From the floor he slowly rose, bones creaking under the weight of his burden no more as it was now being carried by the 400 he cured. All who could fit, rose on the stage with him. copyright protection289PENANAUpON4PBb1L

This she said with a large and radiating smile to the elder just standing up. All the faces he turned his head slowly to see were wearing smiles as widely as they could fit. The young, old and in between, all who had mouths used them. copyright protection289PENANAVQDliO5gcZ
[Oldman: … Ple-… *cough* I do believe that would be an offer I durst not want to refuse. I will accept your proposition on the condition that you allow me to orchestrate your readings, after all, synchronization is critical.] copyright protection289PENANAR4g03E3Rv5
His voice was unlike before, it was rough and sore. On the lips of the elder were traces of blood leaking from his gums. He could feel his moistened lips and quickly covered them with his hand. copyright protection289PENANACtBFEgx5Tw

He commanded for the loudest amongst them to stand on the stage, to be precise, the 20 loudest. Off the stage he stood and turned his back to the audience and faced his assistances. To them he commanded them to repeat after him, each line they heard him say. All nodded, he smiled, and thus they began the repetition of 'Bear and Fairy'. The voices thundered violently and with passion, the words which brought them life once more. The elder directed them with what little of his voice he could sound out through the amplifier. All around in all directions, each and every person in the front rows heard the poetic piece of a man of poor fortune with women. The eyes of the dead eyed were rekindled, a fire once more lit in their eyes.293Please respect copyright.PENANAGj3hJcwo3x

The children could once again scream, the old could once again complain, the men and woman could once again display affection for each other. Easily 2000 of the townsfolk were cured of their illness, the colors from their gowns and trunks exploded like a splash of a body falling from a 30 foot waterfall all around. All faces and bodies were wearing the same vibrant colors of their neighbors clothing. The torrents of colorful paints poured from the seats and down to the others. All cried with joy, and those behind them once more could feel their hearts beating from the echoes of what could have been heard. Cheering rang through all of them, soon hushed by the old man. To the ground he fell flat to his face. All gasped at the sight of their savior on the ground. Silence retook the town. copyright protection289PENANApXl20lmY0q
[Anna: No one panic! He would not want all of this to be for nothing!] copyright protection289PENANAoZNpJB1Ycp
With the amplifier cone in her hand she said these words quite vocally and continued. She walked to the elder and saw in his limp hand, a booklet. She took it from his person and skimmed it. [Doctors! Don't stand there and do nothing! Get to the man and treat him!] She commanded fiercely. 5 men and 4 women rushed immediately to his side and carried him to somewhere more secluded. copyright protection289PENANAWCQprgn9oA
[Anna: I have in my possession a booklet he had in his hand! In it are poems he prepared for us to hear! All who have color on their persons should vacate their seats and switch with those impaired!] copyright protection289PENANA3vpsRFARFo
Her orders were taken to heart and a massive shuffle transpired through the amphitheater. The masses after a while was finally shuffled. Wasting no time, she took the position of the elder and began to orchestrate the poetry to be read. To the loudest on the stage she said. copyright protection289PENANAx3MpDSqD46

Applause! Applause! The crowd of thousands screamed, all souls in the vicinity broke out in cheers and praise! Not one citizen was unimpressed by the craftsmanship of the words recited. Anna bowed to them only to be drenched in the colors erupting from them, the entire population was coated in a rainbow of hues of the rainbow. All laughed and cried in rapturous joy and contentment. The reciters also tried to, but unfortunately their throats were sore and all they could do was to hug and kiss their neighbors to their hearts content. And as if by some greater force came from the magic of their renewed elatedness, it would almost seem that buildings around them were slowly getting browner by the cheers emanating from the amphitheater. [Look at that!] A young boy said as he pointed out to the buildings around them getting browner. [It's coming back! It's coming back!] More people said. The denizen could not believe what it was they feasted their eyes on. For the first time in weeks, their town was gifted by color. copyright protection289PENANAq4peLJ5u8c
