The Golden Ring


 As many of you may know, this ring surrounds the busts of the alphas and a few other artifacts. Why is it there? Who created it? And who protected this land from Twolegs? You are about to find out...

The Golden Ring

by Amy Jiao

 Chapter One

 Peck painted the floor golden, and carved small pictures of phantoms and various spells on the ring.She labeled it with incantations to keep phantoms away from the artifacts, and even a few reenforcements. If they would survive the Twoleg invasion, they would have to hide their artifacts and their people in there. She quickly scribbled some Twoleg protection spells on the ring, but that would  mean monkeys would need magical permisson to enter, as their DNA structure was similar to a Twoleg's.Peck started the busts of all the alphas.

 Chapter Two

 They gathered all the animals and put them in groups with their alphas within the ring, although the monkeys needed permission to enter. The lions and leopards were grouped with Sir Gilbert, for they had no alpha, and the Arctic wolves stayed with Greely, making his group have to squish the others. Fortunatley, Jamaa was small at that time, so everyone fit in. Then the Twolegs came."This is a very good land to plunder, Chuck."one growled. The bunnies whimpered. The twoleg that should be Chuck growled back."Yes, millions of jewels have been stashed in the temple! We'll be RICH!" Even the lions were whimpering now, but the alphas shushed them. Then the twolegs noticed them. "Hey, we have some wild guests here!" the first twoleg chuckled."Yes, Bart, we'll get another load of money just to skin the lions!""Hee, hee."Peck giggled. " A twoleg named Fart. Hee ha hee ha."Lisa tried to shush her, but it was too late. Bart's face turned beet red. "A talking bunny insults me, even when she's wearing ear socks and I have a gun?!?"he cried. "I'll kill you!" He took out the black stick he called a "gun", and fired a small seed from it. But the alphas knew what seed it was. It was a bullet seed, one non native to Jamaa, and it hurt, as Lisa had found out before. Ouch.

 Chapter Three

 The bullet bounced off the barrier harmlessly, and Bart looked shocked. "These animals know magic!I must kill them by hand!"he snapped. Chuck was smarter, and ran. He slowly approached the ring, then ran. The barrier appeared right before he could snatch a koala, and he flew through a nearby window, falling into the stream below. Everyone cheered, but they were quickly shushed. The phantoms were invading. Luckily, none could lift the door and enter, but a few wafted in through the broken window. They disentigrated against the barrier, and Cosmo gathered the dust for potions before returning to his post. But now, they had established a new rule. No animal could leave their group and go to another, because all the alphas except for Lisa would yell. That way, it was easier to escort them outside.But as the invasion ended, Mira flew in right from the ceiling, giving a few wolves a scare.After all, she could manipulate any boundary to let her through. Mira perched on a tree the alphas had superglued to the wall so that she could admire the artifacts."Alphas, you know better than this."she said."Seperating the animals isn't a good idea, and this could've led to another feud. Lisa, my darling, why didn't you speak up?"Lisa looked ashamed. " Mother Sky, we needed to escort them out safely, or someone could enter Cosmo's lab or Brady Barr's house by accident. We also needed to keep them away from the phantom zoo next to the river."she sighed. Mira waved her wings, and everyone was where they should be now. "I'll extend the ring's power to keep the phantoms and Twolegs away."her voice whispered into everyone's ear.

Epilouge

 And so, the ring's power was extended, and Peck was given a merit award for her work. However, in the process the words were smeared into squiggles, and the phantoms could still enter in October, but they were controlled by it's magic, as the original incantation had been altered by age. Mira knew that Twolegs would never enter again, but eventually the phantoms would invade.She created all those weapons in stores for Jammers to get ready for that day, and placed fences to keep phantoms out. However, rumors say that the invasion will begin next year, in 2013...

The Spears of Jamaa


The spears have been found in various places in Jamaa, but only mystery surrounds them.I have peeked in Lisa's log, and I adapted this copied manuscript from her log, as it was in diary entries and phantom runes.

The Claws of Mira

by Amy Jiao

 Chapter One

 The claws of Mira had fallen to the ground when she had died for Amelia, and some brave Jammers collected them. However, some became traitors and betrayed Mira, simply turning the claws over to the phantoms.The alphas were angry, and the third phantom war sparked.(I assure you, the gore in this post hasn't happened yet, it is a simple prediction a phantom oracle made.The spears, however, were transffered back in time so that the Jamaasians had a chance to win, as Jamaa was destroyed.Who knows? Maybe the war will happen, and we Jamaasians will be online to witness it...)
The following gore may be too intense, so look away before you throw up your snack...

