Conner and the Spider
Conner was a normal dude in a normal house built into a hill
in the country… until one day when his life was changed… for ever!
It was a dark and doomy day when the beast descended from his
mountain cave (before the portal started up) and came down in to the valley.
Conner was out walking when the beast went into his house,
trashed it and stole his father’s legendary diamond sword. When Conner got home
he noticed instantly that the sword was gone. He ran outside and saw footprints
in the mud that the now beginning rain had made leading up to a mountain in the
far distance.
The sword
was legendary because Conner’s father had killed the only giant acid shooting
spider in the world with that sword. Before he –Conner’s father had died he had
taught Conner how to track the spider if another spider ever came along so
Conner knew instantly that that’s what the tracks were from.
“It must be
after that sword which with my father killed the first spider” Conner said to
himself. Then he rushed into his house only to grab some food, some spare
clothes and a backpack to carry the stuff in. then he rushed out and started the
long walk tracking the spider. Three days later the tracks of the spider went
into a cave and disappeared into a blue haze. It was as hypnotic as a python’s
eye. Conner tried to follow but the blue haze was a portal that had started
when the spider came back to his cave and he was teleported to the other side
of the mountain.
He was
walking back up the mountain when he fell into a hole in the mountain and when
he got back up a god appeared and the god said to him “that hole that you fell
into then, is a secret way into the spiders cave. So secret in fact that even
the spider doesn’t know about it –not that he’d want to, he’s too big to fit
into it.” Then he gave Conner a magic axe that he could use to shut down the
portal at the end of the fight.
Conner
sneaked into the hole –he was going to take no chances even if the spider
didn’t know he was there. Finally he came across some metal bars. He swung his
axe and the metal bars splintered and broke. He ran out at the spider and
before the spider knew what was happening Conner had cut off one of its legs!
But the spider had a surprise for him too and shot acid at him the shot missed but
hit the axe instead and it was blown into smithereens. Conner looked wildly
around for a way to escape and his eyes fell on his father’s magic sword ran
over dodging in-between the spider’s legs and picked it up. The spider shot
acid at it but it could not be destroyed. He ran at the spider and cut off its
head. Then he destroyed the portal and went home. He hadn’t become famous for
killing the beast like his father had but he had rid the world of a fearsome
dangerous beast. He had completed his quest.
