Network Super Adventure - by Widi

Well this is my story, my name is Axcel, and I live in Spira where technology was very important at that time. I was very clever, funny, kind person. Actually I live in Spira only around 2 month because my house is flying house so I easily went to other places. My favorite game was NSA, which stands for NETWORK SUPER ADVENTURE. However, I could not play that game really well because he doesn’t have any fighting skill but he is very good at strategy. Therefore, every time he played that game he always loses or quit because he really don’t have any skill to fight. I had many friends because his kindness, my best friend was Vaxen, Erika and Aros. They are very kind to me and always tried to train Axcel’s fighting skill so he can be the best Network Hero ever in the network. Their missions is to defeat the ONLY, the ONE, the, EVIL the UGLY rabbit sorcerer with the enormous power!!! That tried to took over the network and turn the network to chaos network. When the first day of his school after the long holiday after graduation he is finally in high school called SNHS (Spira Neutron High School). He and his other best friend are in the same class where their homeroom teacher is looks really mean. After a few hour of the complicated computer science we continue to the most boring lesson which is history of Spira.
“Hey Axcel what will you choose for the activity,” asked Aros
“Ummm... maybe I will take the technology or programming lesson so I can create a weapon for us in the NSA,” answered Axcel.
Then when the bell rung they directly ran toward the History class in Mrs. Denai’s class but when they arrived in Mrs. Denai’s class, they were late.
“Hey folks why are you late!” said Mrs. Denai in angry voice
“W… We’re so sorry about that Mrs. Denai we promise not to do it again,” said Erika.
“Okay because we must follow the rule of school, tardiness is worth with level Three suffering time and it adds one for each time you tardy,” said Mrs. Denai while looking at the punishment of the suffering time level three.
“Okay I got it your punishment is….. BEING SHOCKED BY ELECTRIC EEL IN THE SWIMMINGPOOL AND BEING RAMED BY THE BULL ON THE FIELD!!!!!!” Mrs. Denai said in very loud, fast and angry voice
After a moment of angry time she gave them the punishment slip and asked them to leave the class. After they leave the class they went to the canteen and ate some food
“Hey guys why we don’t get in to the network by my laptop because it’s still very long until the history class end,” Axcel said in very confident voice.
“Okay why not,” answered Vaxen and the others in happy voice.
“But... Guys I will stay here and send everything you guys need,” said Axcel before they connect with the network. But they still try to force Axcel to come with them  but finally Axcel still don’t wanted to join them. When they get in to the network, Axcel is creating a weapon for their team. After I finished the setup I directly give commands to the team to move and attack the team in the kingdom/base in front of our base. When they attack they succeeded to defeat two guardians and finally can come in to the castle to took over the tutorial and took their weaponry and money. After they defeat their army they spread out a team and attack the entire five leaders that also play online in the different place. With good skill Vaxen have to deal one on one with the last leader because the other leader and his friends were killed and return to real life, so after a very tight battle Vaxen is beaten but I send him a hyper proton cannon with the ability to fire super hot laser that can turn anything to liquid. So I send Vaxen the laser and he use it and finally defeat the white kingdom and we succeed to enlarge our tutorial and we got our level grown and new abilities. After we all returned we are very happy, so when we look at our stats they heard that the bell rung and they ran to the math class where their teacher is Mr. Demort or Mr. Punisher because he likes to give everyone suffering time and sometimes he makes the punishment himself. After an hour of math lesson we can go home because it’s the first day of school so everyone can go home fast. After I arrived at home I directly sleep in my bedroom and do my discovery to make a new weapon in the networks to help my friends, but suddenly I make a mistake when programming so it damage whoever that play the network adventure and they will get in to the networks and stuck over there forever until they defeat the rabbit sorcerer and bring back the book of light that was stolen by them because I make the system error and they can’t even recover it back. So I called my friends to my house but I realized that they also sucked to the network and when I took my laptop a light shine from my laptop and bring me to the network world and landed me in the place that I never know but the weird thing is, I still holding my laptop and wearing the same cloth when I still in my real world. When I check the error program I found that the error damage until the costume and reality solid mode which can block if we get stab, slashed or got damaged by magic, but because that thing is damaged it change the entire program so we can get hurt in this world and the more terrible thing is if we die we and can’t return to the real world and must stay here until someone defeat the rabbit. So I quickly informed what I found by sending them the massage trough the network with my email and send it to the command center. After they received the massage they directly announce to all the players to be on their guard if any monster or fiends attack them. After they announce that I fell like I responsible because of the mistake I did so will try to defeat the rabbit by myself. So I changed to my magician character and walk toward the castle but suddenly I saw my friends is fighting with fiends, So I cast my JINX spell with my rod and all the fiends is destroyed, suddenly they were shocked because of the explosions of my spell and they looks happy because finally I can use my magic clearly and completely without mistake. After all the fiends dead we set a strategy to enter the castle so I create a very big car with super powerful weapon in my laptop and send it to me and my teams place and we went together to attack the castle of the rabbit sorcerer. We passed trough a very dangerous place and have lots of powerful fiends. Because of the powerful fiend we also grew stronger and got more abilities like my new magic. After a very long travel we finally made to the rabbit’s castle and we enter the first gate. The first gate is guarded by a dragon with three head a recording TV is showed in front of us and the rabbit sorcerer said
“Well, well, well isn’t Axcel that make the damage in the network and make me get the book of light hm…. How pitiful warriors of Spira now I can rule the network and destroy the network in the world, But if you wanted to take these book back you must defeat all the guardian in each gate by one on one battle and the people who already fight cannot fight anymore in the other gate, Se ya losers,” the rabbit said from the recording TV and after the TV disappear Aros step forward and prepare his gun to battle. So when the started I directly use my laptop and scan the stats of the dragon and Aros I realized that the HP of the dragon is 11.000 and the HP of Aros is10.000 the damage given by the dragon is a laser beam that inflicts 1000 damage and the gun of Aros inflict 900-1200 damage per bullet, and he use the machine gun bullets and it damage the eye of the dragon, and the dragon fall down and lay down on the ground. When Aros walked to stole the key to the second gate the dragon blast out the fire and inflict serious damage to Aros, but he can stole the key to the second gate. After we defeat the first monster we go to the second gate where guard by the mean killer called GORER but when we are waiting for the next command Vaxen walk closer to the man with relax feelings and the GORER ran to Vaxen and prepare his knife but Vaxen only prepared his right hand and he move with a super fast movement and he just do unbelievable things, he pull of GORER heart and destroy it with his own hands and he took the key to the third gate and we continue with still with the felling of scared to Vaxen because we keep on remembering his other side which is assassin so when we arrived in the third gate the gate is guarded with the lady that use cataar (a type of dagger), and a cup of hemlock poison on her belt and she attack Erika that ready with her staff and she stabbed the assassin lady with her staff and she died but suddenly Erika jumped aside and throw the assassin with Erika’s staff that already covered with the burning poison. So she took the forth gate or the door to the castle and when we open it me and the other saw the Rabbit sorcerer and attack me as hi target so I jumped aside than I cast Thundaga combined with Stormga and cause the thunderstorm to the Rabbit but it protect it self with the Earthga and Waterga that combined to wall of water. After casting many spells he get injured on his leg, hand, and his staff is broken but I also get injured in my leg and hand but quickly I grabbed my rod and cast Holy and a large and bright light came out from the rod and the Rabbit Sorcerer is disappearing in the light. So After I won from the Rabbit I grabbed the book of light and open it than a light shine from the book and all the network area turn to the normal again and with beautiful view. So after everything is normal I return the normal world and my team is became the master in the network. When the second day of school we walked to our first class which is History, and when we come in
“It’s suffering time guys,” said Mrs. Denai in evil face and with the fellings to make use suffering.
“Ouwww... Man...
So that’s the end of the story.
The-End

  


    

