Chapter 3………………
Awake upon an island you’d thought you’d never see..
I awoke I guess I was knocked out a while as it was daytime and people had crowded round me. “He’s awake!” people said above me as I looked up and saw many of their faces however the sun only barely shone through as if the people blocked it from view like cloud’s bunched together. I sat up and looked around some of my friend’s were here or what was left of them. I never really had “real” friend’s just a couple of imaginary ones. “What happened?” said some of the kid’s. I looked behind me and saw a massive rubble gathered in to one place it was what was left of my home………
I had become an orphan. I had no place to go so it was decided I stay with my next door neighbour. All my dream’s of being a knight were over. I always wanted to be a knight dreamed about it and stuff like all the other guy kid’s in my village. And I really didn’t want to live with my neighbour so I decided that I would leave and look for the lord of the land, and hopefully he would train me.
So I spent a couple of week’s at my neighbour’s preparing for my trip I would need food so I snuck as much of that as I could.
Second I needed a sword or a weapon so I began constructing a wooden sword, every time my neighbour left the house for her trip to the market I would go out to the garden and start sharpening a blade.
Third I needed transport I thought a boat would be the best idea so I started drawing plan’s for one. It was time to uphold my dream time to leave my hometown…little did I know becoming a knight was difficult task….and yet little did I know finding a lord was an even more difficult task.
“How was your day?” “Fine” I muttered in reply. She gave me a dark look “well eat up now come on”, I began to eat all that I thought of was the best way to escape. Then something else crossed my mind I remembered the night I tried to escape from my parent’s house. That night I was going to try “accidently” run in to a girl that I liked. This made me remember the guy’s who murdered my parents who were they?. Where were they now?. But I didn’t have time for that now I had to leave so after dinner I snuck out my bedroom window and headed for the river, the river Boyne a massive river where fishermen would fish and I in my childhood years played. As I headed out in to the night I remembered every good moment I had had in my life all my memory’s of my childhood. I took a deep breath and set my although lousy sturdy boat on the river wondering would I ever come back.
Two day’s past since I’d set sail the water was rough here and rocks were a plenty. “Whoa” I said as the ship rocked back and forth I could sense a storm coming I would need to prepare for it so I began to make a temporary shelter over my boat and continued down the river…….. It was midnight and the storm had struck my boat rocked back and forth when out of the corner of my eye I saw my mothers picture falling overboard. “No!” I shouted I dived out of my boat and after the picture then I realised how stupid this was , I couldn’t swim.
