00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: Consul to paper sketching you art on this page. What

2
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: kind of journey will this draw and bring to life?

Speaker 3: comment on to It's imagination time.

6
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 4: And Curiosity Cold Curiosity Came. It's a magical place. Come road,

7
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 4: Welcome to Adventures of Curiosity cal.

8
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: Hello and welcome. It's me Ella the Curious. Whether you're

9
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: joining us for the first time or coming back for

10
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 2: more adventures, I'm thrilled to have you here. Welcome back

11
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 2: to the Adventures of Curiosity Cove, where each episode we

12
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: dive into one of my own Ella of the Curious

13
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 2: adventures or listen to an original story right here in

14
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 2: my cozy tree hose. Picture this. We're nestled among the trees,

15
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: surrounded by comfy bean bags, piles of fluffy pillows, and yes,

16
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 2: my favorite stuffy roe is here too. It's like we

17
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: have stepped into a peaceful world, almost as if my

18
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: mom used her relaxing dream spray to set the tone.

19
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: It's just peace and quiet, perfect for story time. So

20
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: what are we waiting for? Let's dive into the tale

21
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: called Light, a story about a brave girl who gathers

22
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: friends to save their village. Here is light.

23
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 5: This is a story about the light that lives inside

24
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 5: all of us. This light is not to be taken lightly.

25
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 5: This light is alive. It has moods. It has hunger,

26
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 5: It gets happy, sad, giddy, angry, and it gets brave.

27
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 5: And yes, it can be dimmed. Darkness is an opposing

28
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 5: force that wants nothing more than the comfort of its

29
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 5: own darkness. Now, picture a black ball. Add two stick

30
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 5: arms with three stick fingers. Picture that little black ball

31
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 5: with stick arms and stick fingers with a mohawk. That

32
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 5: is any neon color. It could be green, blue, red, amber,

33
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 5: or any other color. That's what these little black orbs

34
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 5: look like. They have equal and opposing feelings. Don't be

35
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 5: scared about this. This is not something that should worry you.

36
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 5: If I put it quite simply, the light wants to

37
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: shine brighter. In turn, it makes the world a happy place.

38
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 5: And on the contrary, darkness was born. It strives in

39
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 5: the darkness. It's quite happy there. So it wants complete

40
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 5: darkness and extinguishing the light helps it with its mission.

41
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 5: How does this happen, Well, it's not just full dark. First,

42
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 5: the darkness has to lure a light orb into its darkness,

43
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 5: usually through curiosity. The dark orbs never use force. They're cunning.

44
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 5: They try to outwhit you. They try to trick you

45
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 5: with manipulation and lies. If a light orb is coerced

46
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 5: and lured into the darkness and remains dim and amongst

47
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 5: the dark orbs for too long, slowly, its light inside

48
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 5: fades and dies forever. Then it becomes a dark orb,

49
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 5: never to see its own light again. The only color

50
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 5: left from the light orb will be in its mohawk.

51
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 5: For instance, a blue light orb that has lost its

52
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 5: light will have a blue mohawk. I'm sad to say

53
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 5: there's never been a darkness orb that has found its light.

54
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 5: Light orbs can become dark orbs, but dark orbs can

55
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 5: never become light orbs, or at least that's what history

56
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:21,679
Speaker 5: has shown.

57
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 6: I hope you understand, because we're moving on.

58
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 5: Our story starts with a brave little girl named Scarlet.

59
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 5: Scarlet is a light orb and she burns bright with

60
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 5: you guessed it a scarlet light. From a young age,

61
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 5: she was afraid of everything. She was afraid of falling,

62
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 5: she was afraid of a cut, she was afraid of

63
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 5: being afraid, and most.

64
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,960
Speaker 2: Of all, she was afraid of the dark.

65
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 5: I did say she was brave, but she didn't start

66
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 5: out that way. She became brave. One thing I forgot

67
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 5: to mention is that light orbs live in tribes. An

68
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 5: Indi visual orb can glow from dim to ultra bright. However,

69
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 5: in a tribe they glow as one bright orb. Keep

70
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 5: in mind, glowing dim is not a bad thing, nor

71
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 5: does it indicate a lesser orb. They're just calmer and

72
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 5: they're happier this way. If a dim orb starts to

73
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 5: shine bright, that may mean they're overstimulated and need to

74
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 5: find a warm, calmplace to breathe and refocus. The opposite

75
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 5: is true for an ultra bright orb. They're constantly excited

76
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 5: and energetic, but when they.