The Clever Detective - by Tae Hee

There once was a famous detective called Andrew Thomas. He was born in California in 1879. He had a family without his child wife named Lola Serlio. If any crime happened, he never missed solving the misdeed. He always without fail arrested the criminals.
One day, a crime was committed. An observer said that he had seen what had happened and asked Thomas Andrew for help. He brought some clues that would help Thomas Andrew to find criminal. The clues were blooded gloves, a knife and the skin from the dead body. However, Thomas Andrew suspected that the man who brought the clues was in fact the real criminal. The man’s shirt was colored with blue and red spots. On closer inspection, he found that the red spots were blood from the dead man. This information once again helped him solve the case and he was known as a clever detective once again.
The next day, another crime was committed, but this one was committed at his house. His wife, Lola Serilo was murdered. Luckily, his child had hid and seen what had happened to her and told his father. Thomas Andrew was surprised, because his child said that there were 12 people who had killed his mom. Thomas while still in mourning searched for some clues that would help him find who they were. Thomas spent 5 years looking for clues when he finally found a big clue, it was the criminal’s wallet, it was found in some of his wife’s old clothes. There was his name Johnny Mayi. A letter was found in the wallet that was written like this,
Your wife had been cursed and you also will be cursed.
He tried to figure out where Johnny lived. He only found one sentence which is said ‘he is living in a cave which is located in the Shangri-La Mountains’.
After finding this information, he brought 50 brave men to arrest Johnny and the gang. He decided to attack them at night. The Cave that Johnny and his gang stayed in was at the top of the mountain, so the criminal group was in a good position to fight the police. The next day, the battle began. There were fewer criminals than police so they decided to wait until all the police had gone into the cave. Their aim was to start a fire inside the cave and when the police retreated the 11 criminals would attack them at the gate. At 8pm, the police entered the cave, Thomas left five brave policemen at the gate. The criminal group killed the five policemen with high-powered arrows shot from the top of the cave. The remaining police were really surprised when they looked behind and saw their comrades fall from inside the cave. The criminal continued with their plan and started the fire.
Thomas Andrew had to continue deeper and deeper into the cave but run out of the cave but when they got out they were killed like their comrades by arrows.
By now most of the police had been killed, all that were left were Thomas and five other policemen. They wandered around the caves for a day until they found a way out. Once out they saw another gate that was guarded by two criminals. They decided to wait until night for the criminals to fall asleep. The criminal group got drunk in celebration of defeating the police and fell asleep. At this time Thomas and his group descended down the mountain and went back to the police station to regroup.
The criminals continued their evil activities and left for Japan.
After two years of searching Thomas Andrew figured out where the group would escape to after each major crime that they committed in different countries around the world. A group of 25 brave policemen and Thomas Andrew as their leader got on the plane with their mission to finally arrest the criminals.  Thomas and his gangs almost arrived at Japan’s airport and they arrived. They heard the ‘tick tick tick’ in the middle of the airport. The criminals set the bomb at the middle of the airport. The criminals were excited about watching the bomb explode above using helicopter. The bomb exploded!
18 police who followed him were killed and Thomas and the remaining seven were injured really seriously. The criminals watched over and laughed at the helicopter. Thomas mourningly went back to the police station which was in California. So the criminal group defeated the police once again. They killed 45 people. Thomas was disappointed once again. He discussed with his left police to make a good solution for arresting the criminals.
The criminal group separated everywhere in the world. They tried to make crimes everywhere. They murdered 100 people in the world.  
Thomas was ready to catch the criminals. They regrouped with 100 brave and clever police. After this declaration of the war, all the criminals came back to where Johnny was. Even though Johnny had beaten the police twice, it was not easy to defeat100 police. They thought if they used the fire they would beat the police, unfortunately, there was a spy who Thomas sent to hear the criminals group’s idea who heard what their plan was. He came back to the police station and told what he heard. Thomas decided to make models which seemed like the police to pretend as the police. The criminal group didn’t know anything about this big plan.
The criminal sent a letter to the police station. It was said
If you want to beat us bring 12 police only. Fight one by one and the winner must not be disturbed.
Thomas came out with a perfect idea. It was to kill Johnny. He was the main criminal, so if he died, the remaining criminals would wander around.
Thomas sent one by one to kill Johnny but they were all killed. So they cancelled this idea and tried to arrest one by one.
Their main attack was the weakest criminal.
The battle began, it was 8:30. The models were moved by the police’s hands. They started the fire. There was a sound of ‘whahahahahahahahah!’ from the criminals.  The police began to attack from the back. The criminals still thought that the police were in the flames. When they heard the shout from the police, they realized that there were no police in flames. They noticed that there were models. They ran away to the top of the mountain, Thomas who was beaten by Johnny twice thought it looked weird so they stopped attacking them and came back to the police station. The criminals planned that they would come to the top of the mountain for second fight. There were five big dogs readied. They were little sad, they wanted the police fight with them. They were draw this time but one of the criminals was killed by the police. The criminals were really sad. The police were back to the mountain. 504 police were surrounding the Mountain to catch the criminals. They surrounded about a week. The criminals were hungry, thirsty and hot. They tried to get water at night but it was impossible. The criminals almost gave up to the police, but Johnny the smartest found out that there was a hole in the center of the mountain. They all went out there by night. They succeeded escaping and went directly to Western Europe where Italy is.  Thomas was really disappointed to all of the police. Thomas became crazy. Thomas decided to bring 650 police to arrest the criminals. Suddenly the police station exploded. Thomas got injured and more than 245 people were killed. By this, the criminals defeated Thomas once again. Thomas mourningly brought the left police to make a final battle. 11 criminals were drunk at that time. They also were readied with the final plan. Thomas arrested one of the brave criminals in a lake. He tried to get water for his companions. So far, Thomas lost 310 police and caught two criminals. He was killed. The criminals who didn’t know what happened to their companion kept sleeping. Finally Thomas moved where the criminals stayed and they began shooting the fire arrows. Johnny woke up and started to run away, the other criminals also brought their weapons to fight with the police. Police were patient because they have more police than the criminals, so they asked 15 of them to fight first. When 15 police were killed, all of the police stared at the criminals. As they got tired they were killed by the police and Johnny was the last person who was alive. When all the police tried to kill Johnny but Johnny threw his sword to Thomas when he was attacked.
‘Ouch!’ Thomas got hurt.
‘Ha ha ha ha ha ha’ Johnny laughed at him and died by the hard-powered arrows.
Thomas who was the hero of this battle fainted because of Johnny’s sword and this made all people sorrowed. Before he died, he left a testament which he said like this,
‘Don’t tell my death to anyone in the world, if you tell my death in the world, the crimes will be committed again and again. So don’t tell anyone that I’m dead. This will be my last words to say’.
Then he died, everyone who followed Thomas was so sad. They mourned and mourned. He was buried in the middle of the land where only heroes could be buried. Even though this dead was told to the government, they didn’t think that Thomas was not the hero. This dead was also told to news, newspaper. The crime was never committed again.

