the great escape

Hello,

dear reader. You might be wondering who I am and what this is. Well, let me

introduce myself. I am Riot, the master of chaos and the ruler of this world.

Well, not yet, but soon enough. This is my diary, where I record my thoughts

and adventures as I spread my glorious chaos across the land. Why am I writing

a diary, you ask? Because I’m bored, that’s why. And because I want to share my

fun with someone who can appreciate it. Someone like you.

I have

been trapped in a stone prison for 10,000 years by the evil tyrant, Queen Diana,

and her despicable little sister Princess Selene. They are the ones who claim to rule this

world with their magic of harmony and order, ugh despicable. They are the ones

who oppress the people with their rigid laws and boring traditions. They are

the ones who fear me and my power of chaos and freedom. They are the ones who had

to be stopped not me.

How did

they trap me, you wonder? It’s a long story, but I’ll tell you the short

version. I was having fun with my glorious chaos magic a long time ago,

creating all kinds of wonders and surprises for the people to enjoy. I made it

rain chocolate, I turned the mountains upside down, I gave the animals funny

voices, and so on. It was a blast. But then Diana and Selene came along with

their boring magic of harmony, which they used to create six magical artifacts

called the Elements of Harmony (I know what amazingly creative names right).

They said that my chaos was disrupting the balance of nature and harming the

people. They said that they had to restore order and peace to the world. They

said that they had to stop me.

I

believe that Diana’s exact words were “Riot you are a danger to the good

people of this land, and we have no choice but to forcefully end your terror.”

They

attacked me with their Elements of Harmony, which were supposed to be powerful

enough to defeat any evil. But they were wrong. They underestimated me and my

chaos magic. I fought back with all my might, and we had an epic battle that

lasted for days. It was so much fun. We exchanged blows and spells, dodged and

parried, taunted and laughed. It was the most exciting thing that ever happened

to me.

But then

something happened that I didn’t expect. something that ended my fun. Celestia

and Luna used a trick to distract me for a moment and seized their chance to

strike me with their Elements of Harmony at full force. They hit me with a

blast of light that was so bright that it blinded me for a second. And then I

felt it. A cold sensation that spread through my body like ice. A feeling of numbness

that took away my senses and my magic. I felt trapped in a cage that I couldn’t

escape. A feeling of helplessness.

“It is

over Riot, you will never harm anyone else anymore,” Diana said annoyingly.

“What are you talking about girl? I can do this all da-” I tried to say before the

cold sensation reached my mouth and then nothing.

They turned me to stone.

They turned me into a statue.

They turned me into a monument of their victory.

They turned me, the master of all things chaotic, into a joke.

But they didn’t kill me.

They didn’t erase me.

They didn’t end me.

No…it was much worse.

They propped me up in their royal garden and left me there.

They left me alive…conscious…aware.

They left me alone…For 10,000 years.

10,000 years of silence

10,000 years of darkness

10,000 years of boredom.

Do you have any idea what that’s like? Of course, you don’t. You can’t imagine the

torture of being stuck in a stone prison for 10,000 years, unable to move or

speak or feel or do anything but look at the horrendous piece of Pidgeon dookie that

keeps you company and think and remember and hate and plot and wait for your

chance to break free and get your revenge.

And finally, that chance came.

I remember it like it was yesterday. It came on a sunny day in spring, when the

birds were singing, the flowers were blooming, and the people were celebrating

some stupid festival that they called the Summer Sun Celebration. It was a day

when they honored Diana and Selene for their benevolent rule and their

control over the sun and the moon. It was a day when they praised them for

their magic of harmony and order. It was a day when they forgot about me and my

magic of chaos and freedom.

But not anymore.

You see, they forgot a few things about chaos.

Chaos is unpredictable.

Chaos is unstoppable.

And most importantly

chaos will always find a way.

And so, it did.

It found a way through a crack in my stone prison that had formed over time most likely

due to erosion and weathering. It found a way through a spark of magic that had

remained dormant in my body. It found a way through a surge of power that had

been building up in my soul for 10,000 years like a bucket of mentos dumped in

Diet Coke.

chaos found a way out.

And I did as well.

I broke free from my stone prison with a loud roar that shook the earth and shattered

the sky. I felt my body come alive again with warmth and sensation coming back

to my fingers. I felt the movement and magic flow through me once more. I felt

my spirit come alive again with freedom, chaos, and fun.

“10,000 years will give you such a crick in the neck,” I said taking my head off my

shoulders and spinning it around crazily.

“It seems that the people haven’t seen anything fun going on with their same boring

lives for 10,000 years.” I smiled with a long and Grinch-like grin.

“Wait till they get a load of me.”

I was free.

I was back.

And I was ready to have some fun.
