i! My name is Jake Brown. I am an adventurer, driving miles and miles in the Gobi
Desert in the scorching hot. Let’s rewind two weeks back. I was walking on a lovely
street enjoying the pleasant weather in a country called new world. On the way, I saw
a flea market where people were buying and selling things such as crystal gondolas. I
walked through the flea market and bought a small sphere.
After returning home, I started reading a book about the Gobi Desert. I have a habit of reading
aloud. The Gobi desert is in between China and Mongolia and is the fifth largest in the world.
Whenever I said Gobi, I always hear an awkward sound is coming from my bag! As I opened my
bag the sound stopped. I saw a golden light around the sphere inside my bag. I took the sphere
ball out and said Gobi, it flashed so bright, I had to cover my eyes. Then the ball started to levitate
around me and stopped.
Then a golden Dragon statue popped out from the sphere and tried to touch it. But it came to
life and said in a rough voice “Hello Sir knight”, to Jake. You have a different Aura. That’s why you
are the chosen one for this mission. I was confused and asked “what do you mean?” The Dragon
answered, you need to go to the Gobi desert and save our lives from a bad guy. What?… The Dragon
answered, “I will only tell you ,if you agree to come on this voyage and will not turn back.”
“Before that can I ask something’’ I asked “sure.” The dragon answered “Don’t you think that
I am too young and only twenty -five years ol…’’. But the dragon cut me off and said “ one wise
man said that ,no matter what you are , how old you are it is never too late for a good deed: OK!.”
Is there any reward, if I complete this voyage?” I asked.
“Yes, you will get a pool of gold”, the Dragon said. I visulized myself swimming in a pool of
gold until the dragon snapped his finger to me. I bounced back and said “OK! I need to save your
world but how?’’ I asked. “You need to participate in a quiz about the Gobi desert. “You ‘re lucky ,a
man finished half of the challenge” ,the dragon answered. “What do you mean by it? I asked. The
last man finished a violent physical challenge, but he was dead by the time he finished the quiz.
“Okay! That means now I need to study for the quiz. “Who is that bad guy”, I asked. “ The black
Dragon took control over the Dragon World. If you beat him with his challenge he can give us
back our world’’ the dragon said.
In two weeks, I read all the books about the Gobi desert in the new world Library. Now you
know, why I am in this desert. Do you want to know where and how I am going.?
We need to take a flight to Ulan Baatar then drive 2300 miles south east. Wait, I can see
the dragon statue jumped out the jeep and ran towards the statue. But it did not vanish. Do you
know why? ,Let me tell you that the dragon from the sphere had a ring on its right ear and on the
Internet I saw that dragons statues, with rings around their right ears will not vanish ,if you have
an aura.
I saw there was a hole in the stomach, but what should I do next?. Then something hit me, I
took out the sphere and placed it in the hole. The dragon statue went down into the sand and a
door came up. I opened the door and went in. To my surprise a lot of dragons were in the lair.
There I spotted the golden dragon, and said, “ Hi .” “Hello Sir Knight”, please take your seat on
the stage the dragon said. There was a black dragon looking at me with much hatred. The golden
