Short Story I Wrote

Dragon Knight

It was the time of dragons, wizards, kings and sorcerers. It was the time of happiness but one day the people’s luck changed. Their luck changed one day when a baby boy was born from a royal clan. His name was Richter and he was not any ordinary child because of his dragon mark on his hand. It gave him some type of strength and power. At school he would draw dragons and not pay any attention to the teacher. Same during their brake in the middle of the day, he would draw dragons.

Their was even one time at school were his dragon mark lit up and a flame shot from his hand and caught the drapes that hung from the window on fire. He was a loner at school after that incident because, everyone was scared of him and thought he was a freak.

His parents got tired of their son’s behavior and his fascination with dragons, so they decided together to do research on their son Richter. They went to the Archives the nest day to find out what was wrong with their son and what the mark meant on his hand. They found a scroll on the history of the dragon. They searched through the book, finding the same mark as their son’s in it. It said that their son wasn’t ordinary. That he was special because, the mark meant he was a dragon knight, protector of dragons. Richter’s parents decided to keep this a secret until he was older.

Richter was eighteen now and his birthday was coming up. He was very excited because everyone in town would be there and it was going to be the day his parents were going to tell him what their secret was about him. Richter also loved to sword fight but his sword was old so he asked his parents for a new one for his birthday and knew he would be getting a new sword.

Richter woke up very excited because it was his nineteenth birthday today. He knew when he came back to the castle after school there would be a wonderful party for him waiting. He left for school all excited. He didn’t like school but he was extra good there because if he wasn’t he wouldn’t get the new sword he wanted that his parents promised to get him. After school he ran home knowing a huge party was waiting for him.

When he arrived at the castle, no one was around. He thought they were all inside waiting to surprise him. Richter opened the doors to the castle and found it to be empty in the castle. He remembered he didn’t check the ballroom in the castle. That would be a great place to have a party, he thought. He went racing down to where the ballroom was and opened the doors, but it was too dark to see anything.  He stumbled over to were the windows were and pulled back the drapes to let the light in and a loud surprise noise filled the room. He was right, the party did take place in the ballroom. There were people all around and he was having a great time. Everything was going great so you would think.

Suddenly a crash came through a window in the room next to the ballroom where Richter’s father, the king was located. His father screamed in pain as another crash came through the window. Then there was total silence in the room next door. His father had been killed by the Ragora army, enemies of the king. Soldiers came crashing through the windows all around us and a great fight broke out among us and them.

My mother screamed for me as she opened a secret entrance which led out of the castle. I could not leave my father though. I raced to my presents to find the one that looked like the shape of a sword. I found it, the sword I wanted. It was made of the finest silver in the land and had my name and the same dragon symbol on my hand engraved in it. It was the perfect gift. I picked up the sword and began to fight, killing as many Ragora soldiers as I could. I was angry at what they did to my father. He was the best father and friend a son could ask for. I hated the Ragora for what they did and wished them all dead. My mark began to light up as I kept on fighting and it seemed to make me stronger and faster than before.

Then one of the Ragora said, “Get the boy, he’s the one we want!” I was confused. What did they want with me? Then my mother found me and told me I was a dragon knight, protector of dragons. I knew what I had to do. I must go on a journey to save the dragons from the Ragora army. I said fare well to my mother and rushed to my room to get my things together and was ready to embark on my quest to find the dragons. With my father in my heart, I rushed to the secret passage way my mother opened in the ballroom and journeyed my way out of the castle. The Ragora army was chasing me but I had lost them in the city of Deltora, my home land. Once I got far  away to rest, I looked back to see my home land in flames. I blamed myself for the loss of my family and my people.

If I had never been chosen by fate to be a dragon knight none of this would have happened. I journeyed on in search of the dragon’s kingdom and as time went on I started to not blame myself for what happened. I began to understand why I was chosen, it was because I was special and had an interest in dragons. I was chosen to protect them and that’s what I was going to do. I walked on trying to find my way to the dragon kingdom. It began to get dark so I decided to stop and rest for the night.

The next morning I realized someone had been following me because some of my food was missing. I picked up my sword and said, “Show yourself coward!” A man stepped out of the woods and he shouted, “I do not want to harm you.” He said his name was Logan and that he once was a dragon knight and knew I was the new dragon knight in search of the dragon kingdom.

I told him please sit down and we began talking. He told me of how the Ragora king killed his dragon along time ago which stripped him of his powers and how the Ragora became evil through their lust for power. He said he would teach me the ways of a dragon knight and teach me how to fight and used my dragon knight powers. So I finally had a friend and a mentor again. It felt good to have someone with me and our journey pressed on. We finally did it Logan shouted. We reached the dragon kingdom. The city of the dragons was covered in gold and jewels that shined in the sun and the city was flaming in fire. It was the most spectacular thing I had ever seen. We proceeded to walk into the city as the other dragon knights and dragons looked at me and Logan and bowed to us. We walked  down the long stairs to meet the dragon called Grange, King of the dragons and the dragon kingdom.

We ended up meeting with Grange and Logan told Grange about me and what had happened to my homeland. Grange knew what had to be done. We would have to prepare ourselves for a battle against the Ragora that may change the future.

