Once upon a time, in South Wales, there was a farm. The owner of the farm was Master Duggan and his 10-year-old apprentice John.
One day, John went out into the barn to feed the goats. He stepped into the barn and then he saw the goats going wild, shaking, jumping and all staring into the dark corner of the barn. He stepped in front of them, looked and peered into the darkness. “Show yourself, I demand you!!”
Just then he saw movement and great drums of fear pounded through his head! Strokes of pain shot down his back! John cried out with the pain. Then silence. He fell to the floor dead.
Master Duggan came rushing in as he heard the screams. He found John lying dead but his eyes were open. They were lifeless but still staring straight at the dark gloomy wall. He took a lantern and walked towards it.
It said:
“YOUR FAMILY WILL DIE IN 2 GENERATIONS AND THIS IS YOUR END. THIS IS YOUR MOMENT OF DARKNESS”.
He heard the pounding of drums in his head pounding, pounding. He quickly wrote a note to his son about the things he should tell the next generation.
He ran into the cool forest. A dark breeze was curling and he felt very alone. He strolled alongside the whispering trees and he had a feeling he was being watched...
Suddenly something squealed out behind him. He drew his sword and swung round and gazed at the huge foul, boar. It had long sharp red claws. he was frothing and dribberling from his mouth. It was the most horrendous creature that Joseph had ever seen! The grunting boar lurched towards him and swooped his claws at him. Joseph ducked and began to fight.
The Boar
“Cling! Cling! Clang!” went Joseph’s sword against the boar’s claws on and on went the fight until they were both worn out. Joseph then made a final blow, he stepped forward and slashed the hideous creature across the chest.
Then he heard it. A drumming, pounding noise and he saw a great army of boars coming towards him with torches, screaming and shrieking, their faces twisted with evil. They were laughing. Suddenly, a great beast swooped down from above. A figure which looked like a dragon as it reached Joseph morphed into a glowing green woman. She shouted with a sinister grin:
“Alas we are going to be free tonight. This boy shall die and the curse of his ancestor will be lifted. You boards shall become dark evil soldiers once again!” There was a sudden roar in the crowd. The woman drew her sword “I, princess of boar, shall kill you Joseph. Let us end this!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Just at that moment, a great white flash surrounded Joseph and he heard Ben and James, his father and grandfather saying “we are here, son, the generations are with you. We are with you” and the white glowing sheet wrapped around this sword giving it extra powers.
The princess charged at him with all her evil strength. Clank green and white sparks filled the air as their swords met. The princess got thrown back, with great force she flew backwards into the air. She fell onto the floor, her head hitting the bottom of a tree. Blood trickled from her nose and eyes. She was dead, a white blinding light scattered everywhere and all the boars vanished and night came to day.
Joseph stood up and looked around him. he smiled at his ancestors. “Thank you for helping me, our family will now always live in peace”. His ancestors agreed with him. Again a bright white light surrounded them and they morphed and melted together. They became brighter and formed a diamond which forged itself into the hilt of the sword as a sign of peace. Their voices could still be heard fading away: “we will always be with you”. Joseph lived happily ever after with his mother and brothers. And he eventually married and had sons of his own.