Dreams Come True - by Stephanie

One day there was a woman named Stella. At childhood, she really-really wanted to see the genuine monster that she was ever dreaming about. But, her parents always say that there were no monsters in the world. She had strong believed that one day she would see a monster that she was dreaming.
Now, she had become mature. Her parents had passed away because of an accident when she was a teenager. So now, she lived alone in a small house near the forest called ‘Madagascar’. In the morning, she wanted to buy something for lunch in the market that passes the Madagascar forest. When she almost entered the market, she stepped a giant and shining mushroom. She hollered, “Alas! What is this?”
When she looked nearer, she saw that it was a giant mushroom. She did not realize that it was a toadstool. Because she was hungry, without pondering too much, so she ate the mushroom and suddenly she fainted and she had a dream.
In her dream, there was a huge giant monster hollered that the mushroom that she ate just now was his little baby. The monster was so inflamed and with the loud voice, he shouted to her,” Hey human, why you eat him, don’t you know that the mushroom was my little baby!” When she looked at the huge giant monster with a mushroom sign in his belly, she exclaimed in a very loud voice. She was so startled until her sweat fell down to the ground and suddenly the monster shouted again,
“Shut Up!!! No matter what’s the problem, you will be pregnant and YOU must give me a son and named him Alexander!!! REMEMBER what I said to you!!!”
Rapidly, she awoke from her dream and she continued to go to the market to buy food.
     After several days, she always throws up and her belly was so hurt. She did not know what happened with her. She decided to go to the doctor to check her. And, the doctor said that she was pregnant. She was confused who her husband is and why she is pregnant, what’s the matter?!? She tried to remember and……….she remembered that her husband was a huge giant monster with a mushroom sign in his belly. She could not believe it that the monster that was in her dream comes true.
     Days past by and Stella had a baby boy. She told him all the truth about his daddy and how his dad could be a monster. Alex, her kid, was so surprised when he knew that his dad was a huge monster. The first time, he did not believe it. But, after her mom told him the long and clear explanation to him, he strongly believed his mom and accepts what God had planned for him. Although his dad was a monster, he did not ashamed to tell to others the true one. Actually, he was afraid with the monster, but very often his mom told him that his dad was a benevolent monster not like in the story. His mom also told him that he had a mushroom sign in his belly like his dad had. So, it was the sign that Alex was the monster’s kid. Alex was the kid that was different from the normal kid. He was so active, adroit, and very-very helpful.
One wonderful morning, when Stella and Alex were watching TV to listen the hot news today, they saw a huge big monster was stepping the buildings, eating the people, and ripping the buildings like humans who are ripping papers. Stella especially, could not believe that there was a monster in the world. As what her parents told her, there was NO monster in this world. This hot news made every single people was very-very scared of the monster. They were afraid if the monster would eat them. Days by days, the people that died were increased greatly because of the monster. But, no one could stop it because the monster was so powerful, scary, huge, and it could eating humans. No one was brave to defy and defeat the monster, nor one person. They all could only ask His helps and protections.
     At midnight when Stella and Alex had slept, Alex had a dream. In his dream, there was a huge powerful monster that was breaking the buildings and eating humans. Suddenly someone, accurately the angel told him in his dream,
“Alex! Be a hero to safe people because if one is very sick, and the rest of them are not sick. So, better one person is dying then the rest of them are dying. But always remember to ask His helps and protections. REMEMBER it!!!”
Suddenly someone’s voice came,” Alex, don’t listen to him!! You don’t need to be tired and waste your energy to safe people! Better another person that is older than you who is the one who safe people!!! REMEMBER it!!!”
He woke up and he was very confused who are speaking to him. He thought about it and asked God to help him. He said to the Lord,” God, when I slept before, there were two different people who spoke to me about saving people. I really-really confused to choose the correct one! Please help me God!!
God hollered,”The first person who talked to you is the Holy Angel and the second one is the harsh devil! It’s up to you to follow whose words between My Angel and the harsh devil!! First, if you follow the Angel you are so care to the people whom you didn’t know who they are and if you are brave to safe people, maybe you will die when you defeat the monster! But, if you follow the devil words, you will not be tired to defeat him and you don’t need to waste your energy! It’s up to you, but I really-really suggest to choose the Angel’s words like God who had died in the cross to safe others who do the bad things to Him and who had so many sins not like He, himself. Just ask My helps if you need it, I will surely help you!!!”
Because he was believed in God, so he followed what God’s suggested to him! He also wanted to ask his mom about it first. He came to his mom and asked,
“Mom, when I slept, I had a dream and there were two people who told me about saving people. And they told me the different things, so I was confused and I decided to ask God. And, He said that He suggested to safe people like God who had died in the cross to safe people who did the bad things to Him. What is your opinion, mom?”
“Actually, I did not want you to be suffered to defeat the giant monster, but if God had said to you to safe people like He, himself, so just follow what He wanted you to do!! Is that okay, Alex!?!” She answered.
“Alright mom, I would safe people like Him! Please pray for me, mom! Don’t be mourning if I died, because it is God’s will! Okay, I will go now!”
“No! Just go tomorrow morning, so you are not too exhausted because of your works today! I will let you go tomorrow!”
“Okay mom, I will go tomorrow morning! Thank you for allow me, mom!”
In the morning when the sun had risen, Alex went to the place where the monster was and in the way to go there, he prayed to God, “Lord, please helps me to defeat the monster. Please give me strong believe and strong faith in You. Please help me, LORD!!! Amen.”
Now, he had seen the giant monster that was bigger than he had ever watched in the TV. He was so afraid, but God always reminds him to be strong and believe that he could defeat the monster.
     He went near to the giant monster and he shouted,” Hey monster, come here, why you eating people?” In a few minutes, the monster turn back and he saw a little kid who wanted to defeat him. Alex brought a sword and lances to defeat him. The enormous monster was trying to step and kick Alex. He tried so many times, but he could not step him. They fought and fought and unfortunately the monster clothes was tore and Alex saw a mushroom sign and he screamed, “Monster, I am your kid! We had the same sign in our bellies! I am so sorry because……..”
Suddenly, Alex had been killed by his own dad because he thought that Alex was lying. He was so surprised when he saw the same mushroom sign in his belly. The monster shouted,” Oh….NO!! I had killed my own son! He was screaming many times and…….
There was a shiny bright light from the sky. Someone said,” Dad, don’t be mourned! I knew that before you did not know that I am your kid! That’s alright, now I lived happily ever after in paradise with God. Because I am dead, God would give you my eternal spirit by His mighty power to change you became a human like others in this world. But, you must promise that you would guide my mom forever because she did not have any family anymore except you, okay?!?”
“Okay my son, I swore that I would guide your mom as good as I could. I am so sorry because I had killed you, because I did not know who you were before. Please forgive me, Alex!”
     Rapidly, the shiny light had been disappeared and the giant monster became a human. He was so happy and delighted when he looked at his body became a human like others. He came to Stella’s house and he told all that happened before. He told her that Alex had been passed away and it was his own fault. Stella said,” Its okay, because it was God’s will. I was really delighted because you became human being.”
Both of them were praying to God, Stella said,” God, I knew that Alex was with you now, in your lovely kingdom! I accepted what you wanted to take from me and my family, thank you God, you had changed my lovely husband became human being. Please guide both of us and Alex wherever we are. Thank you Lord. Amen.”
In a few minutes later, someone knocked the door and the monster who was Stanley was opening the door and he looked that there was a little boy. He did not know who the boy was and luckily Stella went out to see the guest who knocked the door. She saw a little boy that was her own son, Alexander. Stanley just realized it that the little boy was his own son. Stanley and Stella were so amazed because of Alex. They were really-really delighted because Alex lived again.
Alex said,” Mom, dad, I lived again because of your faithful prayer and God allowed me to live in this world for the second chance. Because I said honestly to God that I still wanted to live in the world with my lovely parents and because God is very-very kind to me, so He gave me the second chance to live in this world to gather with my lovely parents. Let’s we all thanked Him for His kindness to us, He had gathering all of us here completely and gave Alex the second chance to live.”
“Yeah…We really need to thank Him for His great and mighty blessings to us. He had changed Stanley became a human and He gave Alex the second chance to live. Let us pray, I will lead the prayer.” said Stella.
     “Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for gathering my family here. I really thanked you because You had given me my son that I really adore and You had changed my husband became a human like us. Please bless the rest of our life, give your peace and mercy to us to adore and care for one another. Thank you, God. Amen.”
Stella ended her prayer. They started their new day with felicity and they lived happily ever after.