Chapter Two

 The sun had been gone for days, and everyone was worried.Mira had recently been revived from a deep sleep, but was now old and frail. The Jamaasians kept their claws of Mira and other weapons issued to them, but not all of them got proper training from the alphas.Since they were minor gods, their influence could be everywhere, but dark days had come too soon.The phantom virus had spread, and now they had only ten million fighters, unlike their ususal number of a billion.Even the robots were nervous, barely drinking any oil anymore, and they seriously were drunk on oil. The phantoms were arriving, and all the newfound death, scamming, hacking, blocking and bullying had given the phantoms new warriors. The end was near,and neither of the recently revived deities, Mira and Zios, could do much about it.

 Chapter Three

 Finally, after three weeks of anxiousness, the sun came back, but now it was black.Crops couldn't grow, the rivers dried up, and anyone without Greely's SPF 300,000,000 applied would die in seconds outside.The alphas went on quests frequently now to stop the phantoms from invading, but they were weakening, especially Cosmo.He had worked for years now, trying to strengthen Mira and Zios, but now they were not any help."Haaa-lllo!"Mira would shout to Zios sleepily, and Zios would reply,"The sun is quite nice today, isn't it?"and Mira would shout back"We have cookies at the Twoleg store,for only $99.99!"Cosmo had no idea where she got the last one, but the price was correct.All supplies costed a lot now,and the fact that phantoms stole away worker robots and androids every day wasn't helping.He cried out, sent out a healing wave, and faded into the spirit world.

 Chapter Four

 However, the wave of healing wasn't enough. Now, three days after Cosmo's death, the alphas were splattered in blood, and riding half-dead pegasi to the sun. As crazy as it seems, the sun was made of hardened phantom corspes, so it spread an ominous feeling over the land. The phantom rulers lived in there, growing stronger everytime something bad happened, or at least was thought of.There were signs everywhere about being optismistic, not pessimistic, but the sight of Mira on the billboards wasn't enough.The rulers were growing stronger.They arrived, and went through a hatch in the black sun.The pegasi dropped,dead, to the groundNo escape, no chance of winning, no chance of protecting Jamaa.The alphas trudged up the ramp to the throne room in despair.The phantom king saw them, and laughed."Your end is near, alphas. Any last words?"the queen added to his laughter."I like painting in Jamaa! We'll haunt you even in death!"Peck shouted, and Lisa glared at her.I mean, what sort of last words are those?That, only made the king laugh more, and they summoned the claws of Mira. They elongated into magical spears that always reaped the soul of the victim. Greely had made the spears long ago, but broke them for protection. Then, he had bonded the spears(now fixed)to the claws, and now they made a last stand for Jamaa with them.

 Chapter Five

 Blood and ichor was spilled on the ground as the two forces fought.Lisa stabbed with kung-fu accuracy, and Graham spun the spears around in wonder as he held off the goons.Amelia roared the roar of fear itself, and destroyed every phantom in the world except for the rulers.However, the effort took her spirit.She collasped, and Greely sobbed over her body.Peck doodled with the spear in midair, and her pictures came to life. A roaring lion fought the queen, killing her, but the king just rose from his throne. "Your land shall be burned to pieces!"Sir Gilbert clawed the king to pieces, but not before an arm of flame touched Jamaa, setting everything aflame. Tears welled up in the alpha's eyes as they saw the lush land of Jamaa die right before their eyes. They had failed, and they were to retreat to their native lands.

 Chapter Six=Epilouge

 The alphas had failed in their service, and the gods awakened to find that their land was burned to ashes, and everyone dead. Even the bots were helpless as they burned to ashes. However, with the last piece of their strength, they had released all the spirits in the spirit stones and teleported the spears back in time. Now, when the phantoms come, we fend for ourselves with the spears, and learn how to harness the claws with all the might of the alphas. Who knows? Maybe we can prevent the future end of the world...

   

Peck's Mural


 Peck's Mural

 The outrageous rabbit alpha makes many  long and odd projects, like donating old ear socks to hobos (weird, but generous), and making pinatas the size of mountains(Peck used that for Mira's seven thousanth birthday), and painting Jamaa orange (now, what was that for? Making a message to aliens that our planet is shaped like an orange?).Here is a story about her most odd project yet, painting a mural of the alphas in the Coral Canyons...

