Dominic and I worked on a short story about a year ago...when he was still in the second grade. It was about our favorite game and we spent a few weeks working out characters he liked and coming up with drama for them. He used all the writers' tools...brainstorming, drafting, and daydreaming. In the move, we lost all the info we'd come up with. BUT, we finally found his notebook and he took his second grade story and looked at it and rewrote it with fourth grade eyes today. He even typed it up. He's pretty proud of it and, well, I am too...
The Worgen Adventures
of Sasur Battlemane
By Dominic.M.B
Sasur’s parents were taken by the Scourge. Ragnes the Cruel made slaves
out of them for mining.
Sasur’s house is old
and falling apart. He lives with his big sister Helen and little brother Vobur
and they’re running out of food.
One morning, they
decided to look for their parents in the Scourge kingdom. They traveled to the Undercity
so Sasur and Vobur could seek their parents.
Suddenly, a pack of
Worgens snatched Sasur and Vober into the woods.
Sasur was bitten by one
and hje felt funny. Soon, he turned into a worgen. Sasur was alone because the wolves still had
his brother, Vober.
Sasur finally made it to the city of Gilneas, but it
was dark and lonely. He missed his family. Sasur knew it was the work of the scourge
and Prince Liam and the survivors stood ready at the front gate to take back their city. The prince gave
Sasur a spell to heal the hurt and give them power.
They ran into the city and
Vobur was fighting with the other worgens. The rebels came with canons and once
the guards were down, Lady Silvanas Windrunner was fighting King Greymane, Liam’s
father. Lady Silvanas ran away in fear and said “I’ll be back.”
Six months later the
horde came back with orcs…and…
Tuarans.
Goblins.
Trolls.
Blood Elves.
And the Undead.
And the warchief Garrosh Hellscraem led them as they were launching
plague barrels at the gates. Gilneans
fled from the city but Sasur stayed behind. He blew their battle ship up and
the horde retreated back to Orgrimmar.
It was a good victory,
but Sasur did not find his parents or his sister. He and Vober set out in
search of Ragnes the Cruel…
To be continued…
What a great thing to do together, and what a fun way to bring something that you both love to life like that!
