Hey jammers! Today's rare items are Rare Bat Glasses, sold on the seventh page of Jam Mart Clothing. Nonmember, yay!
They also responded to my email about Snow Leopards and Wristbands. They claim they don't know anything about the new animals, which means they won't talk about them until they're announced. They also said that the wristbands don't have any codes with them, but there have been many contradicting...
Be sure to comment with any discoveries! Also, you may have noticed I've purchased an Arctic Wolf. My family finally stopped by Walmart recently, so I was able to pick one up.

Hmmm I think this is the 1st time in 8 months I won't be getting Mondays rare : /
ReplyDeleteAnd snowy your so lucky to get the arctic wolf , I really can't see why AJHQ don't add it to the outfitter shop
ReplyDeleteYeah I have told them 10 times and they won't listen to wht I say!!!!!!
DeleteOkay about Zios.. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteWhen they came together, everything was perfect. Mira, ruler of the sky, and Zios, king of the earth. This is how Jamaa formed, when they came together.
Oh, how they loved eachother.
Zios crafted bronze armor for himself, swearing to himself that he would protect Mira with his life. They lived happily together for many eons, Zios staring up at Mira and Mira gazing down at Zios. That was how it used to be.
They eventually realized that, with the population of animals inhabiting their world was growing, they needed help ruling their little world. So, together they paw-crafted each and everyone one of the shamans to help them keep peace.
That was when war broke out.
Every time an animal felt negitive feelings, a phantom was born. Soon, there were so many phantoms, they could not stay in the uncharted lands. So, they swarmed on the villages and towns of every region, attacking innocent animals.
Zios bravely went to bravely attack the phantoms. It was Jamaa's only chance. He charged into battle, the shamans right behind him. The phantoms surrounded him, and though he hacked away at the evil little creatures with his sword, there were just too many of them. Zios knew what he had to do.
Mira, meanwhile, had been at one of the attacked villages, healing the injured. She immediately sensed what was wrong and flew as fast as she could to her beloved. But, it was too late.
Zios loved his world he and Mira had shaped together as much as he lived her. With the phantoms swarming his whole body, he knew that his desision would effect all of Jamaa.
Summoning all the ancient magic within him, he projected all of his remaning life source across Jamaa, a spell that would protect his world from the phantoms forever. (More down below) -Zebrafish
He crashed lifelessly to the ground as the phantoms surrounding him evaporated. Mira let out a screech of utter horror, and rushed to his side. The shamans watched as she cradled his head in her wing, tears blossoming in her eyes. Jamaa's great king was dead.
DeleteThe funeral was held a few days later. All of the animals attended, to watch their leader layed to rest. His armor was taken off his body, and his face had an odd contented look on it.
Mira was silent the whole ceremony. The shamans knew she had changed that night, when he died. She refused to speak with them, flying away to her perch with our a word. Legend says that night her tears created the great oceans.
The days after these events were devestating. The wreckage the phantoms made was alarmingly bad, and nobody had seen their queen since the funeral.
One quiet afternoon, she went on a rage. Flying through the sky, creating a thunderstorm so big that it stretched all the way across the uncharted lands. Thunder boomed so loud, it sounded like a hundred elephants running towards you. The lightning was so bright, it felt like the sun was falling on the very earth.
Then, as quickly as it started, it stopped.
Everyone was devastated to find that Zios's statue had been zapped to pieces in her fury. The only thing not destroyed was his head, which was engraved with rough burns with the word: "Remember."
No one has ever seen Mira ever since. But, everyone will remember that day as "the day of the great storm."
Mira, in her rage, seemed to have somehow broken a small part of Zios's spell. Now, on the day that Jamaa's great ruler sacraficed himself, the phantoms can access Jamaa, and wrech havoc to their heart's content. Nobody knows how Mira did it, perhaps as a reminder for all of what Zios did for them. "Night of the phantoms" is a day everyone has nightmares about, and everyone dreads the dhate very year that the phantoms will come again.
-Zebrafish (tell me what ya think! :3
Oooops, the last sentence is supposed to read, "And everyone dreads the day each year when the phantom rise again." :3 -Zebrafish
DeleteI know there are a lot of other grammar mistakes, it's just I'm typing on my iPod and i made this completely on the top of my head lol
DeleteI meant "As much as he loved her"
And "Zios bravely went to attack"
Anyways.., I'd like to know y'all's opinion on my little story X3 perhaps some pointers? (Hey, we all learn from 'em, right?)
