The white queen pressed forward and in one mighty swing felled the king’s loyal guard. The king shrunk away, a sense of vulnerability washing over him. Suddenly, one of the kings henchmen lurched forward, sword in hand, appeared behind the king, trapping the ruler. Nothing to do. Nowhere to go. The king knew it was over. I tipped over the chess piece in disgust. Another game another loss. This was becoming monotonous. I played chess with my grandfather maybe twice a month and every time I lost. He knew the moves and maneuvers, attacks and counters. But most of all he knew me. “Good game, Chris,” my grandfather said. He got up from his chair, fixed his Eddie Bauer shirt and Renengton Royal tie, and winked “you had a couple good moves, but
The Norwegian crown prince and his army storm the castle in order to assume the throne, wasting no time. They are astounded by the royal deaths.
The two sisters were fighting over who would get the throne. The great battle raged for three days as the armies fought mercilessly. Both sides had agreed not to use magic, but the queen broke her agreement and used it. The sister’s valiant revolutionaries killed the evil queen's horrid army, which was composed of all sorts
They warned the king that he could be next. The king told the guards to search the rest of the castle for whoever killed his sons; he and the queen locked themselves in their room for safety, but it was already too late. Marrvack was already in the room and appeared to Frederick and Gertrude. Frederick reached for his sword and swung at Marrvack with all his might, but Marrvack blocked his blow with the Supremacy. The king was astonished to what he saw. Marrvack knocked the king down and kicked away his sword. They were completely defenseless against Marrvack’s powers. Marrvack said to the king, “I will spare your lives if you tell the guards to stand down and obey all of my order’s.” The king replied, “I will never give up my kingdom without a fight!” Marrvack said aggressively, “Fine, I will just have to take it by force!” Marrvack casted spells on the king and queen instantly. The queen was dying very quickly right before the king’s eye. There was nothing he could do, but sit there and watch. The spell casted upon Frederick was another death spell, but this spell killed Frederick slow and painfully. He suffered and cried while Marrvack laughed hysterically. The guards busted down the door to only their king and queen dead, with the menacing sorcerer standing there with a huge grin upon his face. The guards were in complete and utter shock. They knew they could
In “The Joy Luck Club” we learn how Waverly’s mother is constantly pressuring waverly to play chess because it is best for her since she is so superb at the game. On the other hand, even though Waverly knew she was a really good chess player. She made the decision to quit ,but when she consulted with her mother she asked why if she was such a good player and didn't work this hard to stop. Waverly then quit and her mother seemed not to care. This created a huge divide between the two of them,”I refused to speak and waited for her to come to me”(188). Once Waverly realized she needed that relationship with her mother ,she said,”I am ready to play chess again”(189). Waverly’s mother simply responded, “why do you tell me this...One day quit,
“What is happening? “Who is grabbing me by the neck?” she said. As soon as Sam grabbed her, a loud screech filled the courtyard. He grabbed her by the neck and threw her by the hair. She was covered with bruises and blood. Then Sam rushed over to her and then he picked her up by her arm, pulled her lips off and shoved rocks down her throat. No one knew what was happening because it just looked like the queen was floating around getting beat up by the
He jumped out of bed and looked out the window to the opposite side of the door. There were tons of warriors attacking the palace from the other palace that they’ve been having huge problems with, and when he turned around to run to safety it was too late! The other palace’s war leader was right behind him. The king's mind was full of freight. As he was looking at him as he thought of how he knew where his place in the palace was so fast and how he got through his army of warriors. While the war leader was smiling at him, he put two long swords to the king's neck threatening to kill him if he wouldn´t come with him to his palace. So he ended up going to the other palace with
In a land far away there was a kingdom, this kingdom was deemed the jelly kingdom. mainly because all of its inhabitants were made entirely up of a jelly like substance. Many citizens lived in this kingdom, mostly peasants and higher political figures but on top of them all lived the royal family. this family was made up of the queen, queen Alexandra and her son prince Pink. in recent years there had been a small battle between two kingdoms, the jelly kingdom and the fire kingdom. over time, the battle had evolved into a full-on war, it was known to all as the great rival war. in the midst of battle the late king, King Augustus had lost to a fire knight. There was a great mourning over his death, it was a sad day for all.
“I’m ready. Just kill me already.” The officer was taken aback by how bold she sounded but still gave the signal to the guard. He repeated the process and the blade fell down beheading the princess as well. Last but not least was the queen. He walked out of the room and led her in. She hesitantly got into position and just as the officer was about to give the signal, he heard her mumbling.
Suddenly, the wind stopped, and she could feel her feet touching the ground. Rebekka looked around her. They were in front of a dark, black castle. Marya handed her a sword and said, “I cannot go in with you. You must fight alone.”
They came to a pause at the door, not sure what to do next. Aeschine was reluctant to let him go, not wanting to go back to the lonely lifestyle that she was used to. Although she had not known him for more than a few hours, she already knew that she was enamored with the brave knight that had defended her. Tomislav seemed just as hesitant to leave, his eyes showing that he was quite captivated as well. Finally, after much internal debating, the princess invited him to come inside, contemplating ways to explain the guest, as well as her absence, to her father. Fortunately, King Wymond was still sound asleep like she left him, a thin layer of sweat covering his pale face. It filled Aeschine’s heart with dread to see him like this, reminding her that she had forgotten to get the medicine that she had left
Later that day, the king was in the arena and he had to choose a door. The crowd was cheering that the king didn't rule them anymore, the princess did. The king chose the door to the right and out came
My most meaningful contribution to my school community has been with the Medomak Chess Team. In addition to being a member, I am also founder and coach of the team at my high school. Using my knowledge of chess gained over the years, I prepare lessons twice a week and teach the other members about tournament chess. Whether it be learning about the most popular openings or studying a complex king and pawn endgame, I cover the ins and outs of tournament chess. My abilities as a coach are demonstrated at the Scholastic Team Championships each spring; the first two years we placed 1st in the reserve section, and this past year the team placed 4th in the championship section.
The thick dust rises lazily into the murky,lifeless sky as chaos ran rampant in the kingdom below. Distant shouting,metal clashing on metal, and frightened screams are the sounds made by the thousands of men,women, and children caught in the crossfire of an attack by the Ayrurouver kingdom or the defense of one of the most powerful kingdoms in the hemisphere called Aramoor. Among the distant yelling and frightened shrieks, a lone hooded figure let out a battle cry and begins to cut down a path of men to reach the castle. The mysterious figure reaches the castle with only a couple of minor to moderate wounds that could be tended to at a later time. The silent figure stalks into the Queen’s room and goes inside. When inside the room, the figure
He had the man apprehended. The police had the man arrested. The king was not happy at all. He went to tell Queen Charlotte that the robber was caught. The king was upset that he will have to buy the heels for the queen again.
On the other side of the kingdom, the king and queen sleep to the sound of their innocent prisoners. A rush of cold air hits the queen and wakes her up. She looks out the window and sees the glowing snow. “Evil awaits us”, she said.
