Thanks~ ^^

I've had a fairly good week~ How is everybody? ...Today IN Language Arts, my teacher caught me doing math homework... And he announced it out so everybody's attention was on me... And then a stupid jerk made it worse. I didn't get detention or anything, but I was ready to cry... *sigh* I'm horrible.

Shade woke up in his bed or at least he thought it was his bed. He looked around and realized he was in a room at the inn. He remembered stumbling in, bleeding badly from his left arm. The Dragon’s Head Inn. That was where he was. He looked around for his things. When he spotted a chest near the foot of the bed, he stopped and looked at it for a second before opening it. When he tried to open the chest, he found it stuck and each time he tried, the gash in his arm opened a bit more. He walked out of his room to go and ask the inn keeper for the key to the chest. She said he couldn’t take the key but she said that she’d follow him to his room to open it. What he found inside was astonishing: A set of 200 steel arrows, an elven mace, steel armor, and a bow of shadows. I thanked the inn keeper and paid 10 gold for the room. I stumbled out the door feeling light headed from the loss of blood. I walked over to a familiar house and knocked on the door. “Who is it?” asked a woman’s voice. “Sincerely I don’t know my self.” I told her. Click. “Oh, Shade, I’m glad to see you.” She said with a smile. “I haven’t seen you since, well since Charlie went off to join the Imperial army.” “Ok, first of all I want to know who you are, and two I want to know who I am.” “Shade, of all people you should know me, we’ve been married for 3 years now.” I thought for a moment before saying anything. “Wait, so my name is Shade and you’re my wife, then why don’t I remember anything about you.” “You have been a way a while so maybe something happened.” “I guess. Do you have any idea why I might be home from wherever I went.” “No, sorry I don’t.” “Well I need to find the nearest town to the north, I think I might find something there.” So I started north towards Featherstone after having slept in my house with my wife, Maddey, I found my way to the town trader and bought a few supplies with the remaining gold I had left. The road to Featherstone was a little longer than I expected it took about a day and a half to get there. I found an inn and stayed the night before I went out to find the latest gossip. According to the town guards a dragon was seen flying towards the north guard tower. I thought I heard a lot in the last few days but I guess I didn’t hear it all. I went to the tower and ask the guard in charge if I could help. “Hello, I am here to help you.” “Well we don’t need your help we are perfectly fine fighting the dragon on our own.” “Well if you insist.” I said casually. “Captain!” said a guard. “You need to get to the top of the tower, we have spotted the dragon.” “Fine.” I followed the captain up the stairs and waited at the top. When the captain saw the dragon he shouted for all the guards in the tower to get out and start fighting. I ran down the steps and pulled out my bow. My aim to everyone’s astonishment was perfect. I hit the dragon every time I let an arrow fly. After about 20 minutes the dragon lay near the tower dead. I went over and got as many scales off its body as I could. I thought about how tough these scales were and thought about making armor out of it. Thankfully they were light. I started towards Featherstone again to find an armory. I talked to the women standing behind the bar if she could make me a set of light and smooth armor out of the scales. She said she would try, but it would take quite a while for them to be smoothed and it would also be a hefty price. I told her it was fine and that everything would be paid in full. I found a general goods stall and bought a map of the province. I had to find where the high king was. I just felt it was important. After the incident at the tower the guards would probably have told their general. They would probably not tell the general that I pretty much single-handedly took down the dragon. I headed towards the town of imperials and while on the way I found a courier and told him to bring a message to the king of the territory and the general. Saying that I needed an audience with them. The courier asked who it was from and I told to just put down a friend. On the way I thought about what I should say to the king and the general. I thought about what to say about the dragon and about what will happen if there are any other dragons. I arrived on the first day of leaf fall. I found an inn and asked for direction to the castle from here. The inn keeper said to go past the blacksmith and continue right. I followed the direction he gave me and ended up lost. Finally I asked a guard to bring me to the castle. “Why do you need to go the castle?” “Because I have an audience with the king.” “Very well, but if you’re lying then you’ll spend a bit of time in a cell.” He said with a crooked smile. We walked towards the castle. He led me to the throne room. The king was arguing with a guard about the dragon at the tower a few days ago. “Excuse me your majesty, but he dragon was real.” I said as calmly as I could. “I took it down my self.” “Please tell me this was the guy who outwitted all the guards at the watch tower.” “Your Majesty, if I may but yes it was I. I was the only archer who could even hit it.” “Th, th, the only one.” The king stammered. “Yes sir.” Said the guard. “I did what had to be done, but yes I was the only one.” The king wanted me to follow him to his private hall and tell him all that happened. I went out on a limb and followed the king to his chambers and then told him entire story. I told him everything from the time I awoke in the inn, to the present. He told me I could stay in his castle for a while until I recuperated. So I decided it was in my best interest to stay for a while. The next day I decided to leave after the king woke. I left on the morning on the first of summer. I thought about the new way of calling the seasons and didn’t like it. Well anyway I headed towards Reaverton to find any news about the dragon I killed. When I got there the town’s guards were fighting a brigade of bandits. I drew my bow, notched an arrow and let it fly. It hit a bandit square in the chest and he dropped. The other bandits looked around in confusion. I notched another arrow and fired at another bandit, a few seconds later he dropped. They finally spotted me when I killed another of their comrades. They charged, and while they were a few paces away I slung my bow and drew my sword. (I hated using it, but I felt I could instinctively use it.) I slashed at the first one who came at me. They all stopped and stared at their comrade. They looked at me curiously for a second before another bandit cam at me. His sword was like a whirlwind, he was slashing erratically. He swung once, I blocked, swung twice, still blocked. He was about to swing his third but was caught from the side by a broadsword. The other guards had a renewed courage to slaughter the bandits. This is not my story. It belongs to my friend who wants feedback. Please comment about what you thought. He'd appreciate it! Thanks!