-Zebrafish
Oh, and i know the phantone were created AFTER Zios died, and that Zios was not king of the earth or whatever, but this is how I thought the story should have gone :3
Delete-Zebrafish
I think that statue was there because when Zios left forever, Mira and the shamans built a statue in his honor . One day, Mira's feelings of sadness and grief felt too overwhelming for her .Her tears fell to jamaa and that was what created phantoms. That shocked Mira that her feelings had so much power, so she controls her feelings now. The phantoms still remained.
ReplyDeleteOn the day of the battle between Mira and the phantoms, the phantoms passed the statue of zios. To make his troops feel victorious, the leader of the phantoms destroyed the statue and,standing on top of the destroyed statue , it boomed" We shall reign over Mira and the shamans of Jamaa!" Some of the weaker phantoms, stayed in the statue claiming this to be their new home. They dug deeper and made it an underground home. Whenever jammers sleep nearby, the weaker phantoms that had stayed ,think the animals dead and come out to try and take over Jamaa. But as long as Mira is a part of everything in Jamaa , the phantoms can't do a thing wrong here in jamaa.

ReplyDeleteLucky! My Walmart doesn't sell the gift cards :( I asked the ppl that work there and they said they have no idea what their talking about!
Deletehere is my story of Zios:
ReplyDeletea long time ago in Jamaa, mira had a companion. his name was zios. they grew up together and helped each other defeat the awful phantom king, zarsus. but one day, zarsus found a reflecting ball, and in it was a dark force of evil. he wanted revenge, so he threw it in the lake where Mira and Zios liked to swim. Zarsus knew not to invoke anger into Mira, for she could destroy him. so, he threw it so as only Zios would be destroyed. when Zios and Mira came to swim, Zios made a blood freezing scream as if he where a terrible bird. Mira saw him turn into a cloud of mist and she ran to where Zios loved to walk and made him a statue, dapicting him with his mask on. but, that night, the phantoms came and destroyed the statue, ripping it apart. the spirit of Zios was very angry and he ripped the phantom king in two. from now on the spirit of Zios still wanders in that very forest. THE END!!!

DeleteThe Forgotten Story
ReplyDelete(WARNING! THIS STORY IS NOT A HAPPY STORY! FOR ALL DOES WHO LIKE HAPPY STORIES AND HATE SAD STORIES THEN DO NOT READ!)
Nobody remembered what had really happened after Zios and Mira disappeared in thin air. It was as if they never existed in this world...it was as if nothing terrible had happened against the two gods and the shamans. It was as if those tales of the mighty gods and shamans were all fake. Everything seemed...forgotten. Or was it?
Sir Gilbert and his close brother like friend Greely were standing side by side as they were gazing up at the magnificent statue of their god...Zios. The statue was taking over half a year but it was worth it. There were jades, emeralds, diamonds and other precious stones stuck to the statue that was made with great detail. The statue itself was made of gold! The other shamans were off to work while these two were having a small break from their every day work and admired and relaxed the beautiful statue. Sir Gilbert was getting used to Greely, the wolf himself did indeed helped him defeat the phantoms when everything seemed it was about to end. The two got used to calling each other 'brother'. Gilbert smiled as he spoke, "The Statue is almost done, my brother. Soon enough the town will feast and have a big ceremony to honor Zios himself!" Greely didn't smile but you could tell that he was happy because from how happy his voice sound, "I am happy for the idea of the ceremony. It's strange how Mira and Zios never seem to visit us that much now...do you think I'm doing something wrong?" Gilbert smirked as he elbowed his best friend in the ribs playfully, "Don't worry. You're the shaman of the year! Zios chooses you for a reason!" Greely smiled sadly back at him friend...ever since he had joined the shamans it seemed like the gods had favorite him out of them all. He was worried about what the tiger would think...this was his fith year being the top shaman and Gilbert used to be the one who was top shaman before he came! But Sir Gilbert only seemed to smile as his white deadly teeth glisten like pearls.
