Talons of Power

 Hello Readers!

At school, we have been writing a narrative story. I leart that the purpose of a narrative is to entertain the reader. First we had to make a plan. Then we started writing our narrative story. We had to include seeting, characters and personafurcason.One of my favourite sentences is the inky black water simmered in the dim light of the glow worms. One thing I could improve on is adding more language features. We were not allowed to use words like 'said' or 'walked'.

Here is mine. (Leave a comment if you are entertainment )

Talons of Power

Chapter 1
The Great Escape


Cold rocks and more rocks is what Sundew had grown up in, a cave. She was almost full-grown but had never seen the sky. In the caves there was only one old oak tree. That is where sundew slept. The other dragonets didn’t seem to mind living in a cave. All except Sandstorm and Bumblebee, who both wanted to feel the sun on their scales. They were here because of the prophecy that the nightwings made with their ‘future seeing powers.’ 


“FIGHT!” Yelled Auk one of their 3 guardians. Auk was the icewing and the meanest one. “OW!” yelled Sora as Auk stomped on her tail. 

“You said stomping tails was cheating!” Poor Sora, she was the biggest of the group so she was supposed to be the scary, tough one. But so far she was as scary as a fly. “I’m your teacher, nothing I do is cheating.” snapped Auk, backing Sora into a corner. As quietly as she could Sundew glided off the ledge she was sitting on, crept up behind Auk and sunk her sharp teeth in Auk’s tail. “ YEOWWW” Yelled Auk spinning around to face the sundew. “Come fight me instead!” she challenged. “Challenge accepted,.” purred Auk, clawing at Sundew’s face. Sundew ducked and slipped under Auk, and clawed at her underbelly. “ENOUGH!” yelled Auk. “ Fireball should be back with dinner soon.” snapped Auk. 


Sundew could taste the blood pouring out of her snout. “What’s wrong?” asked Orka, the seawing dragonet. “Oh nothing, just bleeding a bit.” She replied. “No problem, just jump in the river!” Orka advised. Jump in the river was Orka's answer to all the dragonets problems. ‘Hungry, jump in the river!’ ‘Sleepy, jump in the river!’ ‘Sick of jumping in the river, JUMP IN THE RIVER!!’ “ Oh, ok I have to cross the river to get to my tree anyway.” “Yay!” cherped Orka. Sundew walked over to the underground river and stuck in one claw. Suddenly one of Orka’s talons reached out of the blue and pulled her into the river. “AHHHHHHH TOO COLD!” yelled sundew as she paddled across to the tree. She climbed out of the river.


Sundew climbed up into her secret treehouse. There was a stack of scrolls on the brown, wooden floor and a map of Montana was on top of her desk. This was a place where no one could bother her. There was only one dragon who knew about the treehouse, and that was Orka. Orka slept in the river and was the only dragon who did not sleep in the sleeping cave. Even if Orka didn't know about the tree house now, she would find out from the glowing light of Sundew’s study torches. 


“Sundew! Sundew, where are you?! Fireball is back with dinner!!” shouted Creek. Creek was the nicest of the three guardians. He was a seawing and spent most of his time teaching Orca the seawing underwater language called ‘Aqua’. Sundew poked her head out of the tree. She flew down to the dinner hall, grabbed a cow and flew back to her treehouse. Where she ate it and went to bed. 


Sundew crept out of her treehouse at midnight and she knew exactly where she was going. The sleeping cave. It was dark in the cave but no problem with her night vision. “Guys wake up and listen to me!” She snapped. Suddenly all eyes were on her. “ We need to escape. We need to meet our parents. So who knows a good way out?” she asked. “There is a tunnel at the end of the underground river past the fight cave. I think it might lead to the ocean.” Explained Orka. “Well that was easy” exclaimed Sundew.  “Ok, bye now” she said as she flew back to the treehouse, and slowly drifted off to sleep. 


“WHAT DID YOU DO WITH IT?” Yelled Auk. Sundew crept out of the old, slightly broken treehouse and glided over to Orka. They swam in the river and under the stone wall to the guardian's sleeping cave. “Hey, we don't know if she was the one who took it!” snapped Creek. The seawing was sitting in the shallow end of the river. His dark, greeny blue scales were dancing in the firelight. In the corner of the cave Sundew spotted familiar black and sun yellow scales. It was Bumblebee. Why is Bumblebee in the guardian's cave? She wondered “OF COURSE SHE TOOK IT!” screamed Auk. “Took what?” asked Bumblebee. “Now Bumblebee, Do you know what a dream visitor is?” Asked Fireball. “Oh yes, I’ve read about them in books. There were only 8 made by an old magical nightwing.” she replied “Yes, Bumblebee I know you like to explore, So tell me one thing. Three nights ago did you steal a dream visitor from our cave?” Asked Fireball. “ Of course not.” replied Bumblebee. Oh no, What if they find out it was me who took it. Wondered Sundew as she swam back to her treehouse.


