THE DREAM

The pages of a book rustled as he turn the pages quickly. The large hard back encyclopaedia had him gripped, he was reading about dragon's gold, the rarest and most valuable gold know to man. Dreaming of a adventure, he read the myths in depth. The last dragon cove was rumoured that it was in the Holywood mountain park, which was in Edinburgh Scotland. His heart beating fast from the thought of it. Reading more about it, the encyclopaedia talked about two keys to release the sleeping dragon to reveal his gold. The encyclopaedia had three bullet point's the first bullet point read, Silvery Dragon's dagger which is in London Museum, the second bullet point read, The sunken Red Dragon last know place was few miles of from Deptford Dockyard, the third and final point read, The Dragon's heart ring, he read further down and in brackets 'the dragon heart ring was lost at sea while being transfer aboard by the Red Dragon armed ship', his eye's widen as the sunlight reflect from a near by window and into his eyes which broken his concentration. Closing the book closed he got up from his desk and headed outside, he grab his motorbike keys slipped on his black and orange leather jacket, collecting his bash hat from a corner table, which was next to his door as he open his top flat front door, making his way down the three flights of stairs he pass another tenant, who said in a clear voice, "Alright Keo, how's it hanging?" Keo looked up at his lower flat neighbour and replied, "Alright Sam, it's hanging large like and to the right, it's still early." Sam replied after she laugh to herself, "Oh! Cheers for that, I'm fell much better from your enlightenment you've just shared with me." They both laughed and carried on their ways.

Firing up his silver Kawasaki ninja, the 636cc engine roared as Keo pulled back on the throttle. Slipping on his helmet, dropping it down in first gear he wheeled spin on the loose gravel he shot of up the road his front wheel lifted briefly. Filtering though the traffic faster than normal speed. Reaching the A249 motorway Keo pulled the throttle back dodging in and out at 100mph, crossing Stockbury round about heading towards Detling hill he notice two cars racing one another, he thought to himself, 'Let's play!' The tuned up Corsa was telling a black Civic which was also tuned up. Keo weaved himself between them both, looked though their windows he nodded left and then to his right. The driver's both nodded back, Keo eased of the throttle a little and watched both cars pull away, looking down he was doing 64mph the Civic took the pole and the Corsa wasn't to far back Keo was bit further behind watching them switch places couple of times he pulled his throttle right back and gain distance on the Corsa, pop a mini wheelie as he zipped past him not noticing the traffic crash ahead of him the Civic slammed on his brakes, rear brake lights lite up and Keo quickly avoiding the slowing down Civic, the traffic ahead was light as the jack knifing empty car transporter had only started to jack knife, a loud bang was formed as it hit the car in front, the transporter ramps came unclipped from the impact the sparks shot from underneath the grinding metal ramps along the road as they we're being dragged. The jack knifed trailer was spread across both lanes Keo was moving to fast to stop, so he decided apply more throttle his front wheel pop up again and he went up the ramps, adenaline pumping around his body as he started to go up the car transporter right ramp. Sparks came from underneath his bike as his surpension bang on the ramp, ducking his head down behind the screen of his bike as he mounted the upper ramp of the transporter. As he reached the top he shouted out to himself, 'Holy Crap!' His bike left the ramp and flew past the rig which was to his left, the damage green Golf was spinning out, Keo cleared the Golf, beneath him he saw another car, just manage to clear it before he landed his rear wheel on the tarmac, sparks was made again as the rest of his bike landed. Temporally loose control of the bike he swerve right to left finally regaining control Keo carried on his way to Detling airsoft called 'Apologies' where he had a match.

Arriving at the grounds, still on a buzz from his near death experience, he couldn't wait to gear up with his four team strong to cause mayhem on the battlefield. Heading towards the safe zone to meet up with his other three team members, he saw his brother Kofi carrying two large army pattern duffle bags, making his way to him Keo yelled out, "Alright Kofi!" Kofi looked towards Keo and raised a arm once he dropped one of the bags on the table. Kofi then asked once Keo had joint him at the metal table, "Alright bruv! How are ya?" Keo replied in a excited manner, "All well, apart from my near death experience!!" Kofi laugh and said, "Oh yeah, do tell?" Undoing the duffle bag on the table he answered, "Well it's like this, I was riding my bike safely like always." Kofi quickly jumped in and said, "Yeah right, I believe ya. How many slip ups have you had on ya bike bro'?" Keo rolled his eyes and said quietly, "Only a couple of times." Kofi laughed again and replied, "Eight!! Anyway you was saying?" Keo carried on changing out of his bike gear and into his airsoft gear, he then said, "I was on my bike, going, well racing up the A249 a car transporter jack knifed over both lanes, I was going little to fast to stop so I had no choice I had to mount the ramps which came unclipped I hit them and boy, oh boy did I crap myself or what."what Kofi laughed and answered, "For real?" Nodding Keo said, "Yeah for real." Just as he finished speaking a voice from behind them saying, "Hello, did you miss me?" They both looked behind and said together, "Alright sparky." Sparky answered, "I guess you did." Dropping the gun bag on the table while he asked them, "Is Loo-Loo here yet? She has the rounds and mags." Within seconds of finishing his sentence Loo-Loo said, "Yeah she's here!" Bring a shoulder bag to the table. Keo got more pumped and said, "Let's lock and load." They all cheered and then started to load the mags into their weaponry.
