Once upon a time, in a land far far away…. Lived a King and Queen and their 3 sons. The sons where all different from one another and they all had unique abilities that were granted to them at birth by their Godmother. The First son, Aros, was a brute. Towering over people and beating people to get what he wants. The second, Avalon, was tremendously handsome. His good looks and charm got people to cower towards him. The third son though, Avian, had no physical attributes whatsoever. He was given, the gift of the mind. The gift of the mind allowed Avian to peak into the future and to be able to determine right from wrong, unlike his older brothers.

One day, when the King and Queen were sick, the boys set off on a journey to the far away land of Wizards, Barthul. Hopefully to find the medicine that would save their parents. This is where our story begins and where it ends for one innocent animal.

“There’s one Aros!” yelled Avalon. “I see it brother, I see it.” he replied. As his two older brothers swayed the carriage left and right to try and hit the animal, Avian couldn’t help but wonder if they would make it in time to save their parents. “ Mom and dad are sick you idiots! We don’t have time to mess around with animals!” As he was talking he feels a “thump” “thump”, and mutters to himself, “To late..”  

“Brother did you say something?” said Avalon.

“It doesn’t matter Avalon, just make sure you read the map right.” Avian replied.

What the brothers don't realize is that the map that was given to them is actually a map to Rodorm. the darkest and scariest place in the kingdom….

“This doesn’t look like the right place.” said Avian. “Are you sure you read the map correctly brother?” he said as he smirked.

“I read it perfectly!” said Avalon. “This has to be the right place! Look there is a building just along the way. We can stop and ask them if they know where we are.”

As the brothers wandered toward the mysterious building, and just as they were about to be there, Avian had a vision that shocked him!

“Brother wait!” cried Avian. But it was too late. As Avalon stepped forward, an arrow flew through the sky, embedding itself into the neck of the now stunned Avalon. With utter shock, the two other brothers scrambled around to pick up Avalon and carry him back to the carriage.

“We have to fight back.” said Aros.

“It isn’t a good idea.” replied Avion.

“If you are too much of a girl, then I shall venture into the abyss alone.” This was the last sentence Avian heard from his elder brother.

2 days passed before Avian put a plan together. “I shall…” he was cut off by a very familar voice.

“You shall what nephew?”

Avian’s voice was gone. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. His uncle Barnibus, walking out of the building, the darkness flowing behind him as if it was his cape.

“You. You gave us the map, you lead us here. Why?” He asked.

“Simple, I want to be king. How do you think your parents got sick? It’s amazing what a little bit of poison can do when mixed with a glass of wine.”  Said Barnibus.

“He was your brother Uncle. He loved you!” screamed Avian.

“But I never, loved him.” his uncle said in almost a whisper.

After he spoke those words, Uncle Barnibus lunged towards Avian, sword extended. Aimed right for his gut.

What his Uncle didn’t know is that, Avian knew what would happen. He knew all this would happen. He visioned this along with Avalon dieing. Along with Aros running into the building. And so as his Uncle was lunging, Avian was ready. He dodged the strike and countered with his own. Thrusting an arrow, deep into his uncles throat.

“Revenge. For Avalon.” he said as he yanked the arrow out and watched as his Uncle, the Uncle that helped raise him, the uncle he loved. bleed out in front of him.

Avian got into the carriage and rode off not knowing where to go, but hoping that it was in the right direction.

“I wonder if…”

TO BE CONTINUED. 

Football season is upon us! I am so excited. Football has always and will always be my favorite sport. No doubt about that. I play quarterback and Wide Receiver and I also play some defense whenever I need too. I have played since 3rd grade and I have loved it ever since.

Football is basically a year round sport for me.  There is no “offseason” I am always working and striving to get better. It is my dream to make it somewhere in life with football. And if that doesn’t work out then my plan is to coach football somewhere. It would also be outstanding if my kids liked to play football as well.

