Essay writing Fantasy 1

One sunny morning my friends and I were hiking at broga hill  and we were chatting along when I saw a squirrel.  I was quickly distracted and I chased after the squirrel and soon forgot about my friends.

  I knew I was lost, but I needed to survive by my own.   For start, I made some glass by burning sand and made my own binocular.  I climbed up a tree and try to figure where I was.  I saw a village about a few trees away.  There I went, and I saw natives and they warmheartedly welcomed me in.  They served me some food and led me to a small hut to rest.  I thanked them and went to explore the jungle a bit before I went to rest.  After some walking, I saw an egg, in fact a huge one, some 2 feet high.  When I grabbed it, I heard a thunderous and deafening roar.  I was shocked when I saw a Thunderdrum dragon.  Frightened and exited, I slowly put back the egg and approached the dragon.  I patted his head and he seem to like me.  I carved a saddle out of wood and saddled him.  I rode him back to the village.  The natives were astonished to see me with the dragon.

  The chief came and told me a story.  He said that one day his men saw some an egg in the forest nearby, when they took it, the dragon came and the natives threw their spears at him.  The dragon attacked the men and killed some of them.  The rest are terribly injured, so they went back to the village.  The chief thanked me again for taming that dragon.  I stayed in the village for a few nights before I started of again.  After I thanked the villagers again, I started my journey.  I rode thunderdrum and explored the forest.

  Something sparkling caught my eye.  We flew down and saw an old trapdoor, my dragon is to big to go in so I left him outside before going in.  I started to feel dizzy and suddenly I popped out.  When I opened my eyes, I saw myself in an underground city with many robot dinosaurs.  It looked very familiar but I can't make out what it was.  After walking for a while I came to a dino's house.  I peeked in and saw some weird pets.  One was a cannon, the other looked like a rocket missile, the other like a sun with laser spectacles.  I immediately remember, it was the game I created on paper, "Robot Dino".  I was very exited, after a long day, I came out of the trapdoor.  Thunderdrum was happier than ever to see me.

  Suddenly I remembered about my family and friends.  Thunderdrum led me out of the forest, and I bid farewell to thunderdrum and left for home.  I was very happy and tired and I had a good lesson on training dragons and surviving in the jungle for a few days.
