're not caught up with the story so far, read Parts 1, 2, and 3 here.
_________________________________________________________________________________

Forget running, I thought while charging into battle, words on my tongue. I spoke one and a flaming suit of armor surrounded me. I spoke another and my phoenix appeared at my side. I reached the man and chopped at the soldiers with my flaming sword. The first one was surprised as he was attacked, but that gave the others time to prepare. They backed away and then ran out of the tower. It was clear I intimidated them. I dismissed the armor, felling very tired when I heard the man scream out. The first soldier attacked him with his dying breath.

I rushed to the man's side, and tried to summon some fire to cauterize his wound, but nothing was coming. The man started to rasp, "You won't be able to summon fire no matter how hard you try. *cough* You wasted your magical energy fighting the solders. It will take a while to recuperate. *cough* I am beyond healing. *cough* Go to my friend on top of Mt. Kutachi. Tell him I sent you. *cough* He will be able to teach you in earth magic. *cough* Nova will lead you there. *cough**cough* Don't come back for me. *cough**cough* Tell him my name is V—"

He passed out. I felt for a pulse but couldn't find one. I knew I had only known him for a day, but I felt like it was all my life. I swore I would avenge his death. I rapidly ran out over the windowsill, and morphed into an eagle. Nova joined me at my side. He flew ahead of me and lead me into the twisting mountain range. We flew for hours, leaving me plenty of time to think about what happened. Fortunately, flying has a way of taking your mind off things. Finally, we reached the mountain. Nova came to rest on top of a small ledge in a cave. I changed back into myself, and Nova came and perched on my shoulder.

We walked into the cave. It grew darker, but not that dark as we wound our way down. I realized Nova was lighting it up. We reached what looked like a more civilized part of the cave and slowly walked into a huge room. I walked into the room and over a huge pile of boulders. It looked like no one had lived there in over a century, and it had caved in. I suddenly heard a rumbling noise being me, but before I could turn around I was snatched into the air. I looked up and saw a hulking giant behind me.

"Who are you?" he asked in a slow lumbering voice.

"My name is Silvius. I was rescued from the king when I discovered my powers by a man who lived in a tower. He trained me in fire magic, and said you could train me in earth with his dying breath."

"He is not my friend. He neglected me to my curse for years. Now he wants my help. I will train you in earth, but only if you promise to attempt to break my curse."

"I promise."

"Very well."

He lifted me higher up to his face. Then, he swallowed me! I fell down through his mouth and came to rest on a little island. I heard someone say hello, and I saw them walk out of the shadows.

"My name is Grudle. I was cursed into this body many years ago. Let us begin our training."

I heard the language wash over me again, but this time Grudle didn't say anything. It took about two minutes, and then we were done.

"Now, can I leave?" I asked Grudle

"You tell me," he responded, "If you bust out we are both free. If you don't you're trapped here forever."

I was quite upset, but attempted to use my newfound magic to destroy the shell. I focused deeply on the outer shell, and pictured it disappearing. I felt the words come into my mind. I spoke them. The wall got a tiny crack in it. I tried again. Nothing happened. I tried again, but it was useless.

"Looks like you're trapped in here, just like I thought," Grudle said

That made me incredibly upset. He was so stuck up. If I couldn't destroy the shell, I wasn't going to be trapped there with him. I charged at him, words of destruction on my tongue. I spoke them, and the entire shell fell apart.

"I knew that would work," Grudle said, "I was so infused with the shell that the magic got confused. I will go with you to usurp the king. I don't know who will train you in the other magics, but we can at least free the wizards."

I wasn't sure I trusted him, but I decided to ask some questions.

"How do I know I can trust you?"

"You don't, but you know I helped you."

"Where will we go?"

"We will go to a lesser outcropping of the kingdom where the king trains new wizards."

"Finally, what was the man in the tower's name?"

"He never told you? It is —"

A huge rumbling cut him off.

"Cave in!"

We ran out through the cave, until we reached the opening. We looked out, but didn't see anything.

"Well, let's go," Grudle said.

I wasn't sure if I could trust him...

Well, that is the end of part 4, tell me what you think in the comments. Should Silvius go with Grudle or strike out alone? You tell me for part 5 coming 2017.
