Princess Panita of the Gobi Desert
Victoria Shanghai Academy, Anya Brown, Fiction: Group 2
O
nce upon a time, a princess called “the great ruler PANITA!” lived in the Gobi Desert in
Mongolia with her husband, who was named Geezail. He was also a great and famous
warrior and people called him “the greatest warrior of the Gobi Desert.” Panita and
Geezial were a beautiful and lovely couple, and the perfect match together.
Panita was the princess of a tribe called the Great Tribe of the Gobi Desert. Her husband
trained the soldiers every day and they were a good working team together. The prince was a rich
man, he was a charming and good looking! Panita loved him a lot, but had kept a secret from
him and other people about a necklace she wore on her neck. It had the power to make “Cold” and
“Frost”. Panita had an animal called “Fatty”! (Her Favorite Animal!) It was a rainbow coloured,
magical puppy dog !
Geezail was very popular, even more so than Panita. People respected him a lot. What with
being the husband of a princess, it was very hard to keep up with his own hobby of polo. He had
a tribe of 3,000 men aged between 30 years to 47 years who he had to train to fight; just in case
people needed their help.
The prince was a great commander and his teaching skill was at the highest level. Many
people were very poor and often his troops would go and look after the injured and homeless
people as well. His troops would then take them to Panita. She would then cast a spell on them
with a magic towel that could heal the sick and injured. She sang “Bring the cloud and blow, heal
my friends and tell me what they need.” Then they were well again and had some money to go
back to live with their families and friends.
One day, on a Sunday afternoon, a neighbouring tribe called the Lanzhou was on the way to
attack the Gobi Desert. Geezail gathered all his men to start a two day journey to find them. The
women were left behind. Panita hoped for the men to return soon and prayed every single night
and morning. The men had been gone for long time. Panita finally asked Fatty to go and search
for them.
Fatty did so, and returned after a week and said “They are still fighting but Geezail has been
hurt and very badly injured. The Lanzhou were very close to killing Geezail, luckily he had a
magic ring, which he then smashed on the floor, this made most of The Lanzhou soliders die.
Geezail kept on calling your name before he blacked out. You must go to save him. The Lanzhou
even stronger soldiers were on the way to join in the battle who fought even harder!”
Panita and some of the women of the tribe travelled across the desert to where the Lanzhou
were, to fight them and find Geezail. Panita over heard The Lanzhou solider said “Geezail had
been outnumbered by them and couldn’t beat them. Geezail and his soldiers had left, back into the
desert, some time ago.”
The women searched the desert. But they had no luck in finding Geezail. A month, past,
Geezail and the soldiers had completely disappeared.
After such a long search, Panita realised that she may never see Geezail again, she was heart
broken. They trekked across the desert. Just before they reached Gobi territory, they stumbled on
foot prints in the sand. The footprints stayed where they were, even though the wind was strong.
The women of the Gobi tribe stared at the foot prints in wonder. Panita found them very familiar
