This is a story written partially using GitHub Copilot. I wrote part of it but if GitHub Copilot had a good suggestion, I picked GitHub Copilot. I'm not sure if GitHub Copilot is the best way to write a story, but I think it's a good way to write a story. See if you can guess which sentences I wrote. Well let's start the story.
High in the ancient mountains of the planet Regex, lived a band of elves. They were called the Regex Elves. They had a tradition of building and decorating their homes with magical regexes. They were very good at regexes. Their leader was the Regex King Mereg, who was a very wise elf man. But he was worried because his son Fleaf did not know how to write regexes.
Fleaf didn't like regexes. He preferred playing Scorevfg with his friends, Maew and QWerty. Scorevfg was a game where they rode on flying horses and tried to catch the other players. Maew and QWerty were good at catching the other players. But Fleaf was not good at catching the other players. He was a very bad elf. So Mereg decided to give Fleaf a task. He gave Fleaf a regex. He told Fleaf to write a regex that would catch the other players.
Fleaf was so confused. How could a regex even do that? Mereg locked him in a tall tower and told him he wouldn't be let out until he'd written the regex. For several weeks Fleaf was locked in the tower. He mainly stared at the wall, he didn't even know where to start. But one night he heard a strange sound. It was a voice. It said: "I'm the regex king! I'm the regex king! I'm the regex king!"
Fleaf thought his father was playing a trick on him, so he ignored the voice and tried to go to sleep. When he awoke the next morning he found a strange box at the foot of his bed. It was a box with a regex in it. He opened the box and read the regex. It said @(#&@)USWD/dfadsifjhoidsf. He had no idea what that meant. But he hoped maybe it was the right regex, the regex that would allow him to finally both leave the tower and catch the other players. He took out his regex wand and recited the regex from the box. Suddenly he heard a horrible noise. He saw outside the sky was growing dark and filled with lightening.
"WHO HAS SUMMONED THE EVIL REGEX?" a booming voice asked. Fleaf tried to hide. But the walls started shaking and suddenly a strange figure magically appeared before him. Fleaf looked up to see a horrible sight. It was a giant red box with glowing yellow eyes. The box spoke to him. It said: "I am the regex king! I am the regex king! I am the regex king!"
Fleaf cowering cried out "I'm sorry, I didn't know, I thought you gave me the regex in the box! I didn't mean to offend you." The box looked extremely angry. It said: "I am the regex king! I am the regex king! I am the regex king!"
"OK I get it, I get it, you're the regex king. Is there anything I can do for you?" Fleaf asked. The box said: "I am the regex king! I am the regex king! I am the regex king!"
This was getting frustrating for Fleaf. He hoped a servant would come and bring him lunch so this horrid conversation would end. But the box said: "I am the regex king! I am the regex king! I am the regex king!"
"OH MY GOD STOP SAYING THAT" Fleaf shouted, his face getting red with rage. The box then proceeded to fly around the tower and then flew off into the sky. "The hell????" Fleaf thought. "I'm going to die!"
He didn't know why he was going to die, but he assumed all this stuff with the box and the regex was a pretty bad omen. That evening his father visited him. Fleaf wasn't sure what to do. Should he show his father the strange regex? Or just tell him he hadn't solved it yet?
But King Mereg looked so disappointed as he walked into the tower than Fleaf decided to risk it. Maybe his dad would finally love him.
"Dad, I've written the regex" said Fleaf.
"Oh how interesting" said King Mereg "Let me take a look at it."
King Mereg put on his reading glasses and started looking at it. As he read it, Fleaf looked at his face. He noticed his father was getting very angry.
"Son do you know what this says?" King Mereg asked.
"Sure, I wrote it" Fleaf said.
"Well it says that your mom is a regex" King Mereg said.
"What???" Fleaf was so surprised "I thought my mom was an elf???"
"She is" King Mereg said "And she is dead, this is an insult, you've somehow managed to write a regex that says that your mom is a regex"
"Good god" Fleaf started to cry "I'm going to die"
"I'm not sure why you think you're going to die" King Mereg "but you're definitely banished from the kingdom of Regex. I'll give you a magic horse to take with you, but I never want to see you again"
Fleaf started to cry. He wasn't sure what was outside the kingdom of Regex. He'd heard that beyond the walls of the kingdom there were monsters and giant monsters.
The king left the tower, slamming the door behind him.
The next morning some soldiers escorted Fleaf out of the tower and through the city. They loaded him into a carriage and set off for the wall of Regex. Once they got there, they made a big hole in the wall and then they threw the carriage into the hole. "Get out of here" they said.
Fleaf found himself in a strange place, alone. But soon a horse flew out of the hole. The horse was a magic horse. It was a very powerful horse. It had a very powerful magic. It was a magic horse. "My name is Erebus" the horse said, shaking its head "I will help you journey through the lands beyond the wall of Regex"
Erebus was the color of the sky with a tail that was the color of the sea. His hooves were made of diamonds and his head was made of gold. He had wings and he had a tail. He was a magic horse. Fleaf felt lucky to be able to ride Erebus.
But when he tried to ride Erebus, the magic horse said "I don't think you can ride me."
"Why not?" Fleaf asked.
"I don't know" Erebus said.
"But how will we go anywhere?" Fleaf asked.
"We'll walk together and find a new horse" Erebus said.
"Uh ok" Fleaf said.
Beyond the wall it was very scary. The forest was dark and full of trees. The sky was dark and full of stars. The trees seemed evil because they had a lot of leaves. There were many strange noises in the forest like howling and howling.
"We better get out of here" Erebus said "before the monsters come"
"Oh god, I totally agree" Fleaf said "but where will we go?"
"We'll go to the city" Erebus said "and we'll find a new horse"
"What city?" Fleaf asked.
"The city of Wub" Erebus said "where the monsters live"
"But I thought we wanted to avoid monsters?" Fleaf asked.
"I don't know" Erebus said "some monsters are dangerous, but some are not"
"Uh ok, I'll trust you because you seem to know what you're talking about" Fleaf said.
Fleaf followed Erebus into the forest. He walked for a while and then he saw a big monster. It was a big monster. It was a big monster. It was a big monster.
"Oh my god" Fleaf said "I'm going to die"
The monster was green and had a big mouth. It was a big monster. It was a big monster.
"Fee fie" the monster said "I'm going to eat you"
"I'm not sure why you're going to eat me" Fleaf said "but I'm going to die"
Erebus didn't seem bothered by the monster. He was just going to eat Fleaf. And then Erebuss would go back to the city.
"Please don't eat me" Fleaf said "I taste like a monster"
"Oh well that's bad, I'm not a cannibal" said the monster, "I guess I won't eat you."
"That's great" Fleaf said.
"My name is Uru" the monster said "I'm from the city of Wub"
"Oh that's where we're going" said Fleaf. Erebus wasn't paying attention, instead he was looking at a small tree that had a big mouth.
