DARKCORNER LAND FEATURE: THE CRAZIEST WAVES YOU’VE EVER SEEN

“YOU MAY BE THE ONLY LIGHT THEY EVER SEE”

In this DARKCORNER LAND FEATURE you will travel far up north to the North Lake. Check the page DARKCORNER LAND to see it on the map. I’ll give you a hint: it’s in the north. The mystery in this post is what are people really looking for up there? The answer will be revealed in the end. You will need to put on about 5 fur coats if you have them because it will be freezing cold. Ready? Let’s go.

The North Lake is a really, really giant lake the size of the state of Iowa in the USA or maybe about the size of the country of Great Britain, more or less. First you have to climb through the Massive Icy Mountains which are really difficult to climb and extremely slippery. Then you will see it from a high distance. It’s a mysterious land up there and there are many dark places where all kinds of secrets could be hiding…

From the months of September-May the lake is completely frozen solid. From the months of June-August it is not, and that’s when you can see the waves active. These waves are unbelievably massive. They rise as high as city towers like in New York City or Tokyo. They rise up from different parts of the lake and crash at different points in the middle. Sometimes neon green lights appear before the waves block them. When they crash they thunder that seems like earthquake. No one has dared to try surfing or sailing in the waters, not yet anyway…

During the other months, the lake remains completely frozen, in fact, on September 1st at midnight, the lake freezes instantly, including the waves wherever they are. Some crazy people have sailed boats right before midnight knowing the waves would freeze before crashing on them. Other crazy people try surfing the great waves just before they’re about to crash, but they better time it right. The less crazy people wait until the lake has frozen, then go out and camp out on the lake. You can still see waters moving underneath and hear crashes below. The waters are amazing colours of blue, purple, green, and red, constantly changing and flashing all across the surface and below. Some crazy people of course will camp out when it’s close to midnight of June 1st when in an instant the lake unfreezes. Some of them wait until the last minute to get off the lake.

There’s something mysterious about this lake; the mad waves, the crazy colours swimming underneath, the dragging sounds, and the mysterious flashing lights in the surrounding mountains. Many people believe the aliens are doing something really mysterious and secret…

That’s why some people travel there, to explore the lake and see if they can find whatever secrets the aliens may be hiding. They think if they climb to the top of any frozen waves they might be able to see what the aliens are hiding. Would you go there? Would you try sailing, swimming, or surfing the crazy waves? Leave a comment below. Check out the next mystery challenge. After that is a bonus mystery story with a mystery challenge each chapter leading up to the first story in the series:

The Cashes Dade Ghost Strikers

Do you think the aliens are hiding something really secret up there? What do you think they might be doing? It takes people who are determined and crazy to even explore a place like this, but the people in DarkCorner Land may need these kind of people to lead them in a great revolution.

CHARACTER FUN FACTS: CADE MAYSON-MASTER TAG PLAYER

Do you like playing tag? More importantly, do you like winning at tag? Then you might not like playing tag with Cade Mayson. But you wouldn’t be the only one. The mystery in this post is what will Cade’s tag skills prepare him for? There will be a hidden clue. The answer will be at the end. Can you spot it?

You might not ever be able to catch him. I mean, you might be fast, but Cade is mysteriously fast. When he runs, he doesn’t start slow, then slowly build up his speed. In fact, he seems to have just one speed: Super Sonic Lightning Speed. He gets down low, then just shoots off. You don’t see him run, you just see a streak. At night, he’ll hold his blue shell at his side which gives off a blue light so when he runs, you’ll actually see a blue streak. From the sky, that’s all you would see, and then it disappears before you can get down to the ground.

You might be agile, but Cade can make about ten sharp turns in the time it would take a normal person to make one. In fact, that’s how he got out from a trap in school once. He had started a game of tag, then was surrounded by three people who were all “it.” He was on a table. He faked one way, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then with them all on one side, he shot out past them to the other side of the classroom. That’s when the teacher put a stop to it, since they were after all supposed to be taking a test.