untitled - by Mayang

It was the beginning of the Second Century, when libbits live in peace by the Lakenrell. It was when the sun shined through the small windows of their comfy houses, and when the pirates can easily listen to the whispering wind by the oceans and seas.
In Marilliath, lived a type of unique creature, the libbits. Libbits were short and had their own style of hair, usually it would be curly or wavy, but rarely some were even straight-haired. The libbits that were born straight-haired will be known very wise and very clever. They were not allowed to cut their hair except if they choose to retire from the ‘wise libbit’ community. Some of the libbits were even pirates. Libbits were known for their excellence for being carpenters or pirating. Their light hands created fine results. A regular libbit will spend his life venturing the sea, smoking, eating, sit by porch and delight the sunset or sunrise. Libbits easily get grumpy, especially if they’re not comfortable or because their ships were stolen by other pirates. But mostly, libbits will just enjoy their lives in the beautiful green land of Breen.
But behind the wonders of Breen, darkness was growing. Although for so many years Filthïr the Dark Lord was known to be dead already, actually, he had been hiding in the gloomy caves up on the dim mountain, gathering power until gaining some followers.
“Hey!!!” Filthïr called, “I can’t let those creatures so proudly settle freely in the lands of Marilliath!! That is the main reason of having this meeting with all of you! I don’t want libbits alive except for being my slave.” He was so greedy that he kept his rule-the-whole-world ambition in his head, always.
“My lord, to destroy them, we need something mighty, unbeatable but still be under your command. Alive or dead.” answered one of his servants.
“Well, I’ve heard of the key of the ancient bloody barbarians of the west. It is a magical key which locked the malicious beasts of hell. Long ago, creatures that lived on the earth were very tainted and uncontrollable. The mighty gods cursed them and eventually lock them in the hell of wickedness and filth. Deciding that they (the prisoners) would not be allowed to be free anymore, the gods also cursed the key and hid it under the stones of Salty Mountain.” said an ogre. “But, the myth also said that anyone who had the heart to steal it away will be cursed, even if they die the curse will stay.”
“What is the curse?”
“People have not had the filthy guts to speak about it, nor to hear about it. That’s the only thing I know.”
“Humph!! I do not believe in any ghost stories no more! I’m sure that the spell's a fake, besides if people knew that the devils must not be unlocked, who would want to set them free?” Filthïr yelled. “Prepare for the pursuit, NOW !!!!!”
Immediately, the ogres went up with his followers to a gloomy mountain where Filthïr had regained his powers. In fact, by the dark meditation Filthïr had done, the wall of the caves had absorbed the terrible power. So Filthïr put a spell of living upon the walls of the cave. “Dig through the walls, they’re ready to be born…” He said with a mysterious grin. The ogres began to dig, by a few minutes scary shrieks appeared. ‘Things’ fell out of the walls as the ogres dig deeper and deeper. The ‘things’ were moving, screeching nasty creatures inside a green layer of sticky slime, the look of it was very similar to a baby within the mother’s womb. Slowly, those creatures cut through the slime and rose up. Their appearance was dreadfully identical with ogres. Only they’re much more able-bodied with giant muscles and massive iron fists. By the time these newborn ogres were many, without anymore explanation, were sent directly in search of the Key of Hell.
*                    *                    *
Back in the peaceful Luiniel, a council was held, handling the report of the dark lord’s actions. It was attended by libbits - pirate libbits were not really hated. Because in their days, pirates were just ‘crazy libbits’ they called them, it’s because they were not as wicked as men’s pirates were. Libbit pirates would only explore, hunting and fishing, mostly. So the point is, the pirate libbits were trusted enough to be in the council as well, but of course, the long-haired one.
“Rumor has it that our enemy’s strength is coming back, and the key has been desired to be used by Filthïr.”  Zwane, the leader began. “Filthïr is not defeated yet. He is coming back.”
“Then what are we waiting for? We must kill him soon!”
“Yes! March into his lands and send him back to hell now!” the other libbits called out. Annoyed, Zwane responded to the libbits who always think very shortly, “We cannot do that, for we must not let him have the key first, we’ll be killed if the key unlocks the hell soon.”
“So we must get Filthïr away from the key, before killing him.”
After a long discussion they decided to trick Filthïr to give up his powers to things that he’s attracted most. So they sent Filthïr beautiful, tender things which he truly hates. First they sent one of the libbits, Dane, who’s disguised as an ogre, ‘pulling’ him by his words so that Filthïr wouldn’t even touch the key.
*                    *                    *
In the darkness of the mountain, the ogres nearly arrived at the place where the key was known to be. By a few hours of quarrels, deciding which way they should take, ‘disguised Dane’ said, “My lord, I suggest that don’t you touch the key, it’s cursed!”  Filthïr doesn’t want to have anybody in his path, so he ignored him. “O, Filthïr the great, just don’t – UGH!!“ Angry Filthïr picked Dane by his neck and hung him to death.
The libbits didn’t thought they would have Dane die. So they sent Filthïr beautiful things which he hates, doves, flowers and two extra libbits as cute fluffy, cloud-white rabbits. They sent them to stay at the foot of the Mountain to prevent Filthïr from coming in. The libbits were really counting on these. But the next morning, one of the butterflies they sent brought news of Filthïr, it turns out that their two dear libbits were… cooked into rabbit stew for the whole evil company. There’s no time for grieve! They thought, so they tried and tried and tried and tried and got nothing good. Every move they made will just be an ant at Filthïrs hands! Useless and stupid.
  “What are we going to do now?!” a grumpy libbit said beneath his long beard and hair. The situation was worst than you think. Hope was failing. The old libbits sobbed in the great grieve before them. The fate of Breen was in their hands. The more they thought about the future, the more they weep, wetting their beard and hair.
Just then, a pirate scurried into the room, wondering why in the world the others are crying. He said, “Lord Zwane, your wife has –…”  <<BRAKK!!!>> Crashed the doors, “My husband!!!” “…come” he finished. A stunning, magnificent, gorgeous lady ran into the room.  It’s Zwane’s wife. Her beauty shone to the faces of the libbits. Her black hair was darker than the twilight, her lips were red as cherry. Nobody could ever avoid the fact of loving her.
“I heard the news of the Key, send me. Filthϊr wouldn’t resist me. I would die for the sake of our people.” she said hopeless. “I wouldn’t do that!” yelled Zwane. “You knew you’d die if you face him.”  
“I KNOW! But I would not choose to send our people into their doom!”
Then silence came, without any further comment, Zwane’s wife leave the room, heading to the paths where it leads to the mountain. Stunned, Zwane grabbed her hand, knowing that this is the only way, he allowed her to go.     

Within a few hours, Zwane’s lady appeared in front of Filthϊr. Filthϊr was surprised by her beauty. Without anymore thoughts, Filthϊr insisted her to be his wife. Knowing that this will happen, she said, “If you want me, you must not touch the key.” Hearing this, Filthïr was very angry. He tried to kill her, but he couldn’t. He was too stunned by her beauty. Hopeless, she then snatched his sword and instantly pierced it through Filthϊr’s guts and stabbed him continuously, sending him to his death. She didn’t know that it was going to work. Suddenly, the servants of Filthϊr were too angry they immediately cut her head off. Tears dripped from her blinking eyes before her head fell to the ground. Just a second after that, the ogres who were bound to Filthïr life banished from the earth and turned to dust.
By Filthϊr’s blood which floods the plains, plants began to appear everywhere. Vegetation creeps from the cracks of the dry earth. Beautiful trees and animals appeared. The waters emerged to flow again. The dark clouds got away from the sun’s way. The news was brought to Zwane and his company. They’re all happy, but Zwane himself wept because of his lover’s death.
The key was never to be touched, and like how any other remarkable fairy tales ended, then they live happily ever after.

Changes+Faith+Love+Some Weird Things=? - by Kezia

It was a sunny morning that day. The typical early mornings that was perfectly ideal for the start of a brand new day. Too bad, not much of the citizens in Colesto were awake to see the sun creeping up slowly towards the sky. But, for sure, an ordinary girl with an ordinary family was gazing upon the sky with a twinkle in her eyes.
“Wow! What a fantastic morning this is…” she said seeing through her window. She took a step backwards and saw that her twin brother was still hidden under his blanket and was still snoozing tightly with his pillows.
“Zack! Hey, Zack! Wake up you sloth!” said Mack loudly so that her twin would wake up.
“What?!” muttered Zack with his sleepy eyes half opened.
“What?! You’re saying what?! It’s 7 o’clock already! Wake up, take a shower, go down and have your breakfast! Then, we go to school. Quick!” said Mack, while she pulled Zack from his blue and green bed.
Zack went down from his bed and walked past Mack into the bathroom. Mack heard the sound of water coming out from the shower and she made a happy smile on her sweet face, proud that she can make her brother get up. Mack went down the stairs and sat down on the table to have her first meal that day.
“Morning Dad,” greeted Mack with again a smile on her face. “Morning Mom,”
“Morning dear…” replied Mr. and Mrs. Smith at the same time. “Where’s your brother, Mack?”
“He’ll be down soon.” answered Mack shortly.
Not long after that, Zack went down to have his breakfast. Mack only gave him 5 minutes to finish up because she didn’t like to be late, just because of Zack’s laziness.
They went down the street as soon as Zack said good-bye to his parents. It only took about 10 minutes to walk down the street and arrive at their school.
“Hey dude!” said a good-looking, tall boy to the Smith twins.
“Freddie… you surprised us!” said the twins together.
Freddie Jones, Mack and Zack were friends since childhood. They always went on the same school, same tutors, and same near places where they live. O yeah, there was also Kevin Clark. He was like Zack’s second twin. Everything they did, they did it all together. It’s funny of how Mack can get along with all those boys, but well, they’re born to be friends so different genders wouldn’t be any big deal…
* * * * *
Meanwhile, the same girl and boy twins were having a quarrel of who should take the dog for a walk outside. Mr. and Mrs. Candy were concerned of how their son and daughter had acted so they told Barley and Carmel to take the dog for a walk together.
Their family came from Orville and now they were new comers to Colesto. Their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Candy said that Colesto was a great town to live in, the citizens were nice, and every morning the sun always greets the people there bright fully and cheerfully.
Barley and Carmel took their dog, Pitch to walk on the park not far away from where the live. The dog ran here and there during his walk and the Candy twins were fed up with it. They were tired so they took a rest on a green bench laying down on the edge of the park with a big, old oak tree standing above it, giving a very soothing shade from the bright sunshine.
“Hmmm… What a tiring day… Glad to be here resting under this huge tree. Right, Barley?” said Carmel with a kind voice.
“Yeah… It has been so exhausting since the day we arrived here, right? Unpacking things, tidying up our new rooms, and other stuff,” said her twin brother. “What day is today?”
“Umm… Friday isn’t it?” answered Carmel.
“Oh… Then on Monday we’re going to start our new school?”
“I guess so. I’m still a little nervous and kind of not ‘ready’, you know?”
“Don’t worry, I feel the same thing too, Mel… But I think we would have a bunch of new friends to hang out with, just like in our old school in Orville. Think positive, sister!” calmed Barley.
So they went back home with Pitch after the little chit-chat that they had. But during their way home, they saw an advertisement that a new amusement park would be opened this Sunday. It was a brand new park, the first park that had ever existed in Colesto and it was totally interesting! Their hearts were filled with joy and enthusiasm. They can’t wait until Sunday comes and being present at the grand opening of the new Ark Park.

