Princess Ruby: The Brave Princess

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess stuck in a tall tower, her name was Ruby. She was captured far, far away from her parents. When she was 10, an EVIL witch took her far, far away. The guards took her down but the evil witch cast a spell on her where she will be taken by the Witches Tower. The witch was gone and so was the princess, the king & queen cried everyday and hoped for her lost daughter to be found by a BRAVE knight. Ruby was stuck in the Witches Tower for 8 years. But good thing Ruby learns how to make food every year by using magic from the Witches Spell Book… “ *sign* it’s so boring, why can’t I just get out by myself” said Ruby. “I mean I have a spell book but it doesn’t have a spell to get out!!”. “ *sign* oh why, oh why does this happen to ME. Why can’t I just be a knight, not just a hopeless PRINCESS. Why don’t I just escape by myself, I don’t need a KNIGHT to rescue me at ALL” Ruby said to herself. Ruby was too angry to be in this tall tower and had to wait for a knight to rescue her. Ruby thought for a while, she has been stuck in this tower for 8 years. She was ready to do this all by herself, she can’t wait in the tower for another year!! Ruby ripped her dress short, ripped her sleeves and went on serious mode. Ruby did her game plan to get out of this tall tower, she took a look at everything in the room. Then she looked at the bed sheet, she took the bed sheet. Ripped it line by line, tied it together until it looked like a ROPE. Ruby took a look at her robe that she made, then smiled. She tied the end to the bed and threw the robe outside of the tower. Ruby looked at her robe outside , it was long enough. Then without any hesitation, she climbed down. Ruby was sure that it was high but she didn’t look down until she felt the ground. After climbing, she felt the ground so she opened her eyes. “A-am o-o-outside, am outside, AM OUTSIDE” she said excitedly. She jumped, rolled and even spined. Ruby was finally outside touching the ground after 8 YEARS. But she still had to focus on finding her parents.

 

While wandering around the forest, Ruby tried to find some berries because she was a little hungry after wandering. Ruby then spotted some purple berries, she ran to it and started to pick some. When she had enough, she started to eat it but then someone pushed her. Ruby took a look at who pushed her. When she took a look, a girl in a black hood hissed at her. “W-who are you?” Ruby said holding a stick, “Woah, look I just saved your life!!” said the girl. “What do you mean saved my LIFE?!” Ruby said. Then the girl picked one purple berry, “These berries are poison, one bite then your DEAD” said the girl. Ruby had apologised to the girl, “umm, my name is Ruby yours?” she said. “Cat is my name,” said the girl. “Cat, it’s so nice to meet you. Also, sorry again for scaring you”, “Ha no need to say sorry, you barely scare ME”. Cat had told Ruby that she was an orphanage child, her parents passed away, so Cat had to go to Foster Care. But she ran away from Foster Care, so now she lives in the woods. Ruby had told her everything that had happened to her, Cat was shocked to hear all that. “REALLY, you are a lost PRINCESS. And you want to go back with your parents!!” Cat said. “Yeah, I don’t need a knight to save ME. I do things all by myself and I want a new style too, I don’t like wearing the witch’s old clothes” Ruby said to Cat. Cat took Ruby to her new home. Cat had lived in a tree this whole time but her home was decorated. 

 

Cat looked for some stylish clothes in a pile of clothes. Ruby looked at Cat for a while until she found some clothes that were her style. Cat looked, looked and looked. Then she pulled out a green hood, she gave it to Ruby and told her that it used to be her mum until she passed away. Ruby felt bad about wearing it, but Cat insisted. So she wore it, it looked fire on her. After picking some clothes, Ruby had to continue on her mission. Cat wanted to help her find her parents, Ruby agreed Cat to help her. Soon after, Ruby had made a NEW friend after 8 years. When they were walking, Cat had a map of where her kingdom is. They had to take a boat because it was the fastest way to go. Waking will take ages, so they follow the path to the boat.

