By Beau Lambeth Raavans Cave A long time ago in a distant land, lived a deadly and fearsome demon who was known as Raavan. He lived in an unearthly cave filled with horrors in the middle of a humid and dense jungle full to the brim with crawling creepers and exotic flowers whose pollen tasted as sweet as honey. The crumbling walls were dripping with gooey slime as bats flapped their wings, their music bouncing off the eerie walls. You could hear the sound of a slave band playing their spooky songs and moaning ghosts looking for their souls, floating around in the pitch black darkness. You could see fine weaponry and jangling bangles encrusted with glittering jewels and dotted with dazzling diamonds and beautiful tiaras. But there was also a rushing river of crimson blood. By Sophia Yang Many moons ago in a far distant jungle- forest landscape was a fearsomely terrifying, feared by all demon known as RAAVAN!!! He was a ten headed mournful demon. Fire streamed (shhhhhhhh) from ghostly torches, every now and then you could hear the half distant rumble of Raavan’s snores, in his luxurious and stolen throne. Bats swooped and swerved around the cave, missing you by inches . Beyond the torches, the darkness was as mysterious as night. In the corner of this inhabited cave was a waterfall of cascading water. And sitting on his throne was the terrifying Raavan. by Chloe Dewar