 By Amy Jiao

 Chapter One

 "This is a sane proposal?!?"Willy carpenter screeched."We ain't funding dis project!""Meanie!" Willy stood on two paws on the doorstep, laughing at her proposal to make a mural, but Peck was doing what she did best in retaliation: being a big, big brat. "It's to depict the alphas defeating the phantom king! Besides, Cosmo engineered it to become organic, so when it washes off the fish in the river have something to eat." Willy's eyes grew wide, since the fish in the canyon were carnivous, and they had to poison their DNA so that the residents in the canyon were safe. Giving them enough paint to eat for years would let them lay off on the spraying. "We'll get ready!" he yelped. Peck smiled triumphantly, as if she had annoyed her big sister. "Good. May Mira bless you." She stuck her tongue out at Willy in the firefly light as he went off. Her reasoning and charmspeak always let her have her way.

 Chapter Two

 Graham rolled his eyes as Peck went back to the great room, turning on "Futurama", rated PG 14.She stuffed her mouth with all the popcorn as he plopped down next to her, to make sure he didn't get any. He still ate one she dropped on the snakeskin couch, then ate the burned one and the seeds. "Seriously, you're a big bother."he grumbled as the old scientist idenified the weird mushroom."Well, it's a tribute. Don't be a grumps." She switched the HD TV off, then started up the karoke. Graham shut the cedar door behind him as he left, since Peck insisted on singing siren songs. A few of the vines on her palm wood guitar snapped as she hit the high note heaven. When her voice was tired of screaming, she stashed the karoke behind the TV. She didn't know that phantoms were pure evil, Peck thought that Mira had just given her these privledges because she was "talented." She had seen phantoms, sure, but Mira had easily disposed of them. Peck had acted profound just to fool Mira, and knew the privledges she'd get. She kind of had the gift of prophecy, at least a little bit. Her easels and paints used to show her animated scenes of the future every morning, and she saw this from miles away.In other words, it wasn't Lisa, Sir Gilbert or Greely who was the most powerful, it was Peck.(This statement has been evaluated and checked. It is partially correct, although Harper is more powerful than all the alphas combined.)Now, she headed to her easel to plan out the mural.

 Chapter Three

 The next day, she oversaw the painting. They locked the canyons down, and had to boot out some determined Jammers trying to break the "bridge" with magic.They even stopped aerial supervision(to the annoyance of Mira) because somebody could strap on a jetpack and blend into the crowd, the tell everyone about the mural. Since Jamaa had many various plants, Cosmo mashed a few paint roots and gave them large jars of paint, depicting Peck painting Jamaa orange.(Well, there's a weird thought, Peck, some sculptor likes helicopters flying over Jamaa and painting everyone and everything orange with a steamroller.Ow!)The mural depicted the tapestry she had weaved in the Chamber Of Knowledge(the tapestry of Mira and the phantoms), Jamaasian legends, and even all the lands of Jamaa. The  mural also showed the stories of the alphas, with Otto and the other African alphas stomping Apophis, who came back as the phantom king. It even showed an animated video of the return of the alphas, with videos showing animated episodes of the alpha's quests and stories shown on Cartoon Network, and even some interviews with Mira and her sacred alphas afterward, then repeating the cycle.If you watched long enough, Mira and both Twolegs that lived here (Brady Barr and Tierney Thys) would arrive for autographs.However, Peck wanted the project to be more extravangant, so she tortured the painters all day on her throne of cacti on the bridge, even demanding they color the wolf spirit stone (there was a glitch for days afterward where new Jammers became a wolf and looked like Greely for a while.)

 Chapter Four

 "This is ridiculous."Lisa grumbled as they collected vases from the art studio carved into the side of the canyon. "Last time you had a 'great idea',you replaced the hospital with an arcade, dishonoring that tribute to Cosmo and sparking part of the Jamaasian movement. Thousands of protesters lined up in the township, and we were summoned after years of neglect. That would've happened anyway without insulting Cosmo. Mira must be joking."Peck stuck out her tongue at Lisa, and did a raspberry, ruining her asian cloak. Lisa grumbled as she wiped the spit off her robes with magic, draining her mana. "You're just jealous!" Peck screamed, then ran off. Lisa rolled her eyes, and went to split up an arguement between a wolf worker so hungry he wanted a bunny worker for lunch, and the victim had to feed him his lunch.Long sentence, long story. Peck got up on a ladder, then painted the final touch to her painting. Everyone cheered, and the Jammers trying to sneak in finally got a chance to see the mural. The canyon was packed as everyone looked at the performance unfolding, and Peck beamed with pride.

