Creative Writing: The Fall Of Superbia

The Fall of Superbia The land of Pacen. A land that was once full of peace and happiness now turned into a land full of fear and terror. A land where people constantly live their lives in fear of what might become of them. This is all due to the bane of the people’s existence. A creature so terrible that it gives even the bravest of knights nightmares. The creature that turned the once peaceful land of Pacen into a land of ash and fire. The creature known as “Exitium the Destroyer”. A dragon so large that it blots out the sun.

You there, give me your sword” and then Superbia took the sword Mallenator was still forging. “This sword is unimpressive, but it will do the trick”. “But” Mallenator protested, “That sword will not do the trick, it is not even finished. It will break against the dragon’s hide with one swing”. Superbia wasn’t listening. “Come along Fratris” Superbia said and then he grabbed the sword and Fratris and hurried away. “He never listens” Fortis said. Mallenator nodded “His pride shall be the end of
