• The Kanachi and the Marvelous Land of Bagels
    By: MuffinNomNom

    The Kanachi is a semi-aquatic animal that lives in the warm waters and sky of the Mashai World. The Kanachi is an omnivore and its diet consists of Flying Manta Rays, Crescent Coral, mushrooms, fish, and various fruits. Crescent Coral is a rare solitary coral that grows in a crescent shape. The coral glows at night, as well as the tiny floating plants; the glowing organisms make it appear as if there is a shimmering sky in the ocean. When hunting, the Kanachi uses it's long tail like a whip to knock out it's prey. It also has tiny sharp teeth in its evil little jaws. Don't stare at its eyes too long, or the evil will seep deep into your soul. (O_o)
    There once was an old legend about the Kanachi. Well, it's not so old, since I made it up just now. Anyway, there was a Kanchi named Peyo. He had a happy life of feasts from his kill. Yes, yes, it was so grand......until THAT DAY, that horrible fatal day. On that day, Peyo's life was sent spiraling into a sequence of events that would seal his fate.
    Peyo was lazily resting under the shade of a giant mushroom when BAM! A giant serpent monster burst through the mountainside and created an avalanche. Peyo began to fly away when a huge boulder hit him. Oh no! PEYO!!! He splashes into the sea. He kept sinking to the bottom, but alas, something strange was happening. A underwater current swept Peyo away into a dark tunnel. Peyo couldn't fight the current. A MAGICAL BEAM! A SHINING LIGHT! *Gregorian monk chat begins*
    When Peyo came back to reality, it wasn't the reality he expected. He was in a rolling meadow of sweet scents. There were no creatures of any sort around. Peyo began ambling about. He came to a stone. And on that stone was a plate. And on that plate was a bagel. Peyo must've been thinking “Ah, a gift from the heavens.” But of course, he was wrong. This was in fact a gift from the blue devil himself. Peyo was ready to eat that bagel when it JUMPED RIGHT AT HIM! “What are you doing man?! Are you a cannibal?!” As the bagel began threating Peyo's life and yelling feverishly at him, Peyo must've been thinking something along the lines: “Oh dear, what's this? I have happened upon a talking bagel. Did he just call me a cannibal? Then that makes me a bagel. Should I go check by looking into the reflection of a pond. But what if I fall into that pond? I would become a soggy and undesirable confection.” The bagel then dragged Peyo out of the field and into a town. Miraculous, isn't it? That a bagel could drag another without having any appendages.
    In the outskirts of town, Peyo suddenly spotted a beautiful Éclair. It was actually the Princess of the Imperial Bagels. She was dressing down today, in hopes to not draw much attention, chocolate sprinkles instead of the flamboyant rainbow sprinkles that the monarchy wore. Peyo was dragged into a back alley, out of public view. Peyo had unfortunately appeared in the Land of Bagels during a war. All the bagels were against all other baked goods. A revolution against the Imperial Bagels as well. Peyo suddenly twisted free of the bagel who was holding him with a nonexistent hand. He followed the princess to the Imperial Bagel Palace in the Sand. Peyo composed himself and walked closer to the Éclair. Strangely, the Éclair called to him. She told him of the war and asked what he was doing in the Imperial Bagels' Land. “You are not a normal bagel, are you?” she questioned. Peyo was not indeed. He was a specially made bagel, he was in fact a artisan made bagel. He was created with the finest ingredients. He had a smooth outer exterior and a fluffy white inside. “Would you mind doing me a tiny errand? Would you drop of this letter in the mailbox beyond this street?' Captivated by her charm, he could not decline.
    Peyo made his way there, unknowing that this simple task was actually a test to become one of the royal guards, who are known as the BG's or the Baked Goods. In fact, it is in their national anthem. “Oh Imperial Bagel in the sand, we shall obey the Baked Goods of our land.” The Imperial Bagel is the monarchy of their country, by the way. So, Peyo merrily skipped with his invisible legs down the road. He found the mailbox and was about to drop the letter in when SOMEONE GRABBED THE AIR WHERE PEYO'S HAND WOULD SUPPOSEDLY BE! Peyo was pulled into the mailbox. It was the terrorist bagels. The mailbox was actually their secret base. Oh no, what were they doing?! WHAT IS THAT?! Peyo? NO!!! Then they stuck Peyo's bagel body into a toaster and fried him to his crispy death.
    Peyo then suddenly awoke. Where was he? Hadn't he just died as a bagel? Peyo was once again a Kanchi. Finally, he was a beast and not a delicious pastry. Peyo decided that he was an extravagant dreamer that day.
