It’s important now to tell you that many many years before, the dragons and humans had signed a contract: if the
dragons ever surrendered, they no longer had the power to eat the humans on Feastival.
So everyone had returned, but the Queen noticed that the king had not come back. The bad bad news was that he
had been killed! No wonder they had surrendered, with no leader they were weak.
From this day on, they refused to eat humans and started to celebrate with Alex on his birthday.
A FEW YEARS LATER
Alex turned 12, and everyone was there to celebrate. They danced and had lots of fun. That night when all the
dragons were fast asleep, Alex’s mum the Queen of the dragons took Alex for a little fly. They flew over Mount
Wutai and took a rest in an open field. She told him about how his father died, and that it was the leader of the
Chinese army who sniped him from behind the Emperor's throne, killing the Almighty.
Alex then heard a sound coming from far away. He could see the army coming towards them. He tried to fly away
but he got shot down. His mum managed to fly away and left him paralyzed on the ground. The guards then
brought Alex back to the palace.
On the way there, a little boy asked if he could take care of him, his name was Tim. So Alex went with Tim and
they became friends.
Tim went out to buy food one day at a shop called “Dragons Fly Above Us” and it said “$2 for trying” so he tried
it and it was really good. When Tim asked about the food he was told,
“These are Dragon dumplings - meat of the King Dragon Almighty who died a few years ago”.
Tim had no idea that the King Dragon Almighty was Alex’s dad who got killed by Tim’s grandpa the leader of the
Chinese army. So he brought home the Dragon dumplings. Alex could smell his dad’s blood and saw that Tim
was eating the dragon dumplings so Alex had a vision it was Tim with his dad at the ceremony when the dragons
gave them their stuff after defeat from the humans and Tim knew that it he had been eating King Almighty’s flesh
and didn’t realize that he was the prince.
Alex’s eyes went flaming red and Tim was scared for his life. Alex flew away and every villager that saw him threw
rocks at him. He managed to fly to the cave. He then told his mum,
“ Alright my dad’s dead, I’m your new leader I am finished with allergy. And I saw someone chopping up dragon
flesh, this brings back some terrible memories.
IT’S TIME TO AVENGE HIM!!!”
Feastival has changed to every day, charge! They killed Tim and tried to eat everyone else but made it worse, they
had lost the second time of their lives every dragon died and made it easier for everyone to make Dragon
dumplings.
R.I.P Tim, King Dragon Almighty and all dragons.
