Catchers abound. I'm Stella Ferris, and you've
0:39
crash -landed on the Monster Catchers Journal
0:41
podcast. Today's episode is unlike any I've recorded
0:45
before. It's not about claws or teeth, wings
0:47
or venom, no. Today's glyph is made of something
0:50
much older, much deeper, music, but not the kind
0:55
that lifts your spirits, the one that sinks its
0:59
claws into your soul, one note at a time. So
1:05
it all started when I received a strange object
1:09
from Professor Orion, a broken shard of glass
1:13
that vibrated with sound even when silent. He
1:16
said it came from a collapsed amphitheater just
1:19
outside the Storm Scar Delta, a place long forgotten
1:24
by the locals and left to echo in ruin. Orion
1:27
believed it was a rhythm glyph fragment. He warned
1:31
me if the shard starts to hum run, Of course,
1:35
you know me, I didn't listen. I made my way to
1:43
the Opus Ruins, a sunken concert hall hidden
1:46
beneath a jungle overtaken by vines and silence.
1:50
My glyphid pulsed the moment I stepped inside,
1:54
as if trying to warn me. And then I heard it,
1:57
a melody, a faint melody at first, but getting
2:01
louder as it went on. It wasn't just in my ears.
2:08
I could feel it in my bones, in the air, in the
2:11
floorboards. It was playing me. That's when I
2:16
saw him. Floating above the center stage, cloaked
2:22
in tattered sheet music, surrounded by broken
2:25
flutes and violin strings that twisted through
2:28
the air like ribbons, his porcelain mask was
2:31
cracked. but somehow still elegant. This was
2:35
Tones. Professor Orian had told me stories of
2:42
the Musakith, early rhythm glyphs who were said
2:49
to conduct harmony across Nibiru's natural frequencies.
2:55
Tones was one of them, a conductor of the resonant
2:58
wells. Ancient sites where sound shaped the world.
3:06
But centuries ago during the First Vow Severance,
3:10
Tone's symphony was interrupted. Its final note
3:14
never played. The silence broke him. And in the
3:17
wake of that broken composition, his mind began
3:21
to fracture. Now he doesn't play music to heal,
3:25
he plays it to control. When I really raised
3:29
my glyphid tones responded with his first move
3:33
Ders pulse a haunting wave of sound that slowed
3:37
time and me Dragging my limbs like molasses.
3:42
I could hear every heartbeat echo I sent out
3:46
or a beak in ignis or a to help stabilize The
3:51
rhythm filled but he wasn't done He unleashed
3:55
crescendo chains, sharp harmonic bindings that
3:59
trapped Orabique in mid -flight, each chain tightening
4:03
with the beat. Every time the tempo rose, so
4:06
did the pain. When I centered with a reflective
4:12
glyph ability, tones used requiem of reversal,
4:17
twisting my move and reflecting it back in a
4:20
corrupted, dissonant form. He was writing his
4:25
own version of my fight, and then the final move,
4:28
Dissonant Rift, ripped across the stage, shattering
4:31
my equilibrium and scrambling our glyphs' abilities.
4:37
For three turns straight, it was chaos, but then
4:40
I remembered something. That shard from Orion,
4:47
the one humming, it matched the song I'd heard
4:49
in the dreams days earlier. I sing. Just three
4:53
notes. The ending of the symphony tones had never
4:56
finished. I don't know how I knew them. Maybe
5:00
the shard taught me. Maybe the music was waiting
5:04
for someone who could fill it. Tones froze. The
5:10
broken instruments fell from the air. He looked
5:14
at me with not anger, but relief. He didn't vanish.
5:17
He didn't attack again. He simply lowered to
5:20
the stage and dissolved into a single floating
5:22
note, etched into my glyphid with a golden shimmer.
5:27
I didn't catch tones, I completed him. Back at
5:35
my pyramid house, Senna asked me what happened.
5:38
I told her not all glyphs need to be fought.
5:41
Some just need to be heard. Tones may have been
5:43
a villain to some, but he was never evil, just
5:47
unfinished. and now his melody plays in harmony
5:50
and so yeah i should say that zena did let me
5:56
take ignisura for this fight because her and
6:01
luna could not be there for this fight so they
6:04
let me borrow their glyphs i had caught the music
6:13
glyph tones was mine Thanks to my two best friends
6:16
Zena and Luna for lending me their glyphs because
6:19
they couldn't make it. Now the hard part was
6:22
next, and that's telling Professor Orion the
6:25
news. He'd been saying for weeks that there was
6:28
more to studying at Luan Academy than catching
6:32
glyphs. I really don't believe it, but you know.
