Narrative sample

 I heard a whisper but no one was there... 

It was a normal day sun shining and birds chirping perfect day for a jog I thought I was going to do my normal jog around the neighborhood but my ears pick me up off my feet when I hear someone talking about a forest he says “folks have been saying that there is a magic forest not far past the river they say it’s the most beautiful forest on the outside but dangerous on the inside” I think to myself he must be lying maybe he’s trying to scare people or something I’m gonna check it out. 

I head off to the river “magic forest whatever, magic is fake harry potter is just a movie” I say to myself as I’m heading to the forest. I arrive at the river and there is a beautiful looking forest but is it the one he talked about I wonder, I look around for some way to cross the river and I see a rickety old bridge I quickly head towards it and push on it a little “seem’s stable” I say I cross the bridge with caution and easily make it to the other side I begin walking into the forest when I hear something I look around to see if there was anyone but nope nowone was there I continued into the forest and hear it again but this time much clearer it sounded like it said “turn back now” must be my mind playing tricks on me I strolled through the forest and hear it again as quick as a whip I spin around to see who was there, but again nowone I started getting goosebumps I turned back around and continued walking I looked up to see it was already mid-day, “I better start heading home” I said.

I turned around and started sprinting in the direction I originally came from and the forest seemed to never end I sprinted for hours and what felt like days and still wasn’t out of the forest I looked the way I came from and was shocked to see I hadn’t moved at all I was in the same spot, “maybe this place is really magic” I said just as I was about to look around I heard a voice again but this time it said “To escape you must find the kingdom and face me yourself” what could that possibly mean “I am in the middle of the woods with no sign of home and just trees around me were am I supposed to find a giant kingdom” I said frustratedly and then I heard something else not a voice more of a cracking sound then suddenly the floor below me began to crumble and crack I tried to get away but tripped and fell into the hole it was creating. I looked around and it seemed that I was in a cave well trapped in a cave because the surface was no longer visible. I then saw two tunnels one with a light coming from it and the other with nothing but the dark. I obviously went down the radiant one. 

I walked down the tunnel with the light and saw some grass and some gold road looking thing I stepped onto I followed the grass and found what looked like the kingdom it was mostly gold but some of it was silver then two trolls came to me and said “come with us” so I did as they said because they didn’t look friendly they lead me to a big circle arena looking place he took me down to a room below surface level where there were people boxing, swinging swords and firing bows they seemed to be training I overheard one of them say “he won’t last one round” and as I walked I thought about what he said one round of what the troll’s finally stopped they told me to get ready and they left I was left there confused no long after the trolls left a man came and told me what I was doing he said “you are in a arena fight you must fight others to win the prize of freedom” I replied with “what do you mean freedom” “we are trapped here not being able to go anywhere but the kingdom” he said he then left I got ready for battle I had never fought before so this is probably gonna hurt I found some armor and a sword the sword was kinda heavy but I managed to use it I also found what looked like a pair of wings so I tried to put those on then they started flying around I tried to catch them but before I knew it they stuck themself to my back I practiced with them a little bit and mid way through practicing the trolls came back and said “your up, let’s go”.

I walked with the trolls to the arena and I saw a huge crowd cheering I heard who seemed to be the leader of this say “let the fight begin” A huge gate opened across the arena from me and a giant troll came out “defeat him and they let you go” said one of the trolls The gate behind me closed and the lizard charged at me I quickly flew up and the lizard smashed into the gate I healed my sword up and dived down the lizard was just as quick as me and spun around and wacked me with his tail into a wall my sword had flown out of the arena I quickly got on my feet and flew to the middle of the arena to grab another weapon this time I grabbed a bow and some arrows then flew straight up I fired a few arrows at the lizard but his skin was to thick he then tried to use his tongue to grab me but missed and knocked over a barrel of oil into the arena I quickly though of a plan I dipped my arrow in some oil and scraped my arrow on the side of the wall to create a spark my arrow was now on fire I lured the lizard over to the next barrel and one after another he knocked them off soon the hole arena was filled with oil the lizard was also covered in it I fired a arrow at the oil and everything went up in flames the lizard and the arena I had one the grand master said “here is your freedom” and I woke up back at the river I sprinted home as fast as I could and there it was my home. The End