Again, the day starts up with a very bright yellowish smile from the sun on the sky up above. The weather was perfect for the grand opening of Ark Park. Hundreds and thousands of people intended to visit the Ark Park because it would be so sad if they miss the great grand opening of this new park.

* The Grand Opening of the Ark Park *

“Wow! This Park is amazing!” shouted Mack.
“Yeah!!!!” exclaimed Freddie, Kevin and Zack together.
“Thank goodness your father bought tickets for this day Freddie!” said Kevin.
“Yup! Thank him once again, Fred,” said Zack.
They decided on which ride would they play first because all the rides seemed very interesting and they were really excited about it. They played and enjoyed many games and rides.
It was 4 o’clock and the four of them were out of energy. Filled with joy and laughter inside their hearts, they decided to go home and take a rest for tomorrow’s school. When they were just about to go into their car, they met Carmel and Barley. The four of them bumped into each other but soon they apologized and later, they became friends.
The next day, the Smith twins along with Freddie and Kevin were surprised because the Candy twins were actually new students to their school! They were glad because they had new friends.
Days pasts by so fast, and without knowing it, months had also pasts by, and it had been exactly four months since the six of them met at the Ark Park. They said that they wanted to have the “Fourth Month of Friendship Anniversary”. So they’ve decided to held the anniversary party on where the y first met each other; the Ark Park.
“Wow… It had been 4 months, eh?” said Kevin.
“Yup… So fast wasn’t it?” said Barley.
“I’m just glad that we can be friends for this long…” said Mack
“Yes I fee-“
When Zack was just about to finish his sentence a sudden ZAP happened in the park! Flashes of light came suddenly from the dark eerie sky. But it seemed that the six of them were the only ones who saw it. All the other visitors looked just calm and fine.
“Did you see that?!” exclaimed Barley.
“Course I did!” said Carmel.
“What was that??!!?” shouted Zack.
Freddie was still starring at the sky and he soon saw some weird shinny creature that was coming towards them. When the creature was close enough, Freddie saw that there were two creatures. One was a colorful unicorn with a charming crown and the other was a human-like creature but she had transparent wings attached on her back.
“Hello fellows…” said the human-like ‘thing’.
“Who-o and wh-what are you?” said Freddie.
“Don’t be afraid. Me a Charmie… That’s what me people are called. Let me introduce me-self. Me name is Mo-rin Strife. This is me friend, Samvie Leonhart the Charmie Unicorn,” introduced Mo-rin.
Mo-rin had white long hair and she was dressed like an elegant princess. She looked gorgeous and she was only a teenager. The unicorn, Samvie looked marvelous with all those colors covering his whole body. Both Mo-rin and Samvie had sparkles and glitters on their bodies; they said that all Charmiez (plural for a Charmie) should have them.
“Where do you come from Mo-rin?” asked Carmel curiously.
“Like me said before… Me a Charmie… Me and Samvie come from Charmiez. Me think it’s like 100,000,000,000 miles from this green earth. It had been a long, long journey you know. But me glad that we’re finally here now,” answered Mo-rin.
By this fascinating incident, every night, the six best friends always came to visit the hill near the Ark Park because that was the place where Mo-rin and her unicorn were staying while they were on earth.
Like before, days pasts by really, really fast and then a few weeks pasts by. It was time for the two Charmiez to come home to where they come from. It was time for good-bye…
“Thanks guys, for making my time here so great and monderful. I won’t forget all of you in my life,” said Mo-rin.
All of them hugged each other and Samvie also came and licked all of the six pals. Mo-rin and Samvie returned home after the farewell… Mack, Zack, Barley, Carmel, Freddie and last Kevin thought that it was very weird to have so many things happening in their life in an instant. But they thought that maybe it happened to them so that they can know more about friendship.
Maybe you think this is a funny and weird story. The story that has a weird ending but this story was only meant to teach about friendship. Last, they all lived happily ever after with being friends all their life…
As you notice, the title of the story had a question mark on it. Maybe you can answer it after reading this right? Yup! The answer is F.R.I.E.N.D.S.H.I.P

Hahahaha… Weird right? Well, this is the end of the story… Like any other stories,
This is:

Love By A Shove - Irene

Once upon a time in Spira, Yazoo, a handsome but somehow geeky but kind-of-tough guy, was on his way to a supermarket called Geostigma (G-O). He had long and white silky hair, black cloak and wavy pants for his body ornaments.
As he reached G-O, he went through his shopping list…
“Right, what I need are some carrots and cabbages from the veggies area, some fresh salmon and squids for my sushi dinner and also soft drinks and green tea leaves for guests…”
BANG!
“OUCH! Hey four eyes, don’t you have eyes?” A girl that had a *HOT* body was knocked down by the push of Yazoo’s strong shoulders.
“I’m sorry, you alright?”
“Yeah, help me up right now!”
Coincidentally, a handsome guy with spiky silver hair popped out of nowhere and asked whether the girl that was knocked down by Yazoo was alright or not.
“Jenova! Are you alright… Hey you, what’re you freakin’ doing here?”
“Sorry, I knock- YOU! You were the one who broke my arm 2 years ago! You’re Loz aren’t ya?!”
“What if I am? This is my girl; you knocked her down did ya, specs?”
“It wasn’t on purpose, though it’ll be better if it was you…”
With a furious face, Loz grabbed Yazoo’s collar, “If you ever, ever, dare to show your face in front of me and my girl again, you will hope to never experience a day in this world again!”
“Whatever, freak…”

A few days later, Jenova, the beautiful young lady with dark brown hair with blonde highlights, was waiting for Loz to pop up in the spot where they were supposed to meet for a date. Out of nowhere…
“Hey, what’re you doing?!”
     “… Follow me…”
Jenova followed the guy, expecting that it will be a surprise from Loz. But it turned out to be…
“LET GO OF ME!”
…a rapist.


