The Story of a Dragon Slayer Boy

Hello guys, i want to share the first part of my narrative story . Hope you guys enjoy reading my story.~

The Story of a Dragon Slayer Boy

          Once upon a time, in a nation called Legendia. A young and energic boy named Xin lived together with a priest called Teramai. He loved helping and caring others but sadly he didn’t  have many friends. The one who cared about him was Teramai himself.

            Xin lived in a town on south part of legendia called Fairy Town, many people who live there were merchants and soldiers. One day in the afternoon, when Xin traveled around to find wood in the shadow forest which located near Fairy Town, He found himself isolated by a group of barbarian who tried to steal his money. He didn’t bring any weapon to defend himself, but suddenly.., An arrow came out of nowhere and hit one of the barbarian and it was an arrow of an archranger named Lire, who knew around the village as a sharpshooter. In a blink of an eye, all of the barbarian escaped and Xin could survive their attack. Trying to be polite and thankful, Xin expressed his appreciation to Lire, but she only responded it with a cold smile.

            The next day, Fairy Town Mayor, Harold told the whole villagers that Fairy Town will be attacked by a heresy and misleading group called The Dragon Followers. The whole town panicked and tried to save their own life by migrating to the north town called Mana Ridge. They believed people in Mana Ridge would be able to help them, because most of them are priests and magicians.

            Xin, with his own bravery. Stood on his own feet , defending the whole town and said : “ Don’t panic , I got this!”, but nobody noticed him as the whole town keep running away from Fairy town. Before his parents died, Xin’s father , Gerraint trained him to be a swordmaster , but his father always said : “ Use your weapon wisely and be ready in all times”. Xin recalled this and what Mayor Harold told was true, the dragon followers arrived as soon as the night fell.

            Xin wasn’t alone, Lire who’s an elf came from the shadow forest and helped him again, but this time it was more difficult as they faced not only a group of dragon follower, but the dragon itself !.  They fought but unfortunately both of them reached their limit and they weren’t able to defeat the invaders.

            On their retreat, a paladin and a magician from Mana Ridge came to them and introduced themselves as the reinforcement from the north. The Paladin name was Jake, and the magician name was Angelica, they offered Xin and Lire to go back  to Fairy Town, but it was too late because Fairy Town had been demolished by the dragon followers and they had no choice but to escape.

           

The dragon who had been summoned by the dragon followers didn’t let them go easily, It flew around and found the fourth adventurers on Foothills of Black Mountain. It blocked their escape route , and in the end , They could not escape and decided to fight that Dragon!.

Xin who’s in the front line attacked the dragon furiously with his father’s legendary sword, but it’s only like a toothpick for the dragon. Lire with her Eaglesong bow, also attacked the dragon with her agility , and her aim was never miss, it hit the dragon eyes!. Angelica with her Elemental mastery, use her staff to summon a fire and ice storm but on her way to summon the storm, the dragon's breath made her turned into stone. The Paladin, Jake with his faith and bible, prayed and dispelled the petrifying dragon’s breath from Angelica. The fourth adventurers agreed to attacked the dragon together on its head and it was right! The Mighty Dragon fell after a single blow on the head by the fourth adventurer. As a group of adventurers who didn't know each others, they had saved the day and also the town. The Dragon followers also nowhere to be found after that attack and their existence was no more. Xin and his group rebuilt the Fairy Town and they lived with peace without worrying about the misleading group, dragon followers.

My Third Journal

So here I am, the mid-term test has already finished. Actualy, I’m worried about my score, especially on human philosophy class . I think it’s the most difficult subject I’ve ever had in my whole life. For Writing I subject itself, I’m quite sure that I’ll pass. By the way Mam ice , my lecturer hasn’t announced the score that’s why I’m still curious about it.

Last 3 weeks, my lecturers Mam ice and Mam Ing, told us to make our own Zodiac. Hmm zodiac, For some people ,It’s not easy to believe zodiac’s forecast or we usually know as Horoscope. But some of them takes it seriously , for example on this year their romantic stuff will be rise and they will find their lovers. But sadly not all of them got the same result as the forecast. Let’s back to the topic, before I made my own zodiac I was wondering about animal or mythology creature that has similar personality like me, and in the end, I found that winter wyvern which has a cold personality but also kind , fits me well.

