Tales of the Sacred Pickaxe
As a child, you've heard or read stories or tomes of great heroes ranging from Superman to Peter Pan. This is not such a tale filled with super powered men in tights or a flying boy with a fairy. This tale is filled with great tragedy, comedy, and possibly some romance. And so the sun ruses upon our first scene, a young man, lying under a canopy of leaves
[1]
The young man mentioned earlier is named Tyler. He is a strong, 17 year-old male… "Oh my God, shut up." Tyler said as he was regaining consciousness. "Where am I?" he asked, "Jane, you here?" Confused he was to the disappearance of his companion. "Alright, whoever is talking SHUT UP!" he shouted
So Tyler ventured on through the forest carrying only an Iron Sword upon his waist. As the sun began to set, our hero had fashioned himself a bow from a few sticks and the intestines of spiders (REALLY large spiders.) "Come at me Bastards!" Tyler shouted into the night, sword in hand, ready to face any demon who opposed him in combat. Within moments, a person from a local village appeared from the brush, "Stand down, I'm not going to attack." The villager said. This villager was a little girl, four feet, three inches tall with brown eyes and black hair. Seeing how Tyler is six feet, one inch tall, the little girl sees him as a possible threat. "Are there any villages nearby?" Tyler asked has he sheathed his sword, "Yeah, follow me" she replied.
As they walked to the village, an injured wolf limped out from behind a tree. When the wolf appeared, the girl coward behind Tyler scared out of her mind, "Wait. Its hurt" Tyler said to comfort the child. "I never got your name, kid" he said, as he tended to the wolf, giving it a bone to gnaw on. "My name is Angela" she said, shivering in the cold of night, "My name's Tyler," he said "You should be all patched up. Angela, are we lost?" "No. My village is two miles north of here" she replied, "Then what's over there?" A set of 20-30 lights off in the distance shown through the night. "That's home!" Angela cried as she ran to the village, "You're gonna follow me," Tyler asked the wolf "Alright, let's go!"
So the three ran onto the village when all of a sudden, a band of thieves descended upon them. "Bad move walkin' here at night" said a thief, "Challenging me is your biggest mistake" Tyler replied as he quickly drew his blade. "What's one sword going to do against fifteen of us? Kill us all?" said the thief, the others laughed hysterically. "That is correct. Angela, take the wolf to the village square and wait for my arrival," Tyler said calmly "I told you challenging me was your biggest mistake," as the thieves closed in on him, Tyler flourished his blade so elegantly, he struck down the fifteen thieves in a single move "You just didn't heed my warning."
The brave warrior walked into the village as the sun was rising. Angela saw him through the early morning fog. She was happy, yet, she grimaced with pain. One of the thieves shot her with an arrow to her left knee. "You need a medic, now!" Tyler exclaimed as Angela collapsed from exhaustion and pain, "MEDIC!" he shouted. The wolf's gaze was on the unconscious girl, a sad look upon its face. ***
