Fire And Ice

For about 5 days, we have been writing a story based on a single picture. (Two if you count the picture that we had to draw). On the first day, we looked at the picture and brainstormed ideas about it. after that we made our own pictures based on what we think would happen next. on day 2, we made our hook and the first paragraph. on the third day, we carried on with my story. On the last day, we had to finish and publish our story.

A large, black, silhouette of a gigantic winged creature sat crouched near a small homey house. As it came nearer, the winged creature started to melt and then reconstruct into a different shape. In the dim light of the house, you could see that the  creature was not winged anymore and instead, it was seaweed green, and it had 2 rows of teeth sharp as blades, had pink pustules on it’s feet and worst of all was it’s fingernails, they were rotten and yellow, as if 100 different types of nail fungi was living on it.

In the middle of the small house, sat a small, white kitten. The beast turned towards the kitten and lifted it’s foot as if to stand on top of the kitten. But, as it was about to stand onto the cat, something stopped him, it was like his body had a mind of it’s own. Before the monster had time to react, the kitten too melted and reformed into something else. The new shape of the kitten was like a large snowball (Snow-cat) , round about a foot tall. It had ice crystals on it’s head and small white feet. It also had a long, slender tail.

The beast was pushed back by a gust of cold wind. ‘This is what I am looking for’ it thought. After a sudden flurry of flames, they were whisked to a cliff. The beast had transformed back into a giant dragon. The colour of it was magma red. Then, the fierce battle started. There were giant blizzards and bright red pillars of flame occasionally blasted from near the dragon.

“Who are you!?” yelled the kitten / walking-snowball angrily. “I is Grinder-Iron” shouted an equally angry goblin / dragon with really bad grammar. The barbarous battle raged on. There were blurs of white and giant ice crystals appearing out of no-where and embedding themselves into the ground and whirlwinds of flames being thrown crazily in every direction.

The battle started to slow down. The pair were starting to lose their energy. And then collapsed onto each other. Then suddenly, the pair began to laugh. After they had regained their energy, the dragon make a small fire and the Ice-Cat found some wood and also some marshmallows that some campers had accidentally left behind.

After some roasting of marshmallows, the dragon and the Ice-Cat made a small house out of wood. And they lived happily ever after.
