The Seven Nation Army Knife

by Gen Boss Jr

I took an astronomy class and the professor big on creativity; so for the mid-term he asked us to take three items from our pockets, take four real stars and create a constellation and a myth about that constellation. This is what I wrote. P.S. I wrote this is under an hour, so don't expect greatness.

There once was a man, a man who was faster than the speed of light. This man was entrusted with a mission, to deliver a bag full of the treasures of the worlds nations and the people within them. Through his adventures around the world he faced many hardships and challenges that tested his resolve. Knowing he would not be able to complete this quest on his own, a king entrusted a powerful weapon to this man to aid him on his journey, the Seven Nation Army Knife.

The knife was made by seven nations who each contributed one precious metal that could only be found in there lands. The knife was so difficult to forge however that the armies from the seven nations to hammer together the different metals together. Even with the combined strength of the seven armies, the knife was proving to difficult to forge. They say the only way they achieved the creation of the knife was with a combined and simultaneous beat that was extremely catchy, haunting every soldier who helped create the knife.

The man traveled all across the world with this knife, defending himself from attacks, hunting wild animals for food, making fire, cloth for bandages, and hundreds more uses. Every single time the man used the knife, the power of armies of those seven nations helped forge the knife helped him conquer any challenge, knowing that if he failed his mission all the men who helped create the blade work would be in vain. And upon final delivery he made, the gods acknowledged his impressive feat and dedicated four stars to his journey: Polaris, Castor, Rigel, and Algol.

A/N: For those wondering what the three objects were, a Flash key chain, Swiss Army Knife, and coins. And for kicks I voice acted this story on YouTube Channel: (Coming Soon)
