The fall of the Dragon
|
As Conner set off on his journey, he looked behind the boulder but he didn't see Sir Jeremiah there anymore. When Connor went to the labyrinth he easily found his way to the center, because he is very smart and can easily find his way through almost anything. On a podium was a blue flower that looked like it was made of sparkly sapphire as dark blue as the dragons eye. He was about to get the flower when he felt someone kick him. When he looked down he saw a short man with bright orange skin and even brighter green hair. Connor bent down to ask him if he was one of those legendary umpa lumpas. The “umpa lumpa” politely asked him to come closer. He looked as if he was going to tell Conner something in his ear, when he slapped Conner in the face and screamed at the top of his little lungs “ you think that every short person with orange skin, green hair, and three feet tall is an umpa lumpa! I am a troll you nitwit. Anyways if you want the flower then you have to answer three riddles. What always runs but never walks, often murmurs but never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth but never eats? Connor pondered for a while then he said his answer a river. Wow looks like you're not as stupid as you look., well few have passed the first riddle now it’s time for the second one. If you break me I do not stop working, If you touch me I may be snared, If you lose me then nothing will matter what am I ? Connor thought and said with confidence, your heart. You have one last riddle to answer, what does man love more than life, fear more than death or mortal strife, what the poor have, the rich require,and what contented men desire,what the miser spends and the spendthrift saves, and all men carry to their graves? Connor thought carefully and said with care nothing, what, nothing, the answer is nothing said Connor. Well it seems to me that you have earned the flower and I will keep my word and let you have it. Connor easily left the labyrinth because he has a rare gift in which he can remember everything. When he got back to the castle the dragon charged at him, and blew fire at him. But the Connor dodged the fire and fell . His arm got burned and he was wounded. The princess started to play a flute, and it made the dragon fall to the ground. Connor took advantage of the situation and he placed the flower in the dragons nest. Immediately the dragon started to changed and he turned into a human and the princess and the dragon (whose name turned out to be ky), got married |

Unjustified Torture
|
Torture to them is a totally legitimate means for justice for the truth, or names of associates they were working with. The people are also working with the police to bring down some of the top criminals, and punish them until confession or death. Before we go any further in this article I will tell you what torture is. The definition of torture is the the deliberate, systematic, cruel and wanton infliction of physical or mental suffering by one or more torturers in an attempt to force another person to yield information or to make a confession or for any other reason. Devices or tools were used to inflict unbearable agony on a victim.

20 Knights Killed
By: Jacob Bernstein
Last week, a dragon was found in a nearby cave and killed a team of 20 knights who were very young. The scaly creature was described as a big long monster by the few that survived the attack.
Of the two knights that survived, only one of them technically knew what happened. The other knight fainted and was valiantly carried out by our beloved prince Wellington. Sir Wobbleton (the one who fainted) is in good health now. But if it wasn’t for Wellington, he might have not been OK. The prince told me “all of my fellow knights banished before my eyes, it was horrible”. Sir Wobbleton said “This was the scariest experience i have ever had, I'm lucky to be alive”. The Dragon was horrendous with two big gazing eyes. Its teeth stronger than stone, and deadly volcanic breath. You would not want to be anywhere near this unusual animal. It was able to wipe out 20 knights because the team was all grouped together, and it blew its horrible fiery wrath. It was a miracle that the two got away. |
The cave is located approximately one mile from the castle. We recommend to everyone to not leave the castle this week. The cave has been said to look normal from the outside, but on the inside is covered with precious gems. We assume the dragon is determined to protect them.
Our beloved King Philip has sent out our ten bravest and toughest knights. Their mission, kill the dragon. There is a very generous reward for whoever kills it first. The reward is six cows, three pigs, and two chickens. One of the 20 knights was unfortunately the kings brother, Gregory. His funeral will take place in the month June. We hope to see everyone there. |

Drowned without Defense
|
Many people have said that Eleanor was a very kind person and many people still think that. Then I asked why they didn’t do anything to stop what was happening, and why they didn’t speak up. None of the people I interview said anything. But then people told me that now that Eleanor was gone her cousin Casia would get all of the property that she owned.