 Chapter Five

 The next day, when the ceremony was just about to end, it started to rain. Mira devised a cover to protect the screaming Jammers who didn't bring a coat, but by the time she had enough mana to cover the mural, most of it had already washed into the river as storm sewage. Peck watched all this in horror, and started sobbing right on the spot. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" she bellowed. The storm stopped, and the spotlight was on her, sobbing on stage after her mural had covered her karoke equipment and peeled off the rock."Why? Why??????"By the time she remembered she was in public, everyone was laughing. "It was supposed to peel off and feed the fish anyway, dummy!" a small bunny jeered."Bad luck that it did just when you were having a performance."Peck growled, and pointed at the bunny with a shaky paw.The poor bunny became a cactus. As Mira flew down to turn the bunny back, Sir Gilbert ran on stage and pinned her. "Peck,you have threatened our authority by making a disposable mural, then blaming us when it washed off!"he growled.Peck didn't exactly do that, but everything else was true."You will have to learn a lesson about your rank, or face a fate just like Zios's!"Everyone gasped as he mentioned the god's mysterious death in public, and whispered among themselves.Sir Gilbert knew he was trapped, so he reluctantly told the tale.

 Chapter Six

 Everyone was relieved that he told the truth, and waited for Peck to answer. "I-I'll never do this again."she said."Swear on Zios's mask!""I swear!"she yelped, then ran away, some ribbons falling out of her tail.Mira flew down to Sir Gilbert, and awarded him merit badges for teaching Peck a lesson without failing. All of Jamaa cheered, and all was at peace in Jamaa. You know what? There is a rumor that when quests arrive and Jamaa is re-Jamaasianized, the mural may come back and be repainted in Coral Canyons...

Seth's End

When we last heard from Seth, he was running from Minada's death, and told small Jammers about the Coraxese. He had forgotten his log, and only brought along Mira's feather, along with some of his photos of Greely. At the day where everyone knew of the Coraxese and never forgot to tell the children of Jamaa, he went into the alpha hut. "So you're back, traitor."Sir Gilbert grumbled. He went right past him. He went into his father's room, themed like the canyon he once lived in. The ceiling was starry, but Seth did not care.He stopped only to climb a cliff brought in to reach Greely's dresser. Since Greely was away on a quest to research phantoms in the valley, he wasn't stopped. Jewels, monocles and armor was strewn about the  closet, along with caribou bones and carved stones from the canyon. He took some ominous armor from the closet, and clipped it onto himself. Since it was meant for a shadow, the curse set on it yanked out his soul, and he screeched in pain as it injected deadly rattlesnake venom. The souls of his mother and Minaha greeted him,and smiled as he was taken far away, the iron grip of death hosting him. He was dumped in a bright field where the heroes lived, and didn't care that his father screeched in terror when he found his body changing armor.

Shade and Seth

The loves of Greely

 by Amy Jiao

 Greely is an alpha that is distant from the other alphas, and he often is seen bargaining with phantoms.He isn't evil, though, and once loved two other wolves, Shade and Seth. However, he would lose both of them...

Shade

 At the beginning of  time, Mira and Zios created Jamaa. However, many years later a group split from the Jamaasians to form a rival culture called the Coraxese. Here is the account of Greely's affairs with the last priestess of the Coraxese...

 Chapter One

 The alphas had known about the Coraxese for decades now, and their false beliefs irked them, especially Lisa. They believed in a star goddess named Moon, but Mira had assured them that Moon was a fake. Yet, the Coraxese had strong beliefs, but that didn't stop them from dying out after being defeated in war. The only decesndant of the culture left was Shade, a beautiful young mortal priestess that Greely loved. "She is a decensdant of those unbelievers,"Peck would complain, but Greely still dated her. Since he was basically a minor god, since Mira had bestowed all the alphas immortailty to be her lieuteuants forever, he gave Shade many gifts, like a small dog and a necklace. She would, in turn, give him old scrolls about phantoms her ancestors left behind in their elaborate temples. Even after Mira had tried to seperate him from Shade multiple times because she knew Shade's horrible fate, they still dated, which annoyed Amelia more than anyone else. Whenever he got back, Amelia would yell at him for betraying their oath to only date each other. However, now he wasn't so distant from the other alphas, as Shade always cheered him up, and nobody found sometjing wrong with that.