Richter later finds out that Grange is his dragon. He found this out one day when Grange and Logan were talking and he read into Grange’s mind. Both Richter and Grange continued train and prepare for the upcoming battle with the Ragora. During this time the Ragora army received news of Richter’s plans of attack and they also started to prepare for a battle.

It was the night before the battle and both the Ragora army and Richter’s army were making final preparations for the big battle in the morning that would take place in the valley of the dragons. Logan took Richter aside and had a gift for him that night that may help him in the epic battle. It was Logan’s sword. Richter asked, “What can your sword do that mine can’t?” Logan explained that this was not any ordinary sword, that this was the sword of the dragons wheeled from the fires of the dragon kings, which gave it mystical powers. Logan explained if I used the sword wisely I could unleash these powers like he ones did. I took the sword and could feel the dragon’s power within me as the sword and my dragon mark lit up in a flaming redish color.

I was prepared for the battle of my life with my dragon Grange beside me. The next morning we woke up, rushing to our dragons. I was the new king of the dragon knights and was going to lead my people to victory against the Ragora army once and for all. I mounted my dragon along side the other dragon knights and we took to the air flying towards the battle field.   

When we arrived to the battle field, we could realize we were greatly outnumbered but we were not going to give up now. We attacked the Ragora with everything we had. Dragon knights and Ragora soldiers dying all around me as I kept attaching in hope we would win. Then a rage broke out within me and the dragon sword I held in my hand began to glow in a flame of fire alone with Grange.

We attached, Grange breathing a flame of fire at the Ragora army putting them up in flames. The Ragora soldiers burned as they ran in a panic. I dismounted Grange attaching the Ragora king. We began to fight, as I slashed him with my sword and he fell to his knees.

I finally was going to get my revenge on the Ragora for what pain they caused me so long ago and finally they would never be able to hurt anyone again. I raised my sword and cut through the king’s armor piercing his heart. The Ragora king was dead and the Ragora army turned to retreat but the dragons finished them off by breathing a huge flame of fire burning them all. The battle was won and things were finally at peace in the dragon kingdom.

I thought to myself my family would be every proud of me and my accomplishments and the man I have become. I became ruler of the kingdom and protected the lands from evil with Grange, Logan, and the other dragon knights along my side.

I was twenty-one now and I was getting ready to settle down and start a family and I was not going to live forever so I needed to have a son or daughter to be able to be there to take my place when I died. My fellow friend and dragon knight Raymond introduced me to his daughter Fiona. She was twenty and the most beautiful girl I had ever met. She had long brown wavy hair, blue eyes like the color of the ocean, and a smile that lit up the room.

Me and her later fell in love and decided to get married. Fiona’s father Raymond approved of the marriage and we got married and she now ruled the lands along my side. Fiona and I had a baby boy and when he was old enough I would train him in the ways of the dragon knight and the ways of how to rule a kingdom. But until that day Fiona and I and the dragon knights will continue to protect the kingdom from any evil and will fight for our freedoms and not surrender our kingdom for anyone who tries to stand in our way. Hopefully we do not come across any other evils like the Ragora again and my kingdom can live in peace for years to come and my son can take over once he is old enough.

Richter and his people lived in peace for many years until Richter and Fiona passed away and their son Cario took over the throne alone side the dragon knights and his people their supporting him to protect the kingdom from any evil that would stand in their way.

Poems By Me

Broken Heart

Why did you do it,

Putting me through this Hell?

You said, “You hated me and that you wanted to hurt me,”

As you hit me once more.

I wish you could see all the pain you put me through and

I could make you cry too,

But it seems to me you just don’t care.

You tell me you don’t love me,

As I lay on the floor broken and torn in two.

My heart is broken,

But I still love you.

I just want you to see what you put me through.

I wish I could have escaped this Hell but I couldn’t.

First Love

Do you remember when we first met?

I rushed home to tell my mother,

I had found my future wife, my future lover.

As the years went on our friendship and love for each other grew closer,

And I wanted each moment with you to last forever.

You are an image of a true friend,

One who is there to hold my hand,

One who loves me for me,

And who loves me just the way I am.

You showed me what true love really meant and so much more,

And you were always there.

You will always be in my heart to stay,

And the wind that blows in the air,

Is like your presence that I hold so dear.

You were my first love,

My first true friend.

I know in my heart that you will always be there,

And I just wanted to say I love you.

Total Darkness

As I sit in this room of darkness,

Pondering my life.

The Grim Reaper is coming to take my life.

I am not ready to die!

Can anyone hear my cry?

Please come save me from my life,

Save me from my strife.

This pain I hold inside, I have to throw outside.

Then I hear a voice that tells me,

That everything will be alright, as I see the light.

Reaction

I hit you first,

Now I thirst,

For a reaction of devastation.

This perception of what’s right and wrong,

Doesn’t sink in the back of my mind.

As you grind your fists together to take a punch,

I flinch,

As you knock me out on the bench.

Mind spinning as I’m swinging,

Thirsting for another reaction of devastation.
