Edward Albus Trotter
Once upon a time, there was a boy named Edward Albus Trotter. He had big, ocean-blue eyes,
brown hair and a slim fit figure. He was a brilliant genius. When you stared at him, you might
an indistinct blue trident mark on his forehead.
Edward lost his father and mother when he was born. He lived with his Uncle’s family in California now.
They treated him very well.
Many people said that Edward’s parents were killed by illness, but little Edward didn’t believed that. People
said that he was ignorant but he knew he was different from the others.
Chapter 2
The Jade Emperor’s Visit
One night, Edward had a dream. There was an old Chinese man standing behind his bed, ‘Hi, Edward.’
‘
Who are you?’ Edward murmured with an astounded look.
‘
I am the Jade Emperor. I am the king of gods in China.’ the old Chinese man answered.
‘
Edward,’ the Jade Emperor said, ‘I know that you miss your parents. They aren’t killed. Your mother was
caught by Herobrine, a devil, and your father was Poseidon, the lord of the seas.’
Edward was shocked to hear that his father was Poseidon, the one of the Big Three.
‘
Young hero, you have a quest of Hades’ sword, Zeus’ diamond, the Olympus’ stone, and your father’s
weapon, a shimmering gold trident. All of them have been stolen. The Big Three suspected each other. But they
all disclaimed resolutely.’ The Jade Emperor said, ‘Now they suspected me.’
‘
Then who did it?’ Edward asked.
‘
Herobrine did it. I’m going to prove it so I call you here to help me defeat Herobrine and take back the
weapons for the Big Three. Edward, here is the thing that I will give you, the Wavecrusher sword.’
The Wavecrusher sword was made of celestial bronze. Both its edges were gold and glittered.
‘
It is a gift from your father. It can help you kill monsters and sinister immortals. Your foe is in Great Wall.
He is ruling the whole China. I hope you can eliminate him soon and save your mother.’
‘
Thank you. I swear I will defeat Herobrine.’
‘
Good luck, young hero.’ The Jade Emperor grew to his Immortal form and faded away.
The next morning, when Edward woke up, he found that there was a sword lying on his table. It was the
weapons that the Jade Emperor gave him in his dream.
Edward got dressed quickly. He took his weapon and went to the backyard. He took his pet, Silversmith, a
young white Pegasus. Then he rode on it and vanished in the air…
Chapter 3
At the Great Wall
Lighting cracked, beneath the sky was the famous marvellous Great Wall. The thunder cloud was as black
as coal while brilliant gold lighting smash violently. The Great Wall was like an endless tremendous dragon
lying on the country border of China.
Edward landed on a mountain beside the Great Wall. He led Silversmith to a mountain full of grass and fed
him. While Silversmith was having its delicious meal, Edward walked down the green path. He looked at the
dark sky. He missed his hometown. In California, he loved to play with his friend at school. He missed his
friends and his uncle’s family. He missed everything, just alone.
All of a sudden, he heard a huge army marching with a quick galloping. Edward wanted to conceal himself
behind a bush, but he was curious what was happening. When he looked back, he was shocked…
Chapter 4
James Galloper the centaur
Edward saw a boy whose age was as similar as him. The boy had brown hair and deep brown eyes. His
body was a deep-red pony instead of a human body. From Edward’s knowledge in his myth class, it was a
centaur. The centaur galloped to him and grabbed him.
‘
Hey, run!’ He put Edward onto his back. Silversmith sensed that they were in danger. It chased after the
centaur in haste. The centaur brought them to a gloomy cave and put Edward on the ground.
