Deciding Against Demons

Author’s note: This is my piece on Fablehaven. I want you look at the cause and effect in it.

The world is about to be destroyed by demons who escaped by a prison by many different actions. Other actions however save the world. Those actions were made by the heroes. The effects were sometimes extreme but it had worked out in the end.

Some decisions had helped the demons in their cause. One of them was made by a boy named Seth, who was fooled by a demon. The demon had helped out Seth and then befriended him. Seth made a promise that he would heal the demon when he came back from his quest but when he realized that the demon had just wanted him to heal him so he could get away from his prison, it was too late. Because of that the demon had almost destroyed the world. When you are dealing with demons, even the bad decisions can look like it is for the good.

Seth however did not only make foolish choices.  He had made the decision to follow his uncle’s clues which led to him obtaining the most powerful sword ever created. With that power he had helped slay the demons and save the world from destruction.  Only he could have completed that task because he had the power in him. It was his decisions that had the effect on the world, not the sword.

The boy was not the only one who had made life changing differences. The fairy queen had made the decision to lose her home so that the world could be saved. She knew that we wouldn’t be able to defeat all the demons because there were just too many of them. But she made the plan to destroy their leaders so that the lower demons would lose hope and flee to the queen’s kingdom which was now their new prison. Because of that decision the demons had not lain waste to the world but instead were recaptured and put away.

The effects of these decisions were tremendous. There were terrible effects but they were quickly replaced by effects that were quite admirable. That’s what decisions can do. Some can be life-changing but they won’t always be bad.
