My Dragon Quest

Chasing the dragon, most know it as heroin, is an opiate that is an extremely addictive class one drug. Heroin is known as chasing the dragon because, when you first use heroin, you feel euphoria. You keep trying to get more and more of the drug to feel the same feeling you did the first time you used heroin, but it is never the same because your body has created a tolerance for the drug. Therefore, you are chasing a drug that is very destructive and bigger than yourself, just like a dragon. You are chasing after the dragon wherever you can and do whatever you can to get more. We, as Catching Dragons, are a safe-house for drug addicts, more specifically, heroin. Too many deaths come from drug overdoses in Licking County so we have come up with a plan to stop the addiction through a healthy, therapeutic environment by creating a place they can go to seek refuge and help for many loved ones in need.

As humans, we all possess great qualities. We develop memories that we can cherish forever. Hopes and dreams help us strive to do great things. However, we all have our demons that we all tend to conceal. The famous poem “Beowulf” is renowned for the battles against Beowulf and many monsters. The battles in the poem pose as metaphorical battles. Beowulf defeating the monsters represent him trying to overcome his demons. The last battle was between him and a dragon. To the reader’s surprise, he lost the battle. The dragon represents Beowulf’s greatest demon. Despite the dragons that Beowulf faced that are external, my dragons are more internal.

All I hear as i'm going down is ;Grunt, gorge! Plop,Smack,Splash.The slide throws me out and i'm now in an gigantic potbelly.That's when I caught up to my other friends.It felt good for a second but then,Sizzle,Fizz,Rumble.Awwwwww,it burns!It felt even worst than the lava in the restaurant. I sat there for 3/4 hours of burning, disintegrating with some of me over here, and other parts over there. Then finally it opens up and I am push out of the gigantic potbelly into an crazy fun roller coaster.

After a good night’s rest, we headed off to the trail. We had to take frequent breaks, because the air was super thin. The trail was rocky, uneven, and slippery. If I were to fall that would be very very bad. I thought it was easy, but then the impossible happened.

We started off at a jogging pace because we wanted to familiarize ourselves with the terrain. Almost every step we took there was either large pointed rocks, thick embedded roots, or large swallowing holes. We knew we had to be as careful as possible. There were warning signs all over the path to make sure people are aware of the possible dangers, but that never made us think to stop. Every one fourth of a mile there was a sign that told you how close you were to the top, so once we made it to the halfway point we decided to take a break. There was not much talking between both of us, our time was spent drinking water and preparing for the final stretch of the trail. After I was rested, I asked my brother what time we were at. He checked his phone and we were at 18 minutes. I thought to myself, It only took us 18 minutes to reach halfway up the mountain, and I think I did not push myself as hard as I could go. I turned to Cayden with a gigantic grin and said,”Want to finish before 30 minutes?” Judging by his body language, I could tell that he was exhausted. The higher elevation must be having an effect on his breathing. Out of nowhere, however, he put away his water and his

"I bet that was the dragon! It has my brother and father!" Maxwell exclaimed. "Let's get him!".

“Oh, my child. I would never hurt innocent children.” She thought for a moment. “In two weeks time, I want you to take all of the children to the Sacred Tree in the middle of the forest. When you get there, the Great Dragon will let you in and protect you, but you have to be in there by midnight if you want to be safe. Do you understand?” Aldegonde nodded, then ran off.

We went on a four and a half mile bike ride. It was all fun in games until we reached our second mile. The rest of our bike ride was filled with hills. Everything was uphill from now. Our legs felt like jello. After the long journey, we returned our bikes and drove to Aspen, Colorado. A bus took us to the start of the hikes and takes us back to the lobby area. It was about a nine mile drive. At the beginning of the hike, you get an option of whether you want to take the scenery hike or the crater hike. Of course, Mike makes us go through the crater one. We had to hike up that mountain filled with huge rocks and streams. It was one of the hardest things to do in my life because not only was I tripping over the rocks and branches, but there were giant poisonous spiders hiding everywhere. It took us about an hour and thirty minutes to reach the top. We lost track of time and we had to get back to the bus in 40 minutes or else it will leave without us and we would have to walk 9 miles back to the car. We practically ran down that mountain. Of course, my little cousin trips from behind me and we slid into the stream. I am not going to lie, that cold water felt really good, but we were soaked. I ran the rest of the way down with heavy, squishy shoes. I did not think it was possible to run that fast for so long, but somehow we mastered

“Ok John, I might need your help to get to where the Dragon is because I don’t know much about it, I’m on a blind mission.” Marcus said.

One day my brothers and I were playing around, and I came up with the idea to a game of obstacles. They both said “Sure.” My brother Justin explained “You can’t touch the ground it’s lava.”My other brother and I both agreed. They had thrown different clothes on the floor so that we could step on them. One of the obstacles was when we had to not get “eaten” by the “sharks”. We had a chair on my brothers bunk bed ,and we had to hold on to the metal bars that were on top of the bunk bed.You had to sit on the chair then you had to swing, while you are still holding on to the metal bars. When you swung you couldn’t take the chair with you.

It felt to Gilhain that he now lived on the Cardurleth. He dared not leave it, for the attacks of the enemy did not let up. And he trusted to no other to organize the defense. Not that others were incompetent; there were many who could do the task, but the responsibility was his alone.

Identifying characters in novels as either a virtuous hero or a malicious villain can appear to be a simple task, yet it is far more complex than many readers realize. The champion of a story must be just and his opposition purely evil. The gallant knight must be saving the princess from the wicked dragon. The knight in this classic tale is rather obviously deemed the protagonist of the story and the dragon the antagonist. Yet, they never stop to consider who the knight is, or that perhaps the dragon is not so vicious as he appears, or that perhaps simply because the knight is the protagonist does not mean he is a hero.
