n the vast Gobi desert, three of the king’s best knights conveyed a local criminal who had
tried to rob a museum. The only things he had touched were golden artifacts that were
only discovered recently, this robber was wearing a rough textured black robe, which was
dragging on the sand next to the knights and their camels.
He had his hood pointed to the ground. No one could see his face, even if you stared straight
into his or her eyes. No matter how hard you tried you could not see his face, due to this fact the
king had ordered his most experienced men to arrest him, their armor was battle scarred with
hint of blood here and there. Even the camels were the best found in the king’s mansion, people
had figured that this man was no ordinary man, though he seemed ordinary from the outside.
After a few hours of travel they had gotten to the Gobi Castle, it was a huge structure, which
casts a shadow over tens of hills. Once you stepped inside there were a series of steps, the kings
cathedral was made of diamond walls and one chair at the top of the series where the king sat.
The knights pulled out their swords, daggers, and spears as the criminal was brought into the
mansion. The walked up the steps slowly while tripping on his robe, some say he might have just
been buying time.
Finally at the to top of the stairs the criminal kneeled at the feet of the king. This king did not
look ordinary, he was a very young king, and he was only thirteen. His father had passed away
few months ago, he had try to figure how to make anything you see then imagine into gold, he
had died in a chemical explosion, but no body was found. The king looked down with his young
face, started questioning the king when suddenly there were small tremors.
Everything froze for a second, after these small tremors all the knights flew against the
walls, as they were unable to move. There in the middle of the rooms kneeled the criminal, no
movement, and no breath. The knights tried to free themselves but the efforts were futile. The
king stared in awe of what happened. All of a sudden there was more tremors and a pincher came
crushing the wall upon its entry.
Another pincher drove its way through the opposite wall. This time making the roof started
crumbling apart. In panic all the knights tried to surround the king. Then they looked at the
kneeling criminal, who has not moved. All the knights got frightened. Then the criminals aura
got stronger, his eyes turned blood red. All the knights no longer stayed, they fled in utter shame.
The criminal stood up, flicked his cape, and went airborne, flying towards the gigantic beast.
The criminal fled out through the fissure in the wall. Everything had been silent for a while,
but then the crumbling continued, and the tremors resumed. The king was the only one in the
castle; all he could do was prepare for the roof that would collapse on him. Suddenly the roof
came flying off and flying in the other direction. From behind the dust, the young king saw the
giant beast; it was a humongous spider with at least a jillion eyes, more then ten legs, and three
pinchers in front of his mouth. The king tried to hide behind a fallen rock or behind a pole, but it
was all useless. As the beast was about to leave something looked down at the king, the criminal
was riding on the humongous spider. He looked down and you could see the faintest of smiles.
The king was devastated; he could not put any of the pieces together. He had been hiding
behind his fallen throne for at least thirty minutes, then his mouth straightened and his eyes got