Chapter Two

 Two years later...

 Greely and Shade now had a son, Seth. They were very happy, together, and they explored all the time. But soon, battling phantoms grew tiresome, and Shade instead taught him about Moon, which annoyed him, but he didn't speak up. Now they sat in her small cave, flipping through books of Coraxese myths."Jamaa was created when Moon rose from an egg in the sky, and sent matter down from the heavens. However, everyone has forgotten what she did, and believes in floating masks and grey herons now. Moon really created Jamaa."Greely wanted to protest, but something told him that it would ruin their relationship, so he kept quiet. Seth played with some feathers they had found on the rocks. After some silence, Greely's curiousity got the best of him. "Show me Moon's constellation."he demanded. Shade smiled. "That's not a probelm." She pointed at the stars, and he could see that the constellation was of a wolf, the same one that was named after him. "You Jamaasians named i after you, and we Coraxese named it after Moon. It'll always be a reminder of our bond." Greely tapped her, and she looked at him. Even Seth looked. "Will you always be with me?"he asked her in a gruff but soothing voice. She hesitated, then nodded. "Always."she promised. Shade had no idea that "always" wouldn't be long.

Chapter Three

 The next day, Greely waited for her to come, but she didn't appear. After six hours of waiting, a blue macaw appeared, it's expression grim. "What is it?" he growled. A bloodstained letter fell out of the mail bird's bag, and it flew away. It was from Mira, and apparently it was written hastily when surveying a body. He shuddered. He clawed the envelope open, only to find bad news.
 After some crying, since Shade's healthy heart was slipped in there, he read the ink. It told him(gently) about how Shade had ran into hungry phantoms while bringing a sacrifical ox to the temple of Moon, and how she had valiantly died to save the throne of Moon. Mira also said that her body would be put into the temple, and the temple taken into the sky to hide what happened.Greely bawled,and ran over to little Seth to gently tell him that his mama wolf was dead.

Seth

Ten years later...

 Seth had enough of being babied by his dad, Greely, and requested apprenticeship.Greely had accepted the offer, and said that after Shade had died when he was a few months old, he protected Seth with his life. They trained relentlessly, and even did crunches, pushups and situps, the stuff you do in gyms. They even borrowed a "treadmill" that Graham owned just for training. Seth lifted weights and swam in the ocean when the sea was roughest, making his muscles rugged and handsome. However, after being hidden from the alphas because he was the offspring of a Coraxese and a Jamaasian(especially Amelia, she is still mad to this day about Shade),he was very mean.Greely and Lisa tried to give him obedience lessons, but he would make even the toughest cry when he threatened them. Eventually, they gave up. After three years of training, Seth got tired of training. "When will I be an alpha?" he would ask Greely every day,but he would ignore him.He stopped working so hard, and Greely spanked him. Seth was tired, and very unhappy. But before he could even think of turning over to the phantoms, Greely gave him a diary to write his feelings in, even though it read LOG since it was supposed to be a log filled with dark mythology. Seth loved writing in it, and would write all day. Then, he hit his teenage years. He became extra handsome, and all the supermodels would scream if they could date him. Soon, a poor wolf named Minaha knocked on his door. "What?"he growled, licking rasberry ink off the page where he had misspelled a word."I-it's a young wolf named Minaha, and I've got a gift for you."she squeaked. He stormed up the basement stairs to the door.

Chapter Two

 He opened the door, and a rather beautiful wolf in rags looked up at him.A small, pink box wrapped with blue silk was in front of her. However, he had a furry heart, and the gift did not appease him."Thank you,"he muttered, kicking the gift inside,"Now get lost."Minaha squealed in delight, and ran away. Seth locked the door, and wondered why Minaha had acted so happy when he'd insulted her dignity. Girls were weird. Instead of opening the gift, though, he hid it in a broom closet and forgot about it for years.
 The alphas were tired of Seth as he begged them to become an alpha. Once he gave up, they cursed him to be always pursed by phantoms. Every day, he would wake up to phantoms knocking on the window, and he'd have to defeat them, only for them to return the next day. He tired, and yet they didn't give up.Soon, he was close to death. Now, weeks later, he puffed as he fought. Blood oozed from his wounds,and a phantom closed in for a death blow to the neck. However, a shadow streaked between them and took the blow"NO!"A dying Minaha dropped to the ground, and the phantoms drank her blood, and left for good.