6:36
I walked up the long brick path that led to the
6:39
Academy and went inside. I moved down the core
6:42
door that always led me to Or - Professor Orion's
6:45
class. And there he was, poured over some old
6:48
dusty star charts, as always. I caught him, I
6:52
said. It took a second for Professor Orion to
6:56
look up, but when he did, his face had a stern
6:59
look on it. You know, Quasar, there is more to
7:03
learning than catching the glyphs. There's other
7:06
classes as well, like history, science, and a
7:08
couple others, like potions and broom writing,
7:11
and magic, for those who have... found themselves
7:14
with their own magic powers, Orion said. Was
7:18
I one of them, I wondered? Was Orion a wizard?
7:23
I stood there feeling the weight of his words
7:25
settle in the air around me. Professor Orion
7:27
was still staring at me, his intense gaze unwavering,
7:31
though his expression had softened slightly as
7:34
if giving me space to process what he'd just
7:36
said. I shifted on my feet, unsure whether I
7:39
should explain myself or ask the question that
7:41
had been burning at the back of my mind. Professor,
7:45
I began, my voice quieter now than before. Do
7:53
you have magic powers? The question hung in the
7:57
air and for a moment I thought I might have crossed
7:59
a line. Oran set his star charts aside, folding
8:03
his hands at his desk with a calm but calculated
8:07
motion. That's a rather personal question, Quasar,"
8:10
he said, his voice steady, but carrying an edge
8:13
of curiosity. But it's not the first time you've
8:16
asked something like that. You want to know about
8:19
magic, don't you? I nodded, yes. I feel like
8:23
there's so much more to learn beyond just capturing
8:25
glyphs now. Maybe I could. Orion held up a hand,
8:29
stopping me mid -sentence. That's exactly what
8:32
I mean. There are many paths to follow at Luan,
8:35
Quasar. Your talent may be with glyphs, but that
8:38
doesn't mean they'll always be the only thing
8:41
you'll excel at. I couldn't help but feel the
8:46
sting of disappointment, but you said... Yes,
8:51
I've said catching glyphs is only part of the
8:53
journey, Orion interrupted, but it's not about
8:55
putting all your focus on one thing, magic, history,
8:59
even sciences. These things shape the world around
9:02
us, and you need to understand them. Understanding
9:05
your glyphs, how they fit into the greater world,
9:09
will help you more than just knowing how to catch
9:11
them. A sense of unease twisted in my stomach.
9:15
Was I not allowed to focus on glyphs anymore?
9:18
Was there something wrong with being determined
9:20
to learn about them? Orion must have sensed my
9:25
confusion because he continued his tone now softer.
9:28
Your connection to tones, he said thoughtfully,
9:31
shows that you have more potential than you may
9:33
realize. But Tones is not just any glyph. He
9:37
represents sound, harmony, and balance. You might
9:40
be feeling that pull to understand music and
9:43
magic because they are tied together in ways
9:46
that even I can't fully understand or explain.
9:51
I paused, harmony, balance, those words, they
9:54
resonated with me, but I still couldn't fully
9:57
grasp what he meant. I had caught Tones, yes,
10:00
but... Was I meant to control him or was there
10:03
something deeper to our bond? Professor, I ask,
10:09
my curiosity taking over again. What do you mean
10:12
by balance? Is that something I need to focus
10:14
on too? Orion stood up walking slowly towards
10:17
the far side of the room where a large wooden
10:19
bookshelf full of ancient tomes lined the wall.
