impress the chief had nearly ruined mankind.
I went for the golden vase ignoring the writing and was about to put it in my leather sack when I realised my
hands were sweaty. I dropped the vase. That was the biggest mistake I have made my life.
I saw the golden pieces split in front of my eyes and blood splatter everywhere. Guilt was the only word in
my brain. A shadowy figure erupted itself from the pieces of my conscience on the ground. I have freed
something that meant to be locked up. I have freed evil.
I sprinted back through the dark temple and into the village, hoping the old and wise elders of the village
could help me. The village was put into fear. I confronted the elders. They cannot do anything.
This monster is a dragon. It used to be the pet of the Jade Emperor but it betrayed him. It plunged China into
a flood by creating storm from magic. The Jade Emperor sent a demi-god to earth: half human, half god. His
name was Mie Long. It means terminating dragon. He was born to take down this dragon.
He created a golden vase with his magic and trapped the dragon in it. He also put dog’s blood in it to
contain it. Dogs are the natural enemy of the dragon in the Chinese tradition, that’s why it could trap it. With the
mission completed Mie Long died at the age of 12; returning back to heaven, back to the Jade Emperor’s side.
Now that I have freed it from the cage it was now up to me to kill it. What a coincidence, when Mie Long
killed the dragon he was 8. I was exactly eight when I freed the dragon.
I took some simple supplies from the village and I went the opposite way the villagers went. I can see the
dragon in the air destroying China and it’s people, sending the people into chaos. Armies tried to fight against it
but it was a feeble attempt. They were wiped out with one sweep of the tail. How was I going to beat it?
I walked closer and confronted the dragon. It laughed with fury.
“
I am going to destroy China! This is all you sent me Jade Emperor?”
I can feel the hot air blown into my face. My body was instantly put to fear. I took cover behind a rock
while he was still laughing.
“
This little boy is pathetic! He is no god. How can he beat me?”
How dare it insult me? Anger raged from inside me. I stood up from behind the rock with fury inside my
eyes.
“
Who do you call pathetic you fool! You are the one who are pathetic!”
As soon as those words left my mouth I knew I was going to die. It is a dragon; I am a human. Of course I
was the weak one. I’ve got no choice I must at least weaken it, so my fellow people can finish it. I am willing to
sacrifice myself for my people!
The dragon breathed a fireball towards my face. A ball as hot and bright as the sun was hurling towards me.
I leapt out of the way and the ball just merely scraped my skin. Instantly pain shot up my leg. Excruciating pain.
I watered my burn with the water I brought with me. A stinging sensation is still left behind but I can still walk.
I can’t keep this up. I need to use another strategy. I tried to use a bow but my arrows bounced off the side
of the dragon’s skin uselessly. My weapons were useless but I must fight.
An overwhelming wave of heat suddenly erupted on the rock behind me. When I turned around to take in
what happened, it was too late. A giant fireball exploded in front of me.
I was leapt into a lake. Without the cool lake I would have died. I stood up from the water. Miraculously,
even after a fireball to the face I was still fine.
As I look up from the water I realised that everything had frozen, time, the dragon and everything else. I
knew this advantage wouldn’t last forever. I took an arrow, climbed onto a hill and pushed with my arrow out
on to the dragon’s back. Blood started to seep out under his skin.
Time regains conscience and the dragon lets out an ear-splitting roar. My arrow was dug deep into the
dragon’s back. Using the time I had left I took another arrow and pushed it into the same wound I’d made. This
sent the first arrow deeper into it. The dragon released a massive earthquake on it’s back and I was hurled onto
the ground. The dragon fell from the sky and with a final yell; it breathed the very last breath.
It’s body jerked and went epileptic. The contact on the ground when it fell created an earthquake all around.
A ray of sparkly golden light came down on me. Sudden warmth spread through every part of my body. Again,
time freezes. The trees went still and the wind stopped blowing. Everything was peaceful.
Along with the golden light, came pride and honour. I have achieved something that no human has done
before, with an exception of a demi-god. Also came down with the light, was the Jade Emperor himself. I
automatically had to kneel down. Not because of pride and respect, but because he was the Jade Emperor!
He has such a peaceful look in his eyes. A stunning white beard and wrinkles on his face makes him look so
old but overall, he looked so young. I’m not going to write down exactly what he said because his holy words
cannot be written down no matter how I tried.
