The Warrior Saves the Kingdom
By James W. DeGarmo
February 18, 2013
Lance is a vulnerable skinny teenaged boy of 15 years. He has dark brown hair with amber colored eyes. Lance is a very social and friendly young man. He was born with only one arm. He lives with his father Conner who is a Blacksmith and his mother Cynthia who bakes bread and brownies for the King of the magical land. The name of the Magical Kingdom is The Noble Red Lands. Lance’s grandmother also lives with the family and her name is Lowita. She loves to look for bargains in the Market Place and cook Pheasant soup. Lance and his family live in Black Cap Village. The King’s name is James. He lives at Blue Castle. Lance also has a best friend whose name is Jaden. She has long red flowing hair and green eyes. She is a humorous girl who is funny and likes to tell jokes. Jaden is also loyal and intelligent. Jaden lives in a tree in Greenville Forest. Her entire family except for her dog Neigh and her uncle were killed by an Evil Shadow Warrior. Jaden didn’t lose her life, but the Evil Shadow Warrior chopped off her right foot, but she was still able to hobble away to safety. The tree that Jaden lives in has its own personality and can speak. The tree’s name is Hallow. After Jaden’s family was killed the tree took her under its limbs. It is a wise old tree that guides and protects Jaden from evil within the land. The tree gave Jaden a magic shield to protect her from any future harm. No one else, even Lance or her uncle knows that the tree lives.
When Lance was a young boy he took sword fighting lessons to help protect himself from the bullies in the Kingdom that made fun of his deformity. That is where he met Jaden because she was also taking lessons for the same reason. Lance had two teachers. One teacher was named Crimson and the other was named Logan. Crimson was unusually cruel to Lance while Logan was compassionate and caring towards the boy. Crimson is 6’2” tall. His hair is an unusual deep red. He has a scar on his face and is missing his left ear from a previous battle. Logan is tall and muscular. He has dark red wavy hair. He wears a three horned helmet. Each horn represents a different battle. In these battles he was a strategic warrior. Jaden happened to be Logan’s daughter.
One day when Lance was helping his mother deliver the baked goods she prepared for the King, the King allowed him to read books in his magnificent Library. Lance chose the book, “Everything you want to learn about Knights.” When he pulled the book from the shelf the wall opened up to a secret passageway.
Inside the passageway there was an old man. The old man’s name was Floyd and he was very insightful. He told Lance a secret. The secret was that Logan was really his Uncle. Floyd knew Lance was being bullied and the evil teacher wanted to do harm to him so he gave Lance a magic sword that would help him defend himself against his enemies. Floyd said he was given the sword because he had a good heart and would protect the innocent. Floyd told Lance that Crimson wasn’t just a teacher but an Evil Shadow Warrior that wants to take over the Kingdom and kill the King and prove that he is a more superior warrior then Logan. The old man proceeded to tell Lance that Jaden was his cousin and she possessed a magic shield that blocked fire balls, dragon flames, swords and any other weapon or magical art that could inflict harm or death upon him or Jaden. It is at this time that Floyd tells Lance that he and Jaden would need these items to destroy Crimson and save the Kingdom.
Lance couldn’t wait to tell Jaden about the mysterious man he met in the castle passageway who gave him a special sword. Lance also told Jaden, Floyd revealed that she had a special shield that would protect them from harm and they had a special mission they had to accomplish. Jaden then reveals to Lance the secret about Hallow.
While Lance and Jaden are talking about Hallow, Crimson, the Shadow Warrior, and five other Warriors riding on horses and armed with swords and other weapons storm Blue Castle. Accompanying them is a magical sorcerer named Gangus. Gangus has red hair with a matching red beard and he is wearing a black cloak. Gangus has Lance’s mother Cynthia taken and is holding her hostage. Hallow is in pain and tells Jaden that one of his branches have been cut off. Jaden and Lance climb down Hallow to find his chopped off branch and they find a note attached it. The note says that Lance’s mother is being held at Blue Castle by Crimson and his henchmen.
Besides the sword Lance possesses and the shield Jaden has for protection the enchanted tree gives them a special weapon and friend. He is a tiny man, but a powerful wizard. His name is The Noble Codius. He lives inside a hole in the tree. He is the protector of Hallow. He wasn’t always tiny in size. At one time in his life, Codius, made a mistake and misused his power. He became greedy and wanted to become the most powerful and good looking Wizard in the land. The Magic Counsel punished him for misusing his power and shrunk him down to 1”. The counsel allowed him to keep his blonde hair and chiseled body. He learned to become humble and appreciate what he does have. Codius and Lance instantly become good friends. Lance puts Codius inside his shirt pocket and occasionally he pops out and sings Old Castle Tunes. Hallow also gives Lance a special battle dinosaur, named Rocks, that was destined to be his companion and friend as well. He got this name because his teeth are so powerful they can crush rocks with one chomp. Codius gave Rocks the power to talk, too. Codius suggest that Jaden ask her Uncle Logan to assist in rescuing Cynthia from Crimson.
