The Dragon King
Kennedy School, Liao, Sofia - 8
Once upon a time in a magnificent palace there lived a dragon family. They had a son who was named
Drake. He had shiny blue scales, golden horns, black eyes and a long lashing tail. His mother had purple
scales, green horns, blue eyes and a yellow tail. His father had green scales, blue horns, orange eyes and a
short tail. Darke inherited the beauty from his parents as Darke was an obviously handsome dragon.
The young prince did not realize that his parents were both treasure hunters. One day Drake’s father told
him “Me and your mother have to go out for business and we promise to be back in two weeks. Little did
young Drake know that his parents were going to jump in a volcano under the dangerous sea.
Soon they were rumors everywhere that the dragon king and queen were dead. The young prince was left
to rule the seas alone. After many years Drake who was now known as the dragon king has been trying to
look for his long lost parents. But he has no clue how to begin the searching in the vast open sea.
One day, in his father's study room Drake found a staircase leading down to a secret chamber. Once he was
inside a chamber, Drake found a heavy book and inside there was a map which said where his parents had
gone looking for treasure.
Drake followed the map and he eventually came to a halt in front of a treacherous volcano under the sea
near Mariana Islands. He dived into the volcano where his parents had jumped in long ago. The dragon king
found a path which led deeper in the volcano. At the foot of the path he found a lake. He slowly swam
through the lake and climbed up onto the bank.
After he had got the water off his scales he started to shout “Mommy daddy where are you?” Then he saw a
shadow and started to fly towards it. It was his mom and dad!
Drake saw his parents wounded and lying on the ground. “Mom dad are you okay?” he called out to them.
“Drake” his mother called out to him “get out of here, there's a black dragon king lurking in the corner and
he's very evil and powerful. Run or he is going to kill you!” Young smart Drake thought “I might not be
able to fight the black dragon king but if I lure the black dragon king out of the volcano when it erupts the
black dragon king will fly into the hot lava and he will be de
So the young dragon king decided to give it a try. He shouted to all four sides of the volcano and the black
dragon king came out. “What do you want?”he rumbled. “I want to challenge you”, Drake replied casually.
Soon Drake had led the black dragon king out of the volcano just as it started to erupt. Ducking it just in
time the black dragon was dead by the eruption. Then Drake found out the treasure his parents had been
looking for was actually a crystal ball that could foresee the future. He rubbed the ball gentely and it showed
him his parents safely back at home with him. So slowly he carried his parents back up to the palace.
With the help of the crystal ball, Drake can foresee when the volcano will erupt or when tsunamis happen
so his people can run away or be prepared earlier. All his people are now safe from earthquakes and
tsunamis. Drake become the King of Seven Seas!