Chapter Three

 "Why???"he screeched, as Minaha wheezed. "I bullied you, why did you do that?!?"Minaha sighed, and weakly looked into his eyes.Her eyes were storm gray."Y-you are special."she sighed."Before you commit suicide, tell Jamaa about the land of Corax. I'll die in peace."Without a proper goodbye, milky substance covered her eyes.He ran into his house, and pulled out the gift. Seth tore it open, and a tail feather was inside. The coppery feather of Mira. Minaha had loved him, and even risked an anceint curse for him, and he abused that. He ran, and did as he was told.

The Phantom King


The phantom king has been defeated more than once by the alphas by tearing him apart, but he always is pieced together by his goons.Keep an eye out for a large phantom...and here is some of the few biographies made about this tyrant.

 The Phantom Monster is a large phantom shown in the Animal Jam video, "Return of the Alphas." It was a large phantoms that may have been the king of the Phantoms, but met it's demise when the Alphas attacked it's body.Who knows when this king will finally be defeated by a hero?

Zios


Zios is the skyfather, and soulmate of Mira A profuse amount of information about him is a mystery. As for his appearence: the Zios Fountain, Gem Ball next to Mira Says, the long running rug in the second room of the Chamber of Knowledge, and the severed statue at the heart of the Temple of Zios all view him as a Sun with three apertures [The eyes and mouth]. It was shown in "The return of the Alphas" he was a mysterious creature destroyed by the Phantoms and possibly the deceased Phantom monster.However, some interviews with the alphas state that the phantom monster was the phantom king,and the phantom king is Apophis...


Could this be Zios's forme of when he was alive?


Mira's Short Biography


 Mira is the Sky Mother of Jamaa, according to Lisa's log.Even though her feathers are turquiose, she is called the grey heron for unknown reason.Traces of her spirit are found in the township statue,and in the forest fire pit.

Mira was invovled in many of the Jamaasian legends, including in the rise of the phantoms.She was created by Zios when he became lonely,and felt that he needed more help in creating Jamaa.Later, the phantoms were created from Mira's tears, when Zios mysteriously left.

Epilouge

Mira started to weep, and Lisa tried to comfort her, but she started bawling. Sir Gilbert lay in shock, wondering why he had to kill Zios.The alphas took him back to the hut and gave him hot chocolate, but they never relied on him again. When Lisa came back, her face was worried, and told them about how the dark energy that Mira wept became odd one-eyed creatures, with varying amounts of legs.They soon fought a desperate war against these creatures, as they were phantoms.They appeared as "new" to the Jammers because they had worked in secrecy for many years, and they finally got enough energy to appear just when the animals made a last stand. Most of the alphas went to find and destroy the phantoms, while Lisa and Amelia stayed behind to help the newer Jammers.As for Mira and Zios, they retreated into the heavens once Mira had died to avenge Amelia.And if you're wondering how Amelia appeared as an Alpha before she really became one?They made a clone of her, then used it before Amelia came back.

Mira, the Sky Mother, was heartbroken after she lost her companion spirit, Zios, the Sky Father. Her feelings of sadness and anger fell to the ground as whisps of black fog, a dark substance that comes from the fabric of time. These 'tears' of Mira's spirit mixed with the elements of Jamaa and formed the dark mysterious phantoms that haunt this land today. Due to the sadness and anger that they were created from, the phantoms' only goal is to bring chaos and destruction to Jamaa.

 The Beginnning
by Animal Jam

 And so it was that the Sky Father was named Zios. He created many stars and planets, and set them in motion. But after eons of creation, he became lonely. So he created the Sky Mother, a grey heron, and named her Mira.

Mira was beautiful and kind and they were very happy together. She loved Zios deeply and often told him how talented he was, encouraging him to create. Together, Zios and Mira created their masterpiece: a lush land filled with oceans, mountains, meadows, and all kinds of plants and animals. They named this special world Jamaa, and for hundreds of years, the world and its animals were at peace.

But today, all is not well in Jamaa. A mysterious dark force has crept into the land, stealing away animals and ruining the beauty of Jamaa. Only you can help save the animals and restore the world to its glory. Please help, for you are Jamaa's only hope.


