Chapter 3
I looked at the map that Roy had given us and calculated where we needed to go.
“It looks like we need to head down this dirt path and take a left at the huge, blue boulder.”I said pointing ahead of us. We finally reached the cave after at least an hour of walking, well me walking, Jace and Liam groaning! Then Jace leaned against the huge boulder and it moved! We thought we were hallucinating! But then it got up and it turns out Jace had woken up the dragon guarding the gold coin! “Jace! You woke up the dragon!”Liam yelled at him. “Oops! Well how was I supposed to know that the giant rock was alive? Ask it if it was alive?”he yelled back.
“Guys Stop! We need to focus on getting the coin!” “Right! So let’s think of a plan to distract this dragon so we can sneak inside the cave!”said Liam huddling us together. Once we had our plan I looked in the bag of supplies that Roy had given us. On the top of the pile was a diamond necklace and a note from Roy. |
I picked up the note and read it. It read…
I read the note another time and decided to put the necklace on. I found the necklace and got a good look at it.
It was beautiful. It shone in the sunlight and was as clear as glass. I put it on and felt my body float up. When I looked at the ground could see Liam and Jace trying to fight off the dragon. I thought about going down near them to help and I did! I think I can do whatever I think about doing! So I thought about it raining steak and chicken to distract the dragon! I waited for a few minutes and nothing happened! I guess I don’t have magic powers. Man! But, when I ran over there to help Liam and Jace I saw a giant steak fall right in front of me! |
I had to run away before the dragon pounced on me! I guess maybe I do have magic powers! Yay!!
“Where did that meat come from?”asked Jace waving his hand at the giant steak. “I’ll tell you guys later. Right now we need to get the coin!” I followed them into the cave as we seared for the coin. We all hoped there were no more dragons as we went deeper into the cave. Liam and Jace found a silver block that held the coin. I recognized the block from the book. It was weight sensitive! “ Wait! We need to replace the coin with something of equal weight!”I said just as Liam reached for the coin. “What has equal weight to a coin ?”Liam asked me. “I don’t know. What about your shoe Jace?” “M-m-my shoe?” “Yeah! I’ll get you another one. Pleeaasse!! We really need it!”I begged him. “Fine! But I’ll want a totally new pair of shoes, Okay?” As he took of his left shoe and handed it to me I tried not to smell it! Then I placed it onto the block and quickly grabbed the coin! “Come on, we got to go!”I yelled at Jace and Liam as I started to run out of the cave. Luckily, the dragon was still munching on steak so it didn’t notice us sneaking away! And now we were off to search for a Forid! |
