The tale of Taqu

Today, I will tell you a tale of the dragon who risked his life over the safety of Paris. Our one and only French dragon hero; Taqu the Warrior.

***

Taqu soared in the clear, blue skies, looking over the beautiful city of Paris that was in his hands…soon. Too much pressure was in his hands, becoming King and all. He had always wanted to be a warrior instead, just fighting off bad guys, but his father, King Rawe, would never accept Taqu without becoming king. He didn’t get to choose his own destiny anyways, because the coronation was the day after. 

   As Taqu was thinking about his destiny, a shooting star passed by. 

His fate was changed.

The next day, everyone was getting ready for Taqu’s coronation by dressing up, setting up the stage,, etc. In his room, Taqu had butterflies in his tummy, (actually, real butterflies), he was anxious about The Promise. It was when you take a vow about serving the community with all required items in order to survive. To show that, you had to wear The Ring.

   And when it was that time for Taqu, the storm arrived.

   People started looking up at the clouds in wonder of what was happening, but when grey clouds started to appear, people started to proceed into the palace. Taqu didn’t have a clue of what was happening either, but he knew something was about to hit, so he had to stop it. 

    When almost everyone except Taqu was inside, The Black Storm started to form. The Black Storm was a tornado shaped like a man which gobbled up everything it saw in sight. 

   Whatever was about to happen, Taqu was ready.

When the manlike tornado formed, the first thing it saw was Taqu. Black Storm started to throw trees at him, but Taqu dodged it all. He started to think that this fight might be useless, but it wasn’t. Because his fans were watching everything from inside the palace. 

  Now, Black Storm was starting to get restless, so he just grabbed Taqu by his tail and gobbled him up. 

   What happened to Taqu? Let me tell you.

Inside Black Storm’s belly, Taqu got an idea. He started blowing fire which stopped the tornado. Black Storm started shrieking as he went down in pain. 

  The sky cleared the grey clouds and the sun was shining on Taqu. The people as well as his parents fled from the castle in relief. “Taqu,” said King Rawe after he came out. “if you don’t want to be King, then I won’t force you. You have done a great deed today, hence I will let you choose your own destiny.”

   And from that day onwards, Taqu the Warrior was ready for anything.
