The Camp

In times gone by, in Turkistan, there was a weak but brave warrior, Tiang-Da-Hua. But people used to call him Ahmed-bin-Hua, as they were Muslims.
One day, Ahmed’s friend, Hatawa called him to his house. “We have a mission,” Hatawa said. “We along with some other men have to go and destroy a dangerous enemy who has troubled us for years”.
To this Ahmad replied “Even though I am not strong enough, I will still come with you.”.
They accordingly proceeded on the mission.
Since this is your third day at camp, let me give you a tour around. Hatawa said.
The Magic Potions
“Let’s go to the Magic Potion Brewer, first”, said Hatawa. They walked until they reached a small, crowded shop. “This is it!” he whispered. They entered the shop, and when they got the potions, they went back home. When they finally reached, Hatawa showed Ahmed a potion. “This potion makes you invisible”, Hatawa said. “And this potion makes you speedy, And this potion….”
After explaining all about the potion, Ahmed reminded him that tomorrow is the day of the battle!! Hatawa replied “Ok we should get ready quickly”.
The Travels
The next day, they all woke up early for the battle. “I forgot to tell you, that it will take us a month to reach our enemy”, Hatawa said, “but I’m still ready”, replied Ahmad.
When they were all ready, they started their journey through the woods. “Hey!” shouted Hatawa, “What is that?” They saw a slimy crawler. “Stand back!” ordered one of the men in the group and he sliced the creature using his sword.
“The next destination is the mountain, so let’s take some rest and restart the journey tomorrow,” said Hatawa.
Over the Mountains
The next morning they all woke up and got ready to continue their expedition. “Wait!” Ahmed shouted “We need some breakfast”.
“Look at those berries” said Bilal, the commander of the Army. After they finished the berries, they set off again. After walking for a few hours they saw a sword embedded in a stone. “Let’s all take turns to pull out the sword”, Bilal said. The sword was magical and only the worthy could take it out.
Who is Worthy?
Bilal was the first to attempt. He pulled and pulled, but nothing happened. Next it was Hatawa’s turn. But in vain, until it was Ahmed’s turn. Calmly and gently he pulled it and the sword came out.
The others were shocked, but Ahmed said, “Not everything needs strength. Some things need gentleness and patience to get things done”.
Everybody nodded and then Bilal said that we have a few more days to reach, so let’s take some rest here.
Noooo!
As they were walking through the woods, they saw a little box. “What is a box doing here in the middle of nowhere?” asked Bilal.
He opened it and a giant portal sucked them all in different dimensions. Everybody was in the same dimension except Ahmed. He was lost in a muddy swamp. Opposite to him was an enormous castle. “Well here it goes …”, he said, ” I’m scared but nothing can stop me.”
Here we go…
Ahmed started exploring the swamp before entering the castle, “What is that! He cried. “YOU…” spoke the strange person. “YOU WILL DIE AT OUR MASTER’S HAND’S…” and he disappeared “I’m not so sure… he muttered.
He finally entered the castle and cried, you are not strong enough to defeat me! Send as many of your minions as you want, YOU STILL WON’T DEFEAT ME!
The Final Battle
Suddenly, a huge person, with a thing like a hijab appeared and shot a giant energy ball at Ahmed. Ahmed dodged it and tried to counter it. But he fell flat and muttered “I can’t defeat him! He’s too strong!”
But suddenly he remembered what he had said at the start of the journey. He got up and using his clear brain and speed, he managed to slice all the health generators.
The enemy started to retreat, but before he could run away, Ahmad sliced him into two. He exploded and everything and around him too…even the land.
Back Home!
He ran as fast as he could, only to see the land disappear. He had no other choice, but to jump. He jumped and started falling into the space. While falling into the space, he realized that he will die in the void. He made a circle using his sword and said, ‘Oh magical sword! Please make me a portal!!’
A portal appeared and Ahmad, the weak but courageous, warrior also called Tiang-Da-Hua got sucked into it. He shook up only to find himself on a throne.
“You are our king. Now enjoy” exclaimed Bilal.
