A Cloak of Kon

By Howie Lloyd Allen

This story begins in an evil war for world peace. There was an evil swords man named Kon. There was an evil black cloak that when worn made whoever wore it disappeared and were sent to his evil world. In this evil world men were destroyed by evil powers and the only way back is to get rid of the evil cloak. The more a person puts the cloak on the harder and the more danger they would be in. The evil cloak was made by accident. It was made for safety by a wizard named Hazzel. It was made by using magic on a pitch black robe which was originally was only worn in battle. The spell was supposed to give the one who wore it power to win the war but, if in danger by putting the hood up would send whoever wore it to a safe place for protection from all evil powers. The battles were long and the cloak showed who the leader was but, that was until a spell went wrong. The spell was not finished and instead of safety the spell changed the cloak into an evil curse.
The war began and the horses ran through the streets. The evil Kon wanted the cloak as he was from the dimension of where the humans who wore it would be sent. The cloak was usually carried or tied onto a flag. Kon won that war and stole the cloak.
Many generations’ later two brother hobbits were walking. Their names were Lukas and Martian. They lived by a black cave. They usually would walk through it and hide there to startle each other. These brothers wore a bright red cloak with a hood at the back.
“Lukas help!!! There is a monster in the cave coming towards me help he has sharp dagger like teeth.”
I am coming!!! Lukas draws his sword runs into the cave ahhhhh charge!!! Where’s the monster Martian? I do not know why I fall for stupid things like this. You little rascal one of these days I will get you back!!!
Martian was a prankster and was much better at pulling them then Lukas. Lukas loved his little brother and he was always scared something would happen to him.
The cave they were in was dark it had been many years since the war. The cave they were in was creepy. Spider webs and sticky rocks and puddles throughout the cave.
The two brothers walked until they saw a weird looking entry to another part of the cave. Lying on the ground was a dark hooded cloak Martian put it on and disappeared. He went to another dimension. He saw dark knights with hooded black capes that saw him and went after him. He ran hard to get away his heart was pounding he screamed for Lukas but he was no where in sight. Scared terrified all of a sudden he heard this screeching noise of a black dragon, he fell to the ground holding his hands to his ears doing anything just to stop the screaming sound of the dragon. He ran into a cave and hid then he saw Kon. Martian knew of the legends and thought they were just children stories to scare but he was wrong dead wrong he ran away as Kon chased him with sword in hand.
You have something that does not belong to you; he hissed you have the black cloak of the dimension soon you shall be stuck here and never to return. He began to sweat he took off the cloak and ended back in the cave with his brother.
Martin was huffing and puffing out of breath and all of a sudden he saw a knight wearing Kon’s armor he ran out screaming ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! The man in the armor was his brother he smiled and said to himself told you I get you back.
In the house crying and still shaken from the cloak in his room was little Martin. His brother took the armor off and went home. When he got home his mother turned and asked what was wrong with Martin. He was in his room crying something about Kon. Oh by the way could you hang this black robe up? Your brother brought it home with him.
The legend has it that once the robe is put on the evil battle would begin all over the battle for world peace the battle between darkness and light.
It was night and the cloak began to glow then a voice from the robe said you will never escape Kon. Martian went down stairs to see the robe. The light of the robe caught his eye and he began to walk closer and closer he went to grab it when his brother Lukas began to come down the stairs he jumped grabbed the cloak and yelled at his brother telling him to go to his room there is something about this cloak that is not safe!!!
When morning came there was an earth quake the ground shook rocks split from the cracks and out of the split ground came Kon and his army. The two brothers knew that the legends were now true they must run to the wizard Hazzel and give him the cloak. The journey would be long but it had to be done. They packed some food and ran out the door into the dark woods.
As they journeyed the long journey to the castle to meet Hazzel the wizard they knew this was not going to be an easy journey. Kon and his army were released from their dimension. And Martian knew it was his fault. He did not know that the cloak on the ground was evil at the time it was just an ordinary black cloak he thought. Now some how he has to take it to a wizard and hopefully put and end to Kon and his army before they destroy our world and turn it into a world like there own.
Martian and Lukas were off through the woods on their journey. Lukas loved his brother they talked and walked together to be rid of the cursed cloak. Martian decided his prank days were over. He was young and scared with his hand tightly holding his older brothers hand. Afraid of the hell that may be ahead as Kon had been released and Martian had the urge to grab the cloak from his older brother and put it on. That is part of the curse because he knows the evil of the cloak and it is hard not to put it on after its small taste of the cool but very scary world.
Lukas every night would have to guard the cloak for two reasons one so Kon’s army could not get the cloak and two to stop his younger foolish brother from putting it back on.
