The Knight

I am a brave knight named Sir David John Tennant. My mates call me Davie though. I live in Paisley, Scotland and I am a hero to my people. As of now though I am stuck in a high tower of a castle, that a witch locked me in. At the moment I was trying to figure out a means of escape. I had to go and save the beautiful young princess who was trapped in the horrible dungeon below. Along the way though I would have to fight past a dragon that spewed hot water instead of fire from the depths of its mouth. As well as get past the evil sorceress undetected so as to rescue the princess, return her to her father, and claim my reward, a bag of gold.

At the moment I was stuck to the floor my eyes looking at the corner, unable to move from this spot. I had to wait a certain amount of time before I could move. I was under a spell from the enchantress she had frozen me here and I would not be able to budge until the spell wore off. I heard a distant pinging noise and a far off call saying,

"David you can come out now." As the sorceress spoke the words I felt that I could move again. She always fought this way froze you and then let you come and fight for what you wanted. I quickly ran over to the other corner of the room and picked up my suit of armor. I put it on and grabbed my helmet, making sure to cover my ears so the roars of the dragon would not deafen me, I tied it under my chin. Grabbing my sword and shield I ran to the door and opened it slowly.

The dragon was just down the corridor I could hear it's belly grumbling. I walked slowly, there were no windows in this corridor so it was dark. There was something on the floor that I did not see and I tripped. I put my arms out in front of me but to late I was in front of the dragon and had pulled its riches on top of me in my fall. I decided to hide for a moment as the dragon looked around searching for me.

It was big and red and had two giant eyes that were also its mouths, which it had two of. The eyes spun around and around looking for me. I pulled out my sword and ran at the dragon. I jumped up on top of it and it made a noise as my foot got stuck on its mouth which then opened hot water spilling out. I pulled my foot up as fast as I could and stood up on top of the dragon's back. I stabbed the dragon with my sword on the two spots that I knew to be its weak points. It once again made a noise like a chirp but then stopped moving and making noise.

I leaped down from the dragon's back onto the wet stone floor. I picked up my shield which I had not noticed that I dropped and quickly ran down the corridor to the grand stair case which led down to the dungeon where the witch was holding the princess captive. I leaped down the stairs two at a time until I came to the bottom the dungeon was just down one last corridor.

I crept around the pillar at the bottom of the staircase and made my way quietly to the entrance of the dungeons. There she was the evil sorceress standing there brewing an evil potion in her cauldron. I then caught sight of the princess she was trapped in a cage in the far corner of the dungeon.

"Let her go evil witch!" I exclaimed with my sword pointing the witch in the face. She laughed and grew to a giant size four times bigger than myself.

"Bubble bubble toil and trouble," She said as she continued to stir her cauldron. The princess let out a scream and started to cry. The witch took something from behind her and walked over to the princess and picked her up. The princess was now in her evil clutches. The witch took out a glass filled with a white liquid and handed it to the princess.

"Here this will make it all better," The witch said but I screamed something at the princess.

"No do not drink it! It is poison meant to kill you." I yelled but it was to late the princess had finished it all. She stopped her yelling and closed her eyes moving no more. The witch put her back into her prison, and turned to me.

"She is not dead, just sleeping." The witch said a chuckle in her voice. Sleeping that meant there still might be hope. I knew what to do!

I ran over to one of the walls and searched around for the handle that I knew was there. Aha I found it I called the witch over to me and she came, I laughed.

"You should have stayed where you were because now I have the power to freeze you!" I said as I pulled on the handle and cold air escaped. She yelled and stopped moving. I left the door there and ran over to the princess.

"Princess please wake up," I said. "Please princess!"

She opened her eyes and looked at me her arms reaching toward me. I grabbed a rock by the table the cauldron was on and used it to stand on. I reached down into her prison and lifted her up into my arms. She smiled and I quickly leapt down and ran to the entrance for the castle. Just as I left its door a carriage pulled up. Exiting from it was the king.

"My king I have your daughter. I saved her from the evil witch!" I exclaimed running up to him and giving him the girl who had once more fallen asleep. The king took her in his arms and smiled.

"Thank you Sir David," He said. "Here is that bag of gold I promised you." He handed me the bag full of 30 gold pieces.

"It was my pleasure sir, I killed the dragon and the witch." I said taking off my helmet.

"Oh a dragon too, well done." He said then we heard a scream from behind us back in the castle. "Say where was this dragon?"

"It was in the upstairs corridor, out from its mouth spewed hot water and it had riches surrounding it. Not to worry I defeated it." I said proudly.

The king ran past me into the castle and I knew my job was done. I saw my horse near the entrance to the castle and walked over to it. I threw my leg over its saddle and rode away knowing I had done well.

The End
