King Theseus of Athens was a powerful ruler. He was loved by his people because he protected and provided for all the villages in Athens.His son Prince Percy was a very brave young man seeking for an adventure. Athens was not always safe because every midnight comes a creature called Ligon. It was half lion, half dragon. His mission was to set villages on fire and eat all humans in order to survive. During the daytime it fly's back to his cave on the Island of Crete to sleep. Percy was tired of this beast killing his father's people. So bravely he asked his father's permission if he can go and kill the monster. His father very concerned replied, "yes you may go and you can use the boat of Athens". "You should also use these two types of sails", said the King. One is white and the other is black. The white one means that they are still alive, the black one meant that they had died. "Farewell my son, and I will be waiting for you", said King Theseus. The next day Percy sailed to the Island of Crete along with five brave men.
ReplyDeleteWhen they arrived, they went to find the beast and kill it before dark. Percy told the men that the cave is on top of the mountain. When they arrived, they began to climb the mountain. After ten minutes the Ligon flew down and captured all six men and put them a wooden cage. Everywhere in the cage there were bones from other victims. Percy found a plan to break out of the cage, by taking out his sword and cut the wooden cage. He moved slowly and quietly like a mouse towards the creature. With mighty sword he chopped the creature's head off. He then cut his wings and with the help of his men, they made a glider.
They glided towards the shore and jumped into the boat with the creatures head.
As he was arriving in Athens he remembered to raise his white sails as an indication that he was alive. When his father saw that he was overjoyed and gathered everybody from Athens for a welcome home party.
Today the head of Ligon is still seen hanging on the top of the hill to remind everyone that Athens is in no danger.
The end.

I liked how you explained the two sails and how he cut off the creatures head.I think you could use more adjectives.
DeleteScotty and the Dragon of Egypt.
ReplyDeleteIt was so long that nobody could even remember what was there. It happened when there were still dragons and other scary creatures. In the most Ancient place in the whole wide world… In Egypt!
In a small city lived an unusual boy, his name was Scotty. He was very strong and even when he was very small when could lift up everything, even his bed!
Once in a rainy day Scotty’s mother heard that there was a giant beast in Cairo, near their village, about to burn all the houses in Egypt! Scotty begged his mom if he could try to beat the Dragon, but his mother would never ever let him. There were other kids who wanted to join him. His own brother Jake and even his sister Florence would like to try ( They thought the dragon was just a toy which they could break). They begged, and begged and finally managed to make their mom agree to let them go.
They packed their stuff and left towards the Desert. Florence took a map with her and a ball of string that she used to create a big trap for that monster.
“Oh, look we have to go in that Desert. I’m staying here no matter what!” Shouted Florence. She was too scared of going into that Desert because of the food and the water situation. She was saying she would lose that big string trap which she was making for ages. “Please come, we will take care of all your stuff!” Said Jake. Finally they all went in and their feet were starting to get stuck in the sand….
It was very hard getting out of the sand, and on the way Scotty was the only one left. His brother and sister got injured so they tried to get back home however they got so sick that they fell and fainted.
TO BE CONTINIUED...
When Jake woke up he could not see Florence, they got separated.
ReplyDeleteScotty reached the place where the Dragon lived. The villagers gave Scotty the best sword and shield they had, showed him the way to the dragons cave where in every corner sculls, cobwebs and skeletons lay.
By this time Jake and Florence found each other by shouting names and coming towards the calling. And later, when they realized Scotty was not near, they remembered that they felt sick and let him go alone to beat the dragon. “We should come to Scotty and help him!” worried Florence said. Jack agreed and they went to the villagers to ask for a map. After they got it they ran as fast as they could because they knew Scotty was in big trouble…
When Scotty reached the end of the cave the monster popped out in front of him and took him by the leg, up into the air and was about to eat him! But then Scotty remembered he had the trap that his sister made. He tied one end to the stone, and then flew down like a monkey! Later he took his sword to fight the dragon! But the dragon quickly snatched the sword and threw it on the floor which made a big thump!
“We finally made it!” Shouted Jake.
Florence was so happy that she fell on the floor and rolled very fast to a giant leg, and her smile faded away, it was the Dragon!
