Lover's Danger
By: Nicole
If you have just
picked this up you should know it's a story of love and danger. So my
friends let us begin.
Long ago in a time
not well remembered lived a dragon. His name was Org. Org lived on a
planet called Donwage in a galaxy called Zolocsta. Now if you wanted to
reach this place you would need to go through a million other galaxies
which not even I know the names of. For there are so many and some may
not even have a name.
Org was a light
green dragon. This in his culture meant that he was the gentlest of all
dragons. Org had many friends and was very much loved by his family. Yet
he had one tiny problem. He had never loved. Now Org was reaching his
fiftieth passing (which is like fifty years). As soon as he did, he
would be expected to marry. Every day he hoped to find his true love by
putting a sign outside his hut, singing at a cafe, or going to the
market and smiling at the dragonesses. Yet every day he failed.
As time moved on,
the annual Love Festival and Love Ball approached. Org hoped at one of
the festivities he would find his true love for this might be his last
chance. Without marrying at his fiftieth passing, he would disgrace his
family name and if he did, then he decided he would have to leave home.
If he had to leave home then he'd go out into the forest, wander around,
and then die from starvation.
At the Love Festival
all the fairest dragonesses were there. But none suited him. Until his
eyes settled on a beautiful dragoness in about her forty-ninth passing;
her name was Rebecca. Rebecca was a light red dragon. This in her
culture meant most beautiful. But all the other dragons were around her.
The big problem was that they were all more handsome than him. Org was
too shy to go up to her. So he followed her home and left a large metal
button necklace shaped like a heart on her but door. Little did he know
this would one day save her life.
Unfortunately Org
was not the only one who loved Rebecca. A dragon named Phoebeus also
loved her. Phoebeus was a very dark blue dragon. This in his culture
meant doesn't always take the right path. He was so determined to gain
Rebecca's love that in fact he had asked for her love many times. But
every time she refused. But Phoebeus would not be put down. So he had
once again tried at the festival. Yet Rebecca still refused him. He had
stormed off in such a rage that his dragon fire breath had burned fifty
farms as he did so. Right then
and there he swore, "if she refuses me again she will regret the day she
ever lived!" Know back to Org. He ran a Pananin (which is like a
newspaper). He delivered a Pananin to every but which included
Rebecca's. So one day he put a note in Rebecca's Pananin. It read:
Dear Rebecca,
I love you with
all my heart. Will you meet me in the middle of the of Love
Ball's dance floor at the fithy-eighth hour? -An Admirer
Rebecca squealed with glee as she read this for she too was looking
for her true love. But wait! The Love Ball was tonight! She would have
to get ready quickly. Of course with her natural beauty she'd just have
to slip into a dress and tie up her long auburn dragon hair.
Phoebeus also knew
of the ball that night and that everybody was going to be there
including Rebecca. He planned to kidnap her at the fithy-eighth hour and
force her to marry him.
That night Phoebeus,
Rebecca, and Org all waited impatiently for the fithyeighth hour.
Finally it was three mums (which are just like minutes) to the
fithyeighth hour. Org started to the middle of the dance floor when
suddenly he witnessed a masked man kidnapping Rebecca! At first he was
scared as a dragon about to be killed by a knight. He was so freaked out
he didn't know what to do. Suddenly he thought to himself, "In my
note to Rebecca I said 1 loved her with all my heart. What kind of
love would it be if 1 didn't at least try to save her?"
So forgetting his
fear, Org followed them to a dark and gloomy castle.
When finally he
kicked the door down (which by the way was 500 pounds while he was only
300 pounds) he saw Phoebeus taking off the kidnapper's mask. He was not
surprised because he knew what the deep blue meant in his culture. But
this meant Phoebeus was the kidnapper! Phoebeus tied Rebecca to a chair.
When Org heard Phoebeus beg for Rebecca's love, his heart pounded faster
and faster, until he heard her answer...
"Never!" she spat.
Phoebeus stormed off in rage.
Then Org saw his
chance. So he popped out and started untying the ropes around Rebecca.
He had just finished untying her ankles when he heard footsteps. He hid
just before Phoebeus came in with a dagger in his hand. Org was frozen
in place as the dagger struck Rebecca in the heart. Rebecca fell dead on
the floor. Phoebeus stood over Rebecca snarling at what he had done.
Suddenly all that
anger Org was holding against Phoebeus burst out. He kicked him then
pushed him against a wall. Surprisingly the wall gave way. Org let go of
Phoebeus, in surprise, who fell to his death because the room they were
in was 200 feet from the ground. Org stumbled over to Rebecca and pulled
the dagger out. Then a miracle happened...
Rebecca opened her
eyes! The dagger had hit the large metal button heart necklace which she
always wore around her neck. Org picked her up and told her about the
note. Rebecca said that she had loved the note. Suddenly they were
talking about their friends,' families, and lives. They found themselves
falling in love.
On the eve of his
fiftieth passing, Rebecca was Org's special guest. When Org asked
Rebecca to marry him, Rebecca happily agreed. Yet there was one more
problem. Would their families agree to a light green dragon marrying a
light red dragon? Then they both agreed that even if their parents
disagreed they would marry anyway. For their love was stronger than
anything. So Org and Rebecca announced their engagement. Their parents
disagreed at first. But when they saw how strong Org and Rebecca's love
was, they happily agreed.
I hoped you enjoyed
this. Remember there's someone out there for everyone. If you can't find
them now, you'll find them one day.
THE END
OR
A NEW BEGINNING?
