Fable Haven Grip of the Shadow Plague
By: Brandon Mull

Summary

Fable Haven Grip of the Shadow Plague is about two kids, Seth and Kendra, their grand parents, and some friends that are all part of a secret society where hidden preserves that keep magical creatures from going extinct by making sure the part of the world that isn't helping them thinks they don't exist. Then there is the evening star. The evening star is a group or society of people that believe that the creatures that are held in the preserves should be set free and roam the earth creating havoc and ending the world, as we know it. The evening stars have set forth upon the preserves a shadow plague that is an evil darkness that is turning good creatures bad. The secret society at Fable Haven first learned about the shadow plague when Seth and the Satyrs [half goat half man creatures] Newl and Doren were taking him to the Nipsies [Nipsies are small harmless Brownie like creatures only smaller] to steal gold from them. But when they got there half of the Nipsies were very evil and were killing the good ones. When he got back to Fable Haven Seth told his grandpa about the Nipsies. His grandpa was very worried. Nipsies were not supposed to have an evil side to them at all. Every one started trying to solve the problem of the Nipsies but they could not find any thing on the subject. To make matters worse the Knights of Dawn, which are extra elite groups made up of "good" secret society members from the preserves all over the world, wanted to have Kendra join them. They want Kendra because she could use her gift of Fairy touch to restore seemingly spent magical items back to their full power. So Kendra went to the meeting with Tanu, Coulter, and Warren going as well to protect her. There Kendra discovered that the leader wore a mask so that his/her actual identity was unknown. Kendra joined up and was asked to go on a special mission to a different secret preserve

    Her story is filled with immense grief and pain, and the drastic consequences that result from the insanity of loving loved ones. The Plague is unforgiving and unbiased, as “wealth and connection are no shield” against it. Anna, a young mother of two, loses both children to the epidemic. She loved them ‘from the moment [she] reached down and touched the crown of [their] heads” and yet the place was ‘cruel’ and threw blows upon blows “so that before you have mourned one person that you love, another is ill in your arms”. The death of two young, innocent children is not only horrifying and heart-wrenching, but reduces Anna to “not really seeing anything. It is only the tragedy of losing her ‘babes’, husband, potential lover in Mr Viccar, that she turns to Elinor and begins to learn the arts of physick. An aspect of the time era this story was set in, was the people’s avid belief of medicine and herbs being the way of the witches. Instead of accepting Any and Mem Gowdie’s goodwill and knowledge that was “old before Mem Gowdie was even thought of”, they went to hire expensive physicians which ultimately give no help. Birthing places a woman in a fragile and vulnerable state, and yet “there were few who would do without Anys in their birthing room” despite many of them fearing that Anys was a witch. Although they hated the Gowdies’, ironically, when the death toll rises to where over two-thirds of the villagers lose their lives to the Plague, many people resort to witchcraft, believing the in the “ghost of Anys”. They place themselves through unnecessary punishment and pain, such as “boiling the babe’s piss” or passing a child “through the brambles”. Through desperation, flagellants also appear, desperate to please their God through self punishment. The villager’s lack of knowledge and unwillingness to accept views which lie…

    I do agree with this week’s speaker Sarah Lightheart one-hundred percent; I think that health is so hard to define because of the fact, there are so many different aspects of health. Health is not just eating right, exercising, and being social every now and again. There are six different dimensions of health that need to have some sort of balance in order to achieve the optimal level of health in oneself to in turn be healthy. To me, health does not mean that it you are lacking a little in one area of the six aspects of health that you are an unhealthy person, I feel that there needs to be more of a balance within all six dimensions. In addition, every aspect does not need to be at a maximum level for a person to be healthy; I personally focus more on the emotional, physical, spiritual, and social aspects of health and the rest just fall into place for me. With the exception of environmental health aspect, I do want I can but, I do not go out of my way to be more healthy in the environmental dimension, in which I do need to find more of a balance. In conclusion, the definition of health to me is a balance of all six dimensions of health I believe that each person has their own personal levels they need to maintain to be healthy, Every human has their own individual traits to be healthy, and what makes one person healthy may not do the same for…

    Sounds of men pulling potatoes out of the ground filled the air as the children ran around our huts like birds that filled the area. The sun gleamed in our faces while we watered the plants, our faces burned to ashes, while at night our only protection from the freezing, desert night weather was the dirt on the ground. A forbidden trail was on the west side of the country. Rumours say that the road may contain monsters, evil spirits and no end. Every man or woman who entered this area was never seen again. Screams were heard from the forests, accompanied by cracking of eggs. This is told to be the dragon’s egg cracking to attack the helpless victims of curiosity.…
