A Fairy Tale :: creative writing

He knew that his first precede, the firebird, lived high up in the trees in the heart of the forest. Like lightening, they were hard to miss, and the piercing of its beak left(a) a burn that could never be forgotten. Suddenly, the boy heard a shriek, and he whirled his head to see the blood-red bird swooping toward his face. Panicking, the boy lunged for the ground, and for the sugar that the wise human beings had given him. He hurled it at the bird - and missed. The bird, angry, do another giant swoop at the boy - and tore its chassis as it flew straight into the blade of the boys sword. That was one creature taken condole with of. His next tar bum about, the freezing bird of passage, could be either overmuch harder, or much easier, the boy knew not which. The spider could not run, or jump, unlike whatsoever of its relatives, but it was harder to find, and its poison froze the human blood and do its victims help little, lying on the ground shivering until the arachnid fi nally took pity on his prey and ate it. He tried not to think about it. sort of the boy thought of ways to attract his prey if he could get it to come to him, the killing would be easier - and definitely much safer. The freezing spider would eat any kind of flesh it could, but it was well cognize that the spider loved most to eat the flesh of humans. Well, what should he do? Obviously bait was safer than waiting for an attack, so the boy pulled out his pricker and held it to his upper arm. That was when he saw the grey bristles of the freezing spider. It was sitting quietly on a nearby shrub, its back toward the boy. Holding back a sigh of relief, he took one quiet step toward his prey, holding the prickle high, and stabbed it through the spider before it knew what hit it. A little less active a kill than the firebird, but just as exhilarating. outright the only victim left in this task of the boys was the netherworld wolf, and what a creature. About the size of a pig, these do gs could tear up a man in two minutes flat, or so it was said. However, being the largest of the creatures made it the easiest target.
