The Mighty Beast's Downfall
A football final. An ancient beast awakened. And one boy armed with nothing but courage.
Written entirely by Levon Hovhannisyan, age 9.
The Story
Jack thought the hardest battle he'd ever fight was the Champions League final.
He was wrong.
When Jack's Lions defeat Minotaur FC in a nail-biting finale, a rivalry simmered for thirteen years finally cracks. But beneath the earth, something ancient stirs — a beast awakened by the breaking of a bitter oath it recognises as a threat.
Now Jack must face a monster that has slept a thousand years, armed with nothing but courage, a captain's instincts, and one unexpected ally: the boy who started it all.