I have played quarterback since 3rd grade and i have loved it since day one. I am what you consider a “dual-threat” quarterback. Meaning I can run equally as good as my throwing ability. My stats from Jv last year in 5 games included me running for over 300 yards and throwing for over 400 and scoring a couple touchdowns. This season should be a good one for us. Springball is going great and we have been having so much fun while also getting in a lot of reps. The younger kids have brought a lot of talent to the team and our grade has some pretty good skill positions and the seniors are loaded with talent everywhere.

My favorite type of plays are read options and short-quick passing routes.  I like having the ability to make a decision and go with it and I also like to get the ball out of my hands quickly. I’ve never really had a great line corp so I have always had to get rid of the ball quickly!  I do also like to throw the long ball, but only when I need to. A read option is where the quarterback and the running back have a mesh point and the ball goes into the running backs pocket and the quarterback gets his eye’s on the “read” and depending on what the “read” does, the quarterback either: A. hands the ball off. B: keeps the ball and runs. C: keeps the ball and throws a pass.

If you can’t tell, football is my life. I strive to be great in everything I do with football. And I get real hard on myself and well that is life isn’t it?

My family is a big part of my life. I know that is normal but there are some who despise their family and want nothing to do with them but that’s not how it is in my household. They support me in everything I do and love me no more or less whether I succeed or fail. My sisters are a big part of my heart. As a little kid I always wanted a sister and when I Ravin, I was the happiest kid in the world. I knew I would always protect her and I wouldn’t let anything happen to her as long as I could prevent it. And with my other sister, Arianna, she’s the funnies 4 year old I’ve ever met. I’m just sad that I wont be there for them when I’m off to college in a couple of years.

My mother is probably the biggest supporter in my life. She provides me with everything I need to succeed and everything that I want. From day one, she did everything for me. I can’t really think of how to thank her for everything she has done for me, except going out there and making a name for myself and doing what I know she would want me to do and becoming the man she wants me to become.

My father has been there for me every step of my journey. He is a big reason for me being the way I am today. From creating me, to teaching me everything I know right now, my father has been a big factor in my life. He isn’t just my father, but he is my best friend as well.

This is my family and they are my biggest supporters. Words cant express my love for them. They mean everything to me and I can’t thank them enough.

Someone that really inspires me is Tim Tebow. He is my favorite football player that has ever played and he is also a genuinely nice guy. Watching Tebow play football at the university of Florida is what made me want to become a dual-threat Quarterback. One who can run and pass and do both efficiently.

Tebow spent 4 years at the University of Florida and played football the whole time he was there. He didn’t really play much his freshman year, but his sophomore year was another story. He broke countless records and became the youngest player to ever win the Heisman trophy. The Heisman is the trophy which is presented to the most outstanding college football player for his performance on the field. After his college years were done, Tim entered the NFL draft. He wound up going as the 25 pick in the draft to the Denver Broncos. Tim spent some time with Broncos leading them to the second round of the playoffs with an overtime win against former superbowl winners, the Pittsburg Steelers. He also played for the New York Jets and is now doing sports commentary and other things to do with sports.

Tim’s football career is only one thing that inspired me. The other is his off the field activities. Tim has his own charity foundation and goes on numerous Missionary trips to spread the word of god to those who might not know about it. The Tim Tebow Foundation was created in 2010 to show God’s love to children around the world. He visits lots of hospitals and spends countless hours playing and spending time with the kids that are in those hospitals.

Tebow is just a great guy. He is the type of person everyone should strive to be like when the get older.  

I am going to do a review for you guys. My review is over a game called NBA 2K14. It came out October 1, 2013, and has been put into many households. Including mine! This game takes a new twist on the old “my Player” and it is now called “my Career”. The old game modes such as “all star weekend” are not incorporated in this one. This is a controversial topic because some feel that if the old game modes were in this one than the game would be better. But like any controversial topic some people feel the game is better without them. My personal opinion is that the game would have been better with the old game modes included.

This new my career game mode is way better than the my player game mode in my opinion. You can gain fans by performing good in the games you play in and boost your popularity by spending the skill points that you also earn from doing good in the games you play.

