Nova Wind, Part II

I started writing this post several months ago. I wanted I update you on the magical and wonderful world in Silas's mind. A lot has happened in our "real" lives since I began this post, and this translates into a lot happening in Nova Wind. We have realized that Silas uses Nova Wind to try and figure out how to communicate some of his emotions with us. 

The King of Nova Wind has died. He was a very old man, but he died because he ate an electric whip. He thought it was a snake and liked eating snakes so he ate it by mistake and died.  The Smurfs have invaded and they are the new leaders. The Smurf King used to be married but he decided he didn't like his wife so he got a divorce. Soon there will be another King because the Smurf King isn't very nice and the Nova Windians want to get a different guy. Maybe the princess will be the Queen and they won't have any King at all.

All the people in Nova Wind are babies on some days. They are very silly and can't do anything all by thereselves. The princess is never a baby, because she has a baby in her tummy and babies can't have a baby in their tummy. Actually, she has two babies. Twins. One is a boy and one is a girl. The girls name is going to be Karen but she hasn't picked a name for her boy baby yet. 

Do you know how there can be magic in Nova Wind? Under the ground beside the castle, if you dig down deep, there is a blue star. If you dig down and reach the star, all you have to do is touch some of the blueness and then you have magic. The star is giant so there is a lot of magic. Enough magic for the whole world, but first, you have to find the blue star. 

The castle in Nova Wind has solar panels, to save energy. You'd think that would be a complicated retrofit but the Castle was only built three years ago, so they were installed new. They also recycle and compost in Nova Wind. They have so much compost you can't even believe it, but it's not even smelly. (Told you there was magic.)

One favourite pastime for many Nova Windians is fishing. They do not fish in the mote that surrounds the castle (because it is full of alligators) but they do fish in the nearby ocean. There is also a lake, but there isn't any good fish in the lake. Another good thing to do here is go SCUBA diving. They have a lot of water and sand and it is never winter so it's a good place to learn how. But you have to be 16 and have a special license, and if you are not 16 or don't have a special license, I guess you can just go snorkling. It's almost as good. 

With there being no rules in Nova Wind, you can imagine it gets crazy sometimes. Good thing all the Nova Windians are well behaved (most of the time) or else they would need police. But they don't. Nope, no police. 

Nova Wind is an island. In Britain. It is a circle. There is a nearby island that is a sqare and it is called Jamma Lamma Land. Pin Land is also nearby- it is in the shape of a triangle. They have volcanoes and lots and lots of sand. 

In June, there was a volcano that killed everyone in Nova Wind. It was a very sad and dark day in this land and nothing was going to be okay, ever again. 

Then, the next day we learned that the King survived. He swam to Jamma Lamma Land and he is the only survivor. Oh actually, he is from Jamma Lamma Land but he will be a good new King for Nova Wind. 

The King has rebuilt his kingdom. There are many new things in Nova Wind but mostly it is the same. The King from Jamma Lamma Land speaks Spanish and eats only rum and nachos. 

The new and improved Nova Wind is made entirely of jello. No wait! Jello and bouncy castles. So you can bounce everywhere and eat to get through the walls. 

Stay tuned for more tales from afar.
