A Daily Life in Past Jamaa (In Pictures)

In the dawn of Jamaa, when only Mira and Zios happily ruled over all the lands, all was good (yet very different from now) Animals had different life's from now, and rares and such didn't matter. Here is the Daily Life of two long-ago buddies who lived in Jamaa.

The Phantom's Curse: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I wrestled with my moss bed covers, throwing herself out of the tangling blanket mass. Everything was hazy streaks of light, and I gratefully blinked my eyes open.

Home, sweet, home were the only peaceful thoughts laying in my mind. The only thoughts in fact, until the reality of my dreams came spinning into my mind. I felt dizzy. I felt like the potato soup dinner last night would make a hasty reappearance. I felt like I needed to lay down.

Of course, I dismissed all these thoughts as a loud message had been announced from the chat board.

By the deep, loud voice I could tell it was Rain-Cloud That Pours Silver Drops. The love of my life. All the animals in early Jamaa had names of the things Mira dreamed of the night before they were born. My name is Mango Palm Thus Mangos Swing On. My best friend is named Milk-Coated Moon That Hangs Proud in The Night. Milk goes with rain much better than mangoes. Mangoes just turn into soggy mush after rain.

I lazily crept into my cluttered kitchen, too lazy to bother cleaning up. Realizing I had to get to Township soon, she swiftly ran to the Township.

I had always been breathtakingly quick, though rather small. I recalled my mother’s words when I had come to life, “She is much too small. She’ll only grow up to be a disappointment.”

I am determined to beat that fate and prove my mother wrong. My father believed in her at least. He believed I should join the team of animals that left Jamaa once a year, to travel across new land and defeat raging animals near Jamaa’s territory.

My father had declared, at the moment that I was sure to outrun them all. I may still be able to outrun other creatures, yet I don’t know if I can outrun my fate. The journey is only a few night suns away, and I am determined to enter. Even if I risk my life, I will die bravely. Doubt it. I’m terrified of entering, yet I will stay strong.

I just hope it’s much easier than fitting in. I have always had a serious personality, shockingly mature compared to my strong, rowdy peers who don’t see the purpose in staying quiet. Only a few, maybe 6 animals I know are even a dash bit different. Those are my friends. Well, most are my somewhat friends.

Me howling for my friends in Town Square

I spot those friends in the square. I pad over to them, joining in on their gossip-filled conversation. The call of Brook that Babbles Near the Oaks quiets us.   We stop, and listen to Mira’s shocking news.

The Phantom's Curse: Prologue

A legend from an unknown time period, written by olivejam.

Prologue

Night trickled upon the whispering shadows like dew to a leaf. If you had happened to be standing in a dark, musty square right upon the time of the crescent moon, you would have seen the three outlines of hazy shapes making plans in the darkness.

You would have seen the king, with a ghastly crown upon his head made of rotting bones, grin. The king only saved his grins for special occasions. Dark special occasions. 

You would have seen the flashing blade, and known of the splattering blood the phantoms planned of. It was quite a dark plan indeed, so dark you’d have nightmares for years to come.

Of course, all the animals were in bed that night, peacefully dreaming in the kingdom of sleep. Including you. You wouldn’t have known of all that. You’d simply know of dreams, and sleep, dreams and sleep as you curl in a cozy den.

None of that would concern you. Yet, if you had been out that dark night of a crescent moon on that square, you would have known of the phantom’s plans, which concern every, single, one of you.

Intro

Hey Jammers! As you probably discovered from reading my Animal Jam blog, I am OBSESSED with writing. I write anything, anywhere. (Stories, poetry etc.) This blog is about Animal jam stories I have written, based on Animal Jam legends and spirits, and my imagination of what Animal Jam was like long ago. I hope you enjoy learning about Animal Jam history! :D
