I couldn’t believe my eyes. Then I began to cry. His armor was split down the side with dried blood all around it. His skull slightly bashed in on the left side and he had burn marks from the waist down. I spotted a small golden object curled up in his hand. I pried his lifeless hands open and there was golden heart shaped locket. I almost forgot he was gone for a second when I opened the locket with joy. There inside was a pen written note made by Jacob himself. It said:

Bianca, I love you and Papa so……….. But if you’re reading this, the sad truth is that I’m dead. I’ve requested that Hope come here and deliver the bad news. Please allow me to always live in your heart. I love you
Jacob Redliwe



That day I swore that I saw a mighty dragon cry. Shortly after reading the note I came to a decision; I want to become a dragon warrior and I’m gonna start today. Papa was still somewhere out in the fields but I didn’t need his help. Hope and I buried Jacob’s body then I ran inside to get a piece of parchment, on it I wrote this:

Papa, Jacob is dead, I want to follow in his and become a dragon warrior. If you’re reading this I’m already gone. I’ve taken Hope and we’re headed to Falusto’s Tower, well I will train with the best to be a dragon warrior. I shall return every two years for a week or so to help you but…………. This is something I must do
I love you Papa, Bianca Redliwe


I was too busy rushing that note to see the errors I made. I still hope he can understand it. I took the locket and fastened it around my neck. I kept rushing in and out of the house to see if there was something I needed. “Brush, clothes, machete, and the locket” I murmured to myself. Hope let out a cry as to draw my attention, she was ready for flight. “Come on girl” I shouted. I felt like a true dragon warrior. Her wings outspread and rose to the sky. The bright sunshine peered through the holes in her wings she slowly raised then sailed across the sky, it felt as if I was going to throw up. Clinching tightly to the skin on her neck we flew at speeds I never knew existed. It what seemed to be only a few short minutes we were at Falusto’s Tower. From the air we saw about twelve other dragons and there trainers all lined up side by side. Their heads gazed up and watched as we made a signature half moon circle before landing. The beast let out a cry to let the others know she was tough. The others seemed not to care and in their eyes she was a nobody as was I. As we marched to the end of the line a girl with short black hair and a white dress rolled her big green eyes at me. Not trying to curse her out I just held it in and kept walking. A tall scruffy looking man with a large brim hat came marching drunkenly towards us.
