Unfinished

I was halfway through writing my story, when I felt the pages of my book start to flip back and forth. At first, I thought it was the wind but when I checked, the windows were all closed. After a while it stopped, so I continued writing my story. A little while later, it happened again but way stronger than before. The book started shaking, it was as if the words were pouncing out of the book. All the words surrounded me, that's when it all went black.

When I opened my eyes I saw that I was in a village full of mythical creatures. I was about to faint again, but this elf-like creature approached me and asked, ”Who are you? What are you doing here?”

“I am Liam Clark” I replied.

“I’m Arel,” he said. “ Look human, you have to get out of here before you are spotted”

“But why?” I asked.

“It’s a long story I will tell you later, but for now just hide.”

I did as I was told and hid in a closet. I heard some footsteps approaching towards the closet.

The footsteps started to fade when Arel distracted them away. After a little while I heard Arel come so I came out of the closet.

“That was close,” said Arel.

“So, can you tell me why I had to hide?” I asked.

“Ok but on one condition.” he said “You have to get away from me before I get into any trouble because of you.”

“Fine,” I agreed.

“Long ago there was only one human alive on this land, his name was Noah. Since Noah was the only human to have ever come on this land, he started to become more and more popular, he started to gain people’s trust very quickly. As time went by, people started liking Noah more than the king. Seeing this, the king got very angry and jealous. The king sent assassins to capture Noah. Once Noah was captured the king executed him in public. So even though people may like humans, the king hates humans. The king made a law of killing any humans on

sight.”

“I swear I have heard that somewhere, but I can’t remember where.” I thought to myself.

“There you heard the story,” he said. “Now scram before someone sees you with me.”

So I left his workshop quickly making sure no one saw me. When I was sneaking past the village, I saw an abandoned house.

“It is getting dark,” I said to myself “I can stay in there for the night”

As I entered the house I noticed that the house was a mess, if I wanted to stay there I would probably have to clean it up. So, that's what I did. A little later, I found something Interesting, a book. I opened it and started reading the book. The book read,

“Whoever reading this, has to help this village. You may be wondering who this person is and what they are talking about, well I am Noah Beck and I am writing this in my last moments, hoping someone will read this someday. The king is trying to make the whole village have trust in him so that he can destroy the village. The king is not himself anymore, he has been taken over by an evil Minotour. So I tried interfering by gaining the trust of the village, seeing that the king got very angry and sent assassins after me. I am being hunted down by the king's assassins. If you are reading this please save the village by killing the Minotour”

I finally remember where I heard the story of Noah, the book that I was writing follows a similar plot. A human wakes up in a village full of mythical creatures, sees an elf that tells him the story of another human getting executed, humans are not safe and going into an abandoned house.

Which means that I am in my own story and I am the main character. Since I had only written half of the story, I have to figure out the other half.

I will have to kill the king to save the village and end the story, so I can leave the book.

Right away I left for the king’s castle. But I thought to myself, “I will not be able to fight the king and his army alone.” I need the people's support. So I went to the village and showed the whole village the book that shows the king's true intentions. Most people believed me and came with me to the castle. We easily defeated the king's guards and went to the throne room.

There he was sitting on the throne, smiling. “Oh, welcome human,” said the king. “I see you’ve got quite the army here, maybe it’s time for me to come into my real form.”

Saying that the king transformed into the Minotour.

Seeing the king as the Minotour everyone got scared, But I reminded everyone that, “If we all work together we will be able to kill him.” Everyone got their hopes back up and we started to fight the Minotour together this time. But we still couldn’t fight off the Minotour, he was way stronger than us.

All hopes were beginning to crumble. Until we saw creatures with long bodys like snakes but with wings, they were dragons!

With the dragons on our side we easily destroyed the Minotour. After killing the Minotour, I thanked all the creatures for helping me in this battle.

Seeing that I was such a good leader the village voted me as their new king. The story was finished, which meant that I could finally go back to reality.

After coming back to Earth, I finished the story and published it. My story that you just finished reading is now one of the top sellers in Canada. Hope you liked it!

The End
