The Chariot-racing Champion
Xander lived in the revered, majestic city of Athens. Athletics Day had arrived and he knew he would have to demonstrate his strengths to the masters. In Greece, all boys’ athletic training began when they were young, but Xander had never been interested. Unlike the other lads, he preferred to spend time caring for the stable horses. He was a quiet, thoughtful child and he marvelled at the power of the mighty animals he looked after. Preparing for the upcoming races, the boy hurried to harness the horses. He continued his task from inside the chariot and pretended he hadn’t heard his peers’ voices behind him.
Suddenly, he heard an alarmed squeal. The horses’ reins were stretched too tightly and they were pulling forward. Xander called out, “Wait, you’re not ready yet!” It was too late. Without a moment to think, the horses had taken off down the dusty lane with the boy still in the chariot. He panicked, breath lost and heart thudding in fear. Grabbing onto the reins and flicking them only made the horses gallop faster. They hurled around a corner as he tried to guide them back towards the stables. “Look at him go,” someone shouted. Exhilarated, Xander finally managed to pull the horses to a stop. The stablemaster patted him on the back and admitted, “It appears you have a secret talent, young man. Tomorrow, I shall travel with you to the stadium and train you for the races!”
With only weeks to prepare, he arrived with the stablemaster at the edge of the city walls. They gazed over the giant, empty stadium before them, stunned and lost for words. Xander could not believe that he would soon be racing in a place of such magnificent grandeur. The mighty mountains watched over him through the sweltering heat of the cloud-dotted sky. Each day he trained, the boy slowly became used to the pull of the horses against the gritty sand. He learned the swerve of their power within his grasp. “You truly are a natural,” his master remarked.
After weeks of intense training, the Olympic games were about to begin. The stadium was now bustling with an excited crowd. Every space was packed out with an audience of thousands. Xander felt the pressure building as the spectators’ eyes fell upon him. He breathed in deeply and gripped onto the reins with confidence. After a moment of silence, the whip cracked and he zoomed onwards. The thrill of the race danced through him as his chariot moved faster and faster. He roared, “Keep going, we’re nearly there!” as the horses galloped ahead of the others. There was only one chariot left in front of him.
With power rippling through him, Xander shook the reins, willing his horses forwards. His chariot darted forward, past the other racer and broke through the finish line. He had won the race! The crowd exploded into a roaring cheer that echoed for miles around. Xander was the chariot-racing champion and all of Olympia knew it.
