Witch Hunters
Once
upon a time, in the XV century, there were two brothers who went from
one village to another to kill evil witches and save the local
population.
Their
names were Augustus and Adam Blackwell and they started being witch
hunters when a cruel and powerfull witch burn their house and killed
their parents when they were kids.
Augustus,
the oldest one, was 23 years old and he was tall and muscled with
bronze-colored curly hair and green eyes. Instead the youngest, Adam,
was short and thin, less muscled than his brother, with short dark
hair and brown eyes.
He
was only 18 years old but he had faced things that even a grown man
can't imagine.
One
day they went in a small village called Axams because the population
was threatened by a group of witches that kidnapped and killed
children for their sabbath.
When
they arrived there the mayor explained them the situation, then they
immediately went into the wood near the village to find the witches'
hiding place.
They
walked through the wood for the whole day but they couldn't find
anything so they decided to stop because the sun was about to set.
Suddenly,
in the middle of the night, while they were sleeping under a tree,
they heard a noise behind a bush.
Augustus
got up to see what that noise was, then he saw a witch right in front
of him; she was a tall and thin woman with long dark hair and red
eyes, moreover her skin was green and wrinkled.
Augustus
took his sward and started fighting with her but she was too strong,
so he screamed to call his brother Adam who came to help him.
The
witch, called Tessa, hit Adam with a spell and the guy fell to the
ground because he got wounded in the leg.
Augustus
ran to his brother and helped him, while the witch ran away because
the sun was about to rise and the sunlight kills witches.
Adam's
wound wasn't very serious so he stood up and followed Tessa with
Augustus to kill her.
They
followed her until they came to an old high tower in the middle of a
clearing.
Adam
and Augustus climbed on top of the tower and entered from a small
window.
Then
they saw all the children of Axams in a cage supervised by Tessa and
two other witches, the three evil women were preparing a potion to
kill those children in their sabbath.
Tessa
noticed the witch hunters and she ordered the other witches to kill
them, the first witch attacked Augustus but he took his sward out of
his scabbard and killed her.
The
second one ran to Adam and tried to hit him with a spell but he
grabbed his arc and hit the witch with an arrow.
Tessa
saw that her two accomplices were dead so she tried to escape because
she was afraid of the brothers, but they stopped her and hit her in
her chest with the sward.
They
thought she was dead but she was still alive; she cast a spell to
kill Augustus but Adam saw that and pushed him away, then he ran to
Tessa and stuck a dagger in her heart.
All
the evil witches were finally dead so Adam and Augustus released the
children and brought them back to their parents in the village.
The
inhabitants of Axams were so grateful to the brothers so they gave
them a reward for having helped them; the next day Adam and Augustus
left the village to go on new adventures but Axams will never forget
those two brave witch hunters who released the village from the evil
Tessa.

IT
DIDN’T WORK BUT…
Once
upon a time, during the first century B.C., there was the Latin Man,
an evil man who subjected the world population to his power. He was
really cruel with people and with animals, in fact he liked spitting
on them.
He lived in
Cemmo of Capo di Ponte, a little village near Civitas Cammunorum and
he was a roman emperor.
He was Julio Caesar’s son and he
looked like a ghost, with a pearl grey skin. He used to wear a big
gold chain with the symbol of the dollar at its end. He also would
wore a football cap and a dalmatian fur, a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses
and red high heels shoes. His castle was called “Zitti House”.
The Nuns who lived there were the maids of the Latin Man and Bexy
Silvy was his wife. Besides, the Latin Man had two ferrets called
Antonio Banderas and Pietro Bubu, which he used to kill people when
they were doomed to “damnatio ad furettum”.
One day
two great friends came to Cemmo from Bethlehem; their names were
Marcus and Trippy. Marcus was thin and very tall and he had black
glasses with little round lenses. He had moustache like Captain Hook
, he was intelligent and he loved reading the Divine Commedy and the
Promised Mice. Trippy was a fat and short man, with orange moustache
like those of Adolf Hitler. When they were together they were really
funny and a little bit stupid.
When
they arrived, they heard the people of Capo di Ponte complaining
about the Latin Man: a man screamed: “He stole all my money”; a
woman said in her tears: “He took away my children to turn them
into gladiators”.
Marcus
and Trippy were really sorry for those poor people and they decided
to call their magic friends to help them. Trippy took out from his
pocket his Iphone 6 plus and he did some calls while Marcus was
revising the Latin grammar on his “New Expedite Plus”.
The
heroes who Trippy had called couldn’t come at once because they
were very busy and they said that they would have arrived later.
In the meantime they went to the Latin Man. “Stop being
rude with your people!” said Marcus, “You must love them!”
added Trippy, but the Latin Man didn’t listen to them and sent them
away.
Thereupon
Cinderella came to Zitti House and she hit the bad man with her
crystal shoe, but he didn’t give up.
Then, also Otto from Rapunzel came and threw his
biscuits onto the Latin Man’s head. But the cruel man answered:
“Ego barcollus sed non mollum”.
Just after that, Heidi arrived singing the
Jodel and behind her came also Pota Pig screaming “Habemus
Potaaa!!”.
All this bustle
caused the Sisters’ revolt and Sister Daniela with Sister Elvira
tried to exorcize the Latin Man with their crucifixes, but it didn’t
work. At the end
the Beauty and the Beast came and, using their love, moved the Latin
Man so deeply that he repented and became a good emperor.
The moral of the story is that everything can be solved
with love and kindness, however Latin is still a dead language.