I don’t really spend a lot of time playing the game mode “Association”. Association is a game mode where you become the general manager of a team and you have total control over them. It can be kinda fun but also kinda boring. In my opinion it’s probably the dumbest game mode on the game.

There is also a game mode called “The Blacktop” where you can choose to do a 1v1, 2v2, 3v3, 4v4 and finally a full game with a 5v5. I don’t spend a lot of time playing this game mode but when i do. It’s pretty fun.

Overall, I think this game is a great game. With the new game modes and some old game modes included in this game. It’s pretty much the best basketball game thats came out for the 360 in the last couple years. I would give this game a 9.5/10 with the best game mode being the “My Career” mode.

With nothing between the salty sea between us, the whole crew knew it was do or die time. The time had come for the Jackdaw to face off with the Queen Elizabeth, to see who was the king of the West Indies Sea. With Captain Kenway at the Jackdaw’s helm, and Black Beard at the helm of The Queen Elizabeth, it was definitely going to be a battle for the century.  

This all started because of an accidental kidnapping by Black Beards men. Captain Kenway was in the middle of a mission when all of a sudden he was grabbed and bagged over the head. Once on the Queen Elizabeth Black Beard instantly knew that, that was not the intended target. “If it’s not him then who could it be?” asked one of the sailors. As the bag was lifted off of Kenway’s head, he instantly broke out of the bounds that they had put him in and killed two sailors with his duel wield swords and a third with his flintlock pistol. In an outrage Kenway yelled, “What are you playing at Teach? I was about to assassinate the Governor!” Appalled by the fact that his crew had kidnapped Captain Kenway, he was speechless. “I cannot explain how sorry I am Kenway, but that does not take away the fact that you killed three of my men. On MY ship nonetheless!” At this point, Black Beard was fuming.

“Need I remind you that your men are the ones that kidnapped me! I had no clue who you were or what you wanted.” replied Kenway.

The crew was in a trance while they watched this dispute go on. They thought it would never end until Kenway took a dive over the side of the ship. But not before screaming, “:You’ll regret this Teech!”  Kenway already had a plan going through his head. Soon, the infamous Edward Teech would meet his match, and that day, shall be a glorious one.

Three weeks later, as the Queen Elizabeth is sailing through the West Indies, it sees a ship in the distance. Not giving it a second glance, the Queen Elizabeth sailed right on by the ship. The ship, which looked harmless, was the farthest thing from harmless. On the surface it looked like a regular ship but below deck, it was loaded with 30 lbs of TNT and gunpowder. And after one well placed gun shot, it would soon be up in flames, and so would parts of the Queen Elizabeth.

Kenway stood at the helm of his ship, watching his trap unfold. It was working beautifully, way more than he had hoped .As he threw his hand down, which meant fire, he couldn’t help but think that this was his day. Meanwhile, the boat had been shot and had blown sky high! It had taken out the cannons on the left side of Black Beards ship, but Teech wasn’t going down without a fight.

Edwarded had his crew ready for a attack for weeks now. The mortars were loaded and the chain shots were ready and it was about to be a dogfight.

Cannon blasts and screams rang through the air as ship parts and people were torn away by the battle. With no definite edge to the battle, except for Kenways surprise attack, it seemed like this battle would go on for ages.

The Ships torn to pieces, the crew all but nonexistent, it was down to the two captains. They both took a running start, Black Beard took a leap, while Kenway slid on a knee, one sword cutting air, one sword cutting flesh. They both stood there backs to each other, wind whistling through their hair, waiting for one to fall. And after what seemed like hours, but was only seconds, Black Beard fell to one knee, grasping his chest, he turned to Kenway and did something no one saw coming. Black Beard turned and smiled at Kenway, before he slipped into the numb abyss of death.

With 4 members of his crew left, Kenway took his ship and sailed for Havana, not as Captain Kenway, but Captain Kenway King of the Ocean.