THE NIGHT OF THE CEREMONY
"The Statue is now...completed!" Peck announced as trumpets played their melody. The streets were filled with colorful candles and there were flowers and paper decorations in every corner of the land of Jamma. Everyone was wearing their best clothes and the scent of fresh food filled the summer sky. There was music, dancing, laughter, singing, clapping, stomping and any other sound you could think of going at once! The Shamans were enjoying themselves until they noticed it was about time for them to meet the two gods in the small statue of their goddess, Mira. It was another time for the Gods to choose who the next top Shaman was...and Greely noticed how his close friend Gilbert was acting so impatient. The shamans entered the small temple that held the statue of their goddess and they were greeted by an annoyed god and a quiet goddess. "You're late." Zios muttered as he stood before the shamans. The shamans frowned, their god didn't looked pleased even though they were having a ceremony just for him and his wife! They even spent over a year of their lives to build his own statue! The shamans were quiet as stone as Zios continued, "You fools spend over a year for a party! How foolish! I have created you all to make this world a safe and protected place! And look have what you done...spending one year of your precious time...FOR A STUPID PARTY?!" Everyone flinched from his words. Mira was frowning towards her husband from his actions but said nothing.Zios sigh as he walked towards Greely, "Greely, I have chosen you for a reason, my boy. You have disappointed me. As top shaman you should know your responsibilities! What have you been thinking?! My wife and I have chosen you from how smart you were! You should be ashamed of yourself! I should have ordered Gilbert to have you killed back in the temples when he had first meet you..."
(Continued)
DeleteGreely stood his ground as the god slowly walked back towards hi wife. The god continued to say terrible things about the wolf shaman and even pushed him to the ground once or twice to humiliate him from his failures! He didn't say a word for he knew if he spoke he would get in more trouble. "All of you disappointed me. You all are an example of selfish animals that only think about partyin-!" "Stop!" Everyone turned and faced Gilbert. The tiger had enough of being lectured by the god and yowled, "If you hadn't noticed, my lord, we have been working our tails off to protect this city! We were making the statue to honor of you creating us all! We were having a feast and party to celebrate after all our hard work and to celebrate you two! And this is how to repay us?! Spitting at us and telling my brother that I should have KILLED him?! I believe we should have just never celebrated for you...you rude...I can't even say the words! You are not even a god to me now!" Zios immediately threw the tiger away from him, making Gilbert crash and fall to the floor emotionless. Even though Zios was known to be all creation...he was not the nicest. He was strong and he was seen cold heart ed in the outside just to protect the animals he cared for...it was for his own people's good. He needed to look strong in the outside so his enemies would not attack his people that easily! Problem was, through this technique the god himself was growing colder and colder and even his kind wife couldn't even stop him from growing powerful and meaner. Sir Gilbert began to fight Zios...a god! Zios was impressed by how strong the tiger became from just from a little cub. Even the god had trouble fighting off the half god tiger. All the shamans were half gods but Sir Gilbert seemed the strongest! There were clashes of blades and claws and bits of blood fell to the ground. There were screams and shouts and Zira tried to stop the two but got knocked out herself from one of the god's big heavy wings. The other shamans tried to stop Gilbert from how much he was hurting the god...but it was no use for the tiger was so concentrated to much to their horror...on killing the god! After the long battle the temple itself was crashed into pieces with the god and half god's attack moves. And soon enough the god was killed, the ceremony came to a canceled and to Mira's horror Gilbert ordered the animals to destroy the statue. Mira was silent for the whole entire time as she watched the animals knock down the statue. Several of the jewels flew off to other worlds the animals had not yet discovered and those stones are know known as today the spirit stones which would bring new animals if an animal finds them. All the animals were sad and depressed from their god's death and many hated Gilbert.
(Continued)
DeleteMira was still silent and didn't visit the animals that much from then but did not bring in any revenge but cried tears of sadness and hatred. These tears created the creatures that we now know as phantoms today. Before the day of chaos ended Greely turned to look at her close friend and asked quietly, "Why have you killed Zios? He was our god!" Gilbert only answered him plainly, "You are a loyal friend, Greely. You care and respect all animals of Jamma. And I believe you are not worth treated terribly like how Zios treated you in the temple. We don't deserve a god who has a cold heart." "But he...!" "Cosmo had a vision. He told me that he saw Zios destroying all of us...he killed you painfully the most. If I had not killed Zios you would sooner or later be dead and same for the other animals. It was for our own good. I know I have done one of the most terrible things in history and really, I do not care if I am seen as a bad animal...for I knew I did it for the animals that I care and love. And also," The tiger turned to face the wolf and smiled sadly, "You are my close friend, Greely. And I do not want you to be treated that way and get killed."

Here's my story:
ReplyDeleteIn the winds of time while Mira was battling all of the phantoms, a large crash was heard in the middle of the temple where Mira and Zios lived. Before she could defeat the Phantoms, she went there. The phantoms secretly watched over her As she cried her heart to Zios, Mira used a pit that originally had a monkey statue on a throne that was honored to Graham's ancestor, the monkey king, to lay Zios, later she covered the pit with a statue of Zios, only the Shamans were to witness the burial of Zios.. Later, the phantoms secretly destroyed the statue, finding out the pit was very deep, they lived there, so whenever they see a Jamaasian sleeping, they wake up and hunt him/her.