77
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 6: Dim, it may mean they're sad.

78
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 5: Or worried or scared. The tribe shares everything with each other.

79
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 5: Their motto is pain shared is cut in half, and

80
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,799
Speaker 5: happiness shared is doubled. What does that mean? It means

81
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 5: whenever someone is feeling down, they'll find a bright orb

82
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 5: and share their pain or their sadness with that orb.

83
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 5: Since that orbit it so bright and powerful, they'll absorb

84
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 5: that pain and sadness, and it's immediately extinguished. When someone

85
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,120
Speaker 5: is excited or happy, they'll share it with either another

86
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 5: bright orb or a less bright orbit, and they'll both

87
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 5: glow with excitement. The tribe is ruled by an elder,

88
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 5: and this particular tribe is ruled by Scarlet's great grandmother, Emorensia.

89
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 5: Queen Emorensia is a valiant woman, level headed, fair, just,

90
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 5: and stoic. She knows the right way to handle things

91
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 5: as they arise, and she always says the right thing

92
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 5: at the right time. However, her reign is coming to

93
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 5: an end. She's preparing to pass on into the next

94
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 5: light realm. In other words, she's dying of old age.

95
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 5: Do not be sad. She has led a wonderful life

96
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 5: and served her people well. The tribe, however, is heartbroken.

97
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 5: Most people are scrambling because they don't know who the

98
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,159
Speaker 5: next ruler will be and how they'll ever replace her.

99
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 5: This has dimmed the tribe's collective light. Their tribe is

100
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:07,800
Speaker 5: becoming more dim, which puts all of the orbs at

101
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: risk of the outside dark orbs manipulating some tribe members

102
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 5: to go astray. Three light members have gone missing already,

103
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 5: and the gossip is starting to spread throughout the city.

104
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 5: Scarlet's mother, Pantera, is to take over.

105
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 2: I just can't understand how our light is dimming. There

106
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 2: should be an even transfer of light from your grandmother

107
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: to me. Our tribe should not be feeling this.

108
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 6: Scarlet doesn't know what to say.

109
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 5: She's never seen her mother or her grandmother in a

110
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 5: state of not knowing. They always had the answer, So

111
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 5: she did what any strong kid would do. She thought

112
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 5: that she had to take this into her own hands.

113
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 5: She ran to her room, started packing things into a bag,

114
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 5: returned back to her mother, and told her mother how

115
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 5: she loved her.

116
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 2: Where do you think you're going, I'm going to save

117
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: our tribe. Oh no, you are, no Scarlet Rose Electra.

118
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 5: But before Pantera could finish Scarlet's full name, Scarlet clashed

119
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 5: and was gone. Because light orbs can travel with the

120
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: speed of light, they can flicker and end up somewhere else.

121
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 5: Scarlet ended up at her friend Bowen's house. Bowen is

122
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 5: a bright burgundy color, which is super rare, and he's

123
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 5: one of the coolest guys.

124
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 6: She knows.

125
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 5: He's always in a great mood, but when he's sad,

126
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 5: you can barely see him, but not today. Bowen is

127
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 5: rocking out on his guitar when Scarlet shows up.

128
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: Sub scar Hey, Bo, listen, we need to go see

129
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: the oracle.

130
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,520
Speaker 6: Oh what you say now? Uh ha. For a minute

131
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 6: I thought you said oracle. But no, no, no, no, no,

132
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 6: you must have said floricle.

133
00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: What's a florical?

134
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 5: Well I was gonna ask you maybe like a cool

135
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 5: wave saying floral garden.

136
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 2: No, Bowen, I'm serious. We need to go see the oracle,

137
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 2: and we need to go now.

138
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 5: You know, nobody we know has actually seen the oracle.

139
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 5: I know, and the oracle is said to be in

140
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: a dark cave outside of our village.

141
00:08:58,640 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that's what I hear.

