“Bobo the Warrior and the Creation of Dominique.”

Once long ago, somewhere in the middle of the pacific ocean, lived a group of people that were thrown into exile from the mighty kingdom of Camelot. The creation of the universe had happened many of years before their birth, and they believe in the gods of the British isles. Noone knows why these individuals were exiled, but we do know that when they were, their mother goddess of earth, Eriu, was so heartbroken that she created a goddess so that she could help these people deal with each emotion they felt.

In order to do this, Eriu needed the assistance of a mortal. She called upon the great warrior Bobo from Camelot to help. Now Bobo was completely dedicated to Camelot and knew that in order to assist Eriu, he would too have to be exiled–this broke his delicate heart. Eriu told Bobo that she would smile on him all of his days, and that she would give him a companion to help him on his journey. She then created a monstrous whale that was both fearless in nature, and hopelessly devoted to Bobo’s success.

As Bobo prepared for his endless departure from Camelot, he killed one of the king’s sacred sheep in order to sacrifice it to Eriu. He was immediately caught and exiled from this great land and so this goddess creation story begins.

The first task of Bobo was to seek out Piere, the most talented magician in all the land. Piere, who had already been instructed by Eriu to help, was busy making the potion of entrapment when Bobo and his fearless whale arrived. This potion of entrapment was used to turn human emotion into a solid form, and it’s use as well as it’s ingredients were forbidden to ordinary humans. The penalty for anyone to stir up this potion was certain death. As soon as Piere finished making his potion, Eriu appeared before him. She told him that because he had chosen to helped her on this special mission, his life would be saved; she then waved her golden fingers in front of him so that he would forget the ingredients of this most important elixir. Eriu then gave the instructions of how to entrap emotions by using Piere as Bobo’s first contributor.

And so it came to pass that Bobo had entrapped the first of the many human emotions: confusion. As Piere wondered why the last few hours of his life had turned into a black void, Bobo held the potion over his heart and immediately the potion bubbled over. Once Bobo knew that the emotion of confusion was contained within a small glass bottle, he corked it, put it into his pouch and made his way to the temple of Eriu to await further instruction.

Once Bobo reached the temple, Eriu appeared before him and told him to seek out the broken hearted queen of Camelot. Lady Guenivere would be waiting for him just outside of Camelot. For a token of her help, Eriu promised that she would smile on her, too, for the rest of her living days.

And so it came to pass that Bobo had entrapped the second of many human emotions: agony. As Guenivere sat under a mighty oak tree weeping over her two lovers, Bobo held the potion over her heart and immediately the potion bubbled over. Once Bobo knew that the emotion of agony was contained within a small glass bottle, he corked it, put it into his pouch and made his way to the temple of Eriu to await further instruction.

Once again, Eriu appeared before him and told him to seek out the mother of a fallen warrior for she would bring him the emotion of depression. Since Bobo knew of a young maiden who had just been widowed, he opted to go to her instead. Bobo climbed on top of his mighty whale and made his way to the maiden’s swampy hidden house. What Bobo didn’t know is that anger had now replaced the depression in this maiden’s heart and so he ended up trapping an uninvited emotion for the mother goddess Eriu.

And so it came to pass that Bobo had entrapped the third of many human emotions: anger. As the young maiden lay sleeping, Bobo held the potion over her heart and immediately the potion bubbled over. Once Bobo thought that the emotion of depression was contained within a small glass bottle, he corked it, put it into his pouch and made his way to the temple of Eriu to await further instruction.

Unknowing of Bobo’s mistake, she appeared before him and told him that his final emotion to capture was that of heartache. He would have to search the land of the sea-creatures to find a young mermaid outcast who’s heart ached because she too had been thrown into exile. What she didn’t tell Bobo is that he would have to get to her by swimming through her guardians of sharks.

Riding the fearless whale, Bobo came upon these vicious sharks. The whale, which had been named Steller by Bobo, swam hard and fast through these sharks. Half way through, a shark fatally bit Stellar in the stomach, and Bobo the great warrior fell with loneliness because of the loss of his mighty friend. Knowing that his heart was filled with depression, he decided to bottle his own emotion up so that when he saw Eriu, she could make this emotion obsolete. Immediately, Bobo noticed the difference in appearance between the original bottle of “depression” and his own. Bobo knew that he had made a mistake and so held onto both so that the mother goddess could distinguish between the two.

And so it came to pass that Bobo had entr
