Seasons of Change

Although a mighty storm loomed on the horizon,  a group of brave young ceramicists ascended on the daunting task of finishing the "Kiln."  More often then not, the kiln and its cave like structure had been seen as cursed and hexing all who touched it would immediately be transformed.  Finding that each time the person sat down to work, all creativity had been sucked from their souls, leaving shells of artists in the kilns path.

However, as the clouds aligned and the storm gathered, this brave group piled brick upon brick onto the bone like shell of the kilns interior.  Sealing in the fire dragon that slept inside.  Finally casting a sacred stone on the eternal resting place, ensured that any dark powers that resided inside would be vanquished and creativity could be restored once more.

Scarred and worn from laborious days of fighting the cursed kiln, the keystone would prove the final blow to a kiln that had gained monstrous powers since its origination.  Gaining power through morale and sacrificed souls, the ceramics class at Indiana University Southeast had regained its glory and lived to fight again another day.