About your arctic wolf, snowy, Yay! I love how your arctic wolf looks! :D
ReplyDeleteZios once, did not have his mask that so many of us know him as. Once he was as valiant as a tiger, strong-willed as a lion, swift as a hawk, graceful as a wolf. That was before he found Mira. Now, all those things above described his personality, but not his... facial features. His face and boy-ish grin was mediocre at best. And, yes, even though Zios was centuries old (or so) he was also very fun-loving, and yet somehow regal. Well, when he created Mira he instantly fell in love with her. But, he was worried she wouldn't like him. So he spent all his time making a glorious mask.
ReplyDeleteA couple decades later, he got Mira and showed her his real face, but she didn't care. She loved him for his amazing personality!
-pac10, That is my story, I know- it stinks. Also, if someone's going to be that stupid to swear, just ignore 'em! All they want is for you to, ya know, Freak Out.

Your arctic wolf looks so cute!! :D
ReplyDeleteHeres my story... it continues very long so sorry about that! Btw come visit my den my user is Lydiaplusawesome :)if i put ( continued-.) then u know its me!
ReplyDeleteZios protected Jamaa and kept it peaceful. Although the jammers were happy, Zios felt lonely. Even with the Shamans, he still needed someone right by his side. Zios went into the castle, locked the door and used his magic to create Mira, a beautiful crane, who was graceful. Together Mira and Zios ruled Jamaa making Jammers happy and even safer. The shamans appriciated Zios so much that they built a statue in his honor. They used rare gems to create the eyes and the statue took a year to finish. after it was done the shamans were pleased. They watched as zios sat admiring the statue, mira by his side. Mira and Zios were amazed at how the shamans could be trusted, so Zios let him defend Jamaa also. He created secret places that the shamans live. then he took them around and showed them exactly where the borders of jamaa were. The shamans watched as Zios showed them. Then a phantom ruler came out and fought zios. Zios had lost all hope even though all the shamans helped. Zios's spirit rised, shooting into the statue. More phantoms started to attack. Mira battled them with shamans helping, but there were too many. they destroyed the zios statue, crushing it to pieces. The phantoms dug deep, living in the rubble. When jammers sleep, 4 or more, the phantoms come out to see if it is time for the night of the phantoms by looking for halloween items. The only thing left other than rubble was one of the special crystals that Mira kept with her to remember Zios. Zios can see through the crystals like eyes though, so he can see Mira. Mira to this day still holds the crystal, keeping Zios close. the other Crystal watches over jammers in a secret place, keeping them safe but not exposing it to phantoms. Mira still looks for any signs of Zios when animal jam goes offline.
that's is a great story. it has very vivid details!
Deleteawholenewworld
its still me lydiaplusawesome and i think its pretty fun for my story because jammers may now go off looking for the crystal! so it makes n adventure too!
ReplyDeleteLong when Jamaahad only shamans, Zios ruled with Mira. The world of Jamaa was so new that it only had a township and Greely had recently gotten Mount Shiveer from the phantom king.
DeleteOne day, Zios told Mira and the shamans that he was going to get the spirit stones for falcons. They were all sad and worried to see him go out into phantom territory. Liza, as the main shaman, Gave Mira the idea to build a temple and statue for Zios. The shamans built it carefully and finished at a bad time. Zios had been gone for months and Jamaa was more vulnerable. All the phantoms came to the temple. Greely, Peck, Cosmo, Liza, Graham, Sir Gilbert, and Cosmo fought a great, strong fight, but the temple and statue were destroyed. Mira watched from her secret place, and saw it all happen. The shamans rebuilt the temple, but the phantom king had left some soldiers to stay and live in the ruins of the statue, and they couldn't be chased away. Zios hasn't been seen since, but nobody will give up hope.
Plus, on The Day of the Phantoms, those soldiers come out to nab a spirit stone and hide it. That is we trick-or-treat, to keep them from finding it since they only come out when little to no jammers are out, too.
The End
*That is why we

Hello, Snowy. i know you don't know me... but i know you! lol that seems a wee bit creepy. Hows everyone's day going? Snowy i like the look just not on the arctic wolf. could you do one of the votey-thingy for your look? i wanna see what other people think of it. maybe you could dress like a chocolate cookie and see how that looks like? i don't know i just had to say that. about the story id never think of an explanation to describe Zios. i do comment every so often so maybe the name's familiar...