Zios's Death
by Amy Jiao(AJ)

 The animals banged hammers, and brought in baskets full of jewels glittering in the bright sun.They were building a tall and allmighty statue of their king, Zios, and they were almost finished after three years of hard work. They had finished Mira's statue a decade earlier, and the king had requested his own statue. That was before he had been corrupted
You see, he once had hiked all the way into the Forgotten valley, where all the spirit stones were stored.Nobody, except for the alphas and the gods, could acess the valley without being ambushed by sleeping spirits, and die fighting. But after he had come back, he had been greedy, demanding that his statue become more and more mighty. Now, Jamaa was poverty-striken, and the workers could barely feed their own families, since more workers were being taken from the fields to work on the statue.However, nobody fought back, since they all feared the king of the Cosmos.Only Sir Gilbert dared such a thing. "Why can't we just mutiny?"he would demand Mira and Lisa whenever the alphas met. "I agree,"Amelia always said, growling under her breath, but again and again Greely would shush her. "Because my husband is a good deity, and he must just want to make Jamaa not look weak."Mira would say. "But we DO look weak if we keep on working on a mere statue!" he would argue, and that was quite sensible, but nobody wanted to see the wrath of Zios. Many moons passed, and yet Zios didn't stop demanding.Soon, even the alphas were struggling to feed themselves. "We have to do something!"Gilbert shouted. "Do what?"Peck asked, painting her belly turquiose."Let Zios destroy Jamaa?" "Well, that's inevitable if we all keep this up."Gilbert argued, sensibly.Since he was a great tactician and warrior, they finally gave in. They huddled around him to listen to his plan.
 The day when the statue was supposed to be finished, the alphas went into the township to see Zios at Mira's statue. The ruins were far below the bamboo forest, since Mira had put this ledge onto Jamaa township as a tribute to her. There, the floating mask of Zios waited for them, his eyes pitch black. Pitch black? Everyone knew that Zios's eyes weren't pitch black, they were blue. Something was terribly wrong. He had been displayed as a monkey in his temple, since that was his true form (his mask is the only thing safe for a mortal to look at, since his body is pure fire),even though Zios had stated before that his form irked him.But whatever you believe is what it is, as mythology goes."Have you come to recieve new orders?"he growled. "I want my statue decorated with gold leaf!""Sir, we have already done that."Lisa said, her tone stern. "In fact, your people are suffering poverty as we speak." "LIES! Sacrifice the ones that suffer most at the feet of my statue and let their suffering blood spill to feed me!"Lisa, Mira and the other alphas looked shocked. "But they're your people!"Mira cried. "Stop it!" "They are NOT my people if they suffer when I am showering them with justice!""You call killing animals JUSTICE?!?"Sir Gilbert leapt onto Zios's back."You're nothing but pure shadow!"A serpent of evil emerged from Zios's mouth, and the mask collasped.The black muck was alien material, but the African alphas seemed to recognize it."Apophis!"they shouted all at once. The shadow cackled."Yes, chiefs, I have been squeezed into nothing but shadow, and have possesed your beloved king! Once this lady here does her part-"He slithered toward Mira, but she zapped him with electricity-"I shall have an almighty form, and a wife!Muahahahahahahahahaha!"Cosmo went over to Zios to perform nature magic, while the other alphas tried every spell, jinx and charm they could muster to destroy the shadow,but it seemed immune to everything.The shadow crept back inside Zios, and shook off a yelping Cosmo. Sir Gilbert growled, determined to prove himself to the alphas.They never brought him along on quests that invovled rescuing or helping Jammers, since he had scared Amelia out of her mind.He wanted to make himself accepted."I shall destroy you, shadow!"he shouted, and clawed out part of the shadow through an eye.Zios started to awaken from his sleep inside his body, and acted very confused."Sir Gilbert, why are you attacking me..?"he said in a small voice, but he didn't have the strength to fight back, and Gilbert was determined to kill the shadow.They fought for many days, since Zios had many lives, but even after the shadow left Gilbert still pummeled Zios, to "make sure that Apophis isn't hiding."Soon, Zios lay dying on the floor, ichor spilled everywhere.Cosmo worked furiously to make sure that Zios survived, while the other alphas held Sir Gilbert back.After a few minutes of stitching up Zios, Cosmo mouthed three words: He cannot survive.
