Gold, Gold, Gold: Are The 'Gods' Real?

After daring explorer Carl Hitston  travelled to Mexico to see if the mysteries of the Forn Ka Tek Temple were true, his photographers and editors lost track of him when he went to sleep in a cave. Forn Ka Tek is the ancient aztec capital, and people believed  if they discovered plants on the walls the whole city had been cursed by the fire god, Manka. When another citizen’s ivy overgrew when the home owner moved house, it crawled over to the temple which triggered a panic, causing the whole city to evacuate. Nobody has been to the area ever since.

We got in touch after photographer Ace sent in a rescue helicopter to relocate Carl, and then noticed the whole city had been somewhat scorched and reduced to rubble. Had the legends come true?

Well, not in Carl’s opinion, especially  as the temple hadn’t been damaged. But he did notice a name scratched on the left side: MANKA. When he explored inside, the walls strangely were hardly visible because of all the vegetation. Maybe Manka had summoned a great fire?

Deep inside, he told Toby News that he saw a completely different kingdom, which was lifesize and exactly the same, apart from one thing: the walls were entirely made of gold! In fact, the only thing that was stone was a small statue overlooking the village which had the words Anton Myan, Ka Te Saya, Hue For Ikas, Guye Did Rory, Fu Manoe. This is ancient  Mayan for Great Lord Manka, feel our power, we look up to you, just as you do.

Carl believed that this inner-town was a friend of Manka and an enemy of  the outer town, and was the reason why Manka had threatened Forn Ka Tek. he also believes that the fire god hates vegetation, thus creating that legend and fear.

Who knowes if it is just a coincidence? Maybe a few wildfires broke out nearby and reached Forn Ka Tek, or the gods really trashed the aztec capital? The only answer us modern folk have got is that it happened, and that’s that.

Night Of The Pasta: Part Four

The so-called ice-cream van got out of its parking space and drove off after Thomas and Dawn at high speed. In case you didn’t read last week’s story, Dawn is Tom’s newly adopted dog that helped him get out of a flaming pit. One of the spy pastas pulled a mini-megaphone out of the roof and called into it. “You can’t hide forever!” she said. Suddenly, Agent Dicker spotted something strange. “The rockets already left!” he exclaimed, but before he could close his mouth, the road in front of him started to give way. Steam poured out whilst a shiny machine flew upwards slowly. “The rocket!” Dicker shouted. “Launching in 3... 2... 1... BLAST OFF!” came the announcer, and the force of the boosters pushed the spy car backwards. Meanwhile, Thomas and Dawn were confused. “There’s no signs!” moaned Tom, and looked at Dawn for help. She barked in confusion, but ran off into the distance. “Dawn! Dawn! Dawn the Dog! Wait up!” Thomas almost caught up, but lost Dawn. “Great. Curse you, Martians!” he e...
