The Adventure of Swayel and Jelco ... by Jake

"Jelco" Swayel yelled out. "Yes" Swayel replied. Jelco easily balancing on a small cliff on the 100,000 metre mountain they were climbing. "I just found this letter stuck in the snow" said Swayel. "Come over here and show me" Jelco said as his muscles flexed. He was built like a machine but even with all his strength he stumbled and kicked a mound of dirt on the small cliff. Then suddenly the side of the mountain the cliff was facing crumbled to the ground and Jelco was left standing on what now looked like a floating platform, with a steel padlocked door in front of him. Swayel swang onto the platform like a monkey and carefully opened the letter to see a code and a poem.

read Swayel with a confused and sad face. But as Swayel started to climb Jelco spoke: E, L, W and A are the only letters in capital, it's a simple code "E+ternal=Eternal, L+iving=Living, W+ill=Will and A+rrive=Arrive - Eternal Living Will Arrive" said Swayel as he looked at the hook shaped lock on the door.

"Squawk" a parrot came into view and snapped its jaw. Both Jelco and Swayel knew this wasn't an invitation for a cup of tea as they started hurling large rocks at the parrot. One of Swayel's miss-aimed rocks hit a humungous stone which not only fell and killed the deadly bird but revealed the hook.

Jelco scaled the small wall as easy as you and I read a book and before long had inserted the hook into position and was looking at the 100,000 metre drop with only thin columns of rock to guide them. As Jelco adjusted the rope Swayel put his harness made out of sticks on.

As two of the sticks clicked and the rope tightened one of the many pillars crumbled to the ground. 'Swish' and 'click' the final harness sticks were in place and the two men were ready to go. "Ready" asked Jelco as Swayel climbed onto his rope "once you've said go" "3,2,1 go" yelled Jelco as they sped through the darkness and towards a now faintly visible doorway.

"You there Jelco?" asked Swayel as his eyes adjusted to the dark and he saw Jelco turning the knob on the door handles. When the door finally opened up a mysterious voice said "you are now eternal". Everyone knelt before them, the eternal men. This was the day they celebrated the day Swayel and Jelco were made eternal.

And that's the story of Swayel and Jelco