10:23
He glanced over his shoulder as he pulled a dusty
10:25
book from the shelf and brought it to me. Balance
10:28
is what makes everything work together, he said,
10:32
flipping it open to a page filled with faded
10:34
illustrations of different elemental glyphs and
10:37
harmonious formations. It's what keeps chaos
10:41
from swallowing everything around us. You have
10:44
a unique gift, Quasar, and tones isn't just a
10:47
lesson in capturing glyphs. It's a lesson in
10:50
understanding them and yourself. The two words
10:57
settled into me, the weight of them only just
11:00
starting to sink in. Could it be that my path
11:03
here wasn't about becoming the best capturing
11:06
glyph? Was there something else waiting for me,
11:09
something I hadn't yet discovered? Was it time
11:11
to take my studies in a completely different
11:13
direction? Oyen's voice brought me back to the
11:16
present. I'll allow you to continue your focus
11:18
on tones, Quasar, but I want you to start considering
11:21
the bigger picture. I'll enroll you in a few
11:24
new classes next week, and I want you to pay
11:26
attention, not just to the practical side of
11:28
things, but to how everything connects." I nodded,
11:32
a new sense of determination filling me. It wasn't
11:35
just about glyphs, it was about understanding
11:37
the world they came from. The rhythm of life,
11:40
the harmony between the elements, and maybe,
11:42
just maybe, I would learn something even more
11:45
important along the way. All right, Professor
11:47
Oren, I'll try to keep an open mind, I said.
11:52
A new sense of resolve settling in me. Good,
11:56
Orion replied with a small smile. Now tell me
11:59
more about tones. What have you learned so far?
12:03
And as I began to explain, I realized this journey
12:05
was only just beginning. And the more I understood,
12:08
the more I would uncover. And as I explained
12:15
what I had experienced with tones, I felt the
12:22
weight of his words as I spoke. Tones at a unique
12:26
rhythm, something I'd never felt before in any
12:29
other glyph. It was just the notes. It wasn't
12:34
just the notes, it was how they connected with
12:37
my very soul pulling at the deepest parts of
12:39
me. I felt like we were bound by something far
12:43
greater than I had imagined. As I was deep in
12:46
my explanation, the door to the classroom creaked
12:49
open. and Professor Higete, the academy's assistant,
12:54
stepped inside with the stack of papers in hand.
12:57
Ah, good, I see you're both still here, Higete
13:00
said with a brief smile, walking toward us. She
13:03
glanced at me, then at Orion before setting the
13:06
stack of papers down on the desk. Orion raised
13:08
an eyebrow, what's this? Higete flickered her
13:12
dark hair over her shoulder. Clearly unfazed,
13:17
you're not going to like this professor, but
13:19
it's time to drop the bomb. Quasar has been officially
13:22
enrolled into the three magic classes, potions,
13:24
broom writing, and the new magic curriculum for
13:27
students discovering their own powers. She glanced
13:30
at me at mischievous smile, crossed her face,
13:34
congratulations. I blinked, wait, what? Magic
13:36
classes? The words felt foreign, almost out of
13:40
place. I wasn't sure I was ready for that. Orion
13:45
sighed, shaking his head. You don't think I would
13:47
let you get by with just catching glyphs, do
13:50
you? I felt a wave of unease settle over me,
13:53
but I don't even know if I have magic powers.
13:56
That's for you to discover, Orion replied. You
13:59
won't get far if you don't open your mind to
14:02
all that Luan Academy has to offer. Magic doesn't
14:05
just find you when you ignore it. You have to
14:08
open it. And besides, it will give you a well
14:12
-rounded understanding of the world you're diving
14:14
into. But, you get to cut me off. Don't worry,
14:19
Quasar. You're not the only one enrolling. Nova's
14:21
in all three of the classes, too. I froze. Nova,
14:27
my rival, the one who always seemed to outshine
14:30
me, the one who constantly made me feel like
14:33
I was a step behind. She's always been there.
14:36
Hovering just out of reach, waiting for the moment
14:39
when she could prove herself better than me.
14:42
Nova, I ask, unable to hide the disbelief in
14:45
my voice. She's in the same classes. Yes, of
14:49
course, Higate said with a shrug. She's been
14:51
a prodigy in magic for a while now. I imagine
14:55
she'll breeze through the classes, but don't
14:57
let that discourage you. Magic is about understanding,
15:00
not just power. And it's about time we have a
15:04
good rivalry. Don't you think? I could feel my
15:07
heart beat quicken, the thought of facing Nova
15:09
again. This time in classes where magic itself
15:14
would be the challenge didn't seem like an opportunity.
15:16
I felt like I was being thrown into a game where
15:20
the rules weren't in my favor, but Orion's words
15:23
echoed in my mind. You won't get far if you don't
15:25
open your mind to all that Luan has to offer.
15:29
I swallowed hard, so when do these classes start?
