In the forest of Bob, where there were villages including: Gerlikraphyfieldsville, Tiphitry, Jubilee, and Lot. In the town of Gerlikraphyfieldsville, a village of more than 200 people, lived a boy named Xylon who lived with his mother and grandmother. Xylon's father, a trader, had left his wife and family to join the Jubilee army when Xylon was born.All that Timothy had left was half of his favorite gold coin which both wore around their neck, strung by a silver chain. Xylon had never known his father but always showed compassion for his father, while Xylon's mother only saw her husband as a liar and a trader. She had always cared about Timothy but was very disgusted with his leaving at the birth of Xylon.
Xylon had desired to be a warrior since he was very young. Penelope, regretting losing her husband already, would always try to convince Xylon to not be a warrior. She didn't want to lose her husband and her only son.
"Warriors are stupid enough to get killed," she would always tell Xylon.
But Xylon, much like his father, didn't care what his mother thought. He was trying to make some money for his family. Xylon went to work for Deimitris. Deimitris was an older man about in his late 80's he was known as the wisest man of the land. He was tough on Xylon and knew that Xylon didn't like to work, but Deimitris kept working from sun up till sundown. One day while Xylon was working in Deimitris corn fields Deimitris realized that Xylon was ready. Deimitris called for Xylon to come in his house because he had to show him something. When Xylon entered the room there was this beautiful armor hanging on the wall; it wasn't pretty and a little rusty, but the design on it was a symbol representing a fierce soldier. Deimitris urged Xylon to put it on, at first Xylon didn't want to but after Deimitris convinced him to try it on he felt like a true warrior. Through that whole month Deimitris taught Xylon everything he knew, from shooting a bow to fencing. In that month Xylon learned so much that he was finally confident to join the Gerlikraphyfieldsville army. Learning the same tactics in the army as Deimitris had taught him, his skills only improved. Not much time passed on before he learned that him and several others would be fighting in a battle soon- The battle of The Giant Snake!!!
When the time was coming for him and several others to fight the Giant Snake named Zotico he noticed that he best friend forever from when he was four years old, was also invited to fight in the great battle. They were very happy to see each other because they hadn't seen each other since they were four years old. It was fate but Xylon and Hithmus knew they were ready to fight Zotico the Giant Snake.
The Giant Snakes den was in the middle of the Heperanin Desert and no man had ever made it out of there alive, kind of like the Bermuda Triangle. When Xylon, Hithmus, and about ten other fighters arrived to fight the Giant Snake at his den they couldn't find him. The snake had been known for his cowardly ways and also his trickery, so the men were aware of this. All of a sudden there was this giant "rroooaarrr!!!" The men turned around and saw the Giant Snake and when they saw the beast's underbelly was a huge scar, they knew that this was his week spot. They turned around and five of there men were gone, then two more, three more there were no more people left except Xylon and Hithmus. So they looked into Zotico eyes and saw fear, so Hithmus and Xylon charged at the giant beast with there swords drawn. Hithmus jumped up and grabbed the giant's scales and end up toward head of the beast, with all of his might he stabbed his sword into Zotico's eye. With the snake injured and unable to see Xylon stabbed his sword into Zotico's scar under his belly. "aaaaaadlsfahhhahhahahhahhaha" the beast screamed like a little wossey. Whip-crack with his stubby tail- and the beast was done. Hithmus and Xylon took one of the teeth for there king for a gift to prove that the beast was slain.
When they arrived to give there king a the gift of the tooth from the Giant Snake. Their king was surprised and shocked to find his warriors alive with the tooth of a Giant Snake!!!!!! But the king had some bad news to tell his hero's that there was an evil ruler who was challenging any one to fight him if they were brave enough.
So the two friends went on a journey to fight the evil ruler who lived in the village of Jubilee. Upon entering the village, they met a poor man, dressed in rags, who was living on the street.Hithmus asked this poor and filthly man if he knew of this evil ruler. The man replied, "Yes, that evil man caused the famine in this village. He is the child of satan; why do you ask of him?" The men replied by telling him that they had been sent by their king to kill him for his evil doings. The man then told them, "He lives in the castle made of gold and bricks, that is surrounded by a tall fence made of thick bars. Xylon threw a rope with a stone attached to the end over the end. Then he took off the stone and tied that end to the bottom of the fence so that he could clime fence.As soon as the two got to the other side of the fence, they both stopped in astonishment because the evil man was now running at them very quickly, carrying a sword and covered in full armor except for a helmet. Panicing, Hithmus picked up the stone and threw it at the evil mans head, where it drilled him right between the eyes, knocking him out. Xylon hurried to the man to make sure he was dead. While checking the evil man's pulse, Hithmus was stabbed in the throat by the evil man who was pretending to be dead. Hithmus was now decapitated. In anger Xylon suddenly stabbed the evil man in the heart, killing him instantly. While grieving next to the body of his dead best friend forever, he noticed something shiny hanging around the mans neck- half of a gold coin. The first time that Xylon had seen Timothy he was pronounced dead. The End.
