Cory POV

It had been 3 weeks since school started up again, and guess what? No Chad. We didn't have to live in fear anymore thanks to the Swashbucklers!

And for some reason, Simon had told me to meet at the trash dump we first larped at together.

I was on my way their now.

I walked on the cold dirt path. My legs burnt like hell, but then again, gym was extra long today, so it makes sense. The trees loomed over my head, sunlight shinning through them, creating a sort of magical effect around me and on the path.

I smiled at the amazing scenery, unbeknownst to me that I had just past the junk yard.

"Cory!" I heard Toby's goofy voice yell, snapping me out of my thoughts.
Realizing that I had walked past our usual spot, I ran over to them.

I looked up at Simon who was standing in the middle of Gertrude and Toby. He was in his normal clothes but with a sword sheath and excalibur inside of it. Gertrude, (who was standing on Simons left) was wearing her natural clothes, but with her giant stick in her hand and an old blanket draped over her head. And of course Toby, (who was on Simon's right) had his cardboard crown on, eating hamburgers like nobody's business.

Simon looked down at me, his gaze stern. "Dragon Slayer!" His voice boomed. I held back a laugh because of his unnaturally pitched voice, yelling orders at people.

"Come forth!" I obeyed and knelt on the ground as a knight would. Suddenly, the junk yard turned into a royal palace, it's velvety carpet and white walls glistening before me.

Tank's cardboard crown suddenly became gold, Simons clothes turned into shiny gold armor, and Gertrude's blanket turned into a silky black cloak, as well as her wand.

And as for me, I wore average silver armor, which was covered in scratches and dents, showing I was in a battle. A helmet was placed on the ground next to me and my velvet colored sheath was on my side.
And finally, my sword was clutched in my hand, still bloody from the dragons battle.

"What is it Knight Simon and King Hamburger? Is the kingdom in danger?" I asked inquisitively, knight voice activated.

"Stand up young knight," King Hamburger said calmly. At his orders, I stood up, back straight in his presence.

"We have recently seen you destroy the dragon that has been tormenting our kingdom for so long," King Hamburger began. "And when I had watched you defeat the dragon from my raven's eyes," Gertrude continued, wanting me to hear more. "We had decided to ask of you," Simon finished.
"To become the official Dragon Slayer of our kingdom!" They all said in unison.

It was strangely well coordinated, did they practice this or something?

I pretended to act shocked, then bowed. "I'd be honored."

As if on cue, Knight Simon walked down gracefully from the pedestal that he stood upon just moments before.

After I knelt down, Simon took Excalibur and hit my shoulders gently with it.

"I, Knight Simon, wielder of Excalibur, Make you, Knight Cory, official Dragon Slayer of Burger Kingdom!"

He pulled away from me and I stood up, my armor suddenly changing to gold like Simon's.

I swear I could hear cheers all around me, making me smile. I knew it was my imagination, but this was Larping! We can do anything in our little world.

Suddenly, Gertrude fell to the ground, gasping dramatically. "LADY GERTRUDE!" Simon cried, running to her aid. I followed him, concerned for the small Mage.

I imagined her eyes turning dark and looking like the Galaxy itself. She floated in the air, our gazes locked on hers. Suddenly, she gasped awake, her eyes normal color.

"Do you think it's-" "Another prophecy." Simon finished Toby's sentence, his eyes dark.

Suddenly, Gertrude spoke. "The prophecy! It says that the dragon will rise from the dead, and destroy our kingdom!" Gasps ran across the group, then Gertrude shushed us.

"Even the Dragon Slayer can't stop it!" She paused. "Hold on... Wait... You think so?... oh my god... Another one? (Insert meme here) Welp..."

She turned back to us, her eyes hopeful again. "Ok, so the Universe just told me that the dragon slayer indeed can't defeat the dragon, at least... Not alone." Toby gasped, hamburger crumbs coming out of his mouth.

"You don't mean-" "Yes King Hamburger," she said darkly. "The time for the Dragon Slayer Apprentice has come."

My eyes widened.

"A Dragon Slayer Apprentice?" I whispered, mostly to myself. "How will we find them?" Gertrude stopped, as if getting another message from the universe.

"Well, the universe says you will have to find a male knight, with the ability to stop the dragons flames." I thought for a moment, wondering why they had to be male, but I nodded my head anyways.

"I'm off," I said, picking up my supplies, that appeared out of nowhere.

"Be careful dragon slayer!" Gertrude called out. "It will be a rough and dangerous path! You will have to travel through the Drama, Dancer, and Emo kingdom, to find the Dragon Slayer Apprentice!"

I nodded my head and ran out of the castle.

Coming back to reality, I hid behind the bush until the cost was clear from Simon that the Larp was over. Walking out of the bushes, we all just stared at each other, non of us moving.

Without warning, we burst into laughter. I don't know why, but I had just felt like laughing.

After we calmed down a bit, Simon had suggested we go to the Swashbucklers headquarters, which I was fine with.

"I'm down," I said calmly, putting my hands in my pockets.

"I agree with Cory!" Toby said excitedly.

"I'll do anything for you,Simon," Gertrude said dreamily, making Simon blush a little.

"Then let's go!"

Soon enough we ran towards our lair, unbeknownst to us that soon...

The prophecy would come true...