15:32
He could take Lance at Orion. Starting tomorrow,
15:35
you'll find your schedule posted on the bulletin
15:38
board. I suggest you get there early. Nova's
15:40
always the first to show up. The next day I came
15:45
faster than I expected. I stood in front of the
15:48
large bulletin board, my heart pounding with
15:51
uncertainty. The list of names were pinned up,
15:54
each class filled with students. I searched for
15:57
my name, a quick line of text beneath the headlines,
16:01
potions, broom writing, and magic. There it was,
16:04
right next to Nova's name. I couldn't help the
16:08
small knot that twisted in my stomach. Nova.
16:12
And sure enough, there she was, standing nearby,
16:15
her gaze flickering over the board. Eyes narrowing
16:18
when she saw my name, I felt her stare before
16:22
she even spoke. So, Quasar, Nova said coolly,
16:28
stepping forward. I see, we're in the same classes.
16:31
How lucky for you, looks like it'll be even more
16:34
fun having you around to see me excel. I grit
16:37
at my teeth, not sure if I should respond with
16:40
a quick retort or just ignore her, but before
16:44
I could decide, a voice came from behind me.
16:46
Don't let her get to you, Quasar. A familiar
16:49
voice said, soft but reassuring, it was Luna
16:53
and Xena, standing just a few feet away. Offering
16:58
me encouraging smiles, Xena nudged me with her
17:01
elbow. You've got this. Just remember, rivalry
17:04
is not a rivalry or not. We're all here to learn,
17:09
so don't let Nova or anyone else distract you
17:11
from that. I nod at trying to push aside the
17:14
doubt creeping in. This wasn't just about competing
17:17
with Nova. It was about understanding magic,
17:19
about figuring out who I truly was in this world
17:22
beyond the glyphs. Except that, well, we had
17:25
to use the glyphs in our learning with magic
17:30
as well. You're right, I said, turning to face
17:34
the bulletin board again. This is my chance to
17:36
learn everything. So, now that it was the day
17:43
of our first class and it had arrived faster
17:45
than I expected it to, the long corridors of
17:48
Luon Academy seemed even more daunting now with
17:52
me standing in front of the bulletin board still.
17:55
my mind swirling with uncertainty about what
17:58
lay ahead. Nova's presence in the same class
18:01
is still lingered in the back of my thoughts,
18:03
but I tried to push it aside. This wasn't about
18:05
her. It was about me, about discovering what
18:08
I could really do. As I made my way to the magic
18:12
classroom, I found the door wide open. The classroom
18:15
was a large, airy space with sunlight pouring
18:18
in through the tall windows, illuminating the
18:21
wooden floor with that stretched out in every
18:24
direction. The walls were lined with bookshelves
18:27
filled with ancient tomes and scrolls, many of
18:32
which looked far too delicate to even touch.
18:35
At the front of the room stood a long wooden
18:38
table piled with various magic implements, wands,
18:41
crystals, vials of swirling liquids, and at the
18:44
very back a large chalkboard covered in strange
18:48
glyphs and symbols. I wasn't alone for long.
18:53
One by one, students filtered into the classroom,
18:56
including Nova, who looked as composed as always,
18:59
her dark eyes scanning the room as if she was
19:01
analyzing every inch. She barely spared a glance
19:04
at me. The other students took their seats quietly,
19:07
and I followed suit, sitting towards the back,
19:10
hoping to blend in. The door to the classroom
19:14
creaked as it opened. And in walked Professor
19:19
Talia, a tall woman with sharp features and a
19:23
commanding presence. She wore a long robe of
19:26
deep indigo and her hair was tied back into a
19:28
tight knot. A subtle shimmering aura surrounded
19:32
her and the air seemed to hum with energy as
19:34
she stepped forward. Welcome to advanced magic
19:39
studies, she said, her voice clear and calm,
19:42
yet somehow resonant with authority. This class
19:46
will teach you how to work with magic and your
19:49
glyphs in harmony. You are not simply learning
19:52
to wield spells or cast glyphs, or catch glyphs,
19:56
sorry. You are learning to become one of them,
20:00
to synchronize your powers and become a living
20:02
symphony. There was a pause as everyone observed
20:06
her words. Some students looking uncertain, others
20:09
intrigued. I felt the weight of what she was
20:13
saying sink in. This wasn't just about me and
20:16
my glyphs. This was about working in sync with
20:18
them. A thought I hadn't fully considered. Professor
20:23
Talia's eyes swept the room, landing on Nova.