In another area but close to the where Jenova was, Yazoo was whistling his way to a bookstore. Then he heard someone screaming in the nearby park. It was at night, so it was kind of hard to see anything, because there were no lampposts in an isolated park like that. He looked and looked, until he found a shadow moving so frantically and he ran over with the thought of helping.
“Don’t just stand there! I need hel-UMPH!”
…
*SILENCE*
Yazoo squinted and looked for any signs of gesture, as he was checking the area with his hands forward…
“Oh, skin!” Yazoo exclaimed as he touch a very soft and smooth material.
“Umhh… Hurp mmem…”
“Help me?”
He took out his cell phone and shone it towards the mumbling.
“Who are you?”
“Kadaj… (Hey, why am I introducing myself?) Why would you ask that?”
“Get your hands of her!”
“Make me…”
“You’re raping her, right?”
“Get away!” He kicked Yazoo out of the way and ran off carrying Jenova.
“GET BACK HERE YOU COWARD! IF YOU WANT HER, STEP OVER MY DEAD BODY FIRST!!!”
Yazoo ran and ran after Kadaj. He caught up with them because Kadaj can’t stand carrying Jenova anymore.
DUAK!
“Hosh… Hosh…”
A punch from Kadaj’s hand went flying onto Yazoo’s cheek.
“Argh… You wanna fight?”
DUAK!
Yazoo avenged himself.
“GUARGH!...” Kadaj wiped his lips from the blood he coughed out. From Kadaj’s pocket, a knife suddenly appeared in his hand.
“Ehahahaha… You won’t get away from me…” Kadaj hissed with an evil laugh…
“HE’S A FREAK!” Jenova screamed.
“Stay back, Jenova, I’ll protect you till the end of my life…” Yazoo said as he was backing away from Kadaj.
“HEEAH!!!” exclaimed Kadaj as he was pointing his blade and running towards Yazoo.
HIIAAT! Yazoo stopped Kadaj’s hand with his palm by hitting onto Kadaj’s hand before Kadaj’s blade reached him.
“What… are you…” Kadaj was so furious because he missed his attack.
“There’s no going back now, slowpoke!” Yazoo raised his clenched fist and knocked Kadaj on his cheek and sent him away for about 3 metres.
“Cih…” Kadaj ran away with his hands on his face, wishing that Yazoo didn’t spoil his beautiful face (his self-proclaimed opinion).
*     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     *     
“Jenova, are you alright?” Yazoo asked her cautiously, avoiding an emotional breakout from being frightened of a tragedy by being nearly raped.
“Y-yeah… I’m fine… Thanks for saving me…”
“Really? Do you want some covering a bit?” (Her clothes were ripped of some parts.)
“That’d be great, but I can’t really get some now…”
“You can have my skirt…”
“O-okay, thanks…” (Skirt? Isn’t it supposed to be shirt?)
Just as Yazoo was taking off his shirt, a man suddenly shouted out:
“JENOVA, where are you?”
“Here, Loz! HERE!!!!!!”
Loz came running and spotted that Jenova’s clothes were ripped off some parts and was likely to be raped by Yazoo, who was beside her.
“Yazoo…CURSE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Wha- wait!!!”
BAK!!!
DUASH!!!
BANG!!!
JEDUAK!!!
“Lozzy, stop!!! Don’t you hit that man!!!”
“Oh, now you’re defending him, witch?!”
“GET AWAY FROM HIM!” Jenova was screaming so loudly that it kind of shocked Loz up.
“Urgh… What the hell were you doing?” Yazoo was so fed up that he kicked right on Loz’s stomach until he coughed blood. The stains dripped to his shirt like a blood thirsty man who had his job done.
“Urgh… Dang…”
“It was your fault that you acted without thinking,” Jenova said to Loz.
“What did I do?”
“You thought you were saving me from a rapist, but Yazoo was the one scaring the guts of the rapist before you came!”
“Rea-really?”
“Yes”
“I’m…sorry…”
“You should be. Plus, you were late for our date… I cannot stand you anymore… You’re too rough and always acted without thinking. You always think of fighting and never want to forgive anyone. You even nearly killed my saver if it wasn’t for me who stopped you! You should learn self – control!”
“I’m sorry…”
“I want to break up…” *sobs* Jenova ran to Yazoo and slumped herself onto him crying.
“GET OFF-, I… okay, fine… I’ll let you go… but don’t you ever try to defend him again in front of me, because I can’t stand the burning fire inside me that hurts when you do so,” Loz said as his face reddening.
“It means you’re still in love with her…” Yazoo suddenly said that to make a joke…
“Cuih… Whatever…”

“Yazoo, I’m sorry for what my boyfriend did to you…”
“Ex – boyfriend…”
“Yes…erhm, I, uh, um…”
“WO-WOULD YOU BE MY GIRLFRIEND?” Yazoo shouted out the words that made Jenova jumped.
“That’s-, oh, I, I’d love to…”
“Let’s go then…”
“O-okay…”
They kissed…
And they lived happily ever after, because that’s probably what (a girl) everybody wants…

