By any other name would smell as sweet.

Character Bio
Meo is a hybrid, half pixie half clown, is a freelance artist. She loved expressing art around her as she liked the attention she gets. It makes her very happy. She is always smiling and finding ways to solve problems she faced. She is always in a good mood and enjoys peace. When everything is at peace, she gets motivated as fresh ideas entered her mind.


Storyline

One sunny day under the clouds, Meo was strolled into a new town. She was dragging her paintbrush on the ground all the way from the previous town, giving the ground a refreshing colour. She entered deeper into town where everyone was hard at work. No one was having any fun, even the kids were piling up scrapped metals that were blocking the way.

She noticed the town full of smokes and has dehydrating trees and plants. Meo smiled and held up her paint brush and brushed it on the rocks. Out splashed some fresh paint. Everyone turned. Some noticed out of curiosity and irritation. Meo started expressing her arts on concretes and trees, houses and walls. She danced and danced around everyone. Until the last step of her danced, she stopped to give a gentle bow.

She looked up slightly and to her disappointment, everyone got back to work. Some kids grumbled at her works and took out some metal and rocks and started scrubbing on her paintings. She smiled and carried on her way.

She noticed a crowd along the way looking down at some mine from the edge of a hill. She went to join in only that she realised that she was actually watching life destruction of plain green fields. The men were planting huge bombs into pit holes, bombing places to make new buildings.

She was speechless and stood rooted to the ground in horror. Just as she witnessed another bomb planting, the ground shook. The ground tremble so hard that everything started to shake and fall apart. A deep crack spread out from the hills to the ground beneath where the pit holes were.

The earthquake was so intense that the mountains started cracking up. Suddenly a huge rough stone-like monster shot up into the skies and started roaring. Meo was pushed around in the crowd who were escaping from the scene. She collapses down at the side of the walls so that she won’t get run over by huge men. The monster in its struggle scratched deeper holes for it to crawl out. While crawling out halfway, the monster noticed the crushed dead tress done by those men. Suddenly some bombs were activated and bombed the area close to the monster. It rages in fury and started to roar and roar in anger. Meo saw what it reacted to and realised she had the ability to change the plants colours by painting the trees back to life!

She then decided she have to stop the monster from coming out and turning the whole town into an empty space. She stood up and raced to the hills. She got off from the edge and slides down to the grounds below. She grabbed her brush and started swinging up paints and water. She changed the colours in a flash. As she was working on colouring, a huge shade covered the ground. She paused for a moment and turned to look behind. Her eye widened.

The monster was falling. She ran for dear life. It crashed down to the ground and activated more bombs. Meo was devastated at the sight. She pulled up her paintbrush and realised that it was broken due to the fall. She held the brush close to her chest and stared to weep. She felt something weird and looked up; forcing herself to say there is something to be done. There has to be a way. A light flashed from her hands. In shock, she looked down at her brush which it transformed. It was glowing brightly. She looked up and smiled sharply. She then ran up to the bombs and sprinkled a special antidote, transparent glitter paint. The bombs vanished immediately.

The monster regained it posture and stared at Meo. It looked sadly at the dead trees and land where it was once used to be so healthy. Meo then threw her brush in the air and started dancing, leaving all the work to her brushes’ glittering power. The monster was enlightened by the performance and special abilities that it took a liking to her. It manages to stand up and twist itself into a gentle tornado round Meo’s paint brush. Suddenly a huge light burst into the skies. Transforming the dead land into a more beautiful healthy garden full of fruits and lake and a soft yellowish green meadow.

The dragon was nowhere in sight. The men and women and kids from the town come out and rejoice.

The news is from Japan due to an earthquake there.

Reflection
Earthquakes often occurs in certain areas of Japan, that is why their houses is always made of light materials. Everyone is finding a solution for it but cannot find an answer. The only way to avoid the earthquake is to move away or live under light materials.

Using light materials is because when an earthquake occurs, the houses collapse, the people will be able to lift up the fallen objects and run to safety. The houses that requires light materials are cheap and able to be easily rebuilt.