20:26
For those who have already discovered their magic,
20:29
she continued, you will begin the process of
20:33
uniting your personal magic with your glyph energy.
20:37
Nova, for instance, has an affinity with elemental
20:42
magic and can use her glyphs to amplify her powers.
20:46
But we will go beyond that, learning how to draw
20:50
out the full potential when they work together.
20:54
I glanced over at Nova, who gave a brief, confident
20:59
nod. Of course, she had already mastered the
21:01
art of amplifying her glyphs power. I couldn't
21:04
help but feel a twinge of envy, but I quickly
21:07
pushed it aside. This was about my own journey.
21:10
and I was here to learn. Professor Talia's gaze
21:13
shifted to me next, and you, Quasar, will learn
21:15
to work with your rhythm glyph, tones. Your task
21:19
is not just to catch him, but to synchronize
21:22
with his energy, allowing his music to flow within
21:25
you as you flow within him. My heart skipped
21:29
a beat, synchronized with tones. What? That's
21:35
a sobering thought. Talia continued, as if reading
21:40
my mind, the magic here isn't about control,
21:43
it's about balance. You must learn how to allow
21:45
the music to flow, to become part of the harmony
21:49
between your powers and those of your glyphs.
21:53
No more force, no more dominance. As Professor
21:57
Talia's words echoed in my head, I felt a strange
22:01
mixture of nerves, excitement, and anticipation.
22:04
The idea of syncing with tones of becoming part
22:07
of the music was something I hadn't considered
22:09
before, but now that I had the opportunity, I
22:12
was determined to do my best. After all, the
22:15
magic here wasn't just about the glyphs, it was
22:18
about finding harmony, about how hard it is and
22:24
how hard could it be. I had to admit, I was feeling
22:28
a little cocky. Nova had always seemed to step
22:31
ahead. Her magic sharpened and controlled, but
22:33
maybe, just maybe, this class would be my chance
22:37
to prove I could hold my own. Professor Talia
22:40
clapped her hands, drawing our attention. Alright,
22:43
let's begin the exercise, everyone. Take out
22:46
your glyphs. We'll start with a simple synchronization
22:49
practice. You'll each pair with another student
22:52
and try to draw out the first note of harmony.
22:55
This is the foundation for all that follows.
22:59
The bond must be formed first before we can take
23:02
the next step. I glanced at Nova who had already
23:05
prepared her glyphid, resting beside her, glowing
23:10
faintly with anticipation. I could see her setting
23:13
her posture as though preparing for a challenge.
23:17
A small smirk played on the corners of her lips.
23:20
She was always ready for something like this,
23:23
wasn't she? Feeling a spark of confidence, I
23:26
reached for Chone's glyphid. I began to hum a
23:29
soft steady tone in my mind, trying to get the
23:32
rhythm just right. I had practiced with him enough
23:35
by now, I could feel the connection. His melody
23:39
was woven into my very thoughts. But as I tried
23:42
to sink our energy, something went horribly wrong.
23:45
I felt the magic swell, but instead of the usual
23:48
smooth connection, a wild burst of discordant
23:52
sound shot out of me. It was like cacophony.
23:57
of screeching violins, squawking horns, and banging
24:01
drums all rolled into one. The sound lashed out
24:07
uncontrollably, causing a strange flicker of
24:09
light to dance in the air. Tone's energy flared
24:12
up wildly, and for a moment I couldn't hear my
24:15
own thoughts. Then everything snapped into place,
24:17
but something was very wrong. I blinked. Standing
24:20
before me in the spot where Nova had been moments
24:23
ago was a giant star. but not just any star,
24:27
a star with a pig's nose. The bright glowing
24:30
star had a round plump snout in the center of
24:34
its form, complete with two tiny nostrils, and
24:39
the cosmic energy around it seemed to shimmer
24:42
and wobble like it wasn't quite stable. There
24:44
was a dead silence in the room. The entire class
24:47
froze. I could feel their eyes on me, but I couldn't
24:50
bring myself to look at Nova. Or, well, the star
24:54
that had replaced her. I felt my cheeks burning
24:56
as I took in what I had just done. I had turned
25:00
Nova into a cosmic star with a pig nose. Nova,
25:03
however, was not amused. The star glowed angrily,
25:08
the light intensifying around the pig nose before
25:11
it began to speak in a distorted, aggravated
25:14
tone. What did you do? The voice was unmistakably
25:18
Nova's. The star pulsated angrily. The pig nose
25:22
wrinkling as though she was trying to frown.
