He looks up and slinky was spitting down at the dried grass and dandlilions in his front yard from his room. He stays outside because Eli wanted to tell them all about slinky.

10:08 am	another thing (s)... The Three that Await... is a good idea I like the idea of "a raw 52 degree day" One of the amazon's had a son, and kept it... against all wills "The hitman in the beginning: He had twenty five dollars in his pocket. Twenty five dollars to his name and his son back home. A few monthes ago, he was a man who could give that kind of money to a nice cocktail waitress. He took a cab for the entire distance. He didn't want to see any cops His mustache had grown out for the first time in his entire life Also include the amount of poverty that was in the town he was in. He was still rich compared to many of them ---- Notice the difference between Palmer and him and Cal and all of them. Cal doesn't understand the difference at all because he's lived so differently Dim light reflected off a dirty tamborine --- And in return Geo told Cal what little he knew of his own ancestor's history. It suprised Palmer that Cal had actually known little to nothing about white people, especially for one who was taught english He stared at his warped reflection in the empty, silver whisky flask in his left hand. --- remember, eli's nussance and complaints seem to lead them into disaster - not fate --- In the bar there seemed to be a rather nerdy and strange mean. Across his chubbu shoulders were thin strands of long hair. Glasses covered the eyes that were directed to only a book. He was shifting his rather large body from side to side to get comftrable. Slinky began to say "i wander if that's how they break all of their cha" Eli slapped her hand over Slinky's mouth and held it there for some time. ---- He was so in love with her, that one of the deadliest killing machines was produced in her name ------ --- (Comment on this)
9:48 am	idea for chapter names i believe that the first three chapters should be just the names of places they take place in. The Broken Chair in spainish is the name of the bar pifflin is at in the beginning... it is known as the broken chair because broken chairs from drunken rage and stupidity created them. PS. Side note soon to be deleted... Have the government dude explain to palmer that "most importantly" Palmer must be a civilain pilot so should he be found he will not be traced back to them. Other reasons are that there are leaks in the strongest of military securities and that simply their pilots are too busy. Add in some kind of suspicion that he is lying to him, though. Maybe a flawed clue. (Comment on this)

12:17 am	The Bloom The Bloom In order to survive the bloom must be eaten by a bug – however – although the leaves are considered to be the sweetest nectar in the world the seed, if ever reached, is extremely poisoness. The fragile seed gives off a scent that is as sweet as the leaves. By the time the bug swallows it, the bug will fall to the ground and parish leaving the seed ready to grow at the exact spot where it has died. “People can change. Kingdom’s can crumble but as long as there is life the cryptess bloom will never move.” Monkeyman “Almost once a year I’ll watch and see what life on this small island it will take next and wander if it’ll be me come last day before fall” (Comment on this)

12:06 am	Theives version 1 Theives – Forty, No more – NO less In every culture there has been a symbol for the dragon – from the orient to medieval Europe Many myths are things that were with held from most historic documents for the sake of people’s existence. Yet what most people do not realize is that there are a few things that are not told for protection of the secretly hidden object – without verifiable proof- they become just a myth Through out most of history if there was a war that they were ashamed of losing they would take it out. They would take out anything not good just like a team does not advertise their embarrassing moments in history. The thieves would have to fight language barriers leaving enough time for the Amazon’s ingredients to be hidden for good. This caused them to change and expand their business They way they recruit is similar to the way Jehovah’s witnesses sell Bibles They became thieves again to support their mission Yet they are theifs, perhaps they will use authorities to clutch them Future Characters Yamini She loved him so much that she broke her oath and told him the location Ashvin (Comment on this)
12:05 am	Sailors Version 1 Sailors The moon controls the tide and the waves for sailors In the Aliance the sailors would know of the places and keep away from them They would also promise to tell the sisters if someone would want to come near it Thus they received good hospitality (Comment on this)