You might also have great endurance, meaning you can run a long time without getting too tired, but Cade somehow seems to get even faster as the game goes on. Legend has it, a game of tag he started lasted for ten hours. He taunted some of them by walking up to where they were lying on the ground, half-asleep, and would slowly circle them while whistling and pretending to look away. Some poor souls fell for it and tried to get him, but by the time they got up, he’d be about a mile away, but laughing loud enough so they could hear him.

How good are you at tag? Leave a comment below describing how good you think you are. What are your favorite types of tag? How do you get away from the person who’s “it?” Let us know, do you think you could be the one to catch Cade? Be sure to check out the next DARKCORNER LAND FEATURE. After that will be another mystery challenge, see if you can solve the mystery.

Cade Mayson’s tag skills may be far more important than anyone realizes, because soon he won’t just be trying to escape his friends to avoid becoming “it,” he will have to use his lightning speed and creativity to escape the aliens who may be watching from the sky…

WHAT DID CADE SEE?

PROPHECY OF THERE:

“I see a mom crying because her son was playing in the street

She is afraid of the explosion she saw from her window seat

A child has tears in his eyes because his parents were in the tower

He saw the green fires shooting down on them with great power

It will begin when the Five Eagles meet at the hidden pool

They fly through the crystal blue sky of the western school

They will start the fire in the rough grounds of the border land

They’ll sing so bright, so loud, so strong forever they stand

The green light will first appear in the sky

Taking the shape of a flickering sword up high

Then the time will be near

What the rebels already fear

Look for the blood red clouds to meet across the night

What you will see then my friends is the mysterious sight

I see them stir powder in the fire to make it bright

Dark low black shadows begin to stretch from the light

They look like they are tall dark spirits dancing to their song

They don’t realize the aliens have been watching all night long

They will conclude these singers are creating a new sickness in the eve

They’re working with the dark ghosts they will believe

What they won’t realize is the powders are creating a type of smoke

This looks like dark spirits dancing which makes them all choke

They are exploring, searching with a strong fire light

But this creates mysterious shadows playing in the night”

CHARACTER FUN FACTS: CLIMBING

“YOU MAY BE THE ONLY LIGHT THEY EVER SEE”

There is no obstacle that Cade doesn’t think he can overcome. It doesn’t matter what it is, or how many ways a normal person could easily get past it, for Cade there is only one option: It must be climbed.

The mystery to be solved in this post is there is a certain mountain Cade really wants to climb. Why does he want to climb it? The answer will be revealed in the last paragraph. Can you figure it out?

Cade Mayson is a determined 12 year old and is the star character of the series. One of his favorite things to do is climb…anything. It doesn’t even matter if the obstacle is in his way. It doesn’t matter if there are rules against climbing it. In fact, if there are, he will definitely try to climb it. He wants to see the view from the top or see what it’s blocking.

If he sees anything that can be climbed, and I mean anything, he will climb it. He treats climbing even the smallest thing like it’s Everest. He’ll just stop and stare at the kitchen table with this strong, determined, yet anxious look with his hand on his forehead, pretending to gaze up at the really distant table top set a massive five feet above ground. Then he will give the signal. It’s the same every time. He holds his left arm up like he’s trying to hail a cab in New York City though he doesn’t know anything about cabs or New York City. Then in a really fast motion he’ll put his arm down and go for it.

For Cade, it’s not enough to just climb something, it has to be climbed fast. He takes one giant step, then jumps up on the table. He will raise his arms high in victory and pretend to shout down to the others as if they can’t hear him even though they’re standing just a few feet away. I wouldn’t recommend trying this at home. You see, furniture is made really well in his country and can hold up under a lot of pressure. Your kitchen table could break or get messed up. It would be better to try your climbing outside.

Cade may not have climbed Mount Everest yet, in fact he’s never heard of it, but he has climbed mountains, including one that the aliens forbid students to climb. Are they worried for the students’ safety or are they trying to hide something? Cade discovered something bizarre at the top. That’s why he’s planning to go back. The next post will reveal what he found on the mountain top. The clues will be in the prophecy. Can you figure it out? He made it past their defense before, but will they be ready for him this time?
