Recently we read The Last Quentista. Then we made our Ideal Worlds. To do this we worked with Peg Gignoux to make our own pictures and then collage them. After that we wrote our own stories. My story is below!
My Ideal World
Drakonia
When I woke up on this planet, people started asking questions, and somehow I was giving answers. How did I know them? I don’t know. The only thing I seemed to remember was this one word: Drakon. Wait, that sounds like dragon. Oh, I get it. There is a dragon next to me and next to the other people. It must be mine, but that doesn’t answer my question about that word appearing in mine. “Yes, it does.”
I see the dragon getting up. “Hello,” it says.
“WHAT?” I think as I faceplant.
“Ughh… what happened?” I say. I open my eyes to see a dragon’s face right before my eyes.
“Hello,” it says.
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaa” I scream. Just when the dragon realizes I won’t stop, he smacks me in the face three times, and everything goes black.
“I really have to get used to this.” I think to myself as I get up.
“Hello, I am Drakon. What is your name?” The dragon says.
“My name is… I don’t remember.”
“Well, hello, I don’t Remember.”
“No, I mean, I really don’t remember.”
“Well, then I will call you Aelius. Are you fine with that?”
“Yes”.
I looked around and scouted my surroundings. I was in a small house. I walked outside, and immediately I smelled roses, flowers, and baked goods. I looked up and saw a sun. “Hmm,” I thought. “It must be a Red Dwarf.”
“Correct you are,” a voice says.
“Wait, you can read my mind?” I say.
“Yes, I can.”
Drakon, the dragon, I know a weird name, picks me up and throws me on his back. Suddenly, I find myself flying over an ocean, watching giant sea monsters rise up and down the waves like butterflies flying on an air current. Then, out of nowhere, a city appears.
“A city, is there a government?” I say.
“Yes, there is. The government is ruled by the Supreme Sovereign, but don’t worry—you will meet him soon enough.”
After he said those words, I felt shivers up my spine.
“I said you have nothing to worry about because the Supreme Sovereign is a fair person, and you have nothing to fear.”
“Yeah, like that helps.” I thought.
“I heard that!”
We land on a pavilion on the government building and the doors swing open.
“Ahh… Aelius. I have been expecting you.” A new voice says.
“Who are you, and how do you know my name?”
“You should know.”
The figure turns around, and a huge dragon faces me—bigger than anything I have ever seen. Just then, I remember that dragons can read your mind. I see Drakon bowing, and I realize I should do the same.
“Stop,” the Supreme Sovereign says. “I want you two as a group to go on a quest. Lately, there has been a bunch of people missing. About ten every day. I want you to find the source of this problem and destroy it.”
“Okay, Supreme Sovereign. We won’t disappoint you!” I say as we fly out of the building.
We travel to the village and find that someone has just been kidnapped. The person was a merchant sleeping in his bed. Drakon and I enter the house to see a giant hole in the wall. We walk through the hole to see tracks leading into the woods.
“Drakon, what could have caused this?” I say.
“Demons, Aelius, Demons.”
We follow the tracks into the woods and see a giant boar. This boar was different from usual because it had tusks made out of gems. When we walked by the boar, it got spooked and ran off. Then suddenly, my belly rumbled. It was lunchtime. I sat down as Drakon ran into the woods and came back with an antelope. Why would there be an antelope in the woods? I don’t know; I only know that it was delicious. Also, we made its gem horns into a sword so I could fight the demons. Apparently, demons can only be hurt by gems, angels, and dragons. After lunch, Drakon located a cave with the demons, and we flew to the scene.
“What should we do with this person?” Says demon 1.
“just chuck it into the portal. The master will be happy.” Says demon 2.
“Too late, foul being of the abyss. We have found out your plans.”
We literally jump the demons. I would have actually been able to do something, but since there were only two demons, it was over in an instant. Drakon just shot fire, and the demons were smoking ash.
“Why didn’t you do something?” Drakon says.
I replied, “The fight was over before it began.
“Oh.”
Well, then I, I mean we, closed the portal and flew back to the village. When we arrived, it was night. So I lay down wondering about the demon’s master and tried to go to bed. I couldn’t go to bed because Drakon woke me up.
”You have to put your headpiece on.”
So I put it on and get sucked into a room of color.
“Choose your avatar.” It said.
So I chose my avatar and got sucked into a world of wonder.