142
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 6: I just and he or she is not very warm

143
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 6: and or welcoming.

144
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: Owen, will you stop? I know, geez, know it all.

145
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 2: I'm not augh. Well this time I know something, and

146
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 2: you don't have a choice. We're going to see the

147
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: oracle to save our village.

148
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 6: To save our village. Do you know something I don't know? Wait?

149
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 6: Just you and I.

150
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 2: Yes, Bo, nobody can know we're gone.

151
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 6: Uh.

152
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 5: I think we should probably bring the quad squad.

153
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 6: Maybe safety in numbers.

154
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 2: Okay, good call, We'll get them on the way, get

155
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 2: your stuff and let's go. Ready, great, let's go.

156
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,680
Speaker 5: Scarlett and Bowen stood at the edge of their village

157
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 5: along with two other friends. They picked up Joan and Gil.

158
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,079
Speaker 5: Gil is a bit of a gentle giant. Nobody's ever

159
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 5: seen him get mad.

160
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 6: Nor do they want to.

161
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 5: Joan is the quiet one, but when she does speak

162
00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 5: it's thought provoking.

163
00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 6: So boos up, scar What are we doing here?

164
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 5: You didn't tell them, oh, deplorable Relax.

165
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 2: Bo Okay, here's the deal. My grandmother is about to

166
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: pass over to the other side. As you know, my

167
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: mom is to take over, but for some reason, the

168
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 2: transfer is not going as planned.

169
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 6: Oh, our village is dying.

170
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: What bough, It's not dying. Our light is just dimming,

171
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,000
Speaker 2: and as you know, that makes us more susceptible to

172
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: the darkness.

173
00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 6: No, my dad told me about the three members who

174
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 6: went missing.

175
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: Three people went missing.

176
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 5: Bowen's light made a blast that lit up the outer

177
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 5: edges of the village.

178
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 2: Impressive.

179
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 6: Bo oh, whoa, I didn't know I could do that.

180
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 2: Well now you know.

181
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 6: So what do we need to do, Scar, We're.

182
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 2: Going to see the oracle.

183
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 5: They all pause and stare at Joan her turquoise purple

184
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 5: light is radiating.

185
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: Do I have something on my face?

186
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 6: You're radiating.

187
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 5: Joan looks at herself in real life, she's beaming, and

188
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 5: the moment she realizes, her light dims and she becomes shy.

189
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 5: The group continues to stare, waiting for an explanation.

190
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: My grandmother used to tell us bedtime stories about the Oracle.

191
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 2: She helped our family find their true light. We lost

192
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 2: it somewhere along our lineage, and the Oracle took us

193
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 2: through a journey to see our lineage's lifeline. We were

194
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 2: able to repair the broken line.

195
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,319
Speaker 6: Joan puts her hand over her heart.

196
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 2: It's inside here. I can see it, I can feel it.

197
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: I've dreamt my entire life of one day meeting the Oracle.

198
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 2: But it's too dangerous to go alone.

199
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 5: Joan looks at her friends and they're all radiating as well.

200
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 2: WHOA what you're all radiating? Now? Joy shared is doubled.

201
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 2: Let's take this light into the dark and find the Oracle.

202
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 5: So they all trekked into the darkness. They walked for hours,

203
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 5: feeling energized and excited by the journey into the dark.

204
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 5: Neither one of them have ever been in the darkness.

205
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 5: Overcoming their fear was so exhilarating and uplifting. A while passed,

206
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 5: and they each started to have their doubts, which dimmed

207
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 5: their collective lights. Their lights seemed to flicker until they

208
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 5: all had a dim light shared amongst all of them.

209
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 5: Scarlett noticed this and said to the group, we've.

210
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: Been traveling for a while. I think now is a

211
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: great time to rest and recharge.

212
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 5: They all agreed. With all of the peaceful noises, they

213
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 5: were soon all fast asleep. While they were all sleeping,

214
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 5: Bowen heard as he opened his eyes, but nothing was there.

215
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: He started to get really scared, especially when he looked

216
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 5: around to see his friends were fast asleep.

217
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 6: Then he heard it's.

