Prologue
Once in a small village there lived a young boy named Luke who lived with his mother, father and 12 brothers.
âMother, mother,â
âYes darlingâ said Melinda in a sweet tone.
âMother, remember you said that youâd take us to the axe and bow festival!â screamed John. John was Lukeâs 4 year old brother.
âLuke, Peter, Andrew, Edward, Alfred, Matthew, William, Casper, David, Benjamin, Nicholas, Richardâ, Melinda called.
âUgh, what nowâ thought Luke. Lukeâs family was very poor so Luke and his brothers had to work hard all day and night, they didnât get much rest at all, every day theyâd get up at 3:00am. Really it was quite exhausting.
âCome on off we goâ
âUgh, can this day get any worseâ thought Luke miserably, but boy did he know what was awaiting him.
Chapter 1 -The Letter
âCome on weâre almost thereâ Melinda said as they were walking to the festival.
âLook at that note pinned on that treeâ yelled John
âWell read it then Davidâ shouted Richard, Richard was the oldest, he was 17 years old and he loved to be in charge. David cleared his throat and read
âLadies and gentleman, I Sir Lancelot have opened a school for children ages 11-17. This school trains children how to become great heroes and wizards.
Classes:
⢠Spell class
⢠Archery class
⢠Self defence class
⢠Duel class
⢠Slaying class
⢠Creature class
⢠Studies of the past class
Cost: 2 silver piecesâ
âWell, we could do with thatâ muttered Nathaniel. Nathaniel was Lukeâs father âFather I want to go!â shouted Richard âno we need someone young to goâ
âCasper!â suggested John,
âToo chicken-hearted, ah Luke your goingâ.
âWho meâ Luke was most astonished to find that he was the one going.
âWhat about the money? How can we afford the cost?â sighed Melinda
âDonât worry about itâ. They all went set off to the festival except Luke, who just stood frozen on the spot. Thoughts were swirling in his mind, âwhat would this school be like?â he thought again and again and again. Early the next day Luke and his brothers were having breakfast when⌠bang the door slamed open and in stepped Nathaniel
âMelinda youâll never guess a local farmer came and bought all my wood for 30 pieces of silverâ Melindaâs face lit up with excitement; finally they could afford to send Luke to Sir Lancelotâs school. Straight away Melinda picked up a quill and scribbled down a letter requesting that Luke could go to Sir. Lancelotâs school. Three days later a letter arrived saying that Luke was accepted, along with a long list of supplies:
⢠A weapon
⢠A pet that is not mythical e.g. rabbit, dog, cat, rat or any creatures like these.
⢠A wizard staff or wand of your choice
⢠A method of transport such as Horse or Tiger.
⢠A collection of the following books:
⢠Beginners potion manual
⢠A guide to slaying- first year creatures
⢠Other books shall be provided
âMy gracious, this is all going to cost a lotâ sighed Melinda
âWell what are we waiting for lets go, I know the perfect placeâ Nathaniel said heading to the door. They got on a wagon drawn by beautiful white stallions with peculiar looking horns on their heads. Eventually they arrived at Royal Lion close.
âSo what should we get firstâ muttered Nathaniel miserably
âWhat about a pet firstâ suggested Melinda,
âLook thereâs the pet shopâ shouted Luke. In the window of the shop hung cages of all shapes and sizes, one of the creatures that hung in the cage nearest to them caught Lukeâs eye, it was a very beautiful bat with bright, shiny, red eyes, but the most beautiful thing of all was a shinning crimson Ruby right in the centre of itâs chest.
âLetâs buy himâ suggested Luke pointing at the peculiar Bat.
âOk thenâ muttered Nathanial going into the shop
âWeâll meet you in Lionâs library, ok honey.â Melinda called after him. Melinda and Luke set off to âTransport Incorporatedâ
âRight, the bat cost three silver pieces, so donât choose anything too expensiveâ shouted Melinda as Luke was stepping into the Stable like shop. In the stable there stood hundreds of Horses, Unicorns, Pegasus and all sorts of peculiar methods of Transport. A very strange type of unicorn he had never seen before stood in the middle of the stable; it was quite a funny site because it had gigantic griffin wings and a shining fiery horn. Around its neck there hung a label saying âGuphorjun-6 silver piecesâ, Luke froze for a moment, the whole reason why he had done this was that Guphorjuns were one of the rarest creatures in existence and he couldnât believe how cheap it was compared to how much it was supposed to cost. Luke ran straight up to a man dressed in rags and an old top hat and handed him six silver pieces,
âI would like that one please, sirâ he said in a confident voice whilst pointing at the Guphorjun.
âOk young man, you can have it, just go ahead and take itâ said the man in a western accent. Luke came out of the shop cheerfully, were his mum was waiting for him, in his hand he held a rope.
âWhat did you get darling?â Luke tugged at the rope and out of the stable like shop came the Guphorjun. Lukeâs mother froze with amazement
âHow much did that cost? It must have been worth all our money, we still have to buy the rest of the supplies and pay the school feeâ
âNo mother, it only cost six silver piecesâ
âWell thatâs a relief, lets goâ Melinda sighed with great relief. They went through the rest of the day buying each and every supply on the list; they got home very late indeed.
