Encountering a Wizard

     The story I've been elaborating on is called "Encountering A Wizard" by Malik Padellan. Its about a knight who doesn't follow the orders to slaughter the wizard kingdom and decides to help one of them escape onto another land, free from the terrible acts of the king and his army. This story is not only very detailed and well developed, but there is a theme with it.
     What is racism? Racism is the thought of being superior than another because of their cultures, customs, and their way of life. The main character, Cypher Bloodstream, and everyone in his kingdom are known as Bloodstreams. Bloodstreams ablilities allow them to cure any physical or chemical disturbance to their body which basically means the only way they can die is by incapicitating their heads or by old age. All Bloodstreams are in perfect shape and never have a problem dealing with things like not having enough fiber. Valkar, the king of the kingdom of Bloodstreams for over 300 years, thinks of the Bloodstreams to be the most superior to all other kingdom people and calls the Bloodstreams angels. Since he thinks of them being angels, he wants everywhere to be populated with angels so the land could be a "holy land." Valkar sees everyone else as demons corrupting heaven. He doesn't like the wizard kingdom because he thinks that having original abilities is better than getting powers from someone in the family or by reading spell books. He doesn't like ogres not because they are evil and dangerous, because they are actually nice and friendly, but because they're green.
     The thing that supports racism the most is the thought that being different is bad. "Since you're not the same as me, you have a less valuable way of life and because of that, I'm the one in charge," is one of the things that many racist keep in their head. I think that racism occurs when someone thinks of themselves as being greater than someone and when someone is used to their own way of life and sees someone who does different things and has different interest or looks different. Racism is one of theconflicts in the world that will probably never be resolved because you can't force people to like and accept difference. Racism was probably meant to happen because a world would be either totally in order or totally corrupt if everyone was the same and I believe that being different is unique and being unique is beautiful.