12:03 am	Nuns Nuns They were three sisters who received visitors from around the world each day but not one had bothered to learn a single word of English The nun’s house consisted of seven room, one for each nun. They used to have four guest rooms before Eli moved in but the 3 are for sailors - they had a small collection of books The sister’s ran a cafeteria like restaurant where all they ask of you is a small tip. Eli would get it all. Sailors usually dock on Tuesday, thus their busy night. They became a secret society of women because what they hid made them the least expected “The nun’s were so rough they could drink sea water” It sounded as if they were talking gypsy Although Amazonian they picked up on other cultures quite quickly “Why do you think they became nuns?” “Because there is no knighthood for women” – joke by Eli Contesta – Cait. She takes care of the farm Celerina- Carley She takes care of the food Carminda – Gramma is a bit insane and senial It was quite suprising that they never prayed or went to church ”My heart bears the emptiness and longing to return one day to our nation.” Amazons had different positions Healer Warrior Priestess Truth Speaker Soothsayer Keeper of Memories Channeler of Energies There were two types of queens one was for defense one was for domestic duties Crescent Shields and welding spears Bow Shield Small Sword Amazons tattooed themselves Great Tamers of Animals Cappadicia, Samothraca, Lesbos, found the cities of Smyra, Ephesus, Cymes, Myrine, and Aephes They helped fight in Tory Horses: Stallions replaced the men in their lives White stallion would be sacrificed The grandma is hard on the horse tamer she doesn’t like the white horse living there Horses are sacred to the moon because their hooves make a moon shaped mark Between the Caspia Sea / Kazakhastan the is the Stone Belt Mountain Gate of Peoples …. The would travel back and forth between it all for unknown reasons Artemis Esphesia – Kucuck Mendores Rivers Around the turkey Russian boarder but they could have been from all over Moon Warriors The nuns would often sit outside on their patio and look at the moon as Contesta would tell stories in their native tongue All life is sacred Black and Red Walls Homer wrote of them Cataloyuk The execution and persecution of amazons began when the protectors of the fire left. They became the only survivers there after They hired men to stop production of the maps (As did gypos and thieves) Nun’s say they are afraid of witchcraft Elizabeth never understood the sister’s of the sea. What little money they made was spent on the sailor’s Christmas gifts In the beginning they were very free with their clothing then they wore half robes that landed at their ankles… mention this when talking of the nun’s robes Amazon’s origin began when all of the men in their tribe were originally killed, the only men whose pure spirit and joy that they brought to their culture they promised to love were killed by heathens, thus they vowed to never love any men again Something in history took them out – men who did not want women to realize their power or get credit (this mirrors Eli and Pifflin’s photography journey in the beginning) The men who killed the Amazon’s were the original 30 theives The Amazons would follow a cloud until they reached a full moon In the states, African American women became Amazons Their house is filled with miniature statues of animals and scary items “ It is a shrine to the saints” With aviation and trains growing even more it’d be harder to track down people There wasn’t a railroad in miles of the nun’s place. Their house used to be a Captain’s House dating back to the 1700s, thus it was very big (Comment on this)
12:02 am	Monkey man version 1 Monkey Man He carves pictures in the magazine out of single pieces of wood Much like the troll at the bridge fable Don’t believe in hell, but I believe I’ll see it someday Some people get lost and deserted on an island but few people ever desert themselves on a lost island Empty Bottles of coca cola This is where you can find the world’s smallest one man boat docking next to forestry on a warm day Even a Monday on an unexplored island was dull Gets shoes from Pifflin at the end He feels a bit spite ful (think Samuel L. Jackson angry face) when he is asked to tell the story of how he got onto the island. A darker side of him comes out The reader must believe that he killed the two bodies before the end comes The reader must also believe that Adel wishes to kill again - After Adel catches them and explains that the skeleton through the way he told it to Lustig, Palmer, and Segun. The island is in a crescent shape or it causes the moon to look like a crescent during its reflection into the water – except for a few times each year Monkey man urges Pifflin not to go to the northern part of the island He had left for a brief moment to fish (or something) – during his urges we might believe Eli is dead (there is blood on the tip of his spear) He is creepy when speaking of his company Hid the brief case under the bloom, but only as a memorial to McQuiellen adventure “The following is not a complaint to any specific article but a complaint of a lack of an article. For the last several years you have stated that you are out to show the world what they have not seen yet I have to say that there have been thousands of pictures of tigers and elephants zebras and it has come to a point that they are almost in each edition. I believe that before there is one more picture of that there should be a feature on me. Not because I deserve it more than anyone but due to the fact that I had been promised one almost twenty some years ago by a young writer by the name of Pifflin and his assistant. Since their visit there have been no follow ups although I do receive a copy of your latest issue in my mailbox each month. Perhaps you have disregarded the article. Perhaps you have disregarded my 183 letters that I have wrote since their visit. Perhaps my two visitors never made it back to you. Hopefully, I do not have to write letter 184 for my wrists and eyes are becoming very tiresome. Sincerely, The wonder some fan….. The two spent the morning scratching their bug bites as the Monkeyman laughed. “My blood is not as sweet as yours, I guess you could say. “You could call me Adel for all I care” he makes a joke that is a good clue Monkey man was separated from his mother thus he never knew his true name. The name he was sold for was long forgotten and never told to by McQuiellen – that name was raggy Some of Adel’s survival instincts, mentally, came from being a deprived slave (Comment on this)