218
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 2: Okay, there's nothing to be scared of. I'm sure you're

219
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 2: having a really hard time on this journey.

220
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 5: Bowen wasn't sure what the dew he spoke back to

221
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: the darkness.

222
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's tough.

223
00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: I know. This wasn't your idea, wasn't.

224
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 6: No, it wasn't.

225
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: It's okay to be mad at your friends for pulling

226
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 2: you into this.

227
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 5: Bowen didn't say anything. He didn't feel mad or resentful

228
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 5: towards Scarlet. In fact, he was happy to have such

229
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 5: a brave friend. But now he started second guessing his decision.

230
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 2: You know, you could come hang with us. We'll let

231
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: you get as angry as you want.

232
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 6: But I'm not really angry.

233
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 2: Well, you should be. Your friends expect way too much

234
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,160
Speaker 2: out of you when you're so little. As a matter

235
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: a fact, so do your parents. Do you know who

236
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: wouldn't expect anything out of you us?

237
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 5: Just then, the Darkworbs stepped closer and Bowen could see

238
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 5: its glowing green eyes, its neon green ohawk that runs

239
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 5: from the top of its head and down its back.

240
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 5: But I've heard so many scary stories about you guys

241
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 5: help people go missing?

242
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 2: Bowing, bowing. We don't take people. They come to us

243
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: because life is so hard and you're not called to

244
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:28,440
Speaker 2: do all of this work. It's much easier here with us.

245
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 6: How do you know my name? Just then, Scarlet starts

246
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 6: to stir and wake up.

247
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: Think about it, bowing, I'll be back.

248
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 6: The Dark Ord disappears.

249
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 2: Oh who are you talking to?

250
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 6: Huh uh?

251
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 5: No one, I mean, I don't know, must have been sleep.

252
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: Talking, silly, Wake up you two, Time to go meet

253
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: our oracle.

254
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 5: Gil is smiling in his sleep and glowing so oh

255
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 5: bright as Bowen nudges him, Mommy stuffed tickling me.

256
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 6: Then Gil wakes up.

257
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 5: And realizes he just said that out loud, and his

258
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 5: light dims a bit. Out of embarrassment, Bowen puts his

259
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 5: arm around Gil. Hey, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

260
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 5: I miss my mom too, Yeah, my dad. Bowen's light

261
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 5: brightens a bit, and SODA's gills. Joan's light seems a

262
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 5: bit dim, but that happens when most light orbs are

263
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 5: just waking up. What the group doesn't know is that

264
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 5: Joan had an awful dream that the oracle rejected her

265
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 5: and she walked home alone. In her dream, she was

266
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 5: approached by a dark orb. The dark orb made her

267
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 5: believe that nobody cared about her, except the dark Orb.

268
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 5: What Joan doesn't know is that the dark orbs can

269
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 5: also sneak into your dreams. They lure you in by

270
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 5: playing on your fears, insecurities, and doubts. Joan doesn't share

271
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 5: her dream with the group. As they trek on, she

272
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: starts to resent the group for not even asking her

273
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 5: why she seems dim. She started to believe that the

274
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 5: dark Orb was right. Nobody does care about her. When

275
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 5: the group stopped for another break, Joan ventured off alone

276
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: to look at some glowing plants. Here, she was visited

277
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:16,000
Speaker 5: by a dark orb.

278
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: I was right, that was me and your dream. I

279
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 2: was trying to warn you that they don't care about you.

280
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 2: Why so sad, Joan? I just I don't know. Maybe

281
00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 2: you're right. Nobody cares about me, am I nobody?

282
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 6: Joan is confused.

283
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 2: You said nobody cares about you, and I care about you.

284
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 2: So are you calling me a nobody? I don't know.

285
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 2: Why would you care about me. You don't even know me.

286
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: I do know you, Joan. You're just like me, overlooked.

287
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: But you know how special you are, and so do I.

288
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: But they just don't see it. Yeah, I mean I

289
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 2: always felt special, like I'm destined for greater things. That's

290
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: because you are, Joan. Come live with us and we'll

291
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 2: show you.

292
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 5: The dark orb was cut off by the sound of

293
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 5: scarlet Joan.

294
00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: Joan, where are you?