The group is now ready for battle as they go to rescue Cynthia and King James from Crimson and his henchmen. Lance with Codius in his pocket, Jaden and Logan ride on the back of Rocks and they head toward Castle Blue. Codius knocks out three of the Evil Warriors by making them sneeze so hard they trip on each other’s feet, falling on boulders that knock them unconscious. Lance, Jaden, and Logan put on the armor of the warriors so they can easily enter the Castle. Codius using his magic powers make the draw bridge lower so the group can enter. They search through the Castle chambers for Cynthia and she is found in a dark black chamber chained to a wall. As Crimson is looking at one of the Castle’s windows he notices muddy footprints by the moat. He also noticed three of his Warriors were knocked out on the ground without their armor. Crimson concludes that there are invaders in the Castle. He goes to investigate. He runs down the hallway toward the chamber where Cynthia is being held captive. Rocks, seeing that Lance, Logan, and Jaden can’t free Cynthia smashes through the wall that is holding her captive. Her chains immediately fall off. Crimson appears on the scene. The gang hop on Rocks to escape, but Gangus levitates Rocks in the air causing Lance, Jaden, Logan, and Cynthia to crash on to the cold concrete floor. Because the group is resilient they quickly recover their footing. Logan retrieves his sword from his sheathe. Crimson runs from the scene to his quarters that are decorated all in a deep color red to retrieve his sword. Logan chases after him. Logan and Crimson are now facing each other. Crimson takes a painting off the wall and smashes it over Logan’s head. Logan recovers quickly and tries to stab Crimson’s cold evil heart, but misses. Lance and Jaden try to help Logan, but Rocks once again intervenes and bites the villain in the leg. While Crimson is stunned from the bite, Logan holds the sword to his neck and says, “Give up the Castle and tell me where King James is or I will kill you!” Crimson replies, “Never!” Gangus comes to the aid of Crimson and levitates Logan in the air. Jaden comes to help her Uncle Logan. She throws the Magic Shield to him. Gangus starts to throw fire balls at Logan, but he can now protect himself with the Shield. The fireballs char the castle walls. Codius, having more power than Gangus, breaks the levitation spell and Logan is transported safely to the ground of the Castle floor. Logan throws the shield like a Frisbee at Gangus hitting him in the head knocking him out cold. Codius, is returned to his normal height of 5’11” for his good deed in helping Logan. The fireballs did cause the curtains on the Castle walls to burn quickly. Everyone evacuates the room and even drag out Gangus because they are individuals with good hearts and character. Codius using his magic causes raindrops to fall onto the fire extinguishing it instantly. As a punishment Codius shrinks Crimson down to 1” and sticks him in his pocket for not telling where the King is and to keep him for causing any further harm.
Jaden goes off in search of King James and finds him in the Ballroom guarded by the two remaining Evil Warriors. Jaden asks the Warriors to release the King. The guards refuse saying they are dedicated to Crimson and his mission to overthrow the Kingdom. Jaden explains that Crimson is no more than the size of a fingernail and she does not wish to be bored by their meaningless speeches. They reply that they will carry out the mission anyway because they still are magnificent powerful warriors. Little do they know that Jaden has hidden a kendo stick behind her back and she is a lethal Martial Artist. Jaden starts rotating the stick swinging it towards the warriors. They try to block her from getting to the king, but their efforts are futile. Jaden possesses too much agility. The Warriors try to stop her by trying to crop her in, but she clinks their heads together knocking them out. She retrieves the keys that are chaining the King to the Ballroom wall and frees him. The Ballroom floor is made of blue bricks. Jaden steps on a lose brick and the Gargoyle statues on the wall come to life. They have been asleep for over 1,000 years. They speak in a primitive language that she does not understand. Thinking they are doing the right thing, they pick up Jaden by her clothing and throw her into the moat messing up her beautiful long red hair and her perfectly applied make-up. She is furious because like any other girl she likes to look gorgeous. Jaden screams as she notices a snake wrapped around her leg and lets out a scream the whole Kingdom can hear. Uncle Logan hears her scream and comes to her rescue. He puts the snake in a burlap bag and puts it in a glass cage as a pet for the King. Logan does not realize the Gargoyles are awake. They pick up Logan by his pants and fling him to the ground. Codius turns the Gargoyles back to statues and has them put back on the Ballroom wall.
Everyone is safe and sound. The King is saved and Cynthia rescued. The King throws a celebration inviting the entire Kingdom. Codius falls deeply in love with Jaden and asks her to become his bride. She accepts the proposal even though she wishes he was taller, she knows he has a golden heart that is more important. They live happily ever after in Hallow in Greenville Forest. Lance joins Logan in opening a new Sword Fighting School. They both remain single to dedicate their lives to teaching this art to others and keeping the Kingdom safe. Cynthia is reunited with Connor which makes him very happy to have his beautiful wife back. Crimson, Gangus, and the Evil Warriors are sentenced to washing the Blue Castle’s walls for 25 years.
