The Dragon Wars of Tork

Chapter 3 School with Dangerous Tests and Friends

The next week was amazing Zerks family was so proud of him because not only did he get praised for having so many abilities but his sister was pushed to the side for once. He spent a lot of time with Peakle, Jean, and Seath. They often practiced with weapons or went hunting in the woods. On day they met a very violent troll that was eight feat tall. They killed it only because he wanted to eat them and it had a dead body flung over it's shoulder. Who it was they didn't know because he had eaten off most of the face.

Two days before school started they were sent a list of supplies he'd need for class. Two weapons of his choice a shield of his choice and armor of his choice. He and his older brother went shopping at the weapons store near their house. They tried several different weapons until they found his match.

"You should try these swords and arrows. You know you should get a close range weapon and a long range weapon." Dreak exclaimed. Zerk liked a three foot long sword that was made of steel. It had a perfect handle and he was great at fighting with it. The bow he was great at too. He could shoot at a target within ten yards pretty good.

Zerk was ready for school he practiced for hours eager to get his dragon. He was going to get a dragon he was positive. He hoped to get the first hatchling because the one that hatches first is usually the strongest. He practiced with his older brother, friends, even his dad. The first day of school is always a rustle because people get up early because they can't sleep.

Zerk met his parents in the kitchen after his mom woke him up. He walked up and asked,"where's breakfast I'm starving?"

"On the stove made you some rabbit stew,"his mother replied.

"Thanks it smells good," rubbing his hands together he grabbed a bowl and filled it up. He ate in silence until a question popped in his head,"How am I getting to school? Oh and what challenges do they make you face?"

Zerk's dad thought for a moment and replied,"I'm taking you and they usually make you slay something and then find your way to where they have the dragon eggs. You slay the beast a door behind it will open to the maze and you'll haft to get through those challenges too."

Zerk thought that his chances of getting a dragon egg just went down. How in the world will he slay something at his age. He ate faster in hope that he could meet his friends and tell them about the challenges. Right as he finished his father said,"oh would you look at the time, let's go you don't want to be late for class."

"Ok, what class do I have first period?"

"They didn't say, your teacher just told us to meet her in front of the field."

"Ok, let's get going." As Zerk put on his shoes and then remebered something,"do I take my supplies?"

Just then Lisa walked in the room, she was obviously still mad about the day before. She gave Zerk

A look and replied,"yes, I thought it was obvious. Of course I don't have a peewee brain so I could be wrong."

"Oh shut up it's not my fault you don't look where your going."

"Stop lying I know you did it!" she yelled at him.

"Oh I'm so scared what are you going to do now trip in mud!" Zerk was now yelling too. Frustration had built up inside him from all the crap he took from her! Well he wasn't afraid anymore he could fight and she couldn't use her elements to hurt him.

"You know what I will hurt you!" She had now pushed him to the floor and was dragging him outside! He was fighting back but she obviously knew something he didn't because he couldn't break loose. Their mother walked in right when they went past the door. She didn't see them and now Zerk was in trouble. Lisa threw him onto the grass he got up and yelled at her,"what are you going to do you can't hurt me!"