ReplyDeleteAwholenewworld
yay, nm rare monday, im a member but still good for my friends! i have nm accounts so yeah. but here goes my story.
ReplyDeleteMost jammers know the story of how Jamaa was created and that Zios passed away. But how did Zios pass away? why is his statue broken? Well, heres a theory.
dirker is a fizzing ball of shadow and darkness.
Zios and Mira went to their sky palace high in the clouds, they had been watching for Dirker attacks and had grew so tired. While they rested the dikers rose and attacked Jamaa! They fired shadow blasts of darkness at animals turning them all black and white eyes like the phantoms of today, the animals soul grew dark and the good was locked deep inside them. The last animal, a white cat with angel wings quickly soared up to the sky and told Mira and Zios. "OH MY!" Mira gasped. Mira flew down with Zios and tried to use her blue light to get rid of the dirkers' darkness and evil. Her light was not bright enough at all. The angel cat was struck by the dikers' darkness and turned into a black cat white eyes and black angel wings now. She turned evil now and hissed at Mira and Zios, she was powerful enough to help destroy Jamaa along with the phantoms now. Zios knew what he had to do, he said good bye to Mira, Zios rose into the sky and chanlled all his power, engery, and "light". Blasting rays of golden sunshine everywhere saving Jamaa! however this exhausted him and he died. They made a zios shaped coffin for Zios and put his body in it. Miras sadness fell to Jamaa creating the phantoms, heir of the dikrers. The phantoms wanted to follow in the dirkers ways and be bad, of course phantoms are never as bad as dikers, but they are still pretty bad. The phantoms broke the collum his tome was sitting atop. and lived in their always laughing that they knocked it down. But Zios spirit lives on in the animals' hearts.
HOPE EVERYONE LIKED IT! I WORKED HARD ON IT!
Happy Jamming!

Very good! :)
Deleteyay to the outfit!
ReplyDeleteThere once was a bright and creative god named Zios. His eyes shone with power and warmth like twin suns and when he smiled, his smile cut across his face like happiness bringing lightning. He liked to create beauty, and shape nature.
ReplyDeleteAs time passed after he created the land called Jamaa, Zios worried about his disciples: the shamans, and the Jamaasians. Each raid from the phantoms grew worse and worse, and the darkness began to envelope the lands. Zios tried to think of ways to help the Jamaasians and shamans, and thought of an idea. "What if i created a huge ball of light in the sky? That would be a great thing to do!"
Zios thought and thought, and realized this plan had a flaw. The Jamaasians needed to sleep to, and a huge ball of light would certainly not help them sleep easier than now. The utter darkness wouldn't too, for each and every Jamaasian feared for their lives in the darkness. "I will create a smaller ball of light to shine its gentle silver rays during the dark. That way the Jamaasians will not have to live in fear and darkness"
However he tried, he did not have enough power to create both items. But every attempt left him more and more discouraged, and the Jamaasians began to stop believing in their great leader. His honor withered away, and his glory crumbled. Zios hid in his temple, not being able to bear the hate of the ones who had honored and loved him once. He tried desperately to help them.
On the fateful day the forgotten shaman sacrificed herself, a wall broke in his mind. He would sacrifice himself too, for the lasting good of jamaa. All night, he mustered up every last bit of his strength and drew courage out of himself to prepare. In the dusty and hazy morning, he would begin his plan.
In the morning, he strode out of his temple and began to cast his magic. The Jamaasians gathered, with jeering faces and doubtful glances. Zios continued his incantation, murmuring now forgotten words and using now forgotten magic. The shamans bounded into the rainforest clearing, fearful of what was to happen. Mira herself glided down from the sky and shed a single tear, fearing what her loved one would do.
As the final word was spoken, Zios began to harden into stone. A golden ball of light rose in the sky and dissolved the years of darkness that had accumulated. The Jamaasians murmured with wonder as they gazed at it. But soon enough, their eyes were directed back to Zios. There a statue stood, smiling kindly back at them. He had sacrificed himself for the good of Jamaa.
