After the police declared her as a criminal and needed to go to jail. But Hermione ran for it, hiding from the police. She was very smart so she was never caught.

Welcome to saratoga Description of my character By:Lucas Pan My character lives at sidnar and is a human/tiefling hybrid and likes tasty food and dislikes eggs.(He really hates eggs).His name is iodas. Iodas looks like a human and has tiefling magic.He has differences from a human such as having a very small tail.Iodas wants adventure and to go through the galdar mountains and see what is beyond,also to go past pentos and see the city that is over there and finally cross the endless sea to meet the tieflings.Its a big goal to do for the character and he must be ready for the dangers that come and maybe the beasts he must face.

Character by Marcus Liang My character is a bounty hunter. His name is Bounty. He is a human. He's a master with guns and is an expert at all forms of martial arts. He has super speed and is very very very VERY hard to hit, but he is weak and can’t take a gunshot. He likes different kinds of guns and money. He dislikes crowded places, when he’s on a mission. He fears his death.

My character, Ben,was born in Pentos in 1984. His family lived in peace for 3 years, until Pentos decided to fight Bane the Black Hand. His father was a soldier, and he helped Pentos fight Bane. His mother overheard rumors of Ben’s father's death, and rushed to see for herself. She was in such a hurry, that she forgot to take Ben with her. Ben had to live in the streets waiting for his mother. Ben was alone for days. But one day, a group of criminals saw him and decided to sell him for lots of money, but then realized Ben could help them rob banks, and cause crimes. They took Ben to their criminal base in Aka’vir, and he didn’t see his mother again. He was only three and didn't even know what his name was. As Ben grew older, he was forced to plan bank robberies, break into houses, and steal vehicles. Ben hated to do these things because he could get arrested anytime, but he didn't complain or the criminals would shoot him. Ben did learn helpful things though. He had better sneaking skills, he was more intelligent, he could handle firearms well, and he was more tough. He also noticed he had super speed. He assumed his father had super speed too, and his father's genes passed on to him. But when he turned 20, he didn’t want to cause crimes anymore. He packed all his belongings, stole $500,000 from the criminals, and snuck out the window. He bought an apartment room, and decided to use his skills as a job. He became a bounty hunter, and also settled on a name: Bounty.

The Elf Named Artemis Yumo Artemis, a kind and caring elf lived in the forest of the Dalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Gagal Mountains. Plants grew wild in the forest and every tree was at least 10 meters tall and 1 meter wide. Artemis, however, managed to build a little house made out of wood and oak. Artemis grew up in a little cottage alone with her mother, and her brother Apollo. Her mother was gentle and kind, and so was she. Artemis loved animals, especially deer. In the mountains lots of deers were found. Often , sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go hunting for fun riding on her pet deer. As for fun she did not kill any animals. She never went high up to the mountains where there was snow since she disliked it. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d often remember snow as a monster. When she was 10 years old, a humongous avalanche came hurtling down and rolled over her mother and killed her. For here, she was scared of heights. Once she was bathing with her friend elves when she heard footsteps. They were from Aquillance, a hunter, Aquillance should have ran for his life but instead he challenged Artemis for a battle, Artemis was furious! She threw some of the lake water on to his head and antlers spouted. Before he knew what was going on, he was turned into a deer. And that is the awesome Artemis.

The Disaster at The South Gate CHAPTER 2

Name:Ahana

Cody went with Jessica's character to get illegal food goods for a customer. Once they did, they had to pass the guards. The guards were checking the carts, but Cody was not nervous because he knew that the goods were under the food. But then the guard was about to touch it, so Cody quickly distracted him. The guard looked away when he was distracted however managed to touch the illegal food goods. The cart blew up and Cody ran away. Then he realized he had to get his partner, so he ran back to Jessica's character, grabbed her arm and ran then they went to their customer and said that someone's cart blew up.The customer kind of believed them so it was a mix success and now they are going to steal stuff.

