“Having fun, and doing work, if you can do both, you can have a happy life”

Having arrived at the ruble of what used to be Green Triangle’s home; our hero fell on both knees, shaking, and wept. Everything was lost, the couch, the television, the roast, everything. The only thing that survived the fire was Blue Circle. She had grabbed everything she could, but unfortunately for her tiny arms, she couldn’t carry much.

Blue Circle had managed to grab a Generic Candy Bar, fruits, vegetables, and six gallons of milk.

“Blue Circle! Why? Why didn’t you turn off the oven!?”  Red Cube cried out angrily.

“Well, I was going to, but the television screen came on, and there was this show, and like, there were these cute kittens, and I like, needed to know more about them, so I sat on the couch, and like, watched it.”

Ignoring the argument between the two room mates, Green Triangle pulled out the pouch containing the beans, and began to dig three separate holes. After planting each bean, Green triangle began to trek down to the well in the backyard.

After filling a bucket with water, Green triangle walked back calmly and watered the spot in which he had planted the beans. As soon as he did so, the earth begun to shake, quickly ending the argument between Red Cube and Blue Circle. Three pillars of: orange, green, and purple light, sprouted from the earth. Everything went bright, then dark. After the darkness had passed, three creatures hovered before the group. They spoke simultaneously “We are the Oracle Guardians of this world.” They broke unison.

“I am the Orange Oracle, I foretell all maters of the past, the present, and the future.”

“I am the Purple Oracle, I foretell all matters of knowledge.”

“I am the Green Oracle, I foretell all matters of creation and destruction.” The three oracles began to look around realizing their surroundings. “Tell me green one, what has happened here?”

“Well, I made a trip to our local market for some common groceries, and when I got back; my house was reduced to ash.”

“I see, give me your most sentimental object, and I shall create for you your home once more. You must give what you love the most, in order to have what you want the most. And that is my rule, child of this world.”

Orange then spoke, “You give me your memories, and I shall reveal truth, for this is my rule.”

Then Purple, “You give me your knowledge, and I shall exchange it, for this is my rule.”

Unsure of how to respond, Green Triangle turned to look at his friends. But they were gone.

 Green Triangle cried out “where are my friends?”

As soon as he uttered the question, a mysterious mist surrounded him revealing the location of two people. One who appeared to be the shape Cube. Possibly red. And one who appeared to be the shape of a circle. Possibly blue……..
