Patrick and the Dragon

In a frozen cave to the north lived the last of the dragons. For years the beast had been terrorizing a nearby town, eating the livestock and burning down fields. When winter came the dragon would return to it's lair to sleep through the cold. The townsfolk thought this would be a good time to kill the beast, but all who tried would enter the cave never to return. [[Continue]]

One day a famous shakespearean actor was on tour and visited the town to promote his new movie Star Trek: Engage. After hearing the plight of the people and remembering his pledge as a knight, he decided to take matters into his own hands and face down the dragon. Before setting off on his quest to best the beast the people bestowed three gifts onto him to help him in his quest. A sword, large and mighty. The blade made of Tungsten and sharp enough to down a Redwood. Surely this would be strong enough to cutdown the beast. A silver shield, polished so that it could catch the light in any room and redirect it wherever the user wished. And a bow, made of the finest Methuselah. Its edges tipped with dragon bone donated from the Vatican that was collected during the Crusades. After receiving the relics from the townspeople, Sir Patrick set off on his quest to slay the dragon. [[Next]]

After an arduous 90 minute nature walk, Sir Patrick arrived at the dragon's den. He entered the opening to the cave and saw a flickering light far off in the darkness. Unable to see the ground in front of him, Sir Patrick had to think of a way to traverse the dangerous rocks ahead of him. [[Take out Sword]] [[Take out Shield]] [[Take out Bow]]

Sir Patrick used the shield to catch the light in the distance, which he used as a torch to light the path ahead. He gingerly walked through the rocks toward the dragon. [[Advance]]

Using the Tungsten sword, Sir Patrick sliced through the stones ahead of him. The Tungsten hitting the stone caused the sword to catch fire and though this lit the cave beautifully, it woke the dragon and Sir Patrick was no more.

Using the Bow to tap the ground in front of him like a blindman using their cane, he progressed deeper into the cave. Unfortunately the sound of the tapping woke the dragon and Sir Patrick had to flee.

While progressing through the cave, Sir Patrick encountered a smooth unclimbable platform seperating him and the Dragon. There was no way Sir Patrick could advance closer to the dragon, so if he wanted to smite the beast he would have to find a way to do so from here. Though the odds of success were stacked against him he had a choice to make: [[Engage]] [[Flee]]

After welling up the courage to fight, Sir Patrick had to come up with a plan to slay the beast from such a distance. [[Draw Sword]] [[Draw Shield]] [[Draw Bow]]

With a heavy heart from failing to keep his word to the townspeople, Sir Patrick returned to the town and broke the sad news of his failings. His movie was critically panned and was the biggest bomb since Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

Sir Patrick drew his sword and hurled it at the beast. Unfortunately the platform was too tall to hurl such a heavy weapon and it plunged back to the ground. [[Draw Shield]] [[Draw Bow]]

As Sir Patrick drew his shield a plan formulated in his head. If he could catch enough light from the dragon's breath, he could use it to set the dragon on fire, much like how a child burns ants with a magnifying glass. After aiming the focal point at the dragon for an hour, nothing happened and Sir Patrick had to come up with another plan. [[Draw Sword]] [[Draw Bow]]

Sir Patrick drew his bow and pulled back his arm. Unfortunately he realised he did not have any arrows so he had to think of something else. [[Draw Sword]] [[Draw Shield]] [[Hurl Rock]] [[Hurl Bow]]

Hurling a rock he found on the ground, didn't even stir the creature. Sir Patrick had to think of something else. [[Draw Sword]] [[Draw Shield]] [[Draw Bow]]

Sir Patrick hurled the bow with all his 83 years of might. The bow flew true and hit the dragon straight between the eyes. This startled the creature and it sprang up, smashing its skull into a low hanging stalagtite killing the beast instantly. [[Hooray]]

Sir Patrick returned to the town and regaled them with the story of his triumph. The townsfolk rejoiced and news of the deed spread throughout the world. Star Trek: Engage went on to become the highest grossing Star Trek movie of all time. THE END