Where is it?!? Her mind was racing. AHA! There it was it looked like a blue star. She closed her eyes. Show me Queen Wasp. The sand was hot and the sun was beating down. There standing in the middle of the desert was Queen wasp. Her crown was a glittery silver. It worked! The dream visitor had brought to Queen wasp! “You’re one of the dragonets from the prophecy, aren't you?” cooed Wasp. “ Beware the darkness of dragons. Beware the stalker of dreams. Beware the talons of power and fire. Beware the one who is not what she seems. Something is coming to shake the earth. Something is coming to scorch the ground. Owl mountain will fall beneath thunder and ice unless the city of night can be found.” recited Sundew.  “So you're serious about this whole thing?” asked Wasp. “Oh no, to me it's just a silly poem. Sora is the one that's full on about it, I don’t know why.” She politely replied. “Mother, who is this dragon?” asked someone from behind wasp. “This is one of the dragonets from the prophecy Jewel.” replied wasp. “AHHHHH!!” There was a noise coming from the river. Gotta go! screamed her mind. 


She opened her eyes and she was back inside the treehouse. Sundew stuffed the dream visitor in her desk and glided down to the river where Orka was all chained up in the water! “THERE GOING TO KILL BUMBLEBEE BECAUSE SHE'S NOT THE SKYWING THE PROPHECY NEEDS!” shouted Orka. “OH NO!” shouted Sundew. “I WILL ESCAPE AND SAVE HER!” exclaimed Sundew. “This is not a good idea, '' advised Sandstorm. “ OH SHUT UP YOU BOOKWORM!” snapped Orka “But how will she find her way back?” asked sandstorm. “Hmmm, Good point. We can burn some books so the smoke goes through the sky hole!” explained Orka. “NOOOOOO! NOT THE BOOKS ANTHING BUT THE BOOKS!” cried Sandstorm. “All in favour of burning the books say I,” called Sundew. “I” called the other dragonets. “Well fine, It's not like those books where my life.” said Sandstorm. “OFF TO THE RIVER!” shouted sundew diving in. It was cold in the river. She swam downstream. Following the current, she made her way into the little gap under the cave wall. This was it, she was finally going to see the sun.


Sundew couldn't breathe underwater, but she could see in the dark. Something was sticking to her scales. It was sticky and white. The inky, black walter simmered in the dim light from the glowworms at the top of the cave. Suddenly she toppled off an edge and was plummeting down to the water. “AHHHHHH!” she screamed. That was all she could remember before she passed out.


Mud. Sundew woke up covered in mud. The blue sky was filled with black and yellow dragons. Sandstorm was right about where their underground prison was. In Hivewing Territory. She looked around and saw the boulder leading to their underground home. She was looking at her prison from the outside. She dug a hole in the mud that led under the boulder. “AHHHHHHHH!” screamed Sora. “Calm down, it's just me!” claimed Sundew. “Now get the others its escape time!” Called Sundew “YAY!” Yelled Sora. “SHE IS BACK!” Called Sora. “You actually made it back,” said Sandstorm, as quiet as a mouse. “Ya, wow thanks for having so much faith in me.” Hooted sundew. 


They flew out of the muddy reven and landed by an old oak tree. “A seawing, a leafwing, a mudwing, a sandwing and a hivewing, all together. You must be the dragonets.” Cooed Queen wasp from behind them.


“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!” screamed Sora as the guards locked them up in the dungeons. “You know, some dragons don’t want this war to end. Some dragons want owl mounton to fall along with all the dragonets inside it.” Cooed Wasp walking out of the dungeon. 


 When Wasp was gone, The three princesses trotted in. Cicada was the oldest and the scariest. Testy was the most evil and cunning. Jewel was the prettiest and the smartest. Jewel was also the only princess who wasn't evil. “What are these stupid dragonets doing here?” Snapped Testy “These are the ones from the prophecy. DAH!” replied Jewel.  “Then why don’t we kill them right now?” Asked Cicada. “Because we need them alive. They need to kill Mother and choose one of us to be Queen. If we killed them, Mother would be Queen forever. Plus if we killed them no one would believe it’s them. Even if we hung them from the palace walls, no one would believe it. They would keep believing in the prophecy anyway. Idiots. “Kind of like you two,” replied Jewel. The other two sisters looked stunned. “Oh.” they both said at the same time. A guard came running in “Queen Wasp has ordered me to tell princesses Cicada, Testse and Jewel to all go to bed.” He snapped. The three princesses trotted out the room.


That was only chapter 1. The rest will be coming soon.

My Amazing Narrative

 In class We have been writing a Narrative about a video called Marshmallows. Here is mine . (and the video link

Marshmallows

Smoke danced in the sky with the stars. The fire was as hot as the sun in the cold night air. I was camping in the woods. I saw a shadow creep across the grass. I looked behind me and saw a humongous lime green monster!!! 


The monster had a long tale and lime green skales all over him. He had green eyes and three legs, sharp teeth and long things that stuck out of his ears. He had a long tongue and floating eyebrows. 


I stood up and turned around.  I put up the stick that I was roasting my marshmallow on and pointed it at the monster.  The monster's eyes widened and he ate the marshmallow. So I took another one out of the bag. The monster did a flip and landed on his back so I gave him a marshmallow.  “I have no more marshmallows!” I said. 