“What are you doing here?” Said Scotty as he kicked the dragon on the head.
“We came here to help you!” Shouted Florence using her trap to capture the monster.
When Florence finally got the beast she pulled it as hard as she could and dragged the monster with Scotty and Jake’s help to the cliff, and in a moment or two they managed to throw the dragon down the cliff! But what they did not know is that the dragon could fly…
In about five seconds the dreadful beast appeared and bit Scotty with his fiery teeth! Scotty did not give up, so he secretly crept to the cave and got his sword, took it and ran to beat the monster. Scotty was winning, he used the sword very carefully until the beast used its tail and broke the sword! Scotty was so angry that he ran to the monster and picked it up threw it on the floor; He never knew he had that power! Then he asked Florence for the big trap, when she gave the trap they all covered the beast with it so it could not escape!
Later when the kids were about to go Jake forgot the map, it was left in the cave! However the saved villagers gave them a present! It was a flying carpet, and if you went in and said where you want to be, you would be there in no time. Scotty took the present, placed it on the floor, told his brother and sister to come and they flew away!
When they came home their mother was very happy, she prepared a wonderful dinner and asked her children everything what happen!
It is said that in their house there is a flying carpet lying on their dining table till now, and every night it fly’s around and has very much fun!
Thank you for reading my own Legend(:
I liked your legend when you described the characters and ı liked the setting.I think you could have more speech.
DeleteThe shadow man
ReplyDeleteLong ago,there was a woman called Arianne in the Ancient Greece.She was as strong as Hercules and beautiful as Aphrodite.She was also a princess in Athens too.In Athens there was a problem.The people who were from Athens complained the king of Athens every day.The princess Arianne was sure that she heard screams,bumps and all sorts of noisy sounds coming out of people's houses.The palace was always crowded cause people were always complaining.She couldn't stand it anymore and told her father that she should go and sleep at one of the neighbor's house and see what was going on.
Her father king Magnum,was desperate for Arianne to not go.However,Arianne didn't change her mind....
The day after that,Arianne went to an old neighbors house and asked her if she could sleep there for 1 night.The old lady's answer was "yes"because she wanted Arianne to save her from the terror.
At that night,when the clock starked 12 o'clock Arianne could hear some souds of someone walking.She was sure that it was someone who surprised everyone.The door opened and the creature came into the house of the old lady's.After a while,Arianne could see a candle and a torch.IT WAS A SHADOW MAN!!!!She was so surprised that she nearly fainted but got her mind back and thought of some ways to get away from the shadow man.Her best idea was to break the torch ,switch off the light and blow the candle.The idea of hers worked very well because it was shadow man and shadow can't survive without the light.From then on,the shadow man didn't come back to Athens because it was so frightend of Arianne. So, thats how she began her life of heroine.
I liked your idea of the Shadow man and ı liked it that the Shadow man was frightened of Arianne.I think you could describe the Shadow man better.
DeleteA long time ogo in a old castle lived a king called king Peter.King Peter had a daughter called Audra.King Peter lived in a huge castle with his daughter but the castle was a old castle.His daughter was a very pretty girl.In one of the rooms he kept a monster the monster was half tiger half snake.That rooms door was locked so that no one could open it.He kept the monster there if any enemies would attack.No one knew where the key was except for king Peter and Audra.Their enemy was king Anton and his son Lenny.Audra didnt want to fight.She didnt want to have enemies.Lenny didnt like fighting either but he knew they were in danger with the monster alive.So he went to try and kill the monster.He took everything he needed.He took his sword he took arrows and he set of on his way.He knew this was going to be hard becuse the monster wasvery powerful.It could catch and hit with its snake tail and scratch or bite with its teeth.But he would still try and kill the monster.
ReplyDeleteAuda saw him comming and asked him what he was here for.So he told her and she decided to help him because she didnt want to have enemies.She gave him the key of the room and told him that the weak spot of the monster was its ears it got waek when it heard loud sounds.So he went in and made as much sound as he could.Then he saw his chance and killed the monster.When he killed the monster he came out and thanked Audra for her help.Audra told her dad what happened .At first he was angry then later on he was happy of that.Lenny told his dad too and he was happy also.Both kings were happy and there was no more fighting.
