CONTENT WARNING: READER, PROCEED WITH CAUTION The following story is scary and suspenseful. It is not recommended for readers under ten or sensitive readers of any age.

There once was a husky named Max, and Max was a sled dog. He had an owner named Conrad and an enemy named Conteeno. He competed in competitions all over the world. But in the race of the century, he had never gotten to the finish line . . . Max was dead . . . he died because Conteeno made a weak spot in the ice and made Max’s sled fall. His owner died along with him. Another thing that he knew was that Conteeno had gotten off free with no punishment; he also knew everybody on the sled had died too, so Max naturally wanted revenge! But first, he needed everybody on the sled to help him, so he started his journey through the underworld to find Fluffy, James, Frisco, Sam, Oggy, Rhubarb, Rosie, and Arrow. He set off on his journey. He found Oggy almost immediately, followed by Jams and Frisco, and soon after Fluffy, and finally Sam, Rhubarb, Rosie, and last but not least was Arrow. They all agreed that they needed revenge on Conteeno. Just as they were planning, someone said, “I think you will need a leader.”

They all spun around ready for a fight and sure enough, there was Conrad looking as good as ever (except the fact that he had a cut on his face.) But he was OK because he was already dead. Every dog plus Conrad decided that the best way to get revenge was to trick Conteeno but not hurt him because then he would be near them. WHICHTHEYDIDNOTWANT!! So they started their plan.

Their first act of trickery was to make his sled go off course, so he would lose. But when they tried, they accidentally saw that he had his extra prosthetic hand in his bag (which they had no idea that he had). Just as they were planning the next act of trickery, an idea slipped into Max’s head; the idea being to make Conteeno immortal. Then, they could do every act of trickery they could think of, and he would never accidentally die so forth without ever being near them in the underworld! When he told the others about the idea, it soon became a plan.

But then Sam said, “How will we make Conteeno immortal?”

Arrow then said, “We could try to get Hades’s crown, the helm of darkness.”

But then Frisco said, “How will we get to the helm of darkness?”

“I don’t know,” said Arrow.

But then Conrad said, “I know. We first sneak into Hades’s Lair. Then, we take the helm.”

So they started their plan and snuck into Hades’s Lair, but then they ran into a problem: they had to steal the helm off of Hades’s head, and that was not going to work. Then, Arrow and Sam said, “How about we light fire to the dungeons?”

So Conrad got out a pack of matches and said, “I’ll light the dungeons, and you get the helm.”

The dogs agreed to the plan. As soon as Conrad lit the dungeons, Hades yelled and ran to put out the fire. As he rushed past, Fluffy took the helm off of Hades’s head without him even noticing, so the dogs now had the helm, and now all they had to do is save Conrad from the crazy, immortal god of Death. They came up with a plan that just might work. Their plan was to light yet another match and light his throne on fire, but just as they were hidden again, Hades burst up the stairs. Conrad ran to the dogs. When he reached them, he said, “We should get out of here!” They ran out of Hades’s lair unharmed. They had successfully stolen the helm, so they made Conteeno immortal and tricked him eternally.

The End!