Last 2 weeks, on 11^th April 2016 to be exact, we had a cultural event called ICFC its quite amusing and interesting but I think in the future the committee should invite representatives from around Asia like Japan , Hongkong , Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and  Phillipines . Because I'm curious to learn their language as I want to be a tour guide, I need other language beside English so I can communicate better and more fluently.

And the latest task, my class finally reached the Unit that basically talk about narrative, In my head, when I think about narrative all kinds of fairy tales popped up and make me recall them. But this time I have to work on my own narrative story!. Because I like game and fantasy stuff, so I chose fantasy as my theme of my narrative story, I’m quite hyped when I wrote the story because I felt like I was in the story!. Lastly I want to improve about my accuracy and precision when I’m writing because I found some mistakes on my original narrative story, like : “They wasn’t” and I wrote the wrong name on some characters like “Xin became Xian”.  And finally I think narrative is my favorite kind of text so I will work more seriously and I hope next month , when there will be an event about writing narrative I could win the first place and earn the prize and if I win, I will share the prize (money) to my parents  to make them happy.

My Impression about ICFC

Last Friday , i attended an event called ICFC, it stands for International Cultural Festival and Celebration. The event itself is quite fun because the auditorium had decorated and there are some booths that represented  from each nation. The representatives were from China,Indonesia,Belarusia,France,Spain and lastly, Germany.

China who went to the stage first, presented about their cultural handwriting called Chinese calligraphy which very difficult to write haha~, and they describe about their traditional house which has a pool in front of it, Chinese people believe that a pool is needed in some situations like when their house is burning they can extinguish the fire with it, also it can be a fish pond too.

France’s representative came to the stage after china’s, they taught us about how to pronounce france like a sir, my tongue got twisted many times urgh, Belarus as the third competitor, came to the stage and told us about their nation, which located on Eastern Europe, it has a beautiful  land and it’s actually landlocked, it means they don’t have direct access to the sea.

Spain’s representative was Domingo himself, he showed a video about city in spain and its carnaval, but that’s not all, Domingo’s friends which are salsa dancers surprisingly came to the stage and taught everyone to dance salsa, the dance itself was quite energic and fast that it could burn calories and make you lost your weight, an interesting way to diet!

The fifth representative was Indonesia itself, they described about our traditional food, Pecel. Which is a mixed vegetables with peanut sauce, and then two singers came to the stage and sang many traditional songs from almost every part of Indonesia like Yamko Rambe Yamko and Ondel-Ondel.

And last but not least, the representative from Germany, actually the representative was very kind, she gave many prizes to every of us who could answer her questions about germany, like it’s famous singer, part of germany and germany's famous landmark. From this event, I conclude that this kind of event is amusing , even the audience from High School Students were all excited and it's useful too because it gives me some knowledge about other nation. In the future ,I hope this kind of event can invite representative from Thailand,Taiwan,Japan, and around Asia, so it will be more amusing and I can learn their language as well.

My own kind of Zodiac

            Since I was a kid, I’m always curious and I like everything about dragons, especially wyvern. A wyvern itself is a mythology creature from ancient greek and medieval culture, who lives in the caves and breathes fire. So, I will make a zodiac sign with a sign of a specific kind of wyvern, a Winter Wyvern. Winter wyvern is a fictional kind of wyvern that mostly known from an online game called Dota . Here is an artwork of winter wyvern. The Picture source is from tumblr.

                                                      

People who have this zodiac have a unique personality. Their element is Ice. They are kind, calm and patient but sometimes they are too shy and uptight to one another. They like to mentally support their relatives including friends and family. They may look silent, but they have many inspirations to be expressed and explained. Don’t make them angry because, you don’t want to see an anger of a patient and calm person, right?

Also,people who have this zodiac have their secret goals, they are : to be communicative and easy going, to be able to control their emotion, and to be valued and appreciated by others.

