Room 8 Charades

The Journey Through the Desert

Far beyond the myths of time there lived 2 boys which were on a mountain climbing it. They got tired and hungry, so they decided to go home and then the boys forgot the way home so they went to find the way home but they could not find their way home.

Then it got dark they felt scared and lonely. So the sun started to rise up and then from where they slept and they continued their journey on to find their way home, hoping they were going to find their way home.

 But...instead of finding their way home, they got themselves lost in the desert. A Jesus cross was on a death between the sun and the moon. This happened because the sun was angry at the the moon because they never got to see each other anymore. They had been pushed apart from each other. 

But the people were named R.J and Edward. They were running so fast that they got dehydrated because there was no water. So they kept on walking for hours that they didn't know they had been walking for a town called Home Planet and they found their house by walking from the desert to their house.