Jamaasians like to fancy that the sun and the moon are Zios' eyes, watching us from the sky. Sometimes, when Jammaasians sleep by his now weathered statue, his spirit comes to life and drives away the phantoms nesting nearby. When you pass by the crumbling statue in the rainforest clearing, take a closer look. There are still a few sparks left, from the magic of that fateful day long long ago. If you strain to hear, maybe you can catch the murmur of softly spoken words, and see the flash of light that illuminated all of Jamaa in its first sunrise. Maybe you'll see the glimmer of the eyes of the Jamaasians of the past. You will remember the tale of the loving leader who sacrificed himself to bring us lasting happiness and beauty.
Wow, I absolutely love your story! It's really creative and positive. I wouldn't be surprised if the HQ emailed you with a request to write ancient Jamaa legends on the Daily Explorer!
DeleteI love the way your Arctic Wolf looks. :)
ReplyDelete-Lpiggy
Snowy, I like your Arctic Wolf BUT if you are going to keep Old Frozenspirit, I'd change the look. But that's just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Your blog is AWESOME!
Hi snowy, i was wondering what walmart you went to, to get your Arctic wolf because when i went to get one they were totally out of the cards.
ReplyDeleteAnd for your actic wolf, i choose yay, but it seems to much like your wolf. My personal opinion about it is that you should change it up, make it a different color or something.
I think your blog is awesome by the way!!! here is the story about the statue i have:
Long ago in Jamaa history many people were happy, wandering around Jamaa. One of the most respected people in Jamaa history was Zios, the creator of Jamaa. Later on the Phantoms came and took over for a while. That was when the alphas came. They took over again and helped Jamaa be a happy place again. People wanted to respect the alpha so they made statues. The statue in the Lost Temple of Zios was of the monkey alpha, Graham. With the phantoms still wandering around in the shadows of Jamaa, they saw the staue. Going into their past they remembered that horrible day for them. They were all so angry that with all their angry combined they could destroy anything. But all they destroyed were the statues. They only one remaining tht you can see, destroyed, is the one in The Lost Temple of Zios. To this day phantoms are still angry and come out of the hollow part of the statue. The darkness within is all the phantoms have left. That is when Zios took over. His eyes were filled with fury. His mouth never split has face in half with a smile. The power within him was not the same. He knew that if he stayed the world around him would turn dark forever and Jamaa would be lost and nobody could live happily in the sun's shining light. He knew if he left something could go wrong forever. Zios convinced himself that he should leave. A total of 9 days later Jamaa named that temple after him as The lost temple of zios. Forever will he want to protect Jamaa and that is why he left and has never been uncoved again...
I know it was not that good... Please respond and give me positive feed back because i never feel good about me writing! Thank you everybody!
Here is my story snowy
ReplyDelete" There once was a mask in a store. There was a small tiger who begged his mom to get him the mask but his mom would not let him buy it. The next week or so the mask was stolen. The tiger went missing for many years. The tigers name was Zois. A few months later the boy was found by a monkey named Graham helped the tiger out of the pit. the tiger was full of ashes and glass all over. Then Graham got to be an Alpha because he helped the tiger. The tiger sadly never became a alpha. Sooner or later the mask was found in the fire pit. They tried to get it out but they couldn't it was stuck. Then the phantoms came out of the pit and destroyed part of the statue (as it is on the ground next to the pit) and the phantoms made it be more noticeable. Then later on the land was called " The Lost Temple Of Zois" but the tiger was never found
The end
I hope you liked it .

Here I go again,
ReplyDeleteOn a rainy day much like this one news broke out that Amelia spotted a pack of phantoms heading towards jamaa.Back then Zios's statue was still standing tall,strong and beautiful.Amelia was new in jamaa and was on guard that night.Liza had told her about zios and how Mira and he created jamaa.The statue was all Amelia knew of zios.Greely and peck grabbed the magic spheres hidden all over jamaa.they were prepared when the phantoms came,they threw spheres but only a few phantoms fell.the phantoms had one thing in mind,to erase all traces of zios.they went and destroyed the statue.Amelia was heartbroken.this was all she knew of zios.some phantoms still live there as an evil reminder.when news of the statue broke out in the morning,Mira was also heartbroken.this too was all she knew of zios. There was nothing they could do.Zios was truly gone.

and i'm really thankful you have monday mysteries snowy :D they really help me in writing XP i have a creative writing class, so this is good practice and inspiration and fun XD
ReplyDeleteNice Arctic Wolf outfit. I'm getting one for Xmas. :D
ReplyDelete(I have to post the story in parts since I wrote over 4,096 characters.)
