Dragon Writing

Kia Ora Bloggers! For the last 2 weeks we have been doing some writing. For this particular piece of writing we took a photo and turned it into a story. Here is mine.

It was a week like no other, a day with the sun shining down… on most people. The king had just executed nearly an entire village with the help of his dragon named Luigi. The dragon was a vivid green and had the long and curled horns of a goat. The rest of the village folk broke through the barriers of the kings great castle. They stormed up the steps pitchforks and torches in hand. The king saw the mob and began to call “KEEP THEM AWAY FROM MY DRAGON!”. The knights burst through the grand door and started to charge down the mob. Though they jabbed and pushed only 2 were left climbing up the wall. They reached the top of this historic place. They saw the great beast and came up with a plan “We’ll lure him here with a piece of meat on a stick, he will take the meat and gobble it up, then we will jab him and stab him until he is dead!”. 

As the dragon glides over, his humongous wings flapping the boys hear the king scream “NO LUIGI NO, THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL YOU!”. As the dragon eats the food the boy pushes the pitchfork down the dragon's throat instantly killing the giant monstrosity. The dragon falls down whilst squashing the king, his crown flies up high and the boy who killed Luigi catches the crown on his head. 

As the boys climb down something crazy happens. All of the knights were bowing down to the one who caught the crown! They all started saying “Oh My Liege, we are at your fingertips, if there is an invasion we will fight back the townsfolk!”. But the boys didn’t like that idea “Oh no you won’t, I want the gates open to the townsfolk forever so they can come and visit, especially my family!” he indicated his parents. “Yes my liege, we will leave the great castle open to the village!”. So from that grand day the castle gates were always left open, though there were many people who didn’t like this all was well, except for when the king had a daughter… To be continued!

I really enjoyed being able to take one picture and turn it into my own story. This time when I was writing I was trying to create an emotional response for the reader. Some of the words I used that did this were monstrosity, invasion & stormed. Maybe next time I could do it about the boys befriending the dragon. Hopefully I will be back soon with some more writing! Blog you later.
