Many of the warriors died a gruesome and gory death, but the bloody gut worm showed no
signs of backing down. Hidden on a safe ledge, the chief warrior watched the battle from above,
pondering how to kill it by finding its weak spot. He noticed that the monster didn’t let anyone or
anything get to its back. “There!” he thought triumphantly to himself. “Its weak spot must be its
tail!” This was easier said than done. The Alghoi Khorkhoi was so protective of its tail that it made
its gruesome head seem like the tail to throw off any enemies. His mind spun with ideas on how
to defeat the creature and paid no attention to the moans and whimpers of his fallen comrades.
When he had settled on a method of attack, the careful and brave warrior began hopping from
ledge to ledge, chasing after the monster’s tail. The monster could sense that there was a powerful
man up high in the cave and kept shifting its eyes from the warriors to the ceiling, searching
endlessly for its nemesis. Then, when another warrior distracted the Alghoi Khorkhoi, the chief
warrior leapt down from a ledge and landed squarely on its tail with enough force to shake the
earth, puncturing his sword into the monster’s jelly-like back. Instantly, yellow gooey liquid
started gushing out of the deep wound. It let out an ear-piercing shriek and slithered slowly away,
its gaping wound dripping like a river across the cave floor.
Swish! The sand left behind by the fatally wounded Alghoi Khorkhoi started shifting and like
sand in an hourglass, it revealed a massive graveyard of dinosaur bones of all shapes and sizes.
The grand sight took everyone’s breath away…
Fossils of every colour, from the deepest blood-red hue to the most dazzling blues made up
this rainbow-coloured maze. In the midst of them lay one particular bone that stood out – a
lustrous gold that reminded the warriors of the radiant rays of the sun. Shaped like a crown, it
was as large as an ostrich’s egg.
This chief warrior was drawn to it immediately. It was what they had come all this way for. He
strode slowly towards the prize, picked it up, and raised it high above his head. This momentous
image was engraved into the minds of the remaining warriors. This warrior’s name was GENGHIS
KHAN. All because of this bone, he made continents bow to him, and it marked the beginning of
the greatest era in Mongolian history!
