Jack Poe in the Kingdom of Dreams

Once upon a time, in a faraway continent, there existed an enchanted land known as the Forest of Dreams, and in that place, there lived a young child named Jack Nathan Poe.

"This will be fun!" Jack declared at the very top of the largest sequoia tree in the forest, which stood nearly two hundred meters tall. Jack smiled as he prepared himself and leaped from the massive tree. The boy fell freely for several seconds and felt the wind going through his hair. He grabbed onto one of the vines of the tree, using it to swing around. Jack screamed like Tarzan. He let go of the vine and flipped through the air, perfectly landing onto the branches of a smaller tree. The kid leaped from branch to branch like a monkey, back flipping and landing on top of a large rock. "Talk about a leap of fate!"

Jack laughed. He back flipped off the boulder and landed on the dirty ground. Jack cleaned his dirty hands on his green jumpsuit. That jump had been good for a rush of adrenaline, but he should probably get going. The Ancient Master had asked the boy to pay him a visit, something he didn't do very often, so it must have been important. Jack heard the sound of footsteps, followed by growling. He turned to see a massive leopard, as big as a car, looking down upon him with fury.

"Mister Spots! I was wondering when you would show up!" Jack greeted with a smile as he waved at the leopard. The animal roared and dashed towards the boy, who easily leaped over the leopard and landed on its head, sitting on it with his legs crossed. "You've gotten faster since last time. Have you been working out?"

The leopard roared in anger as it pushed Jak into the air with its head and tried to bite him, only for Jack to casually avoid it by flipping and landing on his feet. The animal roared in fury as it dashed towards the boy, who took a combat stance.

"Roshambo..." Jack commented as his eyes showed confidence. He closed his fist and punched the leopard right on the face. A sonic boom expanded out of his fist, as the leopard flew right through several trees. "Rock!"

The leopard shook its head and got back up, while Jack laughed.

"Don't worry, I went easy with that one." Jack explained with a shrug. "Didn't want to hurt you too much."

The leopard roared and began running towards Jack, only for the boy to get into his combat stance.

"Roshambo..." Jack whispered. He smiled and swung his open hand in the air. The high velocity of his hand created a large gust of wind, which struck the leopard and sent him flying several meters onto the side of the large rock where Jack had previously landed. "Paper!"

The leopard once again roared as he got back up and immediately dashed towards the boy, who easily avoided the animal with a causal side step, grabbing the leopard by the tail and spinning it around like a ragdoll. Jack smiled for a few moments and slammed the leopard onto that same large rock. The leopard shook its head and looked up, to see Jack had once again taken a combat stance.

"Roshambo..." Jack declared, as he held his middle and index finger up, raising his hand and swinging it downwards onto the leopard. The animal leaped out of the way right at the last second. Jack's fingers struck the rock and sliced right through it like a sharp blade, cutting the large stone perfectly in the middle as it fell onto two pieces. "Scissors!"

The leopard stared at Jack in terror, as the boy looked down upon the animal with a serious expression.

"Just kidding." Jack declared as he smiled and scratched the back of his head. "I only did that because I knew you'd dodge it. Even if you hadn't been able to dodge the scissors, I'd just have stopped the attack before it hit you."

The leopard screamed in fear, getting up and running away from the boy.

"Same time next week, okay?" Jack yelled as he waved the leopard goodbye. Jack laughed for a few moments, when his eyes widened in shock. "I'm gonna be later to meet the Master!"
