Period 2
Odyssey Final Project
Today is February 15. I'm on a long a treacherous journey. My
team's goal is to capture the
enemy flag. I am only armed with a stick that Jonathon Todd gave
to me as a present for being
nominated as captain. My men are equally armed. If we were going
to come back alive home we must
play it smart. We hear the yell of the enemy forces as the war
begins. The enemy has stolen Zhonya's
Circle. A magical artifact that will make us win the game if we
can get recombine it with Doran's Sphere.
the artifact they are trying to steal
I had devised a plan for Jeff and his forces to stay in the back
side of the battle zone and protect
the sphere while Jacob and our men go to the front lines. We
snuck our way past enemy camps when
one of our men set off a trap. A we hear the yells and horns of
the enemy forces as hundreds of beasts
ran towards us. All big, fast with deadly precision. They
started to invade so I drew my weapon to rise upto the challenge. I
used my blade to sweep through them slaying them one by one
alongside Jacob and
our men, when their captain came. The brute mocked and
challenged me. I dont take it likely when
someone damages my pride.
In my rage and arrogance I chased him to his territory leaving
Jacob to take care of the invaders.
I then found myself outnumbered. The fight began and I slew all
but the juggernaut. He stood waiting
patiently in the back measuring my skills. He had a long, bulky
blade to match his figure. He stood
twenty feet tall, five feet wide, with muscles stronger than
stone. He was dressed in thick armor that my
sword couldn't easily penetrate. I took all of this into account
as I engaged the beast. I ran at him with
my sword drawn in an offensive position. I believed his sheer
weight and magnitude of character wouldleave him slow with powerful
penetrative strikes that I would be able to easily evade. I was
wrong.
As I made my first strike he parried. Launching my sword out of
my hand. I jumped back to
evade the foe, but was immediately rammed by a thick, solid
shoulder. I was throw against the wall,
breathless. I looked up for a moment to see a towering blade
swinging for my head. I had only a
moment to evade and reacted accordingly. I dodged the towering
blow and grabbed the hilt of the
monstrous blade tearing it away from its master. I then reengage
the foe, thrusting his massive blade
towards his chest. He evades and then just stands the smiling. I
take a moment to contemplate what
was happening, when I feel a sharp pain in my side. I had been
stabbed with a poison tipped blade.
Everything goes dark.
I awaken to the sound of dripping water and the humid smell of a
dungeon. My eyes adjust to
the dimly lit torch light as I survey my surroundings. I'm
surrounded by thick strong wooden bars. I can
no longer hear the sounds of the battle zone as it dawns on me.
I have been taken captive. I must
complete my conquest to capture the enemy flag and return home
safely. For I wish the people of my
tribe to have the food that the barbarians stole. I had lost all
hope. I had failed my faithful friends. Every

member of my team was outnumbered 100 to 1 and their leader was
nowhere to be found. When the
spark of hope arises.
The guards that were in front of my fell to the floor with a
yell. They were slain by my blade. I
arise to see Jacob with my sword in hand, gazing down at the men
he had just slain. I then ask, " how did
you fine me?" He replies, " Jeff and Evan took down the brute
that captured you and forced him to tellus where you were captive."
Jacob then took one of the keys from the fallen guard and unlocked
the
door. "Here's your sword" he said as he handed me my weapon.
We fought our way through the front doors to see Zhonya's
Circle. It was heavily guarded but
that didnt stop me. I drew my sword and sprinted for the Circle.
I evaded enemies as I came closer to
the ring. When he showed up. Their captain who had mocked and
captured me. I ran at him with all rage
and completely forgot about the ring. I picked up a rock and
threw it with all my might. I hit him square
in the head as he stumbled back. I then drive my sword though a
chink in his chest plate to end the
beast. I then turn around to see all of my men out numbered in a
circle.
My pride had gotten the best of me yet again. I join the ranks
of the defensive circle as Jacob
tells me his plan, " We will make an opening so you can run and
collect the Circle. Take it and combine it
with the Sphere to end the war." A tear runs down my cheek as I
realize I will be the only one who
makes it alive out of my squad. They initiate the plan and I run
for the holy artifact. Slaying any enemy
who stands in my way. I finally become in reach of the artifact
when their second captain jumps on top
of the platform the Circle's on with a sword in hand. He kicks
the circle off the platform and knocks my
sword out of my hand. He then thrusts his sword at me. I have no
time to react and close my eyes to
embrace what comes next.
I am suddenly thrown to the ground and hear the groan of their
captain. I open my eyes to see
Evan towering over me with their second captain kneeling on the
platform limp with a sword throughhis chest. His arm was still
holding the hilt of his sword when it dawned on me. Evan had thrown
me out
of the way to take the blow and kill their captain. He fell over
as I ran over to him. I removed the sword
from his chest as he handed me the Circle and said " take this
back to the others and win this battle." As
Evan passed away I took his sword and Circle in hand and ran for
head quarters.
It looked all clear when two small demons appear out of nowhere
tripping me. My sword and
the Circle flew out of my hand when their sharp grasp stung my
legs. I was on the boundary of the
territories and grabbed a metal post on our side. The demons
pulled with incredible strength as the post
creaked. My was holding firm, but the metal wasn't. I reached
for the circle and put it in my mouth. I laid
their my right arm grasping the rod and my left stabbing at
them. The rod started belching a creakingnoise. It gave way,
allowing the demons to do as they wish with me.
As all hope is lost I feel a hand. Jeff had grabbed my hand and
was pulling with all his might. He
was then joined by the many of our forces as I was used as a
human rope for tug a war. Some more
demons appeared and a fight broke at as the two lost their grip.
Jeff said " Get the Circle to the Sphere
and recombine them!" I started to say no when Jeff interrupted
and said "HURRY!!! DONT LET

EVERYBODYS LOSS BE IN VAIN! GO NOW!!!" I then ran as I fast as
humanly possible. I looked back to see
Jeff and his men's forces overcome by the small demons.
I sprinted all the way to the main base to reconnect the
artifacts. A holy glow emerged from the
Circle and Sphere as I recombined them. The game was over and we
had won. We rejoiced as we had
one the war and took part in games and had a feast. We then
mourned the many that gave their lives toovercome this evil.