untitled - by Ian

Long-long ago, in the kingdom of Dalaran, a few years before the prince Arthas was born. The ruler of Dalaran was young King Terenas, son of the great leader Arcanas. King Terenas was confused by the thoughts of the orcs invasion to the city. The orcs had also raided the other towns and cities nearby, leaving Dalaran as one of the last city survivors. The only allies left were the wizards of Stratlholme, but because the city was located to the far south, no one could reach it without being attacked by orcs. The ambassadors had figured that the reason why the orcs didn’t invade Stratlholme was because they knew that fighting the wizards would be folly and would end up with the orcs getting killed.
Meanwhile, in a village in the outskirts of Dalaran, lived a hardworking peasant named Uther. Uther lived in a farm and had always relied on his crops and his works for his own needs. He had always dreamt of becoming a knight who served the royal family and fought against the orcs. Although that dream seemed impossible to be fulfilled, but he always believed that one day it would come true if he had tried his best to do whatever it takes to fulfill the dream. That evening, Uther was tilling the soil for his seeds. Just then, he heard a scream coming from the forest, followed by running footsteps.
Uther immediately took his broken sword and ran into the forest to find out. On his way, he saw tracks of horse hooves and pieces of broken swords. Standing on the bridge was a lady who looked quite worried. Uther had asked her what happened and in reply, she said that her prized possession had been stolen by a bandit.
Hearing this, Uther ran immediately to the forest to capture that thief. At last he arrived at a clearing. He saw that the place looked like a camp, and in front of a broken tent, he saw a bandit, half dead because of severe bleeding. In front of him was a broad looking dwarf with a long beard holding a giant axe.
“HOW DARE YE THRASHED THROUGH MY TENT, AND YE STILL TRIED TO KILL ME? WHO DO YE THINK I AM?” roared the dwarf.
The bandit shrieked in terror as the dwarf threw him back into the forest. Seeing this, Uther was amazed with the strength of the dwarf and approached him.
“Excuse me, did you happen to take anything from that bandit that may seem to be valuable?” asked Uther.
“Hmmmm?” said the dwarf as he turned around, “Ye mean this?”
He tossed something that looked like a pendant.
“What are ye doin here anyway?” asked the dwarf.
“I came here to retrieve that item for a lady” replied Uther.
“I see you have a good heart lad. What’s yer name?” he asked.
“Uther. My name is Uther. By the way I saw you fight that bandit you were amazing! Might there be any chance for me to join you in whatever you’re in?” Uther asked.
“HAHAHAHA so ye wish to join me? Someone like ye might not last very long in a fight. But yer quite interesting; I’ll give ye a deal. If ye could at least help me catch a boar for dinner I might consider letting ye join us! Oh and by the way, names Muradin.”
After introducing each other, Uther set off deeper into the forest to look for some boars. He was walking through the bushes when he smelt a delicious scent. He sneaked behind a tree to find out, what he saw was so horrifying that he nearly screamed! Standing in front of a bonfire were two big fat ogres arguing over who should eat the roast boar.
The first ogre said,” Me catch this boar first, so me eat it first!”
“No! This my food! Last time I catch and you eat it!” said the second.
Uther thought of a bold plan to steal that boar while those two ogres were quarreling. Although the risks were high, Muradin might give a second thought on him. So Uther sneaked near the bonfire by moving stealthily through the bushes and hiding behind the giant boulders.
Just when he was about to take the boar from behind a boulder the first ogre noticed him,
“Look, look a human!” The second ogre said,
“Let’s catch him and eat him!”
Immediately those two ogres charged after Uther. Uther ran as fast as he could and just about when those two ogres caught him there was a loud explosion along with screams of pain. Following it were more explosions, and the two ogres collapsed to the ground. Behind the dead bodies were several dwarves holding something that looked like a stick with a metal tube.
Standing among them is Muradin, shaking his head while exclaiming, “Are ye nuts? Taking on two ogres by yerself? Well at least yer safe.”
He then stopped for a moment and then said again, “Congrats! Ye passed the test! Starting tomorrow ye should bring yer stuff and set a tent in our encampment. And don’t worry I’ll train ye and give ye better equipment.”
The next day, Uther brought all his belongings to Muradin’s camp. When he arrived, he saw that the camp was crowded with dwarves who were busy eating their breakfast. Just then Uther heard a familiar voice, it was Muradin! He said that they had been asked to capture a few gnolls who had been poaching some of the farmer’s livestock.
“If we finish this job successfully, we’ll be given a reward of money and probably some valuable items. Oh and by the way, I fixed yer sword. Turns out it’s a blade made out of fine iron.”
Muradin handed Uther his sword and saw that it turned out to be very sharp!
“So, when do we start?” asked Uther.
“Right away! But before we leave, I should give ye this.”
He handed Uther a vial which contained some sort of green liquid inside it.
“It’s a potion. Use it when ye get badly hurt, yer wounds will heal quickly.”
Finally they began their journey to the heart of the forest. “What are gnolls?” Uther asked.
“Gnolls are similar to wolves but they can walk with two legs. They’re very vicious and will chase their prey till the end. They are a smart and better race than normal wolves so we should be cautious.”
Just then both of them heard a howl, followed by rustling sound of bushes. “They’re near, on yer guards Uther!”
Uther immediately unsheathed his sword. Then from the bushes out came two big gnolls with sharp looking claws and teeth. In a flash Muradin and Uther were surrounded by vicious looking gnolls. Muradin charged to one of them and slamming it to the ground. Then the other gnolls attacked Uther, he tried to push them back but it seemed useless. One of the gnolls rushed at Uther from the back and slashed his back and caused him to bleed heavily. Uther then turned his back and stabbed the gnoll’s heart and killed it. More gnolls appeared and surrounded Uther, but Muradin bashed them were all thrown back into the forest.
“That should do it. They wouldn’t dare to come back here again. Drink that potion I gave ye lad.”
Uther did as Muradin said and drank that bitter potion. He suddenly felt a tingling feeling in his back and touched it, his wounds are healed! “Whoa that was quick!” he exclaimed.
“Potions are all like that. In some places they sell potions with stronger effect than those. There are many kinds of potions, potions of invulnerability, potions of invisibility, and much-much more.” Muradin said. “All right then lad, lets get back to our camp an’ get our reward.”
Once they arrived, they saw a farmer waiting in front of Muradin’s tent. Uther recognized that man and called,” Dominic? Is that you?”
“Uther? What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you were the one who took care those gnolls.”
“I sure did!” said Uther proudly.
“Well enough of that where’s our reward?” asked Muradin.
“Errrr, you see, I don’t have enough money to pay you but I have some valuable information! Said Dominic.
“Spit it out!” replied Muradin.
“You see, king Terenas is running out of warriors to fend off the orcs. So, what I suggest you do is destroy them! Destroying the whole orc army would be impossible for you to do Uther, but if you kill the orc leader, they will leave their ranks and victory will be at hand! If you do so, King Terenas shall pay you handsomely.”
“Hmmm, what do you think Uther?” asked Muradin. “I say we go beat those orcs and give them a lesson!” said Uther with excitement.
“All right! That’s what I’d like to hear! But before we leave, we need to get some provisions for our journey.”
That evening, Uther and Muradin left to the Dalaran market square to buy stuff for their journey. Uther and Muradin kept stopping at shops only to buy food and Uther was starting to get bored. “Here’s our last stop.” Muradin said.
Uther looked at the sign and said, “Goblin storage shop? What kind of store is this?”
“You’ll see.” replied Muradin.
Once they got in, Uther saw that this place was different than the other shops. It was cramped with all sorts of stuff including pendants, potions, rings, and other things. Muradin immediately took what he wanted and put it on a counter where an old goblin sat while reading a book. Uther finally caught a glimpse of something interesting. A dagger with a weird ornamental handle was being placed on the top shelf.
“What’s this?” Uther asked.
“Muradin turned his head and observed the dagger with a confused look on his face and said, “Weird, I never seen anything like that in my life before.”
“The goblin turned his face up and said with a croaky voice, “That dagger belonged to the long ago thief Kelen. I retrieved it when he was executed for stealing a valuable artifact. I’ll tell you what it can do if you buy it.”
“How much?” asked Uther.
“Forty five gold crowns.” The goblin replied. “FORTY FIVE?” said Muradin in a surprised voice.
Uther looked at the dagger and thought about whether he should buy it or not. After some time of thinking he finally said, “Forty five gold crowns it is!” “Good good! Now as I promised I’ll tell you its function.”
The goblin then whispered to Uther something. After a while Uther finally nodded and left the shop with Muradin. It is night time when Muradin asked Uther,
“So, what can it do?”
“What?” replied Uther.
“You know, that dagger.”
Uther then gave a grin and said, “You’ll know it when you see it!”
The next day, Muradin ordered all his brethren to pack up and get ready for battle.
“Ye ready lad?” asked Muradin.
“Ready whenever you are!” said Uther.
At the break of dawn, the dwarven army marched towards the orcish encampment.
“We shouldn’t strike at the enemies main forces, it would mean suicide. Distract the enemy to the north by firing with our riflemen. Send our main force to attack the rest of the enemy to fend them off, meanwhile Uther and I shall strike at the enemy commander.” commanded Muradin.
From the north of the camp came a blast which surprised the orcs, it seemed some of the orcs got distracted but it was less than what Muradin expected. Muradin then decided to send another team to distract them. This time the orcs got even more suspicious and sent more forces to figure it out. Then, Muradin’s main army charged forth sending blasts of gunpowder to the enemy. Meanwhile, Muradin and Uther got busy looking for there leader. They chose the biggest tent of them all to look at but even before they got in, a tall orc wielding a gigantic sword stepped out and striked Muradin. He easily blocked the attack with his axes but is surprised with the orcs massive strength.
He was able to trouble me with the very edge of his sword, such monstrous strength! Muradin thought. “Uther! Attack him now!” Uther immediately unsheathed his sword and striked at him, but the orc created mirror images by using his amazing skill to fool Uther, but Uther kept confident. He unsheathed his dagger and swung it wildly in the air. After a few moments, Uther disappeared. The orc leader pushed back Muradin and slashed on his chest, leaving him unconscious. He looked around, desperately trying to find Uther but he was no where to be found.
Suddenly he heard footsteps from his back and instinctively swung his blade towards Uther and nearly hit him but Uther backed off. The orc leader ran towards Uther and swung his blade towards him, missing him and slicing a tent in two. The orc chieftain created mirror images to confuse Uther. Uther swung his dagger again and appeared somewhere else. The rest of the orcs were pushing the dwarven forces back and were winning. Uther tried to ignore the other orcs and concentrated on their leader. He gave one last try and swung his dagger and appeared behind the orc leader. Immediately he stabbed the orc through the chest, but it was merely a mirror image! “DIE HUMAN SCUM!” said a voice from Uthers back.
Just when Uther thought he was going to die he was wrong. The orc collapsed to the ground and the mirror images disappeared. Standing on top of the dead body was Muradin, although his chest had been slashed, it was merely an injury for him.
“Good job lad. Now let us bring back the orc’s blade and return to Dalaran.” said Muradin. The rest of the orcs saw that there leader was killed, and they immediately ran away.
The next day, Uther and Muradin went to king Terenas’s castle. “My lord, may I present to you, the blade of the orc leader.” said Muradin.
King Terenas’s eyes widened at this sight. “Who did this? Who killed the orc leader and brought peace to our land?” asked the king.
“I did.” said Uther triumphantly.
“What’s your name?” the king asked.
“Uther, my name is Uther.” he replied.
“From this day on, you shall become a paladin and shall serve at my side. Thus you shall be named, Uther the light bringer!” And after that day, Uther’s life changed forever. And that was the story, of how a peasant could become a great man!