The Monger (half monkey half tiger)
ReplyDeleteOnce there was a terrifying creature called the Monger who lived in a cave near the beach every night it would go through the woods and set fire to someones house. The Monger had three red eyes it had hairy skin and teeth like knives. This strange animal was half monkey half tiger.
One silent night the Monger walked through the woods to set fire to someones house suddenly it heard a CRACK a tree fell over in front of the Monger. Then the Monger had to go around the tree and go to a house that everyone was asleep in. The Monger found a house so the Monger jumped on the roof and broke it he robbed two people named Charlie and Susan then they both woke up and escaped then house caught on fire and burnt down.
The Monger retreated so it would not go to jail and die. The Monger ran in to his cave and hid on the end of the cave because it was dark and spooky but what he did not notice was was everyone could see his shiny red eyes. When the Monger woke up the cops suddenly saw and caught the Monger. The cops threw the Monger in jail...
I liked how you described the Monger and that the Monger had red eyes.

The Monster of Beagle Mountain
ReplyDelete"Have you ever seen a beagle? No, not the cute dog, I mean the evil half-bear half-eagle which will rip you to shreds in seconds, with its razor-sharp claws and gobble you up with its giant jaws. This is the story of this terrifying beast.
Long, long ago in ancient times, a terrible beast roamed Beagle Mountain in the east of Ireland. It would kill anyone in its path. One rainy day, a boy's father had just been killed and the boy and his mum were at the funeral. The boy (who was 17) swore that he would kill the beast, "It has killed too many of us, I must kill it!" "Ok, but you must ask the town blacksmith to make you some new armour, a shield and a new sword to fight it," said his Mum.
The next day the boy went to the blacksmith to collect the armour, shield and sword. Suddenly he had a brilliant idea. There was a man in the village who used to slay mythical creatures and collect there heads, but he was old and could not fight anymore. The boy went to the old man's house and asked him for advice. "How do you kill a mythical creature?" He replied: "I will tell you, if when you kill the beagle you bring me the head and the wings of it for my collection." The boy agreed and the man told him everything he needed to know about how to fight a mythical creature. " But be warned it is a very dangerous task." "I will take the risk and avenge my father!" with that he turned on his heels and left the house. He jumped on the family horse, kissed a crying mother goodbye, and galloped towards the mountain. When he got there he got off the horse and slowly walked up the up the hill using the old man's advice on finding where it lives. After a lot of searching, he finally found the cave were it lived. The boy climbed to the top of the cave and waited on there. Finally the beast came out and the boy jumped out from behind and started to attack the beast. Finally after a long fight the beast was dead. "I've done it!" he said happily. He came back as fast as he could, gave the man the head and wings of the beagle and was known as a hero until he died.
Jack an The Beast
ReplyDeleteLong long time ago there was a man his name was Jack, he lived in the mountains where he had small hut he lived. One morning he had gone for a walk, while he was walking he came across a place he had never seen before. It was a cave, Jack decided to go in the the cave. It was pitch black so he had put his arms infront him. Jack kept on going until his hands touched a hairy beast.........
"Ahhhhh!" screamed Jack.
Jack ran as fast as he could and managed to get out, but then the hairy beast came, its tail looked like a snake his body like a lion and a head of a human. "My name is Snalyman 1 upon 3 snake, 1 upon 3 lion and 1 upon 3 human. I own the cave you came in so you will wish that you hadnt com in." said Snalyman
"Please dont eat me!" pleaded Jack.
Suddenly a blue thing jumped onto Snalyman."Hello my name is Catman I am the police of this mountain, never come here and go home.
"Thanks."
But Snalyman was getting up and attacked Catman." Run!"Souted Catman
But Jack got a branch and hit on Snalyman. But Snalyman dodged and started chasing Jack,but Jack jumped up to dodge Snalyman."You cant deafeat me!"
"Yes I can."
And the next 0.000001 second Catman came from behinde and pushed Snalyamn off the mountain.
"How can I repay you." said Jack
"Never come here again."
"Ok," said Jack
and from that day on Jack never came here again.
I liked that the catman killed the snalyman by pushing him off the mountain and ı liked how you described the cave.
