The Legendary Book (Short Story)(Book)

  Once upon a time, there was a planet named “Dom” which human lives in. There, books were the most important to human there. It contained knowledge of just what we can think of. There were many different kind of book, for an example such as novel, text book, story book etc. But, there was a book named “Legend” that was never been found till now. Based on rumours, this book was never been found due to its’ power. One day, an adventurer named Xyphurus had his journey to Prairie Town, a normal town that most adventurer been through there. Xyphurus fate was change after the day he reached Prairie Town.

  When he reached Prairie Town, he saw a group of well-trained soldiers searching for something. He heard two black smiths discussing about the kingdom of Saint Haven. He heard from them that the King, Percy send all of his troops for the search of the legendary book, Legend. The King even set a bounty to inform those whoever found the book will be rewarded wealth. Xyphurus was interested on the legendary book and wanted to search for himself. So he decided to ask the people of that town to collect some hint of the where about of the book. After question with a few of strangers, he came across a purple tent. Xyphurus felt strangely like a force was pulling him into the tent. Without hesitated, he went in to the purple tent. When he pulls up the curtain of the tent, he saw an old lady sitting with a magical orb that was placed on a round table. The old lady told Xyphurus that the day they meet was finally come. Xyphurus did not understand what the old lady was trying to say, he questioned her about the legendary book. The old lady said when the sunset of the full moon, the book shall review its location but beware the chaos that was meant to be. Xyphurus thanked the old lady and went out from the tent; he wondered why the old lady said that they will meet. At the time he turns back, the tent was disappeared.

  At that moment, a bright yellow light shine and the sky turned yellow, it was already sunset. A mysterious light showed a pathway in front of Xyphurus for few seconds. Xyphurus remember what the old lady told him, he quickly packed up his things and proceed to Calderock Village. When he reached the gate of Prairie Town, he heard the sound of clashing swords from the forest nearby, he quickly ran towards the forest. By the time he reached, he saw a battle among the soldiers of Saint Haven and a woman who holding a sharp blade. He quickly assists the woman by battling the soldiers. During the battle, the woman asked whether Xyphurus was going betray the King. Without replied her question, Xyphurus asked her why she battle against the soldiers. She said the Kingdom was going to use the legendary book to conquered Dom and the other planet. Slash! All the soldiers were down. The woman told Xyphurus Aqua was her name, Xyphurus introduce himself to her. Aqua explained the situation that the king was going to use the power of legend to rewrite the world to him. His greed on the search of the legendary book was dangerous; this was why she started battle against the king. Suddenly, a white light of a letter “L” came from Xyphurus right hand glow brighter and brighter, showing the pathway to the legendary book. Aqua asked Xyphurus was he the chosen one, Xyphurus did not knew what she was talking about.

  Without staying, Aqua told Xyphurus that there was no time left to waste, because the soldiers were about to found the legendary book. They continue headed Calderock Village for the search of the legendary book. About three hours later, they both reached Calderock Village and went into a hut for a hideout. Aqua was thinking a plan to sneak out and search the legendary book before the king did. Xyphurus asked what the legendary book was; Aqua hesitated for a while and replied him. The legendary book, Legend had a power that can rewrite the entire universe. Whoever got the legendary book shall be given a chance to control the past and future of the entire universe. That was why she was preventing the king of reaching the legendary book. Slash! The soldiers starting to harm the villagers by killing their relatives. Aqua and Xyphurus rushed out to stop the soldiers by battling them. They were outnumbered; this time all the villagers helped them to protect the village. They used all their farming tools as weapon to battle against the soldiers. One of the villager said to them that this was their village to protect, so he told them to continue their search.

  Xyphurus and Aqua leaved the battle to the villagers and continued running to the centre of Calderock Village. As they reached, Xyphurus right hand glowed, the letter “L” appeared again. But this time, more letters was appeared and the word “LEGEND” was form. The water fountain stopped spraying water and the light of the full moon shines at the water fountain. A shooting star was coming towards the water fountain’s direction, instead of destruction, a bright light shine the whole Dom. When they opened up their eyes, the book Legend floating in front of them and all of the sudden everything had stopped. Legend opened its cover and spoke to Xyphurus that now he was the owner of it. Xyphurus thought of what he capable of doing to the past, maybe he could get what he wanted most. Aqua fear Xyphurus will do the wrong thing, so that she told him his greed will guide him to the wrong path. Xyphurus came to his mind of thinking the sacrifice that had been made by the villagers; he also reminded the words said by the old lady that chaos was meant to be. With this, he used the power of Legend to restore balance and bring peace to the universe. All of the people who sacrifice for this war will be revived.


  He again used Legend to destroy itself, so that no one else can use the power of Legend anymore. The legendary book started glowing bright and its power disappeared. All people’s memory of the legendary book was lost except Xyphurus and Aqua. Legend started changing colour from white to brown and became a normal story book at the end. At last, the world was peace again. Now Legend became a famous story book of the entire Dom and its writer was Xyphurus.
