Essay About Biggest Problem And Little Districts

CHAPTER 1
There is a beautiful land called Taylem. It has no cities, just little districts spread across the
land. The districts are like villages where everything the village needs is grown and made in
the district. The country is a beautiful place of rolling hills, dense forests and plenty of
natural wildlife. The districts are not joined by nasty concrete roads but instead they have
dirt or cobblestone roads made by people in the districts. There are no cars, planes, busses or
trains in Taylem. People get around by horse and cart, home-made bikes, and boats.
The country that borders Taylem is called Barstland. It is not as nice as Taylem but more
people live there. Anyway, Barstland claimed that Taylem used to belong to them. But what
they really wanted was the natural resources that Taylem had so much of. There was an
abundance of gold, diamonds, timber, coal, and plenty of fresh water. So with that excuse
they invaded Taylem.
In Taylem there is a certain man named Figmo. He is 25 years old. His district has not yet
been affected by the war. His dream and goal has always been to be an adventure hero, but
he never had the chance in such a peaceful country. He is a man who has the gifts of an
adventure hero. He is very resourceful, skilful, and very, very brave. He is tall, thin, good
looking, and very clever. Even though he has all these qualities, he has a bad habit of
sometimes being influenced by the pressure of others.
Both of Figmos parents had died when he was 20 years old leaving him a sailing ship called
“The Jubilee”. Everything on the Jubilee was made up of solid timber with plenty of gold
because of the abundance of them in Taylem.
Even though Figmo has no brothers or sisters, he has a very close friend named Grest. They
are the same age and they have been friends since they were children. Grest is a good
companion to have around because he is very encouraging. He is very good at following
instructions but not good at giving them.
Figmo also has a cousin called Kab. Kab is the kind of guy you just have to love. He is a
chubby, funny sort of guy who could make everybody laugh in the midst of the worst
situations. His biggest problem is that sometimes he takes his jokes too far. He is 23 years
Grest has a fiance called Tashi. She is very attractive and she is very athletic. She always loves
an adventure and is ready to tackle the next challenge. She comes from a different district
than the three men. She could sometimes be a bit bossy and even demanding.
CHAPTER 2
One morning Figmo woke up with a troubled look on his face. You see, he just had a dream
where he saw a lady on an island calling out to him saying,
“I can help you but you must help me first!”
He didnt know what it meant so he went to see Grest. On his way there he saw a bird that
stood out to him. It came up to him and started talking. It gave him directions to the island
in his dream. Then it flew away.
Shocked that a bird can even talk, he went to see Grest.
“Hi Grest, I NEED to talk to you NOW!” he said.
“Hi Figmo, whats up?” he replied.
“Im freaked out at this dream I had, and you wont believe what happened on the way
here.”