People who have this zodiac will be a perfect couple with another zodiac such as : Leo, who is able to be a leader to lead the way and help them(refers to the people with Wyvern zodiac) to be  brave , responsible and able to control their emotion. Also People with Sagitarius zodiac, who have an optimistic and honest personalities that can motivate people with wyvern zodiac to be more optimistic and be an easy going person,also their honesty can help people with wyvern zodiac to be more open to criticsm and able to introspect themselves to be a better person. And the last, here is the Wyvern Logo by Ninjawoof as the zodiac sign.

Moment of comeback

            Humans, as long as they live they will face many kinds of events, whether it’s good or bad, a progress or a regress . Just like yin and yang, this world where we live has balance in all things. I want to tell you the moment when I made a  “comeback” from my sorrow and rose up to be a “better me”.

            When i was an elementary student, most of my friends were friendly and very cheerful, yet sometimes they were annoying , they like to mock if i do something wrong or got a bad score. Usually the way they mock was like repeating my name and keep saying my score with monotone voices. Because I was still a kid, sometimes I cried and told my mom about it, but my mom always told me : “if you do the same thing like them,you are not better than them.” That sentence always came up in my mind everytime I want to hit and punch the mockers. “Mockers and bully, why do they even exist?” i asked this question to myself.

            It said that life as a junior highschool student is usually full with delight and happiness. I think that rule was inappropriate for me. At first,nothing bad happened on my first year in junior highschool but then, on my second year on junior highschool. That misery started and surprisingly the guy who was the bully’s boss is my “best friend”. Let me tell you about what happened before this guy became my first enemy on school.

            Am I allowed to put his full name on this post? I don’t really care though if he reads this , His nickname is Thody, our first meeting was when I was on 5^th grade on elementary school, he played basketball a lot with me, almost every afternoon until evening. He was a really an interesting person, he taught me about sports and how to use social media, as I remember he made me account for Facebook and Yahoo. I had a good relationship with his family too.I know his family background, his father is from Medan and his father’s clan is Batak, and his mother is from Manado , and his mother's clan is Minahasa . Nothing bad happened at first, since he was a really good person, but I felt something that made me uncomfortable. He always copied my homework, he talked dirty words almost everytime (except in front of his parents of course~) , he also asked the answers on every exam. He said its for the feedback for his kindness. So he did the whole thing for purpose.

            As soon as I rejected his question of exam’s answer, his behavior turned 180 degress on me ONLY. He bullied me all the time since that day, he also invited his gank to bully me, so he wasn’t alone. They liked to write my name on the whiteboard then put a dirty word in the end of my name and mock my friend’s name which i had crush to and they match me with the girl I don’t like. And of course, they were being racist too.

            I was on the lowest and deepest sorrow of my life, nobody cared about me even my close friends, since they were being threatened by the bully. If my friends help me, they would beat me up when the class was over and spread rumor that i did bad things like fighting each other (juvenile delinquency)  and told everyone that i had dropped out from school.Well, I was almost tired to handle their bully. My family never stop to supported me and gave me advices.

             It was the day of National Exam, that was the final showdown for me to prove them. I don’t need parasite kind of friends like them. Yeah, God is not dead he is surely alive. I got the highest score in my class and beat all the bullies who thought i was lazy and idiot. Some of them moved to other school, since they didn’t pass the exam and some of them were put on different class. I was glad that i can overcome this problem and since that time i became more carefull to make friends. In the future, i know that i can’t avoid this kind of people, but i know how to handle them now. Haters gonna hate and their bully doesn’t make me down but make me become a better person.

My Second Journal

                 I think i must move on from my mistakes in writing before. I made many mistakes in grammar and I used words that’s not effective,hard to understand, and label a person without reason. I have learned a lot from this class about grammar,sentence and punctuation, yet I still made mistakes about it.

                Obviously I still have to work on to revise my grammar, my sentence (usually I make only a clause not a sentence) and this small detail, punctuation. One of my mistakes about punctuation is I used singular form on plural (I wrote sibling’s instead of siblings’) I didn’t realize that I made this small detail mistakes but very crucial.