 

When they were here at their destination, an old man walked up to them and said “Where are you two girls going” , said the old man. “Uhhh, we’re going to C-Chlorophyta Kingdom,” said Ruby. “Chlorophyta Kingdom, ALL ABOARD” said the old man. The girls got on the boat and went off, the old man asked what their names were. “Cat and Ruby, oh what beautiful names you girls got. My name is Old Lincoln, but you can call me Captain Lincoln” he said. When they were chatting, the girls were here at Chlorophyta Kingdom. Ruby was amazed to see Chlorophyta Kingdom and her parents but before she stepped out of the boat. She got pulled out, Cat laughed at her when she was on the ground. Ruby was confused about what just happened. “C-Cat, why did you do that?” Ruby said to Cat, “WHY I DID THAT, YOU KILLED MY MOTHER. I TRICKED YOU, I LIED ABOUT EVERYTHING. WHEN I WAS LITTLE, MY MOTHER WAS KILLED IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN THE GUARDS LEFT, I RAN TO MY MOTHER. SHE SAID HER FINAL WORDS, “GET REVENGE” SO I HAVE WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR YOU TO GET OUT OF THAT TALL TOWER. BECAUSE I KNEW YOU CAN GET OUT OF THAT TOWER” Cat said. Ruby was stunt to hear ALL that. Cat had tricked Ruby this whole entire time, Ruby cried for a bit but she had to fight Cat. Cat turn into the biggest monster of all time. 

 

The guards were too weak to fight Cat, Ruby felt betrayed by Cat. But Ruby grabbed a sword from 3 guards and threw it at Cat. Cat roared at the guards & Ruby. The guards were blown away from the big roar but Ruby didn’t. She fought until the end. The king had come to fight for his kingdom but he saw Ruby fighting for HER kingdom. “RUBY HERE” said the king when he threw his sword to Ruby. Ruby got the king’s sword, so she ran as fast as she could then made a big jump. Ruby had cut Cat’s head with the king’s sword and said “SHE IS GONE”. Everyone clapped for her, the king ran to his long lost daughter. Then gave her the biggest hug in the world. “You’re finally HOME Ruby” said the King. Ruby’s dad cried a lot when they made it to their castle. Ruby ran to her mum when she was walking in the hall. Ruby’s mum cried so much and so did Ruby. Ruby had become the ladder of  the royal guards, after defeating Cat. And changed the history of women’s.

Seaside Story Starters – Pirates And Sea Monsters

One sunny day, I went to the beach for FUN. But when I went to the beach, I trip over something, I look at what I trip over and it looked like a chest. I dug to find out what was inside of the chest, when I was done digging I opened it. Inside was full of jewelry and GOLD. I was full of surprise that it was treasure, so I took some but when I was taking some jewelry and gold. A boat crashed into the beach, when I took a look it was a pirate ship. The ship was a big, brown boat full of weapons. 5 People came out of the ship and said “ what you got there, TREASURE I SEE” they said. Then the captain came, “I see TREASURE. GET THE TREASURE” he said. Before I got to say anything, the people came running to the treasure and at ME. They tied me on their ship, took the treasure and said “Who may you be” the captain said. “I am L-Leata” I said terrified. “ Well I am Peter, the captain of this fine ship. That one is Nicky, the look out. Max the map reader, William the keeper who puts our treasure under our ship. And Tom the SHIP CLEANER, he is the one who cleans our ship” he said. While I was tied in the ship, I looked at them closely. These pirate boys look young, like teenagers. “Oi you guys look very young, are you guys 19 or 20” I said, the pirate boys looked at me very angry. “Oh come on, you guys can’t trick me. I am too smart to know your age”, “Okay, okay we are young but we are still PIRATES” Peter said. The boys nodded but then Nicky said “And our brother” he said. “YOU IDIOT, YOU JUST REVEAL OUR IDENTITY. THAT WE ARE BROTHERS” Peter said angrily.

