Dragon Challenge-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
It was the perfect summer morning. The grass sparkled with dew, the wind blew soft and sweet, and the sun had just began to rise. Even though I was deep in my slumber, enjoying my sweet dreams, I had a feeling this day would be different. I then heard a rumbling. I peeped open one eye, nothing there, I thought to myself, “It’s just thunder, go back to sleep.” But it wasn’t just thunder, the noise seemed to be getting louder and louder, coming closer every second. I figured the walls were about to cave in. Tucking my shaking body underneath the comforter, I prepared myself for the worst. The screaming came next, followed by what seemed to be several heavy footsteps, then the door opened and within second I was drowning. Soon, they came running …show more content…
The crowd was unusually light, so we were able to ride every ride. My favorite was the Dragon Challenge. Two totally different roller coasters, with cars shaped like dragons, racing to the end. One blue flipping and twirling at every possible moment, and one red zooming and zipping around every turn. During lunch, we ventured to Diagon Ally, the newest addition to the park, where we dined at the Leaky Cauldron for lunch. I devoured the fish and chips fast enough to grab a frozen butter beer on the way to our next stop, the Mummy. This was a ride like no other. We flew backwards, forwards, to the left, to the right, in every diffraction. Along with the crazy direction changes, there were even more surprises such as the ceiling being engulfed in flames, on purpose of course. It was a great day at the park. On our way back to our beach house we stopped for vegan cupcakes. I was very excited, as I am somewhat of a health freak. I ordered my favorite flavor, red velvet. After stuffing the entire cupcake into my mouth, I immediately wanted to spit it out. The cupcake was awful! It was as if they had forgotten to put sugar in it. My friends agreed that we had chosen the wrong place for dessert. But good dessert or not, I was glad to have spent the best day of my life with the people who matter most to

    What was your favorite overall activity? Why? My favorite activity was the sky coaster, even though I didn’t go all the way to the top, because I am scared of heights so it helped me with my fears and because it was so much fun when I got to drop and then swing from the cords that were holding me up. 2.…

    Deep in the heart of the Icewarden's domain, frozen in place for an unknowable number of years, motionless, a dragon suddenly stirred at the approach of another. Eyes, having not seen for years, begin to crack open; scales, fused together by the unforgiving cold of ice, begin to shift; bones, immobile for so long begin to creak. The frozen dragon slowly, meticulously, raises its (previously bowed) head, bleary eyes settling on the first dragon to pass it by for what may have been centuries. The approaching dragon, now visibly a male guardian, freezes in his place, a few yards from the other - he is frightened, having not expected a dragon he'd presumed dead to move. The frozen dragon only continues to stare, pupils slimming and dilating, presumably attempting to see more clearly what stood before it.…

    Summer was drawing to a close, and I found myself at my friend Max’s house. Max was having us over to host my friend circle’s weekly Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) event. An ulterior motive, however, did (relatively) exist: Max was having us move some miscellaneous furniture around the house. Nothing too burdensome of course; just a sofa, a pool table, a shelf, and an armchair. After we finished, there was D&D to be played.…

    I ordered the Motel Lava cake, and it was only seven dollars with tax. When it came out to the table, it was a rich dark chocolate with creamy fudge center, warm with vanilla bean ice cream. Once you took one bite the moist chocolate melts in my mouth, sticky with fudge frosting on my tongue. The bitter and simultaneously sweet smell of it puts me in a serene mind state. I smack my lips together.…