DeleteI think you could improve having more detail about the snalyman.
Long ago in ancient Rome a boy named Jack lived in a cave. The cave was close to the Coliseum. One day when he came home to the cave he saw dead bodies covered in blood. Then he saw a monster. The monster was half dragon and half bull. When Jack saw the beast he ran as fast as he could to the city but the beast was chasing him when Jack got to the city he closed the gates. Then he ran to the palace to tell the guards and the empire. Then his solders ran off to find the beast 10 hours later the solders still hadn’t returned so another grope of solders went to find the beast. When the solders got to the cave they saw the beast. Then they tried to escape but it was too late the beast had seen them. They were scramming so loud the cave started to crumble down everyone was dead accept one solder when he woke up he looked for survivors there were no survivors then he started walking to the palace. Then he saw the beast then the solder took his sword and killed the beast when he returned he told the king then the king gave him 100 gold coins
ReplyDeleteThe end
I liked when Jack went to the city and told the people and i liked it when he got rewarded 100 coins.I think you could be more careful at the spelling.

The hero of the countryside
ReplyDeleteOnce there was a good dragon with a snake's tail. The other awful dragon was making fun of him but he wasn't upset. He liked his snake's tail very much.
One day, a monster called Ealephake attacked the countryside to take over.Drake's friend fougth hard but he was losing, Drake was in the forest for a long walk.when he came his friend was losing against Ealephake. They dig a giant hole on the ground, Drake covered it with sand and leaves then made Ealephake fell into it. So Ealephake died because it was too deep.
I liked it when the good dragon didn't get upset of what the other awful dragon said and i liked it when they dug a giant hole.I think you could use some more adjectives.
DeleteLong ago in Ancient Greece there lived a creature called the Snull. It was half bull and half snake and terrified the whole of Persia. It had red eyes, massive horns and a tail which could wrap itself around its victim and squeeze it to death. One day King Taurus decided he had had enough of it and chose to ask the citizens who would volunteer to kill it. Nobody volunteered. He promised great wealth and land to who succeeded. Still nobody volunteered. Prince Dromes then asked his dad if he could go. Taurus immediately refused. Dromes so desperately wanted to go that he disguised himself as a poor young villager. He went to the king and asked for permission. Not knowing who the villager was he approved and sent him on his way.
ReplyDeleteThe very next night King Taurus was going bonkers trying to find Dromes. All the guards searched and searched until the next day. In the meanwhile Dromes was going around villages asking for directions to the Snull’s lair. Nobody knew the exact location as nobody dared to seek it out. After a week he stumbled across a cave with rotten bones and chunks of fur lying outside. He instantly knew it could only be the Snull’s home. He went inside and heard a very quiet scream for help. He followed the noise and came across a place where there where a few torches lighting a circular room. He then saw a girl tied up to a pole. He let her free and she told him that the Snull was hunting in more towns for people to be his breakfast. They came up with a cunning plan to defeat the Snull…
As planned the Snull would come inside and see everything as usual. Dromes was hiding in the dark with his dagger waiting for his moment to strike. While the animal was distracted Dromes jumped out and slashed with his sword at the beast’s neck. Unfortunately when he was about to attack the Snull walked away to look at his new meal. Seeing Dromes it charged into him and tossed him into the air with his horns. It caught him with his tail and started squeezing him to death. Dromes then found the power he did not know he possessed and hauled himself onto its back. He then kept on slashing his sword at the beast. With one mighty slash at its neck it moaned its last and fell lifelessly onto the ground.
Dromes then freed all the people who had been captured and took them home. He returned to the king’s palace and presented the Snull’s head to the king. Later that day was the ceremony in honour of the villager who had killed the Snull. Everybody gathered as he was presented with the rewards he had been promised. But as he was about to be given his reward he took off his disguise and showed everybody who he was. There was a long silence until King Taurus finally said “We can’t give the reward to a prince.” “Why don’t we give it to the people then,” said Dromes. The king approved and there was a big cheer among the crowd. “All hail prince Dromes the Snull slayer!” They shouted. It took a while till everyone settled down and went off to bed and everything continued as usual.
I liked how you described the characters and the snull.I think you could use more commas.
