The Prince of Persia
By Nazario
This story took place in Asia in Ancient Greece times. The Prince of Persia was a prince that protected his brother, the king. He was wearing gold and leather armor, and he had black hair. He was taking a long walk down his temple, his brother’s castle made out of gold, to see if there was any trouble, but one day the king’s soldiers had ran through the gates, locked and barricaded them.
Persia’s king was curious, “What is going on?” the guards told him what is happening, “Sire, the Greeks are planning to attack the royal temple.” the king gave the guards an order, “Get my army ready for battle”, but they were too late.
Later that day, the Prince immediately heard the screams of war, he came face to face with some of the soldiers and killed all 20 soldiers. “This is starting to get worse and worse,” said the prince, and he had to escape the temple. The Persian prince had to travel far away from the temple and sat near the coast of a Persian city.
On the coast of the Persian city, The Prince was thinking what to do, and then he had an idea,” I got it!” he came up with a plan, “This is the plan: to infiltrate the Greek camp and know their plans.” He knew it is risky but was the only way. The Prince had traveled from Persia to Greece he had traveled far but he had found the camp.
On that very night, the young prince had infiltrated the Greek camp, he felt uneasy about himself,” I can’t believe I’m doing this.” He smelled a feast with all the soldiers, and it sounded like the dead of night, the ground felt solid as a sapphire. “Man, I am thirsty.” The Prince had found water and drank it. He found an opening to a tent and there were soldiers with their leader, Agamemnon. They were talking about their plan: to franticly steal all of Persia’s riches. The Prince now knew the Greeks were trying to take control of his brother’s leadership. He ran back to Persia to get to his temple and kill the guards who were stealing the temple’s wealth.
Persia’s final prince was their last hope to stop the never-ending war. The Prince knew had to kill the leader who was causing the war, Agamemnon, the second version of Ares, the God of War, “Ahh, Persia’s last prince, your temple is mine!!!!
The Prince had first killed Agamemnon’s entire Greek army with his mysterious power. The Prince was about to kill the Greek leader, he ran towards Agamemnon and clashed their swords.” You will never take Persia’s wealth!” The prince said. “Let’s see about that...” Agamemnon threw the prince across the main hall, and the Prince knew he was no match against Agamemnon. The prince thought it was over but then he remembered that his brother taught to believe in himself, then he got furious.
“You are finished,” Agamemnon said happily. “Nooooo!!!”, so, the Prince kicked Agamemnon's sword out of his hand, “WHAAAAT???!!” The Greek leader was distracted, and the Prince stabbed Agamemnon and killed him. He knew he saved all of Persia from sudden catastrophe. Later that year, all of Persia’s citizens were wanting to make the prince become king after that the Prince became the king of Persia.