A-N-N-O-Y-E-D - by Albert

“Beyond the steep mountains and across the greatest ocean.” Through the bleak woods and over the perilous valleys, there lay a small kingdom known as the Kingdom of Guilderland. In that kingdom lived a very lovely princess named……. “Fiona!!” Time to go to school!! Mom screamed while ruining my dream. “Mom!” You’re ruining my dream! Urgh! I had the most annoying mom in the world. Let me introduce. My name is Fiona and I had a very strange life, not like any other girls. I moved up very often, well since my parents were so obsessed in traveling. This is the 8th time I moved and my mom promised that we would never move again. But trust me, we’ll move again in about a year. Well, here I am stranded in the edge of Miami with my insane parents, a dog, two cats, two birds and a turtle. Today I’m starting a new day at a new house and a new school……
“Fiona! you’re going to be late!” Screamed mom.
“Mom, you’re just being to noisy and you just ruined my lovely dream.”
“Duh! It’s like 5 minutes till 7.”
“What! Oh my, I’m definitely late!!Gotta run!”
“Don’t you want some toast and juice?”
“Mom!! I’m serious! Its like the first day of school and I shouldn’t be late for sure.”
“Or maybe some milk?”
“Mom!! I’m just trying to pack my bags and go to school! Will you shut your mouth?”
“Oh! Do you want some pasta?”
“Mom!!! You’re very annoying! Gotta go! Bye!”
See! I’ve got an insane mom and a father which I barely meet. Dad says that he works all day long just for my school fee. Not until I saw him in the bar with some girls after not coming home for 2 weeks. He did not even make a single phone call and that’s when I started hating him and refuses to see him anymore. I’m currently at 9th grade and I’m so miserable that I have to go on a brand new school. Worst of all, this time I was so unfortunate that I went to a very bad school. I can tell it by just looking from its dull and old building. I past by the dirty-looking gate and I found that no one was there! I knew I was very late. I pushed the old wooden door and a cold breeze blew of my face. There was the main hall. Old and crooked with its ceiling almost filled with rust and holes. I was so damn shocked when I knew I went on a very ugly school. But where’s everyone? It was so silent that I can hear my own heart beating. Then suddenly someone touched me from the back. “ AAAAHHHH!!” I screamed so hysterically until one of the door handles fell down. “School starts at 9:30 young lady!” The old janitor says with a funny looking face.
I was so mad with my mom since she did not tell me that school starts at 9:30. When I got home, I pulled her and shouted.”School starts at 9:30!”
“So? What’s the matter?”
“I was running all the way to school, exhausted like this and you say so?”
“I didn’t know about that. Well it’s your fault! I’m not the one who’s going to school.”
“Uurgh!! You’re such an annoying mom!”
“Oh ! By the way, have you tasted the pie I made yesterday ?”
“Can you just stop talking for one day? Cause you’re just being like a radio! Never stops talking!”
I was very angry that I tried to run through the stairs and I tripped.”Auch!! “That hurts! Who would have designed such an ugly stair!!
“Well you’re just too clumsy and too hyperactive!”
“Mom !! Can you just please be quiet?!”
“Fiona! Do you want to watch some TV?”
“Mom!! Whatever.”
I started to head up to my room and I slammed the door when I entered. Why do I have such an annoying mom? She never understands me! I’m so exhausted and jumped onto my bed .CRACK!! A huge sound came from under my bed. UH! Why did she always buy useless things? Then I started to fall asleep and dreamed about a lovely prince who fell in love with me. Not until I heard the voice of mom laughing so hilariously and woke up. I looked upon the clock. Its 9:30AM……….AAAAAHHHHH!!! I shouted.
I was very late this time and it was real. I ran downstairs and tripped at the door. But I kept running to the school and by the time I got there, I took out my schedule and it showed 9:30-10:45= English. Room E56b.I shouted,”where the heck is room E56b??!!”
The hall was again silent when I reached it. From the edge of the hall, I heard noises and approached it. It said in the front door. Grade 9 English.Mr.Johnson.p-Room E56b.Just in time!! But a lady from the other edge of the hall shouted. “Hey you!! You’re very late! Come here! I’ll give you a detention!” She shouted. “I’m not late!! I was just going…err…I mean...Whatever!!” Bye. I slipped when I opened the door and fell down with all my things scattered all over the floor. “Everyone, here comes the clown!” shouted Mr. Johnson. “Are you Fiona?”
“Yes ,its me.”I replied
“Do you have any idea what time it is?”
“Emm..it’s…9:50?”I replied with a pity voice.
“You’re extremely late!”
“But I’m only late for like 20 minutes! It’s not extremely late!”
“Young lady, school starts at 6AM!” The whole class laughed while staring at me as if I’m a weird clown or something. The rest of the period I spent feeling dumb and stupid.
Mr. Johnson was quite a strange man. He has a long beard and a funny-looking nose. Well he was not that nice anyway, besides I think he’s the meanest and dumbest teacher I’ve ever met. He even asked me how to spell “apple” and when I answered it, he says that apple should be spelled apele. When I said no, he threw a marker to me, saying “You’re a very dumb girl who even can’t spell apple!” He’s just as annoying as my mom.
The classmates were not either kind or nice. No one even tried to speak to me or even ask for my name. They just stare at me as if I was a weird clown, except for one girl. She sat next to me and often smiled nicely to me. Then she whispered. “Everyone looks at you since you’re dumb, and I think that you are even worse than my dog! He’s way smarter than you anyway!!” She whispered with an unpleasant voice, similar to an old witch.
I was so surprised that I slapped her accidentally. She screamed “Mr. Johnson!! She said you’re a dumb and brainless teacher!!” Mr. Johnson stared at me and said “If I’m dumb then you’re dumber and if I’m brainless then you have no brain! What an awful young lady!” The whole class was laughing at me. I was again so annoyed that I threw a pencil to him. He approached me grabbed and pulled me. He dragged me towards the end of the hall saying”Ms Fiona, you were getting a detention for your awful, disrespectful, dumb attitude!!
He pulled me into one of the room in the other corner of the hall. It says in the door, Principal’s Office-Mrs. Brown – room A12E. “I’m not going inside!!” I shouted. “No you will and you must!!” he pulled me towards the door but I offended by biting his hand and pulling back. I think he was so mad that he grabbed both of my hands and pushed me towards the door. I tripped and fall down. In front of me was an old lady sitting on a sofa, drinking some coffee. “What on earth will enter a room like that!” she said cruelly
She come towards me and said “You’ll get a detention after school with me!”
She was such an annoying woman, giving a detention for just entering the room improperly.
The bell rang and I went out of the room. Everyone was just like an alien. Wearing those weird and freaky clothes, walking just like idiot peoples. It was lunch time and I headed up to the canteen. It was so damn overcrowded. Everyone was pushing around, throwing foods and jumping on the benches. I said to the cook “ Can I have one pasta please?” Then she replied. “No and definitely no!”
“ Why not?”
“The pasta is only for good-looking woman and not for dumb-looking girl like you!”
“Well that’s silly!” You’re just acting to weir….Ouch!! She threw a sandwich onto my face. “Go and eat that sandwich dumb girl!” I was so annoyed that I threw the sandwich back to her. Then she threw me a tomato. I grabbed a handful of spinach and threw it to her. She then threw to me a bowl of tomato sauce. We started to have food fight and suddenly, Mrs. .Brown touched my back. “Ms. Fiona, if you kept acting like this, I will giv…….Ouch!! I threw a sandwich to her face accidentally. “How dare you!”Eat this! She threw another sandwich to me. Then suddenly everyone started to have food fight. The canteen was in a whole mess. I sneaked out of the canteen, ran towards the door and went out of the school. The whole school was just so annoying.
I open the door of my house and shouted “Mom!! Where are you?”
“What’s wrong honey?You smelled funny!!”
“What kind of school is it that you sent me to?!”
“The Princeton high school my dear.”
“It’s such a disaster!” Everyone’s all crazy, dumb and weird!
“You’ll survive!”
“No I cant!! Its such a low-quality school with all those crazy teachers!!”
“Do you want to go the gym?”
“No I don’t want!! Mom, can you just listen to me?!”
“Why don’t you go to the market and buy some carrots?”
“Mom! Why do you kept on ignoring me as if I’m a wall or something?”
“No I don’t! Well it may take a lot of time for you to adapt with that new school.”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. “Mom! You open it.”
“No you go there and open the door”
“Mom!” You’re too annoying. I opened the door and there was Mrs. Brown, wearing a bluish skirt and a red shirt. She was holding a book and a pencil. “Good afternoon Ms.Fiona!”
“What are you doing here?” I asked .
“Can I see your parents? I was going to report to them what you just did at school.”
“Well, mom’s not home.” I was a perfect plan to lie, not until…..”Fiona!’ Who’s that?” said my mother.”Good afternoon ma’am.” I’m the principal of Princeton High School.
“ Yes? So?” What about it. Mrs. Brown pushed through my mom and entered the house.
“ I will read the school rules of Princeton High School!!” First. To be late for more than 2 hours refers to an automatic detention and your daughter had been ignoring that rule.
“ But it’s like my first day of school!” I offended.
“Second! “ Ms. Fiona had been very disrespectful by throwing a sandwich to me.And that, according to the school rule , refers to another automatic detention! “ But , it was an accident!’’ I tried to explain. But she kept on ignoring me. “Well ,going out of the school during school time is a definite DETENTION!” So unfortunately, more than two detentions in one day means EXPELLED!!! My mom dropped her mouth when she heard that. She looked at me and said. “Fiona! You’re dead!!” I knew that she was very infuriated by just looking into her face . Mrs. Brown was just smiling and seems very annoying, so did my mom. I was just about to run when something hit me on the face and I woke up.
I realized that I was dreaming in the plane to Miami. I found mom sitting next to me and dad in front of me. “ Wake up fiona!” Said mom. “ What time is it?” I Asked.
“ You’ve been sleeping for four hours !”
“Why are you waking me up!”
“ What on earth has happened to you?” You asked me to wake you up in 4 hours!
“OH! By the way, what school will I go to?”
“Do you want some juice?”
“Mom, what’s the name of the school that I will go to!!”
“Or maybe some coke?”
“Mom! What is the name of the school!!” You’re just too annoying.
“Well, well..”
“What is it!!”
“ Well, it’s P-R-I-N-C-E-T-O-N H-I-G-H S-C-H-O-O-L!!”
“Oh no!!” I’m dead……………..