ReplyDeleteZios was a legend that no shaman or jammer could ever forget. He was, at first, a golden mask made from a collision of matter and anti-matter, an explosion worthy of a fight between the devil and an angel. It was a light so bright that destroyed every speck of matter for light-years, leaving an empty universe except for one beautifully created gold mask beaming with creativity, imagination and goodness. This being named Zios created many planets, solar systems, suns, and stars. Some bad things he was forced to create, such as black holes so the universe could be balanced with the Devil's(black hole) and Angel's(sun) hold.
Although, the one flawless, perfect world he made was called Jamaa. Mira, a great gray heron that he created helped him create Jamaa. The land was beautiful, full of many biomes such as mountains, oceans/seas/lakes/rivers, valleys, canyons, beaches, forests and deserts. There where living things such as plants and animals. After creating the land and it's inhabitants, he decided to give himself a body so he could interact with the beings in Jamaa. Zios chose to make himself a majestic Chinese dragon, with feathery scales and a long golden body. He even gave himself a head which portrayed his wiseness. For the first time ever, he breathed, smelled, tasted and heard and fulled enjoyed the universe he made. Yet, he had never thought of how he was created, and if he had perhaps he would have never died.
DeleteIn a way, no one or no thing killed him. It was not anything he or Mira created, but it was something that had existed before the time of Zios. It was none other then what created him that killed him... matter and anti-matter....
One fateful day, Zios was flying through his favorite creation of Jamaa: the jungle. Today, he sensed something different. In a usually empty clearing, there was a beautiful golden temple. He heard the flap of feathers and turned around to see the beautiful gray heron, Mira.
Delete"What is this?"Zios questioned, his dragon tail motioning towards the majestic temple.
"It is your temple. I knew that this is your favorite place in Jamaa, and I wanted to create a temple beautiful like you,"Mira said sweetly. "But, I couldn't make anything //as// wonderful, beautiful and enchanting as you."
Zios purred happily, touching the tip of his mask, or being to Mira's beak. Mira touched him back and then he soared to the center of the temple and alighted there. It was a statue of him; not his fake dragon form, but his true mask. That made Zios smile, and light beamed across the statue of gold. Mira alighted beside him and announced,
"There is a secret passage way leading to the real temple. The rest of this is simply for jammers and shamans. Come, and you will see the true beauty." She swooped to behind the statue, spoke a few seemingly jibberish words, and the floor seemed to move, opening up a staircase wide enough to fit both Mira and Zios. They both entered and once Zios saw the inside, he was amazed.
Inside, there where cravings of his entire life. Unlike the craving Greely requested in Coral Canyons, which was simply dull and lifeless - these seemed alive. Seemed was a bad word; it was more like where. He completely ignored the start of the timeline and went to when he created Mira and sighed happily. Mira came up and rested beside him for a long time. Then he turned away to look at the rest of the true temple. The spirit stones of every animal, from mice to dinosaurs where set out and placed carefully in glass cases. There where many other ancient treasures, such as the Shaman's personal creations. Zios also noticed that the temple was set out like a hall, and he floated down to the end. A great sense of foreboding struck him as he looked at the object at the end.
"It's for you. It was a gift from some very kind jammers. They are very artistic; I absolutely loved it and wanted to display it here,"Mira explained.
The object was a golden and silver sculpture with every single shaman and Zios and Mira in the center. It was, as Mira said, beautifully created. From the beginning of the hall, the beginning of everything, he heard a whisper: //anti.... anti... b...w.r.// Zios foolishy disregarded this warning and smiled just for the sake of Mira and the jammers. When the light of his smile shone on the sculpture, he felt like he was being ripped apart. He looked at his beautiful body in panic, and saw his dragon body rapidly dissolving. Now the warning from the start of the timeline was booming in his ears. "Beware of the sculpture! Anti-matter is woven into the design..." Now he knew. Zios was created from an explosion of anti-matter and matter, and his smile's light was made of very high masses of matter.
DeleteBut this time, because the matter was from his smile, and he was the battleground of the Devil and the Angel. He turned to Mira, and saw her standing there alone, tears falling from her eyes. The tears turned into black beings with blue lightning once the salty sorrow touched the golden ground. It happened in a matter of seconds, and Zios echoed through his empty, rapidly disappearing mask,
"Beware."
Epilogue
DeleteThe black beings where later named phantoms after their dark, misty look. The phantoms stole the spirit stones in the temple, ruined the timeline(which set Jamaa into disarray) and destroyed the statue of Zios. The shamans quickly caught the phantoms before they could destroy any more of the temple and sent them running to a nearby volcano with the spirit stones. The shamans, including Greely, never found the true temple.Broken and destroyed, Mira locked her spirit into a statue in Jamaa Township, not to be awoken until the creators of the sculpture righted their selves... but peace was far off from Jamaa now, and such dreams of Mira seemed hopeless. Remember, seemed, not where...
