Sorry it took like 7 years, but here is the final chapter. Also, I dnt know how to format the pictures to get them the right size. I tried but couldn't figure out how to upload them once I had changed them. These are the pictures direcctly from the sites I got them at:

As the Knight and the Ranger approached the forest, they came upon the final valley they had to cross and the Knight hesitated. This was the battlefield in the vision that Pinocchio had given him. He began searching the skies and land for any signs of the warriors that were to fight. All of a sudden a dragon roared overhead, with a strange green creature on top. The knight had no idea what this creature was, but only one word popped into his head; Shrek. He had no idea what a Shrek was, but somehow he knew that if such a thing existed, this must surely be it. The dragon headed to the East and joined the witch in the air, the witch herself hovering on her broomstick. Below them was an army of mass proportion. Being led by the Duke on a giant lizard, the Knight saw many mythical creatures in the army, some of which he didn’t even know the name of.

Image

Then the Ranger pointed across the valley to the West where the Knight saw the King, and with him his own army of Knights and warriors with Popeye and three smaller-than-average sized pigs leading it. The Knight and Ranger hurried to join them. The King greeted them with horses decked out in armour ready for battle.

“What about my motorbike?” asked the Knight.

“And where is my hang glider?” added the Ranger.

“Don`t be silly,” said the King. “Those things haven`t been invented yet.”

Disappointed as they were, they prepared for battle. The plan was simple; the King, Popeye and the smaller-than-average pigs would lead the army into battle against the creatures in the Duke’s army, while the Knight and Ranger would head into the forest to where the hags lived where they would attempt the rescue of Galadriel. As the armies clashed with a ferocity that shook the entire Kingdom of Midgard, the Knight and Ranger slipped off in the confusion and headed into the forest.

As they neared they’re destination, an awful stench reached their nostrils. Soon the source of the smell was found however. The hags lay dead, sprawled across a small clearing, and in the center of the clearing was Anna, sitting on top of a large, pink elephant, the princess` limp body on the back of the elephant.

“You are too late” declared Anna as she took off through the forest. The Knight and Ranger followed her back through the forest and were led back out onto the battlefield. With the battle still in full swing, utter chaos was the general consensus in the valley.
As Anna was retreating towards he father, the Knight, out of the corner of his eye, saw Popeye fling one of the smaller-than-average pigs at her and pick her off with such accuracy that the Knight could not help but be impressed. The Duke, having seen this, steered his lizard over to where Anna lay on the ground, out cold but still alive. As the lizard reared back to attack the Knight, the Ranger loosed an arrow into the weaker scales on the bottom of its neck. The lizard dropped to the ground, dead, and the Duke dove off at the Knight, knocking him off is horse. Drawing his sword, the Knight parried a blow from the Duke, and struck back with his own. The Duke blocked this, but was knocked off balance. The Knight saw his chance and attacked again with all his might.

Bringing the sword down into the Dukes chest, the Knight heard a hiss of steam as the Duke died, then heard all kinds of howling and screaming. Turning, he saw all the creatures of the Dukes army turning to flee.

As the Kings troops roared in victory, the Knight and Ranger turned to finish off Anna, only to see her mother swoop down and scoop her up, promising that she would one day exact her revenge on the forces of good.

The pink elephant had also run, but not before the three smaller-than-average pigs had jumped up and rescued the princess from its back. As they began to walk over to her, the Shrek jumped down from the dragons back and was about to attack when a female Shrek (Fiona, the Knight decided in his head) emerged from the forest and started yelling at him in a foreign language. With his head hung low, Shrek boarded the dragon once again with Fiona and they took off into the distance, with Fiona’s irate voice echoing back until they were out of sight.

Image

Days later, in the chapel of Mogul, the Knight and princess were married and settled down to a nice life in peace, but the Knights eyes were always on the horizon, searching for the Witch of the East, ready for whenever she came to do good on her promise.

The End

Thanks! I don't mind you using a few more words for the final chapter. ;)

I edited your images and posted it all in the story, which is now complete.

There are two guys that still need to provide images. I'll send them a PM. We should be able to vote soon for the "best" chapter!

Re: CYOT: Damsel in Distress [Voting]

Voting for the "Best" Chapter.

As you probably know, there is a General Achievement Medal up for grabs for whoever wrote the "Best" Chapter of our Damsel in Distress story, which will be decided by voting.

Since many entries do not comply with the requirements in the 1st post (no images provided or not provided in the proper format, too little, too much text, etc.) I decided to come up with a system where the entries that did comply with the requirements already get votes:


  • If you wrote a chapter you already get 1 vote.
  • If you wrote a chapter and provided one or more images you already get 2 votes.
  • If your entry complies completely with the requirements you already get 3 votes.

This way the people who follow the rules get recognized, but everybody gets to enter in the vote. This also means that when you vote for the "best" chapter, you don't need to look at the entry following the rules or not, you can simply judge every chapter on other merits, such as:

  • Originality and imagination
  • How it is written
  • How it fits in with the rest of the story
  • How it is connected to the map and setting chosen by the writer

Reading the whole story, I also realize that it is not easy to choose merely one chapter. So, you can vote for 2 chapters. Your first choice gets 2 votes, your second choice gets 1 vote. If you decide to vote for only one chapter it will count as 1 vote.

Since I am in the tournament myself, [player]amazzony[/player] will collect the votes by PM. Please send her a PM with the subject:
Damsel Votes. Votes posted in this thread will NOT count! The voting will be anonymous.

You cannot vote for your own chapter. Nor for chapter 8 by bkwill and chapter 24 by colton24.

Trying to get others to vote for your chapter will result in disqualification of this "best" chapter contest.

It takes a while to read the whole story a few times, so voting will be open until midnight of May 31.

What if you were just over or under the text requirement, but were told upon submitting your entry that it was fine?

Good question: Then it wouldn't have been taken into account. Too much or too little text on it's own was not a deciding factor anyway.