The monster's face darkened. I ran as fast as I coud and I tripped on a rock.  Suddenly the monster sprang towards me, I took a pillow and held it against my face. The monster's eyes widened and I threw the pillow away. The monster sprang towards it and I ran all the way home.


Hope you enjoyed my blog post!💖 Feel free to comment. 😸🥺 See you soon!💖😻

My Spectacular Narrative

At school we have been learning to write a Narrative. We had to base the narrative on a photo. Here is mine (and the photo)

It was a dark and stormy night. I was going for a walk down the wet and windy road when I saw something running towards me. I started to run but a big gust of wind blew against my face. I released I was standing on a sewer drain, and it couldn't stay in place with me standing on it!  

Suddenly the sewer drain collapsed and I fell down into the sewer! When I fell I saw something move. It moved so quickly I could hardly see what it was. All I knew was that there was something in the sewer with me. Something creepy and small. I decided to keep moving to try and find another sewer drain. It was creepy but something in my brain kept telling me to keep moving. So I did. 

I kept walking and I saw a word written on the wall in red. Molly! I was starting to get very scared and I felt like I should turn back but something kept pulling me further. Suddenly I saw a creepy doll on the wall behind the doll was the word Molly!  “The doll’s name must be Molly.” I thought.

The doll had long yellow  hair, a black dress, black shoes and a brown teddy bear stuck to her hand.  I went to have a better look at the doll, when I saw something move again. This time it came running at me! “AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” I screamed. It was still coming closer and closer. When it got to me I released it was just a little baby rat. “That must have been what I saw moving when I fell,” I thought. The rat ran away and I looked at the doll. “It must have been left here many years ago,” I said.  I walked past it going closer and closer to the red wall.

When I got to the end of the cold damp sewer there was a big red wall. The wall had a wet black ladder on it. “This ladder must lead up to the surface.” I said with my hopes up. Then I realised that the baby rat I saw didn't have a family. I climbed back down the ladder and found the baby rat. I carefully picked her up and put her in my pocket where she fell asleep. I named her Ruby and I started to climb the ladder. 

When I got to the top of the ladder I climbed out of another drain. I ran home and found out Ruby was very dirty and she seemed very hungry. When I finished feeding Ruby I gave her a bath in the black sink. Then I found out that she was actually a white rat! She was adorable. 

The only problem was I needed to find somewhere where she could sleep. I went to the shop and got a big cage. I put the cage in my room on my desk. I filled the cage up with toys, a food and water bowl, a mouse bed and a Hamster Wheel so she could stretch her legs as I was sleeping.

The End!

My Amazing Narrative


We have been learning to write a Narrative. We had to bass the narrative on a photo. Here is mine (and the photo)











One day I was walking through the woods and I heard a big loud crash! I ran out of the woods and came to the edge of a big beautiful lake. CRASH! I heard the waves crash against the cliff I was standing on. Suddenly I felt someone pushing me closer and closer to the edge but when I turned around to see what it was I fell straight into the lake!  When I got to the bottom of the lake I passed out and when I woke up laying down on the sandy beach and the lake was calm. 

I saw something swim away quickly. I caught a glimpse of its tail before it swam away. The tail was glittery, scaly and it was pink and purple. It looked so majestic. I looked around me and realised that I better be getting home. I didn’t want to leave because I knew I would forget where it was. So I  picked up some stones, and left a trail of stones on the way home.

I started walking, dropping stones as I went. When I was back in the woods I saw something move. I looked around but saw nothing, so I continued walking. Suddenly I saw a creepy doll. The doll had long yellow hair, black shoes on, a black dress and had a small brown teddy bear stuck to her hand. The reason she was so creepy was that I saw her eyes move. Not like one of those blinking dolls. Her eyes moved side to side. I ran home as fast as I could still dropping stones. But that was a bad idea. Then I thought that the doll was the one that pushed me into the lake. At frost I thought it was crazy, but the more I thought about it the more it made scene. 

That night I couldn't sleep. I was too scared to close my eyes just in case the doll arrived. Suddenly my door swung open but there was no one there! Then I saw something fly into my room! It was a fairy. She sat on my night table and told me that he would watch the door so the doll wouldn't appear. I was going to ask her how she knew about the doll. But I fell asleep as soon as she finished her sentence. 

The next morning I got ready and then went outside and followed the trail of stones. I was a bit scared because I thought I might find the doll again but she didn't appear. So I decided the doll was just a hallucination. 

The reason I was going back was because I needed to see  what it was that swam away from me. Although I didn't want to fall in the lake again I knew it was the only way to find it. So I leaped into the water. Suddenly I saw something swimming towards me. 

It was a mermaid! She touched me and I started to feel a little weird. I opened my eyes and saw that I was growing a pink and purple mermaid tail! “What’s happening!” I screamed. “I touched you so you're turning into a mermaid.” sad the mermaid.  “My name is Sky .” said Sky  “My name is Ruby” I said. Suddenly I heard my mum call me “How do I change back into a human!” I asked anxiously. “You just touch the sand,” said Sky. When I touched the sand my tail disappeared and I went home with my mum. Every single day I go into the lake and play with sky.

The End
