The Value of Art

Unrevealed Art

Satoshi turned and saw his unfinished drawing stand behind him, A dragon with a missing wing, missing scales, and a thin tail. Satoshi was confused, scared, and curious all at the same time he stood there frozen like ice for approximately three minutes, he finally spoke "H-H-How a-are you r-real and living?!" The dragon did not respond, it just stood there staring at him "Go back!" The dragon began to back up "Huh?" "Uh, come forward!" the dragon came closer to Satoshi, "It listens to me?!" Satoshi walked over to the paper on the ground and picked it up cautiously, "How did you get off of this paper, and here?" He threw the paper back on the ground as it floated onto the dragon's foot, almost as soon as it made contact with the dragon's foot, part of the foot was gone. Satoshi looked over to the paper and noticed part of the dragon's foot was missing, he picked up the paper and turned it around, the part of the dragon's foot that was removed, was drawn on the paper "Interesting.." Satoshi began to RUB the dragon with the paper, erasing it. "That was super strange...How did it even get off of the paper and come to life? It couldn't have been the paper, I drew on a paper exactly like that yesterday and my drawing didn't remove itself from the paper." Satoshi began to think, he looked around the area that the paper fell on to see if anything on the ground could have caused the dragon to come to life, but then he stood and think. "It only has to be....The pen..." Satoshi picked up the pen and analyzed it, "It looks like a normal multi-coloured pen, just a bit beaten up..Maybe there is a reason this is a family heirloom, why would something as simple as a pen be something passed down from generation to generation, guess my family has a lot of secrets they've kept to themselves." Satoshi wanted to test out his theory, to see if the pen really can bring drawings to life. He grabbed another paper and sat at his desk starting to draw an apple, he watched the drawing for a few seconds. "Nothing's happening...Maybe I have to swipe the paper off my desk like I did last time." Satoshi swiped the paper off of his desk and turned around in his seat waiting for an apple to appear, but it didn't. "Maybe I was wrong? This pen is probably the pen of the first artist in the family or something, that's why it's a family heirloom. But how did that dragon appear? Maybe I should talk to Aiko about this.." Satoshi walked down the street to Aiko's house carrying the apple drawing and rang the doorbell as he arrived. "One moment!" Aiko shouted seemingly from her room. The door then opened in front of Satoshi as he was greeted by Aiko, "Hey!" She said, "I have to talk to you about something." Satoshi said, "Come inside.." She replied. Satoshi walked inside and they both sat on the couch in her living room. "So what's up?" She said to him, "Something really Bizarre happened today, and I didn't go on an adventure..", "Go on.." She said. "I couldn't find the drawing I made yesterday so I had to do it over this morning, I used the pen my dad gave me and when I first started drawing it looked horrible because I was rushing, so I got frustrated and swiped it off of my desk, but then I saw a shadow form behind me when I turned around...It was the same dragon I drew." "That sounds very bizarre." She said. "I'm not crazy, It actually happened." He said, "I believe you..What's that in your hand?" She replied, "Thanks, and this is an apple I drew, I thought it was the pen I was using that made the drawing come to life but I guess I was wrong." He said to her, "That looks really nice! Maybe you can send that in for the contest." She said, "You really think I can send this in?" Satoshi said to her as an apple appeared on top of the  paper, Aiko grabbed it and examined it. "Where did this come from?" She said, "It's just like the dragon I drew, it became real. Maybe it really is the pen." He replied, "Maybe there's some sort of trigger word to make it become real. Try drawing something else and see if any of the words you used in that sentence triggers it." Satoshi began to draw a Peach, when he finished drawing he went through the words he used in that previous sentence. "You!" Nothing happened "Really!" Nothing happened "Think!" Nothing happened "I" nothing happened, "Can!" Nothing happened, "Send!" The peach appeared on the paper. "That's it!" Aiko said, "The trigger word is send!" "This changes everything..." Satoshi said...
