Enemies From the West
Creative Primary School , Ma , Lotta - 10
Once there were four brave soldiers , Horse , Owl , Leopard and Bull . Horse was a great master , he had wisdom and fought very well . Owl , Leopard and Bull were his friends , they fought side by side . They lived in a chaotic city . Everyone there was grumpy and sad . Saturn , an angel and the ruler of the city was not happy about this . So she sent the four soldiers to the west to find a prophecy that could bring the citizens ’ happiness back . Before they left , Saturn gave them a small , magical pocket , it was from a goddess , and inside was something very valuable . “ You will find the treasure of lives with it ,” said Saturn .
After some time , they came to the forest of bamboos . It was Owl ’ s hometown . But these few years when Owl was journeying to the west , a few uninvited “ guests ” had arrived . They were actually the members of “ The Hunters ”. They were Fox , Tigress and Wolf , who were all selfish and greedy . They would turn uncontrollable when they see any treasure or gold . So , when they saw the band of soldiers , they misunderstood that they were finding a treasure that worth a lot . “ Look ! I bet those guys are looking for treasure !” exclaimed Wolf . ” Oh ! Yes !” replied Tigress . ” Then let ’ s go get them !” cried Fox slyly . Soon they slowly slipped away like shadows .
While the soldiers were walking on the vane of the forest , “ The Hunters ” found a family of owls , except they weren ’ t any usual owls . They were Owl ’ s family ! Fox smiled slyly , he held up a piece of rock carving hanging from a vine and started to swing side to side , getting faster and faster until it became a blur . Not for long , the pack of family got hypnotized ! “ We are here to serve “ The Hunters ”,” they said . “ Hunt down your family and take their treasures ,” Fox said with a wicked laugh .
“ What a beautiful village ,” said Horse , “ with the sweet birds singing and breeze gently blowing , that ’ s lovely !” Suddenly , Leopard ’ s ears started twitching . “ I think I hear something … something rustling in the trees .” Then out of nowhere , Owl ’ s family flew out , fast as an arrow . But the four soldiers were ready , the two bands of animals screeched and fought until the owls surrendered . But while the two bands of animals fought “ The Hunters ” silently took Horse ’ s magic pocket . Uh Oh ! The four soldiers saw “ The Hunters ” sneaking away . “ Stop !” shouted Bull . But they disappeared like wind .
“ Ah ! Ha ! Ha !” laughed Wolf greedily . “ The Hunters ” were very happy that they could get away . Now they were inside “ The Hunters ” lair .
“ No !” shouted Bull . The soldiers regretted not being able to protect their master well enough . To get back their magical pocket , they went to the temple of peace to find the most powerful goddess , Uranus , the goddess of peace and nature . They begged Uranus for a way to get their pocket back . “ You have come to the right place ,” the goddess said . ” I have a very special charm that is just perfect for you .” Uranus took out a shiny pendant , the pendant shone through the light beautifully . It held magical power ! Whoever wore it will be paralyzed . It was the perfect thing to trap “ The Hunters ”.
The next day , Horse and the other soldiers left the temple and set off to find “ The Hunters ” lair . They hid behind the cave , and peeked into a hole . In the cave , crafty Fox was whispering to Tigress and Wolf . “ Yes ! We finally got some goodies back !” Tigress said . “ And it was too easy .” Owl felt his ears burn hotter as if puffing out smoke . “ Well , you don ’ t seem to notice you have forgotten one !” shouted Owl . Fox turned around and saw the pendant in Leopard ’ s paws . Fox tried to take it but leopard was too fast for him , soon , a fight began . Leopard ran quickly , Bull punched strongly , Horse fought bravely , Owl clawed sharply . Fox fought and fought with Leopard , unfortunately , Fox snatched the pendant . “ Oh no !” cried Leopard ( pretended to be scared ). Clueless Fox was grinning from ear to ear , he had no idea he had gotten tricked . He put the pendant around his neck , and just like how Uranus had said , Fox got paralyzed . Tigress and Wolf didn ’ t know what to do without their leader . “ Yes ! It worked !” exclaimed Owl . Fox was furious but he couldn ’ t move even an inch . “ You will never get away with this ,” said Tigress . “ We will be back .” Then they scurried away along the path , not daring to look back .
To celebrate defeating “ The Hunters ”, the four soldiers had a feast with Owl ’ s family . Owl ’ s family was very grateful for Horse and the other soldiers got rid of “ The Hunters ”. But even though “ The Hunters ” would
