The Story of William: Part 1




This is a story of faith, perseverance, and the battle against the old human nature. 

We join William on a quest to encourage, promote, and glorify the One True King, and to battle wherever darkness lies. 

“I can do all things through him who gives me strength.”

INTRODUCTION


             Sir William was a good looking, hardworking slave boy personally picked by the King to be rescued out of bondage.  He is smart, and skilled with the sword.  I daresay that no other boy his age is as chivalrous and kind as he is.
            I will begin his tremendously amazing story at a place near “The Canyon of Shrieks” by the old shepherds that have once watched their flocks on its once lush plain.

CHAPTER 1
             This place is so dry!” thought William as he walked on.  “And so quiet too!”  William’s black hair seemed to reflect the dry heat of the canyon.  He was incredibly thirsty.  All William could hear was the pounding of his riding boots on the ground.  They seemed to say “Water-thud-water-thud-water...” 
            William thought back to his days in bondage and when he was a slave for the emperor.  He remembered the day when the King had came and taken him away.  He also remembered his promise to the King.  “I will serve you always,” he had said, “Even until the day I die.”  William didn’t mind the heat as much anymore.  He was glad he was free.  At that very moment,  he heard an eerie yell. 
            “Eie-aii-aiii-ii!”  He heard the yell again, and this time it seemed to be closer.  Suddenly, the whole canyon started echoing with the eerie yells.  William gasped in horror, as there was a break in the mist.  The creatures were circling him like vultures ready to eat an animal carcass! William did not know what to do.  His hair on the back of his neck stood on end. 
            He felt a sudden impulse to run, but he remembered the words told to him by the messenger of the King:  “I can do all things through Him who makes me strong” William clenched his teeth.  “I will not fear,” he thought.  “The King depends on me to take the message to the king of Anthropoly.”
            William felt a sudden peace inside of him, even though the creatures were starting to swoop down on him.  William turned so only his sword side was facing the creature.  When the creature came hurtling out of the air, he applied a crosscut to it and split it in two.
