Chapter 1

Uruk-hai

BOOM! BOOM! James got out of his bed. What's that noise? James wondered. BOOM! BOOM! The noise sounded like drums. Is it… No, it can't be. James thought. Uruk-hai… BOOM! BOOM! The drums were getting closer. Then, James heard people shouting. But they weren't people talking, they were the Uruk-hai. James got out his bow, for he was the son of Apollo, the archer god, the sun god, and the music god, the god of healing, the light god, and the god of truth. (Wow, he has lots of powers!) James ran out of his house and saw Uruk-hai, the enemy. Uruk-hai are orcs, but they are stronger than regular orcs, like goblins. The enemy spotted James and charged him. James grabbed two arrows from his quiver, fitted them both on the string, and released. The arrows got two Uruk-hai in the breastplate. But, there were two hundred more to go. This time, James got an arrow and shot it at the sky. The Uruk-hai looked up to see what was going to happen. All of a sudden, a thousand arrows came down from the sky. Many of the foul beasts died, but there was a couple remaining. James reached into his quiver and searched for an arrow. There wasn't anymore. Damn it! James thought. But, James drew his two daggers and charged the orcs.

"YAHHHHH!" James yelled.