25:25
This is not what I had in mind for our first
25:27
day of magic class. Nova said. I winced, mortified,
25:33
and tried to step forward. Nova, I'm sorry. I
25:36
don't know what happened. I just... Clearly,
25:40
you don't know what happened. Nova's voice rang
25:41
out, sounding even more irritated. She flickered
25:45
and twirled in the air as if trying to control
25:48
the chaos of her current form. This is absolutely
25:51
ridiculous. A pig nose? Are you serious? Professor
25:56
Talia's calm yet concerned voice broke through
26:00
the chaos. Quasar, did you try to synchronize
26:03
your powers with Nova without considering the
26:05
consequences of magic that isn't properly aligned?
26:08
I nodded sheepishly. I thought it would be easy,
26:12
but I just wanted to get in sync with tones.
26:16
Talia sighed. Deeply, but I could tell there
26:19
was no anger in her voice, just disappointment.
26:23
Magic is not a game, Quasar. It's a powerful
26:25
and unpredictable thing, especially when you
26:28
haven't mastered or controlled it. You were too
26:33
eager to force a bond without understanding the
26:36
intricacies of the rhythm and the energy behind
26:39
it. I could feel Nova's fairy radiating through
26:43
the air. Great! Now I have to deal with this!
26:46
This pig -no -star situation, she snapped, her
26:49
cosmic form pulsing angrily. Do you have any
26:52
idea how much I hate pigs, she added, as though
26:56
that was the greatest injustice of all. I swallowed
27:00
hard, desperate to fix my mistake. Nova, I swear
27:02
I'll fix this. Just give me a second. Fix it?
27:06
You think you can fix it? She retorted, her voice
27:10
high -pitched and sharp. the cosmic glow around
27:12
her, intensifying with her frustration. Do you
27:15
even know how to undo this? Do you think it feels,
27:20
or how do you think it feels to be stuck as this?
27:22
A star pig! I could hear the strain in her voice.
27:26
She wasn't just angry, she was embarrassed. I
27:28
didn't blame her. This was a humiliating experience
27:32
for both of us. Nova, I said, slowly backing
27:35
away from her, trying to think clearly. I swear
27:38
I'll fix it. I just need to fix it later, Nova
27:41
snapped, her voice echoing through the room.
27:43
Just don't touch anything else unless you know
27:45
what you're doing. Professor Talia cleared her
27:51
throat and the tension in the room seemed to
27:53
settle for a brief moment. You made a mistake,
27:55
Quasar, and Nova is understandably upset, but
27:59
this is a learning moment. We will help you to
28:01
correct this error. Nova will return to her original
28:05
form, but you will need to focus in recalibrate
28:08
your understanding of synchronization. You've
28:11
clearly disrupted something deeply embedded within
28:15
Nova's magic. Nova flickered again, and I could
28:18
sense the anger in her aura, shimmering down
28:22
through, or though I could still hear the faint
28:25
grumble of irritation. Fine, she muttered, her
28:29
star form shifting uneasily. But you better figure
28:32
this out quickly. And if you ever give me a pig
28:36
nose again, We're gonna have problems. I nodded
28:39
quickly, my heart still racing, but more focused
28:42
now on fixing the mistake I had made. I had to
28:50
fix it. But as I began to focus on correcting
28:54
the magic, I realized something. This wasn't
28:57
just about controlling my glyph or Nova's magic,
29:00
it was about understanding the rhythm of everything.
29:03
How even a simple mistake could cause a ripple.
29:06
a wave that affected others in ways I hadn't
29:10
expected. And it was then that I realized that
29:14
made me more determined than ever to master the
29:17
harmony between my magic tones and the unpredictable
29:21
forces around me. And as I focused, Nova started
29:30
to gain her form back. Although she wasn't very
29:34
happy when she did gain her form back, she looked
29:38
over at me and said, Quasar, I will get you for
29:42
this. And that's pretty much how it ended. It
29:46
ended right there because the bell rang and we
29:50
left school, so went back home and we sat on
29:53
our porch, me, Xena, and Luna, and we talked
29:57
about my day and what happened. my friends, fellow
30:04
travelers, and Monster Catchers abound. This
30:08
has been the Monster Catchers Journal. May the
30:11
light of Nibiru shine down on you. Bye now. See
30:15
you next week.
