TALE
OF
SNAILDOM
OF
SNAILDOM
"I'M THE BOSS, HERE!" Yelled the dreaded, unappealing Morgoth, very unhappy about the Snaildom Government's decisions. "YOU CAN'T SUDDENLY CHUCK ME OF THE THRONE, YOU NITWIT!"
"W-w-well..." began the governor, worrying Morgoth might cut of his limbs, "the citizens of Snaildom aren't very overwhelmed by your leadership. We insist on a vote!"
"YOU WHAT?! WHO AGAINST?"
"Th-th-there is the next-in-line, he is married to the princess, and the eldest of the couple."
"OH, THAT DAMEN BOY! HE'LL FRY FOR THIS!"
"S-s-sir, I have good-ish news!"
"WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE GOOD AT A TIME LIKE THIS?!"
"Snaildom has a fate-deciding t-t-tradition. The competitors must each participate in a competition."
"I CARE NOT ABOUT THIS COMPETITION, I WON'T BE THERE!"
"If you d-d-don't go, then Damen will automatically become the new King of Snaildom."
"FINE! THIS COMPETITION SHALL BE IN 24 HOURS. ALERT EVERYONE!"
"Y-y-yes, sir." The governor reluctantly called a Kingdom gathering, and soon, every citizen showed up. "Hello, everybody. The reason we are here toda--" Morgoth shoved the governor out the way.
"I AM ANNOUNCING IT, I AM THE KING!"
"A-a-all that could change!"
"SHUT IT! HELLO, MISERABLE SNAILS, WORTHLESS SNAILS, TRAITORS! BECAUSE YOU ARE A BUNCH OF KNUCKLEHEADS, THERE WILL BE A COMPETITION IN 24 HOURS. THIS COMPETITION WILL BE BETWEEN ME AND..." Morgoth choked himself, "THAT DAMEN KID! THE WINNER WILL BECOME THE NEW KING OF SNAILDOM... OR PREFERABLY, STILL THE KING! AND UNTIL THEN, UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVEN'T ANY POWER. THINK YOURSELVES LUCKY!"
"Good! We hate you!" Cried a old snail.
"SHUT UP, WRINKLE-FACE!" Morgoth yelled back. Soon, Morgoth was kicked out of the palace, and spent the night on the streets.
"This is brilliant!" Shouted the princess, "soon you will become the King, my love, and we can rule together!"
"There is a chance." Said Damen, "don't get your hopes too high, Sofie."
"Whatever happens, I will still be proud of you!" Damen kissed Sofie on the cheek, and thanked her for her loyalty.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door. Damen opened it, and received a note. The note read, "To the so-called new King. I hope you are happy, boy, you have ruined my royalty. I will NOT let you beat me at the competition, boy!
"That Morgoth sent me another of his hate notes. It seems he isn't familiar with good sportsmanship."
"Oh, never mind HIM! He's just a loser."
"Now, Sofie, don't be too judgemental."
The next morning, 9:55 AM...
"You are all welcome to the Snaildom King Competition!" Said the governor, in a voice full of pride, "we shall watch Morgoth V Damen in 4 thrilling tasks! Whoever wins the most, wins the rank of the King of Snaildom! First task, running a Coffee Shop. The most customers in 5 minutes, wins the task!" Damen and Morgoth both ran to the nearest Café, and and used half each.
"Hello how can I help?"
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?!"
"Can I help you, ma'am?"
"HURRY UP!"
"Anything I can do, sir?"
"DON'T WASTE MY TIME, I HAVE OTHERS TO ATTEND!" Words were being thrown round the room, and 5 minutes were soon up. The score was 5-2, the round went to Damen.
"Yes! I did it!" Damen shouted with glee.
"OH, SHUT UP!" Morgoth yelled at him.
"OK, ladies and gentlesnails, the next task is a bit more advanced. A competitos has to yell louder than the other. They have 3 tries each. First up, Damen."
Damen cleared his throat, "Ahem. Ahhhh!"
"AHHHHH!" Roared Morgoth.
"Aaaaaaah!" Shouted Damen.
"AAAAAAAAAAH!!" Yelled Morgoth.
"AHHHH!" Attempted Damen.
"AAAAAAAAH!!!" Screamed Morgoth. And Morgoth had won the task. He screech was louder than a hundred seagulls!
"Next task! The first person to climb a tree," the governor pointed to two small oak trees, "wins the task!"
The two competitors raced to their tree. Damen was specially trained in climbing trees, for he was a hunter, who'd hunt for any animal. Morgoth, on the other hand, hadn't climbed a tree in his life. As Morgoth got to the second branch, Damen was on his sixth. Morgoth pulled himself up higher, and reached his fourth branch. But then, it snapped, and Morgoth came tumbling back down.
"NOT FAIR!" Morgoth complained.
"I'm sorry, Morgoth, it isn't in the rules!" Replied the govenor.
Damen finally reached his last branch, and jumped down to thew crowd, then gave a big bow. He had won the third task.
"Now for the fourth task! The first one to kill a prisoner..." the govener struggled to let out.
The crowd gasped.
"I can't do that!" Yelled Damen, "I simply would not kill a Snail who isn't causing any harm!"
"In that case, the winner of the task is Morgoth by default. Which means there is a tie! The decider is a death match between the two competitors. They will both have a sword."
Damen and Morgoth sprinted to the death circle. They each pulled out the swords, and when the bell went, they started their battle. Damen, who had training for this, thought he had the upperhand. He lunged forward into Morgoth, and stapled him right through his arm.
"AAAAARRRGH!!" Squealed Morgoth, as blood squirted everywhere. He reached into his pocket, and pulled out a pistol. He slowly walked backwards and aimed it at Damen.
"YOU'RE TIME IS UP!" He grinned, and slowly pulled on the trigger. But, since he was so foolish, he hadn't noticed that there was a cliff right behind, and slipped down off the edge.
"NNNNOOOOOO0000000000oooooooooo!"
"Damen has won the task! He is the new King of Snaildom!"
Everybody cheered, including Damen. He couldn't wait for the coronation. He was to be the King of Snaildom!
