REUNION 2022

After what seemed like hours, I finally caught the sight of the legendary entrance of Swansory Groove. I locked my Grass Cutter 230 and stood in front of the cherrywood gate, designed to look like endless waves of patterns hugging the gate, giving no way for intruders to leave. I did not notice a few hooded figures behind me until a spear, trailing shadows, embedded itself on one of the tree trunks. “One false move, and I will eliminate you,” whispered a raspy cold voice. Since young, I had always learned the secrets of the Woodland fighting style, and after so many years of training, I finally got the chance to practise it. I spun around and landed a kick on one of the figures’ chest. The other figure fired out a nasty-looking dagger and charged towards me, violently slashing the air in front of him. I got hold of his wrist and successfully dislodged the dagger, but his second teammate came charging towards me with the same spear. Luckily, I managed to defeat both the figures, and soon the rest. The fight was over. I pushed open the cherrywood gate and stepped in, determined to find the Groove Warrior, and save the Forest. - Tan Hong Yu, Y6 CFD - 120 Students' Work - English
