 * __ 1.Blood Town __** **__By: Jacob__**

There was a 21 year old named Scarface. Now Scarface was a great sword fighter. He trained his little brother, Swordhand. Swordhand was a pretty good sword fighter against his brother. His brother Scarface learned from Ironfist, their dad who had died as a solider in battle. Before Ironfist left, he taught Scarface every sword fighting move known to mankind. Scarface learned how to shoot a bow and arrow on his own and could shoot the arrow right on the bullseye five times in a row. That night he brought home three deer to cook and eat for dinner.

Swordhand, who is seven years old, was training with Scarface when the Slayers came through the trees. They were looking at them with hate in their eyes. The next thing you know, there is a battle bursting with blood, yells and violence. The Slayers were the people that had killed their Dad, Ironfist. They had easily gone through 21 of the Slayers and then their leader, the strongest warrior, arrived. He was on a horse with Ironfist laying on the back and unconscious. They were fighting the leader when Ironfist became conscious and fell off the horse not knowing where he was.The leader got away because Swordhand and Scarface were helping their Dad up. When they got home, their Ma tended to my wounds and while I told them what happened to me.

I told them that when I was fighting, one of the slayers knocked me out with a club and brought me back to the Slayer's base. Their base was a nice place with kids and women and the men were making swords. They took me to the castle which was the biggest castle I had ever seen and, by the way, the first Castle I had ever seen. They brought me to the torture room where they interrogated me. This was for information that you would never tell so they would have the strongest guy whip you for it. The leader told him to whip me a lot because all I said was "ow".

"That's an interesting story."said Swordhand. "So, what's for dinner?" "Deer," yelled Ma from the kitchen. "Swordhand and me are planning to leave on an adventure" Scarface said proudly. "Where will you go?" I asked. "We will find the leader of the Slayers and kill him." "How will you get there?" "We will take our horses or probably walk because I don't want my horse killed," said Scarface. "Do you need a map of the land?" "Yes, we might need a map." I gave Scarface the map that would take them through the Sawyer Forest, across the C.M.J.M River, down into the Gorge of George, across the moat, and into the Slayer's castle.

At dinner Swordhand asked his father if he could teach him some sword fighting. "Yes, on one condition. I get to go on the journey with you." Scarface asked, "Are you ready for adventure?" "Yes." "Are you ready for whatever comes to us face to face?" "Yes." "And are you ready to stick a sword into the throat of the Slayer's leader?" "YES!" "Then you may come with us." Then Scarface told Swordface and me how we would get there, when they would leave, and what they needed. They decided to leave in a month since that should give us enough time to pack, train, say good bye to Ma, and spend most of their time with Ma because this might be the last time we see her.

One Month Later: "Bye, Mom", said Scarface. "Bye, Son. Be Safe and take care of your brother and father." "Bye, Mom", cried Swordhand. "Bye, Honey", I said. "Be safe, take care and don't get killed".

When they were about to go into the trees, they waved good bye to their Ma with tears on their faces. They went into the trees after a big breath. There journey had begun and there was no turning back now. They thought about driving a sword through the heart of the Slayer's leader and then coming home to Ma with all parts and without a scar or scratch. They hoped to live a happy life all together as a family and go down in history as the three men who killed the Slayer's (including the leader). They knew that wasn't going to happen. They might get killed or have lots of wounds and scars. But they were determined to kill the leader of the Slayers even if it took their life away.

They took a look at the map to get on track. They looked and saw that they had to go east to get on the path that they planned out at home. So they went east until they were on track. They went on the path for about 30 minutes and then found a place to set up camp. They had shot three rabbits and a deer. They cooked the three rabbits, one of each of them. And set up a small temporary house without windows, so no one could get in or shoot them. They fell asleep with a good rabbit dinner in their stomachs. While they slept, somebody torched their temporary house. Swordhand woke up with flames around him. He woke Scarface and me. They grabbed their stuff and raced out the door! They went all the way home to tell their shocked Ma that there were people here that burned their temporary house down.

The next day, they ate breakfast and talked about their plans. Following more good byes to Ma, they went into the forest and went on track heading north. They walked three miles and set up a fire pit with rocks and wood. They didn't build anything to protect them and went to bed under the stars and trees. They had a safe, restful night. They continued through the forest and saw some shadows that moved. As they walked, they saw a small cottage. It said on the sign, "GO AWAY"! But we didn't go away because otherwise Swordhand threatened to scream "AAAAAAAH" all the way to the Slayer's base if we left. We went up to the cottage and knocked on the door five times. When the door opened, a boy about 16 years old, 5' 9" tall, and very muscular answered. He asked, "What are you doing here? Can't you read?!" Swordhand yelled, "We can read Mister!" "Then why are you here?", he asked. "We are going to the Slayer's base to kill the leader!" "Why didn't you just say so. Come in, come in".

They walked in and the boy, Sawyer, offered them food and drinks. We thanked him since we were starving. While they were eating their ham sandwiches with lemonade, Sawyer went to get some things that he thought we would enjoy. He came back with a big bag about two yards long. He brought out three guns and bullets a lot of bullets. Sawyer opened the door and three black staleons and he brought out tools. He said that these things where ours now. Then he went inside and startedpacking like he was going to a place after we left. I went into the room and asked,"Where are you going?" "I am going with you." "What?!" "I didn't tell you because I thought that you would reject me." "We wouldn't have rejected you anyone who is willing to shove a sword through that that murder we would have included!" "Well can I come with you then?" "Fine." The next day Scarface showed Sawyer the plan that they where taking. For breakfast they had pancakes and talked about things like with these guns we could blow Slayers from the inside out. We laughed when we were about to leave Sawyer said," Oh no I forgot something." he ran back inside the house and came out with a puppy Sawyer said," I can't forget her she is only ten months old and not quiet potty trained." "What's her name?" "Bailey." We started heading toward the end of the Sawyer forest., When we could see the end of the forest we sprinted toward it. When we reached it, there were lots of cows. We reached a bucket and started to milk the cows. We got three big buckets of milk that we drank and stopped in a near by cavern it was called "The Tavern Of Death" or T.T.O.D. We went in to have a hamburger and a ale or two. When we walked out of there we where almost as fat as a pig, at least we felt like it. We started for the motel we slept in queen beds and also slept like babies. We came out with a full belly and Bailey got feed by the manager. They headed toward the J.M.C.M. River they went through hedges shot a buffalo and they reached the river we looked across it looked like a ocean it was so wide we estimated about three miles long. We came to the water's edge and drank with our mugs from the "The Tavern Of Death" we found a old boat that we fixed up and set up a camp with a fire and a tent or two We had buffalo that night we tried to finish it off so that we could use the bones as weapons. Swordhand learned that in school the people of the past ate buffalo, and used every part of it. When they woke they where wondering how they where to get across when Scarface saw a old boat they finished eating the buffalo and bought out the tools that Sawyer gave them like a screwdriver, a hammer, a torch, and a wrench. They cut down a couple of trees so they could repair the wooden piece of junk into a holiday tour boat. They started working on the holes in the side of the boat and they had made a pen out of bone and wrote a blueprint made of tree bark and homemade ink. They decided to have it be a sailboat. That night they still had to put a couple of touches left but otherwise they where done they fell asleep with deers in their stomach. Scarface woke up early that morning he couldn't go
