The Maori legend, “The Battle of the Mountains.”

The great mountain Tongariro felt uneasy as he looked across the gap at the scowling faces of Taranaki, Tauhara and Putauaki. He knew they were about to challenge him for the love of Pihanga.

Pihanga stood straight and still, sad at the situation that was brewing, for gentle was the nature of this beautiful lady who wore the fragrant cloak of the piki kaiarero.

Meanwhile Ruapehu and Ngauruhoe played, happy in the innocence of childhood, oblivious to the mounting tension around them.

The restless mountains hovered nearby, each preparing to claim Pihanga as his bride. But Tongariro stood in their way.

Tongariro, the tuakana, the eldest, watched, his eyes steady as each of the rival mountains stepped up and issued their challenge. Then, with the formalities over, the war began!

Loud rumblings rattled from deep inside of Taranaki. The ground shook with his passion, and out of his top knot flew red hot rocks that careered straight at the waiting Tongariro.

Retaliating immediately, Tongariro let out a deafening roar and sent boulders of fire hurtling back at Taranaki. Putauaki and Tauhara, seeing their chance, came from behind while Tongariro’s attention was diverted.

Fortnite

Fortnite is a fun game i like playing it is mobile and you can play duos with a friend or squads with 3 friends. You can play on xbox one and ps4 i have never played it i just know lots about it. There is a new thing called the lighting cube and if you shoot it will attack you and if you hit it with pickax you will go flying in the air. People can troll if you shoot it from a distance with a sniper or hunting rifle it will attack the nearest person and it will kill them and it counts as a kill for you. Fortnite is cool and stuff but there  is a bad part  people will pay lots of many for skins and v bucks.Which is like money the game were you can buy stuff like skins gliders pickax and some other stuff. But people will buy v bucks for like 100 dollars and then buy all the stuff in the shop. well  my blog didn't cover much of the game but hope you enjoyed.
