the tale of a king
When I woke up this morning I got dressed and raced down stairs remembering that today was my birthday. I was turning 16. As I got down the creaky wooden stairs in our small wood house I seen my dad, mom, brother, grandma, and grandpa. They all said happy birthday. Then we sat down and ate breakfast. After that I went to do my morning chores and walked past the sheppy pen and my dad called me over and he handed me a jacket with the outside made of leather and the inside was all sheppy wool.
When I got inside after my morning chores my mom said that we should wait for grandma to come. When she finally got here we got to open the presents when I opened my dads gift it was a sword with a blade of idonium which is a rare black steel with a black handle that had gold swirling up the handle and a red ruby at the end. I looked stunned and my dad started to smile. I started to grab my mom’s gift to me dad told me that the sword was the best one the elves had ever made. And I listened and wondered how much it had cost for him. Then grabbed my moms gift to me and had opened it. It was a bow and some arrows. The bow had a handle with the nicest carving on it and it had looked amazing. My mom knew how much I had wanted a bow too. I grabbed the gift from my grandpa and started to open it when I seen something shining in the bushes and started to move towards it when my grandpa handed me his present to me. I opened it and I seen a shining steel blade and opened it more and it was a knife almost identical handle to my sword but without a ruby. I looked amazed as I realized that the stuff I had gotten was all the stuff the first king of the entire world of hondgong and it had been hidden by the family after he had died and that only the heirs of his family could find it and work the powers of it and started to think about it. And I slowly looked up at my family and realized that I was his heir and I asked them my mom started to realize that I found out and she just told me and that they weren’t my real family. Then my grandma ran in the room and handed me a map and said that I had to protect it with my life and it was the only way I could find the most powerful part of the king’s collection of sacred tool of peace and it was the only way to defeat shanglong and told my parents that they were here and told me to hide in the basement cellar.
I got there I lit a candle and looked out the little window in the next room and I realized that the 10 jebouys from shanglonngs army had come to kill me and I ran and grabbed a cloak and ran out of the cellar as I got out of the house I seen it the first jebouy the strongest one and it didn’t notice me so I quickly came up behind it and grabbed my sword and stabbed it many times in the head and back. Then it fell and it got really still then it started to get back up and turned around and I ran to the village and ran into a baby sheppy I grabbed it and continued running I got to the village and seen my family, some villagers and Xavier, Claire, and Jesse. They were trying to kill a jebouy while it was destroying town hall they didn’t notice as I ran at it with my sword right in the head of it. They turned around in amazement and didn’t realize it was I and I did a triple back flip and cut a jabots head in halve and stabbed the one right next to it. And I ran to the one my family was attacking and shot an arrow in its forehead and it fell and then there were 6 left and I took six arrows and hit five of them and they all fell and the last one turned around and charged me and I flipped over it and stabbed it in the head an it turned and charged and then I drove my sword straight through its hest and it died and then the jebouys body’s disappeared. And everyone turned to me and my dad took out his sword and realized it was the sword of a protector (there was 5 protectors and there job was to protect the king of hadgong.)
0He ran towards me grabbed me by the neck and didn’t realize whom I was. And put his sword up to my neck and he asked me who I was and I dint answer and he said that only the king of hadgong or his most powerful servant with his sword could defeat the 10 jebouys and then he took off my hood and then he started to walk backwards and I turned around and someone appeared in the trees and he looked muscular and he pulled out his sword everyone around me started to kneel and I kneeled and I looked down at a puddle and realized my face had changed and so had the rest of my body it looked way to muscular to be me.
He told me to rise he looked me over then he said that he had to challenge me to a sword dual and I accepted and then he walked 20 feet away from me and everyone started to rise and then he walked towards me slowly and then he ran and slashed he hit my left arm and then I felt power surge throw me and then my sword glowed blue and I charged him and then he fell backwards and I had my sword at his neck and then he said I won. I got up and then put the cloak back on and started to walk away when he said why was the great king staying in this village and I turned around and he said his name was Andrew and the only person who could ever beat him in a sword dual was the king the strongest person in the kingdom. then all the people in the village had started to gasp and then he handed me a paper and it said the only way to find the key is to face my fears and I didn’t know what it meant and then he told me and the villagers we had o leave the village and we started to grab some stuff and left then my dad and he said he was sorry king
