The Silver DiamondBy : Steven Ragucci

About exactly 1000 years from now, there was a boy named Perculous who helped his grandpa in his farm after his parents died when he was about 7 years old. He was half human, half alien unlike anyone else in the alien galaxy and wasn't very confident in doing things. To begin with, the soil was great, the plants grew plentiful, and Perculous and his grandfather always loved to grow broccoli and lettuce. It was like this for every single year.
During the next year, the soil was solid, the plants were dead and causing a huge disease, and there wasn’t anything Perculous or his grandfather could do to fix it. They thought they may have to leave and start fresh in another farmland area.
While gobbling on the very last of their crops, Grandfather said, “ I know that you aren’t very confident but, Perculous you are the only person in his galaxy who could save his galaxy from collapsing. About 8 years ago, a year before you were born we had the silver diamond,” said Grandfather.
“What was the silver diamond ?”Asked Perculous.

“What was the silver diamond ?”Asked Perculous.
Grandpa answered, “ It was the most precious thing in the galaxy. The very powerful item which makes our crops grow plentiful, the soil soft and well for farming, and most of all the thing that makes us live, keeping our galaxy safe, protected, and alive. And now this year it has struck our farm with a deadly disease of plants. The Silver Diamond was stolen by an unknown galaxy and you must give it back to our galaxy in order to save us all. I am depending on you to face the challenges that you encounter on this journey in order to save our farm. You don’t have much time. You will use Mercury, the ship that will bring you to this human galaxy. But, first you must go to the land of Sorcerers and meet Sorcerer Gatlerty who will give you a special power so you may survive this trip.”
That evening, Perculous knew he had to do something quick before his galaxy collapses. He hopped on Mercury, said goodbye to his grandpa, and in no time was heading to the Land of Sorcerers. When he reached there, he didn’t know where to start looking for Sorcerer Gatlerty. He checked deep in the woods first and then while looking for Sorcerer Gatlerty, Perculous spotted a huge golden light up on a tall tree that could be seen probably from a mile away. Perculous saw a small house in front of him and up there that had the name Gatlerty engraved in the door. Perculous climbed up the tall tree and got a wound from the very sharp bark on the tree. He shook it off and continued climbing up the tree and when he reached the small house, he knocked on the door.
“ Hello, Hello” said Perculous.

“ Hello, Hello” said Perculous.
And there he was, Sorcerer Gatlerty just as Perculous had imagined he’d look. A long, white hairy beard with a big purple cloak and a little hunchbacked. He also wore a purple long and a pointy hat that matched his outfit. Sorcerer Gatlerty knew exactly who Perculous was and was expecting him.
“ Come in, Come in Perculous ! urged Sorcerer Gatlerty. I know you don’t have much time, so let's make this quick, he addressed. This is a strength potion. It will make you very strong. I will also give you a special and sharp sword,” he stated.
Perculous drank the potion and in a matter of seconds he went outside and was able to lift Sorcerer Gatlertys’ house. Before Perculous left the Land of the Sorcerers, Sorcerer Gatlerty told Perculous that this unknown Galaxy that he must go to the Human Galaxy.
“ It is very good for you that you are half human and half alien because if you weren’t part human, you wouldn’t be able to breathe and then you wouldn’t be able to survive on the Human Galaxy," he said. Sorcerer Gatlerty also tells Perculous, “There will be scary creatures and in order to find the Silver Diamond, Perculous you must go to the highest point in the Human Galaxy. It is right past Evil Lord Sparticus’ Kingdom. It is very dark and mysterious. Anything may pop out and try to kill you with each step you take on the Human Galaxy. He also tells Perculous that he must fight Lord Sparticus in order to retrieve the Diamond.”

“Thank you Sorcerer Gatlerty ! I will start my journey to the Human Galaxy” said Pereculous.
He goes on Mercury and then in a few hours, Perculous reaches the land of the Human Galaxy. It was very cold for Perculous at the Human Galaxy. He had tried to start a fire but it was too dark in the land. He went off and started to look for the highest point in the galaxy. It was too dark but, luckily, Perculous had brought a flashlight with him on his journey.
“Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh !” Perculous screamed.
Right when Perculous turned around with his flashlight on, there was a huge beast with big claws and about double the size of him. He swung his claws at Perculous barely missing his face. Perculous used his superstrength to pick up a tree and chuck it at the beast. But, that was no match for the beast. He broke the tree right in half and came running to Perculous. Perculous then climbed up the tree and then jumped to the beast with his sword.Perculous sliced the beast right in half. It was all bloody and then that was when Perculous knew that for sure the beast was dead. Perculous then saw that huge mountain and Lord Sparticus’ Kingdom on top of it. Perculous used his superstrength to climb up the dark, steep, and rocky mountain. It took Perculous over an hour to reach the top of the mountain and then walk across the wooden bridge. Before he went in there, he took a deep breath and remembered who and what he was doing this for.
“ I am doing this for my grandfather and my galaxy,” Perculous remembered.

He gained more confidence and then busted the doors open to see and defeat Lord Sparticus. Lord Sparticus was sitting in his throne chair.
He asked “ Who are you, child ?”
Perculous answered, "I am Perculous from the alien galaxy, I have come here to retrieve the Silver Diamond and save my galaxy.”
Lord Sparticus asked “ Child, how are you breathing”?
Perculous answered, “I am the only one in my galaxy who is half human and half alien, the rest are fully alien.”
“Well then Perculous if you want the Silver Diamond in order to save your galaxy, you will have to defeat me in a fight,” Lord Sparticus answered.
Perculous took his sword out and got ready to fight Lord Sparticus. Lord Sparticus had a bigger and probably better sword than Perculous. But still, this didn’t make Perculous scared.
When they started the fight, Perculous was put down on the ground. “Surrender child !” said Lord Spraticus.
“You wish,” said Perculous.
He asked “ Who are you, child ?”
Perculous answered, "I am Perculous from the alien galaxy, I have come here to retrieve the Silver Diamond and save my galaxy.”
