The Amazing Dragon Story
A Creative Story by an ACT 3rd Grader
Once upon a time in a far away land, there was a dragon named Trenton. He lived in an ice castle, but one day, he blew fire and melted his castle when he became mad. Then he went into the rainforest. He yawned and accidently made a wildfire. After the rumbling wildfire, he started to live in a volcano. And that was the perfect place for a 10 year old dragon.
Trenton’s friends visited a lot. His friends’ names were Bunnykins, Patty and Syrup. He played with them for eight hours on the day he found his home. The dragon’s favorite color was red, and his favorite drink was coco lava.
Two years later, when he was 12, his friends surprised him with a surprise party. He was so excited that he spit fire rocks. He drank a little bit of his favorite drink and he ate some lava cake. But just then, some dragon hunters wrestled Trenton and put him in a cage with their spears. They took him to the Dungeons of Dread.
The dungeons were dark and smelly. The rats liked to sharpen his toenails by nibbling on them. There was no plumbing. Trenton had been in the dungeon for one week when he cut the lock with his sharp toenails. He was going to the Evil Lord Drocks. Lord Drocks was the one that told his men to take Trenton from his party and put him in the Dungeon of Dread.
He faced many guards but his sharp toenails were like swords and he blew fire, too. Then arrows, like eagles, started soaring at him. But he blew them on fire and burned them to smithereens. He flew up into the sky and saw the Evil Lord Drocks going deeper into the castle so he wouldn’t get hurt. A guard had a water gun and sprayed water into Trenton’s mouth, so he couldn’t breathe fire anymore. He flew down as angry as a great white shark that was tricked. Going 100 miles per hour, he fell like a meteor into the man and knocked him over.
Trenton fought through fourteen guards with his especially sharp toenails, thanks to the rats. He saw Lord Drocks again and they started fighting, sword by sword, nail by nail. Drocks swiped his sword at Trenton; he ducked. Drocks swiped his sword again and Trenton dove out of the way, but was hurt because he fell on a rock. Lord Drocks lifted his sword for the strike, but just then, Patty, Trenton’s friend, blew fire on Drocks’ armor. Lord Drocks ran deeper inside the castle, but suddenly Syrup and Bunnykins came to aid Trenton. He got better in a few seconds, stood up and said, “Thanks!” to Patty for saving his life. Syrup and Bunnykins asked Trenton why his nails were so sharp and he told them all.
The Magnificent Four flew after Lord Drocks. Lord Drocks had no guards left. Trenton flew over the castle and started swooping down, broke a window and landed on Lord Drocks. He picked Lord Drocks up and put him in the Dungeon of Dread. The castle was his. People started cheering from everywhere. He made this a dragon palace where only dragons could live.
He had found the perfect home at last! It was not too cold, not too hot, just perfect for him to live. His dragon breath never came back, but he was still happy. He had a great time living there.
