Little balls of light were layering into the navy blue sky like they do every night. Silhouettes could be seen from inside a large canvas tent from the flicker of a small candle...
"These are tough times right now...our armies are decreasing by the day - by both the famine and the horrible red hawks." Said the very anxious Blue Carp Leader, Cheif Blue Beak. "Sir?" Said the Blue Carp Administrator, "We could always ask people for help and advice..." The Blue Beak came over to the Administrator's poorly designed wood desk and slammed a small knife into the desk and screamed "LIKE WHO?!" The Administrator shrinked back in and feared and whispered ever so lightly "Maybe Bluebla-" "BLUEBLADE? HA! That old man is as dumb as a squirrel!" A young boy from the back of all the people in the tent screamed "SPEAK FOR YOURSELF! He's much more smarter than you'll EVER be!" Everyone gasped. Blue Beak did a little signal with his hands and the guards knew that meant to drag out the young boy. They threw him out the canvas door and one guard said "Keep quiet next time! Maybe you'll be let back into the meetings."
The boy fell face first into dirt. His name was Drew Dreamcatcher and he was 13 years old. When he was younger, kids picked on him a lot for being different. He had 1 lazy eye and his shoulder has been injured ever since he's been a baby so he walks funny. One day when he was 7, other kids pushed him to the ground and he couldn't get up. They were throwing big rocks and sticks at him A mysterious man saw this happening and couldn't help but to help the poor, innocent child. He went up to the bullies and said "How could you do this to such a young boy like yourselves. You should feel ashamed." He picked up the severely injured boy and took him to his home.
The man put the child onto a small woven mat and brought out little bottles of herbs and small essences that Drew had never seen before. The man saw that Drew had a lot of scratches which would heal but one large dent into his rib cage which he knew would need treatment. Drew watched intently as the man healed the gash in his rib cage. He first put on a oil that sort of stung but made him feel really warm inside. Then some herbs and some more oils. "Your injury should be healed in 4 days. I suggest you rest up" Drew couldn't believe what happened. 5 minutes ago he was dieing with pain...but now he's fine. He took a look around the man's house. It was a large rock in a small cavern with lots of different odds and ends that he's never layed eyes on before. He eagerly asked "Sir, what's your na-" "Blueblade," He said, "George Blueblade." "Well...thank you Blueblade for fixing me...I just don't understand how you did it..." "It takes years of practice to master the talent of medicine work, very hard to explain." "Well...what do you do? I never see you around the town." Drew asked "I used to be in the Blue Carp Army" Blueblade explained, "They kicked me out saying I was useless to them. Now I just fish for food and walk around in the forest and live here." "Useless? You could help them out big time by healing the soldiers!" "It was quite a long time ago when they told me I was useless...I wasn't as good as healing as I am today...they said they never wanted to see me in the army again."
We are now back to when Drew is 13 - 6 years after the injury Blueblade healed.
Drew felt so mad that the Blue Beak thinks Blueblade is just a helpless old man. He sat at the end of the beach and looked at the ocean. He could see the glow of the Red Hawk's fire base on the other side of the ocean. He knew soon they'd attack - he could feel it. Drew knew he could only turn to one person at a time like this - Blueblade.
He swam through the cavern and climbed up onto the stone Blueblade called home. He could see Blueblade was meditating on the mat where Drew was once dieing in pain. "Blueblade?" At once the old man opened his eyes. "Oh, hello, Drew. What do you need?" "I want to talk about the future...With you know...the Red Hawks...soon they will attack and try to take our land...It seems like they might succeed since our warrior count is very low..." "Yes, yes." Blueblade said "Soon they will attack...There's a very small chance we will defeat them...But there's one thing we can do to overpower them..." "What? Tell me, I'll do anything." Blueblade turned around and brought out a little box. "Water, Air, Fire," Blueblade said "The triangle of elements. I've managed to put in this box the Water of Life and the Air of Solitude. There is only one thing left before the box is complete - The Fire of Shadows." Drew couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Where do I find this Fire of Shadows and what will it do for me when I get all 3 elements?" Blueblade explained "The only way to find this type of fire is in the Volcano of Death which is in Fire Hawk territory. When you have all 3 elements in the box, shake the box up and down on your territory...you and your territory will be victorious." "Wow..." Drew said "Can we go get the fire?" Blueblade didn't say anything for awhile. He kept his eyes closed for a lnog time and finally said "I will take you to the land of the Red Hawks, but you will have to go on the adventure without me. I'm too old to be going into the Volcano of Death. I will row you there on my boat tonight."
Drew and Blueblade rowed to the side of the Island so no one would see them. Drew put the box of elements into his side pocket. "I'll wait here while you go get the Fire, Drew. Please...be careful" And then Drew went off into Red Hawk territory. Drew was hiding behind bushes and could hear small talk between the guards. without looking, he accidentally stepped on a rock and let out a cry and fell to the ground. The guards immediately heard and took Drew's arms and were going to go throw him into the volcano. When they were taking drew up the path to the volcano The guards heard a whistle and someone behind them say "Hello, boys!" Drew knew it was Blueblade. The guards ran back and completely forgot about Drew. They went down to try to get Blueblade but when they took a step toward them he blasted out water from his hands toward them! They fell onto hard rock but immediately sprang up and took knives out of their pockets. Blueblade turned around and yelled to Drew "RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!" Drew jumped into the water and starting swimming back to the Blue Carp Base. He turned around and saw Blueblade turn back around to the Fire Soldiers. The one threw the knife and it stabbed Blueblade into the chest. He stumbled back a little and fell back into the water. Blueblade...was dead. Drew screamed in horror "NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Drew swam back to his base and layed facedown on the shoreline and started crying. His only friend was dead.
