After Hercules returned from the underworld on his latest quest he went to king Eurystheus for his next quest. Eurystheus sent him on a quest to find the mirror of knowledge which was in the middle of the Egyptian Empire.
So Hercules had to travel to the Egyptian Empire to retrieve the mirror so he traveled for a year on a camel to Egypt. Where he hid himself and went among the people as a priest. And for about a week he gathered information until he discovered that the mirror was to be given to the king as a wedding dowry for his daughter. By a son of a rich merchant who had acquired in on his travels.
So Hercules went to the merchants home to preach a sermon to the servants. And after the sermon he left the walls of the merchant’s home. And after dark he snuck in and found the sons chamber and quietly lifted it and was leaving when he dropped it on the prince. The mirror being a heavy one it broke the son’s leg and arm. The son woke up screaming and Hercules was pursued for about a mile until he was winded so he stopped and quickly decided to use the mirror of knowledge. But in his haste he tripped and fell in to it and instead of breaking it he fell in to it and ended up in…
 Mrs. Carters 2010-2011 Honors English Class. Hercules found himself in the middle of a greater challenge. He had to survive Mrs. Carters 2010-2011 Honors English Class. Challenges like banner the tripper of the class and the wrath of Mrs. Carter. But he did and after the final test he was sucked into his monitor and returned to the desert where he defeated the Egyptians Beowulf-Style with a few trips in the mix (Thanks to Mrs. Carter and Banner). And turned the mirror over to Eurystheus. And he got sent on his next adventure.

The Creation of The Wolves

The gods thought there were too many herbivores, like elk, deer, and rabbits. So they decided to create predators. But the hard part was there had to be balance. So the reason the gods didn’t create a super-smart super-strong take down machine. Was because they had rules that said there had to be balance in their creations. For example if there was a big animal it would have to be slow or dumb. Or if there was a small creation it would be smart or fast, or a little of both.
So their first creation was little carnivore bunnies. That did help with the control of the herbivores but the gods thought they were too vicious and destructive so they just destroyed them, or turned them in to regular rabbits.
   Their next creation was the wolverine. It was a fairly fast and had enough strength to take down a bull elk. But it was not the smartest bean in the bucket and could survive on almost anything, leather, dead stuff, berries, roots, etc. So it was a lazy bugger and didn’t want to put in the effort in to catching the deer or elk.
The next creation was the coyote, which had the brains and the cunning skill, but not the strength to do much damage, but it and the wolverine

My First Major Scar

I have two cool scars on my forearm and lower-bicep. The story to these scars is when I was a little kid about three; I had this little Fisher Price three wheeled tractor toy that I got for Christmas. Well we lived on the Navajo Reservation (because I’m half Navajo) so we didn’t have very much access to water, but the water that we did have wasn’t heated. So to take a bath we had to heat up the water over a stove until it was boiling and then you would pour it in a metal watering trough that was filled half way with water until it was the temperature that you wanted. Well when my dad was heating up water he was taking in to the water trough I was on my Fisher Price toy and was hitting his leg and saying “dad, dad, dad.” So he turned around and when he did the boiling water splashed and some of it landed on my arm. A nd that’s how I got my scar.