 

Then Max said “And we are trying to save our home from the Great Sea Monsters” , “The Great Sea Monsters? Tell me more about these Great Sea Monsters” I said. “There are 3 Great Sea Monsters, and their names are “Sun, Moon and Lunar”. Sun is Bright Day, Moon is Dark Night and Lunar is Stars. They are from the sky of the water, for example: the water reflects the sky. They are very big and powerful, so you better be careful”. I did not know that sea monsters exist, but mostly I am terrified of them. Also, Peter was SUPER angry at his brothers telling me all that. They needed help, so I told them I wanted to help them save their home. Peter laughed at me, but I was serious. I want to take a look at these Great Sea Monsters. After Peter stopped laughing, he finally agreed. But he said I need to be like a PIRATE if he wants my help. So he taught me how to be like a pirate before we got there. “Hey Peter, I forgot to tell you this but why do you need the treasure that I found” I said to Peter. “That’s because it’s a gift for my people. I found a map from the shop, so I followed the map that leads to the big treasure” he said. He told me about his home and everything. His home was called “Green Sea” and his parents are pirates too. No wonder Peter and his brothers are pirates and got a big ship. 

After talking and chatting, we were here at Green Sea. I didn’t see the monster anywhere but then Peter tapped me and pointed at the back. I saw the Sun, Moon and Lunar at the back of the ship. Moon’s tail hit our ship, me and the boys ran as fast to get out of the ship. The Great Sea Monsters roar at us, then FLY up. “I THOUGHT YOU SAID IT WAS A SEA MONSTER MAX”, “YEAH IT IS A SEA MONSTER. A SEA DRAGON BUT WE LIKE TO CALL IT SEA MONSTER” Max said. They flew really high and went down all the way towards us. Sun blows fire at us, but Sun misses. Moon tried to blow ice at us but missed too!! These Sea Monsters need to learn how to shoot fire and ice at us. The boys and I ran to a cave that was close to Green Sea. The Sea Monsters couldn’t fit in the cave, so they blew fire, ice and wind at the cave. “The cave is about to collapse!!” Peter said. “But the Great Sea Monsters are outside, Peter” William said to Peter. “What choice do we have?!” Peter said. We ran out of the cave before it collapsed, the Great Sea Monster looked straight at us. “Uhhh, good evening Sun and Moon and Lunar. Don’t you look GREAT today” I said, the boys look at me with a confused face. “So uhh you guys are from the sky of the water. Well isn’t that nice, oh are you guys hungry. Here have some bread” I said to the Great Sea Monsters. They took one bite each for them, the Sea Monsters looked pleased. The boys were still confused about what is happening. When they looked at us they started to TALK, “Thank You, for this small piece of bread” said Lunar. “Wait, wait you guys can talk this WHOLE TIME” Willam said. “Yes, we can talk this WHOLE TIME. We didn’t mean to wreck your home. We were hungry for food” Sun said. “Then why didn’t you just ask!!” William said. “You guys kept on screaming and shooting at us. That you guys wouldn’t listen” Moon said. “But at least SHE gets to give us FOOD” Lunar said. The boys apologize to the Great Sea Monsters, “Leata, how did you know that the Sea Monsters wanted food” Peter said. “Well, Max told me he took some pictures of the Great Sea Monster before you guys got on the ship. He gave me the pictures, I look at the pictures REALLY CAREFUL. And when I took a good look at the pictures, the Great Sea Monsters looked sad” I said to Peter. “If the Great Sea Monster was good, then WHERE IS MY PEOPLE” Peter said. The Great Sea Monsters heard what he said, and they flew to the location of all the people. They came back with the people, the boys saw their parents when the Great Sea Monsters let go of all the people. Me and the boys told everyone about the Great Sea Monsters, the people apologized to the Great Sea Monsters and offered some food to the Great Sea Monsters. The boys got me back from the beach. The boys would visit me at the beach anytime when it’s 3:00 o’clock.
