《THE WHITE ROSE PAINTED WITH BLOOD》xxi - the wonderland project
Advertisement
eyelashes thickly woven together and fluttered like butterfly wings
her face covered with drops of morning dew
she still looked as lovely as a girl - just a few years older than her students
and as her silk-lined voice passed over the room they spilled timeless truths and ancient secrets, they made the ears of the most fed up students bloom like sunflowers who hadn't felt sunlight on their skin for so long
looking down at her stack of papers, she picked up a few of them and started to read:
- This project is based on Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson)
- You will be writing poems based off Alice in Wonderland settings and characters. They can be a collection or a single poem. These poems will be done with a partner.
- Your partner is the person next to you in your new assigned seats
Creativity: __ / 50
Participation: __ / 20
Total: __ / 70
*Note: I wanted to try something new and give less requirements and more freedom for you yourselves to be creative and openminded. However, just because there are only two requirements for the project doesn't mean there won't be any expectations
- This project is for the a1ice magazine, a poetry magazine that wanted some student poems. They were looking for poems right when we began reading Alice in Wonderland, and I thought it would be cool to make it a project.
- Each pair will write the poems together, and the pair that scores the best from the rubric will have their poems published
- This is a competition where everyone wins even if one pair is chosen for publication
staring over the copy of the rubric on her desk, over the dark ink that screamed a million colors and threads of imagination for the new project, she felt something spark within her. she wasn't often excited for projects.
looking around at her desk partner of the assigned seats, she glanced at the boy in the hallway, his eyes blank as he stared down at the desktop.

Windwalker
Having subdued its surrounding enemies, the former Sulic Empire is faced with unrest brewing from within. Society is torn in two. The reigning mentalists constantly persecute the subjugated elementals under the pretence of curbing the explosive potential of their destructive powers. Meanwhile, schemes and political interests clash as different groups within the Governance military elite vie for control. And in the shadows, Sulic’s old enemies have been lying in wait a long time, looking for the first sign of weakness to make their move. Against this backdrop, two ordinary individuals fight to maintain stability from opposing sides: a low ranking telepathic recruit with nothing to his name but good intentions, and an unregistered elemental contractor with a murky past. Can they reconcile their differences and help steer Sulic away from tearing itself apart? Windwalker explores themes of societal struggle and self-discovery. Book One: Rising Wind Kal has trained to be a soldier his entire life. His days are simple, and his duties clear: enforce the rules, upkeep the peace, and most important — police the elementals. If they step out of line, the Governance system corrects it. But when Kal encounters a young boy whom he suspects might be an illegal earthborn, he can’t bring himself to report him. Despite his training and the advice of friends, he decides to help him onto what he believes is the right path. This choice lands him in more trouble than he bargained for, and he soon discovers that the veneer the Governance is built upon an ugly and crumbling foundation.
8 140The Blight
Ten years ago, the Blight appeared. A beautiful forest, where the leaves and animals glowed brilliantly at night. It became a wonder of the entire world, and people began venturing from across the continent to visit it. No one took it any more seriously than that, not in the beginning. Then the disappearances started. At first, it was just farm animals and pets. Then, hunters and travelers close to dusk. By the time children started disappearing from villages, it was too late to do anything. The Blight was spreading, from tree to tree like a sickness, crawling out in all directions. The animals and beasts inside it changed as well. They grew larger, stronger, and more ferocious than anything seen before. Simple farm animals became horrific monsters, distorted to disgusting proportions and violently spreading chaos out from the forest. When the first reports came in of infected animals dragging people alive off into the forest... then the real panic began. Towns fell to the Blight, then cities. Armies were sent to push it back, and were overrun. Heroes and legends ventured out, to no avail. Soon, it was public knowledge to all: Those who entered the forest, never returned. ...So what happens when a young boy comes out of the forest, carrying nothing but a dagger and remembering nothing but his own name?