295
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 5: The entire group runs up to Joan as she sits

296
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 5: by the glowing plants.

297
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, Joan, you scared the light out of us.

298
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: We were word sick.

299
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 6: Why were you gone so long? I wasn't gone that long, Joan.

300
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 6: We've been looking for you for over an hour.

301
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 5: Joan feels like she was only gone for a short time.

302
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 5: She doesn't realize that the darkness can steal time from you.

303
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: Sorry, guys, it's okay, Joan. We were just concerned. We

304
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,879
Speaker 2: can't do this without you. Sure you could.

305
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 6: They all looked at her, shocked that she would even

306
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 6: say that. Why would you say that, Joe, You mean

307
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 6: everything to us.

308
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: Oh, I was just kidding.

309
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 5: As they continued to trek, they came to the mouth

310
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 5: of the cave.

311
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 2: This is it. Who wants to go first? You guys,

312
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: go ahead, I'll wait outside. Joan, what's going on? You

313
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,199
Speaker 2: were so excited to meet the oracle? What happened? Nothing?

314
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 2: I just don't want to go in.

315
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 6: Okay, Nope, not gonna let you get away with that.

316
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 6: I know there's something more there.

317
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 2: How do you know?

318
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 5: Gil points to her midsection. You're completely dim, but there's

319
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 5: a little red glowing orb deep down in the middle

320
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 5: of you.

321
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 6: Dead giveaway. You're holding on to something.

322
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: Fine. I had a dream that the oracle rejected me.

323
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 2: Oh no, Joan, I'm so sorry. We believe you. That

324
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: must have been a really tough dream and you guys

325
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: don't care.

326
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 6: Oh, we most certainly do care.

327
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 2: That was part of the dream. Oh I'm so sorry

328
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 2: you had to sit with that all day. I wish

329
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 2: I would have noticed. I was so wrapped up in

330
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: my own self doubt today that I forgot to check

331
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:23,639
Speaker 2: in with you guys.

332
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 6: Why were you self doubting?

333
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 2: Because I led you guys on this journey. I was

334
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 2: afraid we would never find the cave or the oracle

335
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: and we would be swallowed up by the darkness and

336
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 2: it would all be my fault. Well, Scar, you got

337
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:43,760
Speaker 2: us here, so you were worrying in vain. I guess

338
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: we both were.

339
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 5: Joanes starts showing colors of sadness.

340
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 2: What's wrong? I was so worried all day, and I

341
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,679
Speaker 2: was holding on to the worry and protecting it. And

342
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: it took a lot of energy. Now telling you guys,

343
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 2: I feel so relieved, like I could cry and then

344
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 2: sleep for a day.

345
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 6: Oh, group hug.

346
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,880
Speaker 5: They all squeezed together in a big hug, and as

347
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,919
Speaker 5: they did, all of their lights began to shine brighter

348
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 5: and brighter, until they were all beaming.

349
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 6: Who's ready to meet the oracle?

350
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: Me?

351
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 5: They all gathered hands and walked into the cave. As

352
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 5: they walked in, there greeted by a dark orb who

353
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,919
Speaker 5: flies at them whispering, you're not enough, And then another

354
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 5: flies at them from another direction.

355
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 2: They don't care about you, Then another you're.

356
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 6: Not brave enough, and another you're not one.

357
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:41,800
Speaker 2: You're not the one.

358
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 6: I am enough.

359
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 5: From his brave declaration, the others joined in.

360
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 6: I could do anything I put my mind to.

361
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 2: I am love, I am special, and orbs care about me.

362
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 5: The barrage of dark orbs stops, and a beautiful light

363
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,360
Speaker 5: that is blue, pink, green, and purple as glowing from

364
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 5: within the cave. They walk towards it and it begins

365
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 5: to radiate and pulse. Then they hear the most soothing

366
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 5: and captivating voice they have ever heard, say.

367
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:22,399
Speaker 2: You fall are very brave. These dark orbs work for me.

368
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 2: They are to show you what you're up against in life,

369
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 2: and you overcame them. That will not be the last

370
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 2: time they approach you, But now you know how to respond.

