Galloway

Chapter I

Galloway

Far away in a different world, a world called Galloway, with pirates, treasures, castles, and water. Yes, water and lots of it. This world is a lot like our world. Two-Thirds of this world is water. But if you are good at something on earth you are three times as good here.

In the shadows there was a castle that held the monks and leaders of the world. The land was called Tybet.

The castle was very dark and big. And inside it wasn't any better. There wasn't a lot of light. When Benjamin, that is who this story is about, first came the castle was brighter. This castle is enchanted. When the young kings and queens were more likely to come home to the castle it would brighten.

Benjamin had been with the monks and worked on the ships as a first mate. Since he was four years old and had been with them for twelve years now. He had long back hair and bright blue eyes. And very muscklur from working on ships.

Benjamin was in a bush hiding from some pirates. They were paid to find him for the king. The king on the throne was not suppose to be there. The monks were suppose to chose the king and queen. So Jasper, the king, was tired of waiting and declared himself king.

After the men had left, Benjamin ran to the castle and entered.

The monk, Dabir, was waiting for him.

"Where have you been," Dabir questioned. "This place is crawling with guards."

"I was just at the habor," he answered. "Why so many guards."

"The king knows something, I should of told you a long time ago," he contiued. "I have told you pats of the story, but not all. You know the two kings and queens that are sapose to rule here?"

"Yes. Why?" he enquired.

"That story is true. I don't have much time to tell you this. But," Dabir replied. "You are of the kings and you are to get the others."

"What are you talking about," he asked with a frown. "I am to knock old Jasperoff the throne."

"In more words or less. Yes," he wispered. "Now we have to go!"

Benjamin tyed a sheet to the bed post and went down, Dabir following. The ran quickly, but carefully to the dock. When Benjamin stopped and asked "Wait, Where are we going to?"

"To England, Earth. Now get your crew," answered Dabir anxiously.

They left the dock with the 'flying eagle', right before the pirates could see what had hapened.

Dabir had a few words with the captain that Benjamin could not hear. And did not want to hear, for he was mad at his friend for not telling him eveything.

Benjamin was at the top of the ship right when he first got on. He liked the wind in his face it helped him forget everything.

And then he spotted England.
