SKH Yuen Chen Maun Chen Jubilee Primary School, Wu Katrina Kelly, Fiction: Group 2
O
nce upon a time, in the Gobi Desert was full of villages and villagers because there was
a guardian bird name “Grid” who guard the villages live there, defense their village,
keep them away from danger, even use his magic heal power to heal the sick villagers.
One night, a traveler name “Shara” came to Gobi Desert, she put a lot silk of her
body instead of normal clothes. The nice villagers kept her to stay for one night because the Gobi
Desert is very very cold at night. The villager told Shara legends and tales about the Gobi Desert,
of cause, they told Shara the story of their guardian-Grid’s story. What marvelous things that Grid
did. There was once a powerful sandstorm in Gobi Desert, but the villagers are not afraid of it,
because Grid’s magic shield protected the village and the villagers from the powerful sandstorm.
No one was died and no buildings were destroyed.
In the next morning, Shara woke up earlier than any other villagers. She checked every
houses she passed to make sure not villagers were awoke. She walked slowly and makes sure not
a single step made any noise. She walked straight to the altar of Grid’s. She knelt and prayed to
Grid. Suddenly, a light was shown in front of Shara and it slowly turned into a bird.“Who are
you? I never met a person wear strange clothes like you, you must be from another place but not
the village.” said the bird in front of Shara. “Nice to meet you. You must be Grid. You were correct.
I am from another country but not this village.” replied Shara. “What were you wishing for? Even
you are not from the village, I still will finish what you are wishing for.” said Grid without any
feelings. Shara pulled down the silk on her body, burned skin was shown on her body, and then
she said, “I need my skin to be normal again, I hate to but on silk on my body but not normal
clothes, it is very hot.” Grid listened patiently and said, ”Okay. I will heal u.” A second later, Grid
took a deep deep breath and mumble magic spells. A slash of light slash forward to Shara. Shara
blinked at the momet. The light warp Shara tight and tight and everything end when Shara opend
her eyes again. Grid was standing in front of her. Lights gather in one of Grid’s wings, and a
mirror showed, Grid hand it to Shara. Shara grabbed it from Grid and look in the mirror, her face
was shown in the mirror, she is beautiful as an angel.”This all I will do for you, no wishes you can
make any more, my dear.” Shara took the sword under the silk on her body and point it to Grid
and said, “One of the stories that the villagers told me is that the feather of Grid has heal power. I
want all of it.” “I won’t let you do that. Each feather cost me a thousand years from my life.” said
Grid in a very low voice. However, Shara didn’t listen. She run straight to Grid with her sword.
Grid can’t dodge so the sword hurt Grid, light came out of Grid and grained to Shara. “This……is a
curse. From now on…..neither yours scars nor injure will never get heal.” said Grid weakly. Shara
is ran out of blood and she died in a bloody way.
At last, the amount of village and villagers in Gobi Desert are very less because no one
protects them.