371
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:39,760
Speaker 2: Tell me, why have you come to seek me? Our

372
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 2: village is dimming and we need your help. Seasons come

373
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: and go, and so do our feelings. Change is scary.

374
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 2: Change can be a stone thrown into a calm surface,

375
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,639
Speaker 2: causing a ripple. Once those ripples run their course and

376
00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: change has taken place, balance will be restored. The stone

377
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 2: does not ask why it is being thrown into the water,

378
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: nor does it wonder if it's good enough for the water.

379
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: It just accepts its new environment. Your mother is that

380
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 2: stone scarlet.

381
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 6: I don't think I'm good enough.

382
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 2: The dark Orbs would love for you to believe that.

383
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 6: Bowen.

384
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: The feelings the dark Orbs present you evoke a flurry

385
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 2: of difficult feelings. Those feelings have deep attachment to other

386
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 2: negative feelings. All of these feelings steal your time and energy.

387
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 2: Focus on all things good, for they bear fruit and fulfillment.

388
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 2: These negative feelings lead to a dead end, but the

389
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: positive ones last forever. And if you ever feel as

390
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 2: if you're not good enough, just ask your heart. It

391
00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:01,719
Speaker 2: always knows the answer. Oracle. I don't know how to

392
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 2: explain this, but my dear Joan, you are truly special.

393
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 2: You all are. But I speak to you right now, Joan,

394
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 2: you will go on to do great things. I know

395
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 2: you feel the disruption in your lineage. Your grandmother sacrificed

396
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 2: herself for the greater good. She wanted to create a

397
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 2: brighter future by lighting the eternal flame that would wipe

398
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 2: away all darkness, but it came at a cost. She

399
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 2: was consumed by the darkness. However, her daughter lived on

400
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 2: to be a bright orb who gave birth to an

401
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 2: even brighter orb. That's you. Your grandmother may have been

402
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: consumed by the darkness, but your lineage was so strong

403
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 2: that the darkness ended up working for her. Wait didn't

404
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:08,960
Speaker 2: you say the dark orbs work for you? I did.

405
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: You're my grandmother and a proud grandmother. I am my

406
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 2: grandma is the oorker.

407
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 6: Joan is so excited as you can see.

408
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 2: Joan, your light roots are strong, you are special, and

409
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: you are cared about more than you will ever know. Gil.

410
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 6: Yes, ma'am, you are a true giver.

411
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 2: You are there for everyone. There will come a time

412
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 2: in your life where you may not believe this has

413
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: any impact on the world, and it has all the

414
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 2: impact on yourself. But I am here to tell you

415
00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 2: do not lose this gift of selflessness. You are doing

416
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,119
Speaker 2: the true work of the greater good. You may now

417
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 2: to see the impacts you have on those around you,

418
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 2: but I promise you the ripple you produce is much

419
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 2: different from the previous one I spoke about. Your ripple

420
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:15,719
Speaker 2: is felt through generations. This is how powerful your small

421
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: acts of kindness are. Now you all must be exhausted.

422
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:28,200
Speaker 2: Sleep now, for when you awake, you will do glorious things.

423
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 5: The oracle snapped her fingers, and they all fell fast

424
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 5: asleep on one another. When they awoke, they were all

425
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 5: in their homes. Scarlet shared the news with her mother,

426
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 5: which made her weep with relief and a new sense

427
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 5: of pride in her new role. Gil went on to

428
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 5: teach others the true meaning of selflessness. Joan, in her

429
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 5: own right, told people about the words of the oracle.

430
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 5: She never told anyone the oracle was her grandmother. And

431
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:04,199
Speaker 5: Bowen continued to rock out with his guitar because he

432
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 5: realized his music made people happy. The town didn't brighten

433
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 5: up instantly, but it took this small group before to

434
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 5: inspire another group, and that group inspired another group until

435
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 5: the entire village was bright again. Sometimes it's the small

436
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 5: acts that produce large results.

437
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:33,880
Speaker 2: Wow. I love that story so much, I think I'll

438
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 2: take another listen. I loved how each friend was uniquely

439
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 2: helpful in the mission. To save the village and to

440
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 2: help each other. They all found their courage in their

441
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 2: own way. If you loved what you listened to, please
