Feet crunching on gravel, Sokay, made his way metre by metre, mile by mile towards his fathers' kingdom. He was walking  the last stretch of the road when he heard the thumping of heavy boots. He only had seconds to react. When he turned around, his heart stopped in fear - it was a giant!

The giant had a massive war axe that he held firmly and he had a spiked metal ball about the size of a fitness ball, held firmly by a chain wich made its way to his hand.

Sokay had heard rumors of giants but back then he thought they were stories told to scare children but now he knew those 'rumors' were true. He was frozen in fear but at last he moved. Sokay swung his sword in an attempt to lop off his leg but the giant evaded it effortlessly and swung his axe at Sokay.

Sokay had no chance of blocking it so he jumped backwards as nimble as a cat could ever wish to be but the axe caught his leg and the razor sharp blade sliced his leg straight open. Sokay cried out in agony. Sokay knew his death was near but just as the giant was bringing down the axe, blood sprayed all over him. The last thing he remembered was his father pulling out a gigantic spear from the giant's heart then all went black..

Sokay awoke in absolute pain, he tried to sit up but the pain was to much to bear.

Suddenly a familiar voice said 'you fought well until you got injured' 'what hapened' Sokay asked 'well I was waiting for you until I heard a bellowing as loud as a foghorn so I rushed into the armory and grabbed a spear then bolted out the door'

'I saw you fight but when your leg got depacitated I stabbed him throught the heart" my father said smiling proudly and triumphantly 'now lets see that leg of yours" It was a bad sight indeed, blood was everywhere and still oozing out of the wound. The cut was quite big and deep, Sokay grimaced "did you kill the giant" asked Sokay nervously " yes I stabbed it with my spear encased in silver alloy, only way to kill a giant!"

"So, we need to talk about the war master uprising"

"oh yes".said his father grimly

"the war master is planning to uprise against the other three kingdoms including ours .

You were summoned by me because you wer- suddenly war cries could be heard "quick arm yourself Sokay!" his father shouted "were under attack already" so father and son ran to the armory and each grabbed two swords. They then ran out of the castle but immediatley regreted it.

soldiers, blood, guts, gore and headless corpses were everywhere. Sokay and his father called for back up but all that came were enemies, lots of enemies. Quickly Sokay and his father slashed through at least thirty soldiers, all fell without heads.

Sokay charged through the horde of enemy soldiers. Slicing, cutting and lopping off heads with ease. His father was as ferocious as Sokay, he was also fighting with the ferocity of a lion.

Soon no soldiers were left to question but it didn't matter because Sokay's father was dead, he was lying on the ground, lifeless eyes staring up at the sky. His torso was sliced open, his guts were spilt on the ground around him. Sokay erupted in rage at the soldiers who had killed them. Then Sokay thought I am now the king!
