THE PROLOGUE

The trolls cave lined with gold and silver, was dark and gloomy and if you went in far enough you would be able to hear the crunching of bones and the dripping of blood and smell the horrible stench of rotten flesh. And if you were lucky enough to get close to the main source of light and the sound of death you will find a tall, dark green coloured troll picking off his last victim, which if you really want to know was at traveller who wandered too far into the cave. The outside of the cave looked particularly normal expect for the ancient writing on the rocks above the cave the ancient writing looked like this Εδώ βρίσκεται και το troll των θεών, ο θάνατος σας περιμένει αν εισάγετε. This in English means here lies the troll of the gods; death awaits you if you enter. It was created and wrote at the time of the Greeks at 800bc and has existed since then.

CHAPTER 1

The brave knight’s returned from there quest, that was to try and find the dragon’s heart and there was no chest, which meant no heart, with them. They were 3 men short who were probably dead.

The page boy looked on in wonder at the brave knights who were unsuccessful at their quest, but still happy that they survived. The page boy had heard rumours that the dragon’s heart was hidden away in an unreachable place far away from here. It was guarded by a fearsome creature that hunted for food, every day and every night.

That night the page boy’s sleep was relentless, he keep waking with the thought that evil dragons were attacking the castle. But each time he woke there was no sound at all just the gentle whistle of the wind

CHAPTER 2

When dawn broke early the next morning frost covered everything, the people woke with the cold biting at their fingers.

It was a Saturday, the 22^nd to be exact, and the page boy was going on his daily chores, these consisted of:

·        cleaning out the stables

·        clean the knights’ armour (all 25 of them)

·        sharpen the swords (there are 55 in total)

The page boy then would wander through the forest looking for new plants but today was different because he would go to the Διονυσος (DIONYSOS) which is a god’s mountain it is very sacred so hardly anyone goes there and today the page boy is going there to explore but he has to sneak past the guards because children under the age of 18 are not allowed anywhere near.

Eventually the page boy snuck past the guards and crawled through the gap in the old white fence. As he crawled through a sharp thorn ripped at his clothes and made a deep cut across his leg and he cried out in pain but he crawled on, being careful not to go near any thorns. As he crawled out of the bushes he stared in amazement at the luxury temple built for the god of wine and gaiety. It was made out of pure gold; it had several offerings already of wine. The page boy couldn’t get in so he went round the back of the temple and found a small window, he climbed through. In front of him were two pairs of expensive looking boots. He took of his shoes and put them on. In a flash he wasn’t in the temple but he was surrounded by gold. It was gloomy. He heard a grunt from a nearby corner, it sounded like a troll.

CHAPTER 3

Out of the shadow came a big troll with blood dripping from its mouth. It had not acknowledged him yet, but as he coughed, it turned round and threw him against the wall. By the wall was a small door, it was a tight squeeze and he was almost through it when the troll started pulling at his leg. He kept trying to shake it off. After 2 minutes it gave up and the page boy finally was outside in the cold. He didn’t know where he was and he headed for a bright light in the distance, but what he didn’t realise was, that he was being followed by the troll.

CHAPTER 4

That night the page boy stayed at the village he had found, it was a sleepless night, with the wind creeping through the gaps in the walls, bringing the cold with it.

When dawn broke early that morning the page boy was wide awake and preparing himself to kill the troll but first he had to go back to the castle to tell the knights and steal a sword after an hour run to the castle after asking people in the village where it is. He ran in and went straight to the king, an hour later he was riding on the back of a horse heading for the trolls cave as they got near some of the knights went to find the dragons heart while the rest headed for the cave.