They continued to walk when they both grew tired and fell asleep in a meadow. They slept to the sound of the birds and the whistling of the crickets. They slept for a long time when Lukas felt a wet nose pushing against his face. When he opened his eyes he saw five beautiful unicorns. Their hair was long and they had wings the two brothers jumped on the back of one of the unicorns and flew off.
They were flying peacefully until they heard this loud screeching noise. They covered their ears and the unicorn and they fell to the ground. The dragon flew with Kon on its back and the dragon blew fire burning everything in sight. Kon drew his sword and the unicorn charged Kon went to stab the unicorn but the horn of the unicorn pierced the dragon’s side and the dragon fell crashing to the earth. With the dragons last breath the unicorn was set on fire and Kon killed the unicorn with one slice of the sword.
Kon was about to go after Martian when Lukas grabbed Martian and took his sword and took an angry and hard swing at Kon. Kon was not about to leave without the black cloak. He went to grab it when all of a sudden Hazzel the Wizard appeared he grabbed the two hobbits and in a flash they were out of harms way and ended up in a castle.
The wizard turned to the boys and asked “who released the evil army of Kon? As the legend has it there will have to be a war. There must be a war for my evil mistake on that black cloak. I should have killed Kon and not tried to cast the power spell on the cloak, but it is a little late now. I guess there will have to be so they went to see the king.
We are going to need an army to beat this one. I really don’t think we stand a chance. Kon and his army have a curse spell that if they die as soon as someone puts the cloak on we start all over.”
The Wizard Hazzel grabbed the black cloak and led the boys to the throne room. The king was sitting very quiet. When he saw Hazzel he let him and the two boys enter. Then Hazzel said “Sorry to disturb you king but Kon has been released as the black cloak was discovered in a dark cave. We are back in the war which we were many centuries before like the one when you were only a child. We need an army and we know as long as the cloak stays in our hands we have victory. I need to finish the spell but if Kon gets the cloak we will never win unless we get it back”
Then they heard people screaming and dying by the sword of Kon and his army. The king knew the war had begun. The king’s army got their best armor on and prepared for battle. Hazzel grabbed the cloak and took it into a high room to finish the spell. He opened the magic book and began to chant. The cloak began to glow when all of a sudden kon took his sword and Hazzel grabbed his scepter and they fought. Lukas ran into the room and after Kon and grabbed the cloak and almost ran out the door when Kon was about to kill Hazzel but, Lukas ran straight at Kon pushed him out the window. Kon fell crashing to the ground but managed to grab the cloak.
The dark army had the cloak and the war had just gotten a lot worse. Now the unfinished spell would have made the dark cloak even more evil as it was now in the hands of Kon.
In the hands of Kon the black cloak laid. Lukas held his brother close tight in his arms. His brother martin began to cry as he felt this war was his fault. Martin was afraid that the war maybe over and the world destroyed all because of him because he stole the cloak and put it on. All Martin could think about was how guilty he was.
Lukas knew if one legend were true then maybe the legend of a dragon that only helps when the heart is in the right motive maybe true also. Lukas turned to his brother and said “Martin come with me were going to end this war. We can not kill Kon on our own we are going back to the cave where this mess all started.”
The two brothers grabbed a torch and headed home where the dark cave was.
As they entered the cave they saw two main doors one was Kon’s and the other was for the dragon. Lukas knocked on the dragon’s door. Then they heard a voice say “who needs my loving power. Only true love may receive it. I will not destroy enemies out of hate please speak so I may judge.
As the two boys explained their problem and Lukas told of how much he loved his brother the door opened. The dragon showed the two brothers red armor and two swords that when a person with a strong loving heart would easily cut through anything. It was powered by the love of the person who used it. If an evil person like Kon grabbed it would get so heavy that he would not be able to swing it.
They jumped on the dragon’s back and flew into battle. The dark army charged after them on their dragons but Lukas and Martin’s dragon blew fire that the army could not beat. The army was set a blaze and was defeated. Kon came after them and the dragon let Lukas down and flew Martin to safety. Lukas and Kon stared into each others eyes. Lukas drew his sword and so did Kon.
Their swords collided and martin jumped off the dragon and. Kon was about to kill him when Lukas jumped in front and took the death. Martin grabbed his brother and he ran carrying him to Hazzel.
Hazzel looked at him and did not shed a tear. He looked at Martin and with a smile said because he died out of love he will rise again to save you. Confused little Martin did not understand by sunrise the body was missing.
Martin was about to run after Kon and probably be killed when he heard sword fighting in the far distance when he got to see what had happened Lukas defeated Kon and the black robe turned white and all evil was now finished.
The dragon became their friend and protector. The two hobbits love was true and they all lived a very long time the end
