The Red Land: Chapter 12

Time went by, and we finally got through the army.  When we were standing there, out of breath, we heard a voice.
"Hello."
I look behind me, and I see, standing there, Cinder.
"You got past my pathetic army.  I am impressed.  Too bad you will have to become one of them." He stated, with a smirk.
"Dad! You can't!"
"Do you want to be one?" He asked Victoria.
"You wouldn't." She replied.
"Didn't I just tell you I would?"
She was so full of anger, she launched the sword straight towards Cinder's face.  He opened the eye on his forehead and it turned red.  He stopped the sword in mid-air, bent it in half,  and threw it twenty-feet to the right.
He picked Joey up.  I quickly grabbed my sword, and swung.  I looked down, and saw Cinder's head laying on the floor.

The Art and Aspirations of a Commenter 
I believe in the power of a free exchange of ideas. I also recognize that words or access to
some information can be of harm to others, intentionally or unintentionally. As a
commenter, I therefore aspire to participate responsibly in the great online conversation
 by:
* treating all bloggers with respect.
* seeking first to understand what is being said.
* celebrating another's accomplishments.
* using school appropriate language.
* rephrasing ideas in the blog that made me think, made me feel, or helped me learn
to let the blogger know his/her voice has been heard.
* commenting specifically and positively, without criticism. If I disagree, I will
comment appropriately, politely stating my perspective.
* being mindful always that I may be a role model to my audience, especially if they 
are younger than I.
* making no reference to, link to, and/or giving access to any information that may 
 be inappropriate for a school setting.
* asking at least one question in my comment with the hopes of continuing a
conversation and deepening thinking.
* using a triple check before submitting any comment: Would I be happy to have my 
mother read this comment? My grandmother? My favorite teacher?