                I used what I have learned in other context usually when I’m chatting with my foreign friends that’s not native English speakers, sometimes when they made mistakes I corrected them directly and spontaneously haha. And now my friends keep calling me “Mr.Corrector” but I know it’s just a joke and they’re actually  happy because I care about them.

                Midterms is on its way! Prepare everything before it arrives in front of us. I need to study and later write accurately in grammar and vocabulary that I use. Furthermore, I will read some of my friends blog to increase my vocabulary ,and study about the type of text like descriptive,narrative,procedure and recount text like when I was in Senior High School. Last thing before I finish this Journal, I hope God bless me and all of my friends so we can pass this exam and get an amazing score.

"Your choice now determine what will happen to you afterwards"

People who have socialized with me

       Many people have socialized with me since I was child, including my family and friends. Many kinds of people with their unique personality like introvert, extrovert, cheerful, short-tempered, easy-going and uptight person who usually close themselves against strangers.

               
       I have a big family. The family from my mother and my father have different culture and different routines. Let’s say my family from my mother, most of them are born on West Java, just like my mom. She was born in Indramayu, she was the youngest child of 4^th sisters, yeah all of my mom’s siblings are females and they are half sundanese and half chinese, because my grandmother is sundanese and my grandfather is chinese. Unfortunately both of them had passed away since my mom was still 6 years old. My mom and her siblings are taught to be tough women since they were child because they had to do all things by themselves, like studying, working and earning money ,washing dishes and clothes, also shopping for daily needs. Since I was child my mom usually brought me to their house to help her siblings' work and all of them loved me because I was a good and obedient boy. Now all of them live in Bandung,West Java. I haven’t visited them for 3 years and I really miss them so much.

               
        I live in Surabaya because my mom met my dad here. They are pen friends since they were teenager. So that’s why I live here at Surabaya. My father’s family is a very big one because my grandmother has given birth of 6 children, 2 of their childern are females and 4 are males. My father is also the youngest among them all, just like my mom. My father family’s background is pure chinese and cantonese. My grandmother is from China and my grandfather is from Hongkong. They used to wear cheongsam (for women) and changsan (for men) but not anymore. Both of them migrated from their nation to Indonesia in 1970 and decided to married and lived in Probolinggo for a long time, after about 10 years, they decided to moved to Surabaya from 1980 until now. All of my father siblings' have their own personalities, like my eldest uncle is humble and wise, my eldest aunt is very cheerful, my second uncle is humorous , my youngest aunt is a calm person. However, my youngest uncle is  an arrogant person because he always shows off his wealth and money, but never help other siblings when they are short in cash. And the last, my father was a short-tempered person then, now he is a patient and indulgent person. He has changed his personality since he became a church-goer . I think that’s a little story about my family.

               
        At school, I got a lot of friends because of it, including true and fake friends. My kindergarten friends were very friendly and cheerful just like me, but unfortunately I’ve forgotten them all. On elementary school, I had a lot of friends who liked sports and drawing. Surprisingly I met one of my elementary friends who now studies on the same university and same department, his name is Jeffrey Jaya. I had a bad experience though when I was in junior high school a gank of bad boys was formed and bully me, they like to make me feel hopeless and make me want to quit school, but my buddies and my parents always supported me and caught me when I fall. I have proved to the bully gank  that I passed my National Exam and got an excellent score. Right in their face!  I think that’s better than I'm fighting them and reacting to their mocking. In Senior High School I didn’t have many problems beside math subjects, Yeah, math is a terrifying ghost to people who don’t like to count and understand  complicated things. I always forgot the formulas and my teacher sometimes scolded me because I couldn't answer her questions. But in the end I could pass the tryout exams ,school exams, and the national exams. And of course the best score on my report was English subject , that’s why I chose English department for my study at university. Finally, everyone who have socialized with me , bad and good people, have their own role in my life, such as my mom who catch me when i fall and the bully who made me tougher and wiser now. I believe it's God's plan to take me into higher level in my life :) .