Zios is our sky fahter,he created Mira because he was so lonely,but once the pantoms attacked killed Or Skyfather Zios,Mira was lonely,until she found a friendly panda,wolf,tiger,bunny,and much more animals.They became friend and created a small town named "Jamaa".There they invited animals to stay.Our Skyfather Zios still helps guide us through Jamaa.

ReplyDeleteI think aj should start caring about nonmembers! I mean yeah i understand they have to make money. But does it really hurt to give us a GOOD nonmember animal like a fox or horse? I mean come on! We can't stand penguins or sea animals! Aj i am telling you just give nonmembers a animal with FUR on it! And! Why do we get stupid items & cloths can't we get headresses Or some kind of rare spike? I mean seriously start caring aj.
ReplyDelete-Foxy
It's now that AJ doesn't care about non-members! AJ cares about every single player. And besides, AJ wasn't desined or isn't about rares. Or at least I don't think so. I think it's about friends.
DeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteAs for today's RM, it's okay. I guess I'm not really liking the new items or RM's these days :\. But I might buy it, it's to bad AJHQ didn't bring it out before Day-of-the-phantoms! It would have been a great Koala item in my opinion. :)

-Foxy
(p.s stop thinking i'm mad! i'm just saying the truth!)
Yeah foxy i agree aj does care less about nonmembers, But chill out i understand how you feel i was a nonmember before. What i dislike about aj is about 70% of ppl are rude and un friendly, I think aj should start caring a little more about nm's but sadly they are just like Cp and will never care. That's why i also agree that webkinz cares much more and i don't feel left out or sad when i'm on webkinz.
Delete-Galaxy- :)
HEY SARINA NOCK IT OFF!!
DeleteP.S. you CAN do this AS MANY TIMES AS YOU WANT and EVERY TIME THE RARE IS NON MEMBER.
ReplyDelete~kittycat904
Thanks galaxy! At lest your kind! And understand me! I may come off mean but you would too if u was a nm and i could buy membership but theres no way on earth i'll let aj take a cent of my money if they wanna throw nms in the trash then they can throw me in as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks galaxy 4 understanding!
-Foxy
No probs! I hope aj does give more to nonmembers but like i said they are just like Cp and are money hungry snobs (don't take this the wrong way anyone) But in some ways they are, If you think about it. There are good nonmember rares out there but very few of us can get them. And I just can't stand how rude most ppl are on aj! I been on the first day it started and never found good friends. Thats why i moved to webkinz and i'm rich on there :3
Delete-Galaxy- :)

-Epic Potatos (lol)-
with AJ you just have to find the right people to friend , and I found ( this is just my opinion ) the rarest .. Not beta players but , rare player, are the most rude, or seen to be
DeleteKeep in mind these type player have people bugging / and begging for there items all the time , so I can see why some are the way there are
i think that the stature was of him doing that epic pointing into space pose and it fell after phanoms attacked zios ( i think that the phantom game has something to do with this )
ReplyDeletealso newsflash for everyone, play on the inavtive severs now everyone is scamming by offering a " puma code " for a rare to be SENT so watch out.
~ nya

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blog !! I really praised your art of making a blog .... Pet memorial
ReplyDeleteGuess what Snowy! I MET A SNOW LEOPARD!!! (Sorry for caps). She said she got her gift card at Target for $15.95 plus tax. She traded me some really light blue Mech Angel Wings. They look really good on me but I traded a white Mummy Glove, pink Mech Angel Wings, a "rare" Frankenstein Mask, AND a Golden Phantom Statue. I was looking for those wings for a while, as you can probable tell, LOL!
ReplyDelete-Baron Arcticmoon
P.S. Your blog is AWESOME!!! :)
ReplyDelete-Baron Arcticmoon

ReplyDeleteHi snowyclaw , I know what was in zios`s place! it was a monkey thing from beta!!!
ReplyDelete1.Zios was Jamaa's original creator.
ReplyDelete2.Zios was married to Mira and he was known as the Father of Jamaa
3. The phantoms destroyed Zios and banished him to a broken statue.
4. The phantoms banished him into a statue and broke it and what did it used to look like?
5. His statue looked liked a heron with an ancient god's face. The face had a crown on it with three jewels, the amethyst, the opal, and the sapphire.
