At that very moment he looked up and saw Wizder the Observer at the window 3
trying to say something, but there was too much commotion in class for him to be
heard, no one even noticed him there… Wizder signaled Jonathan to come over
and then whispered in his ear,
"This is your chance to start the journey with me to the Soul Creatures' Land."
Jonathan wiped the tears from his face. He was curious. He looked at Wizder
again from behind his teary eyes and asked,
"How?? What kind of journey would this be anyway, with the class in such
mayhem?"
Wizder said,
"Take a good look, this is exactly what happens when the imps take over. Your
friends have completely forgotten their magical powers. But you can examine
everything from where you're standing and see which imp has taken over."
Jonathan remembered the gifts Wizder had given
him. He rushed over to his back pack and took
out the magical binoculars.
When he looked through them, he saw a sight
that was frightening at first but then turned pretty
hilarious; his classmates had very strange imps
sitting on their shoulders, each with many hands
doing mischievous things, lots of eyes looking
everywhere, and quite a few mouths that wanted
to eat everything they could grab (especially if it
was sweet).
The "I Want It Now" Imp represents the inability to delay
gratification and inability to restrain oneself, which lead
to the desire to obtain things or attention without delay.
