"Jayde, you ok?" a voice said. She tried to open her eyes, but they wouldn't budge. She heard voices all around her."Step back, she needs air."
"What she needs is a bucket of ice water."
"She's unconscious, and it's all the human's fault!"
"Hey, it was your fault for interfering!"
"Yeah!"
And with that, she heard fighting, she heard voices all around her, and they seemed so familiar. She tried of breathe normally, she tried to move a muscle so that she could prove that she was alive, but she couldn't. The weight of her arm was too much. Then she felt someone try to jerk her awake.
"Jayde, wake up, please," the first voice said again. This time, Jayde forced herself to open her eyes, and found herself to be looking at Samuel.
"You ok?" Samuel said, helping her sit up. Jayde looked around the room. Everyone had left, it was only Samuel and her as far as she knew.
"Um, I think so," Jayde said, finally starting to feel energy flow through her. That's when she realized that she had been feed a magical drink that had helped her regain her energy.
"It's a magical substance with a weird name, it's, ah, um..." Samuel started.
"It's oligraphikis, isn't it?" Jayde suddenly answered. She couldn't believe it, she had remembered it.
"And I've made my choice," Jayde said, standing up and walking outside with Samuel right behind her.

Jayde had gathered everyone in the court.
"I've made my decision on who I'm going to fight for," Jayde said, making sure everyone was listening.
"So? Who's it gonna be?" Samantha pressed.
"I'm going to fight for my home. My real home, my kind, my forest," Jayde said quickly. "But I plan on making peace. The city does need to expand, but maybe it can expand up, not out."

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?