Drew then remembered how Blueblade shot water out of his hands. He's read a lot of history and he knew that could only mean one thing - Blueblade was part fish. A few minutes later huge balls of fire were flying into the sky and making big splashes into the ocean, then making steam. All the Blue Carp townspeople came out to see what the commotion was. When they saw what has happened they knew it could only mean one thing - the war for territory starts tomorrow.
The Red Hawks were getting ready for the battle, practicing their shooting, sharpening their knives, they were ready for all out war. The Blue Carps did the same. Both tribes put their face paint on. Chief Red Feather, the leader of the Red Hawks called his tribe together. "We are fighting to gain our land once and for all from those pesky Blue Carps!" "Any questions before we fight?" He asked. "Yes!" A tribe member yelled. "Who will fight whom?" Chief Red Feather said to the red hawk member, "All of you attack the Blue Carp soldiers. I will get the chief. NOW, MOVE OUT!" "YES SIR!" They all said. Red Feather said quietly to himself, "The Blue Carp will have nothing against our forces, this will be an easy task."
While back at the Blue Carps camp, they were practicing their tactics of winning the war. "Yes! You will be over to the right! We will make a straight line heading right towards them!" Chief Blue Beak said. At that moment Blue Beak knew this would be the perfect plan to succeed. "Sir? What if the Red Hawks figure out a way to get passed our line?" A soldier said. "NONSENSE! WITH THIS PLAN ALL WE CAN DO IS WIN! There is no way to stop us!"
With both teams having their plans of the attack, they all deserved a good nights rest. Both tribes had a good sleep, being ready for the battling day ahead.
With light peering over the mountains, both tribes were awaken. Horns sounded off, the signal of war about to happen. Both tribes met in the middle of the forest. "Bring it on! I've been waiting for this day. Haha!" Red Feather said. "The day you lose?" Blue Beak said with a smirk on his face. All of the Blue Carps laughed. "THAT'S IT BLUE BUTT! ITS TIME TO FIGHT!" Red Feather said. Red feather yelled to his troops "CHARGE!" Blue Beak yelled "FORMATION-" they all got into their line, then he shouted, "ONWARD!"
Fire, sticks with arrowheads, snowballs, arrows. All of these were flying all around. by the looks of it it seemed that the Red Hawks tactics were winning. The worst that could happen, happened. The Red Hawks found a way to go around the line! Both chiefs were fighting and taunting each other while doing it. "IS THIS ALL YOU'VE GOT?" Red Feather said. "Why? you want to learn my moves? Hah." "No never! Because look at your army." He showed Blue Beak. He saw half of his men, dead on the ground, and looked far in the distance to see his village being attacked. "No...This can't be!" "Looks like your about to lose your land, bucko." Red Feather said. Blue Beak sighed, "A soldier never gives up - even if it means death..."
Drew knew while the two tribes were fighting no Red Hawk soldier would be at the volcano protecting it. Now was his chance. He went to the side of the island with Blueblade's old canoe and box of elements and rowed to the Red Hawk base. He faced the volcano and realized he had no time to spare. There had to be a thousand steps on the path to get to the top of the volcano. He ran the whole way up without stopping for a breath. Drew had a feeling the box of elements would be indestructible so when he got to the tip top of the volcano he put the box partially into the lava and got a portion of the hot Fire of Shadows. He ran back down the volcano, skipping a few steps, and rowed back to Blue Carp Territory
When he got to the battlefield, he saw many dead bodies of Blue Carp soldiers on the ground. There were still some Blue Carp soldiers fighting, but not near as many as the Red Hawk soldiers. He knew what he had to do. He shook the box of the 3 elements 10 times up and down. He stood there, not moving a muscle, but nothing happened. He fell to the ground with tears in his eyes. Suddenly, the ground started rumbling. He stood up and saw an unusual large wave coming toward the island. This wasn't any ordinary wave, He looked closer and couldn't believe what he saw. Coming out of the water was a large line of water spirits. These spirits were all the Blue Carp soldiers who have once died. The army line was lead by the one and only George Blueblade. Immediately all the soldiers on the battle field were healed and ready to fight again.
Together, the soldiers and water spirit soldiers fought off every Red Hawk soldier. During the last few minutes of the fight, Blue Beak got the Red Feather Trapped onto the side of a cliff. "Well, well, well...Look who we have here? The 'most powerful' soldier ever, Red Feather." Blue beak said in a sarcastic tone. "Look I think we can work something out Blue Beak...heh..." "Oh it's too late for that," Blue Beak answered, "It's been too late for that for a looong time." In a blink of an eye, Blue Beak shoved Red Feather off the cliff. Below the cliff, there was a giant whale wandering for food. When he saw Red Feather fall, he got an evil look on his face and gulped Red Feather down in one bite.
The Red Hawk tribe was completely gone, 100%. Celebration could be heard miles away from other tribes. All of a sudden there was a gasp from everyone. Blue Beak turned around and saw the water spirit of Blue Blade. "George...I'm sorry..." Blue Beak said "I should of never retired you from the army, you were a great person to have around." There was a long silence. "Apology accepted!" Blue blade said. Immediately all the Blue Carp water spirits turned back into their regular, penguin selves, and everyone celebrated! Blueblade got onto a large rock and said "Excuse me everyone, I have an announcement!" The crowd quieted down. "The water spirits and I only came because we were summoned by one certain person. Without this person, The Blue Carp tribe would be dead right now. The one and only Drew Dreamcatcher got the last element, which was the Fire of Shadows!" Everyone cheered and clapped for Drew and they celebrated for days.
The Blue Carps were victorious. :)