Disaster at the South Gate Jessica Ahana; a goblin with big green eyes and is a criminal and I am nervous cause we are trying to smuggle through the line without getting caught to try to get some money. Usually (We do this a lot) it's easy, but there was never such a long line and etc. etc. We arrive at the gate and a guard says “what's your business?” Ahana stammers “ah....yeah...we’re selling...wait, ...I forgot...yeah...ah..um...um...” As she says that I hand some paper work over. The guard looked at it for a while and said “Very well... Very well. We will search your cart.” I thought “Well, that’s all right because there’s an illusion charm on the cart so that it looks like a normal delivery. But someone would notice if they put their hand in the delivery cause the illusion charm would break” We were all right till we saw a guard that seemed really nosy. So to distract them I yelled at the top of my lungs “Look, there’s a thief there!” That attracted their attention. They ran off saying “Where? Where’s the thief?” to the direction I pointed to. But the nosy guard didn’t seem to hear my yell so he continued to look around the cart. At this moment the nosy guard sank his hands in the fruits and vegetables in the cart. My only thought was “Uh-oh...I am so dead” Ahana seemed to be going over the same lines. But then I had a idea.That idea was “RUN” yelled Ahana. (No fair, I was about to say that. You stole my words!) We ran for our lives through the bustling crowd. I turned my head around to see the nosy guard having his whole arm of what seemed to be a watermelon. And before my eyes the goods were disappearing before my eyes. The guards was yelling “Catch the goblin and elf!” Ahana and I seemed to have been separated by the confused crowds. As I continue to run I hear “BOOM” there was a massive explosion behind us. My only thought was “I’m innocent! I didn’t do this! Okay, maybe some I did. But not the explosions! Don’t chase me though! Please!” At this moment I feel two very tiny hands grabbing my wrist and pulling me away (Or dragging away). The person (Or goblin) was my little friend, Ahana. We turned back to see two guards at our heels running and yelling at the same time “Stop terrorists!” Then we see an all-white dragonborn dressed just like us (Well, what seemed to look like the same outfits). One of the guards chasing us moves on to chase the dragonborn. It took me a while to figure out where we were heading. We were going to our safe house. Ahana and I phide inside a small drain. We hear the guard arriving breathing hard. At this moment me and Ahana both punch him. I punched him in the face and Ahana punched him in the stomach. After all that excited bit of drama we go to the shadow broker. If you're wondering who he is I’ll tell you. It’s a secret, don’t tell anyone. I don’t know who he is, I just know he helped me and Ahana. Well, anyway we did the secret knock on his door and the door opened to reveal a cloaked person in the middle of the room. He doesn’t talk, instead he talks in your mind. We lied to him. We said that some person had some bombs there and it went out of control. The shadow broker said quite a lot, I didn’t care, I didn’t listen or understand. I was so annoyed that I steered Ahara out of the room and slammed the door in the shadow broker's face. As I closed the door I said “ Your boring! We’ll go steal some stuff. We’ll come back later to talk if you want” We could still hear the shadow broker in my mind saying “That was rather rude, I read in a book that being rude makes you really bad (etc. etc. reciting about how bad being rude is)” I walked off annoyed by the shadow broker. I could still hear his voice echoing in my mind.

One dark rainy night, my fellow goblins and I were playing a game for gold. I was about to win, when I saw an elf bounty hunter running inside our cave, trying to hunt down Gage. I was going to tell the ogre, who was lazily counting his gold pieces, to hit her with his big cleaver, but I noticed that she was injured. I wanted to help her but she did not like my offer, so I gave her some food and water and also lit up a fire. After she finished, she quietly snuck after Gage, and nobody noticed her exit. I quickly resumed playing my game with my friends.

Disaster at the south gate By Lucas: Tomorrow is the day!Tomorrow is when I finally stop being a trader and explore everywhere. Today I will get my goods and tomorrow I will sell them. After that someone else will take over my business and I will be free despite my tiefling father's wishes. however first I must listen to some boring politicians to know who the new secretary of trading is so I can tell the other guy who they report to.Meanwhile I listen who is appointed sewer man and so on. Later there is this new giant human. The announcer says that he is a new person of choo choo trains(transportation) but he does not get off the stage.Welp that's very weird. Then the announcer person says it's over and that makes the big guy angry. As he stomps off, someone gets squished. I would not want to be him.After this whole commotion, I go to the shipping line and there is a grump guard who says for me to state my business.I do and keep my tail ready(it's very useful to have a tail)but he puts me at the back of the line. Man that guard is mean. Then I see someone who looks like the person I am looking for but I cannot get his attention.After I see two people,one is an elf and the other one has green eyes and they look like they are trying to hide in plain sight but that probably is not true. So I wait for a long timeâ&#x20AC;Ś..

After I saw the same people before running away,guess I was wrong. A cart explodes and everything goes wrong. I got hurt from a piece of the wood .Owchie! I wish I had better reflexes so I could dodge it or conjure up a barrier.Then fire is spreading and more boxes are exploding. I try to help the guards but it fails and a box explodes.I am badly damaged. I stumble away and tell a archan guard what happens but someone else tells a different report and the guard says we must both must be arrested.So I chant a spell(lol guards cannot teleport)but a a guard hurts me a bit.I go back to my place through teleportation, and another tiefling heals me a bit.I tell them about the events that that happened expect for the part where I resisted arrest. I have a feeling my adventure is only the beginning.

It was a bad day today. I lost a five finger fillet game and lost plenty of gold because that man distracted me. He just had to be there when it was my turn. My mission to capture Gage wasn't much better. I almost captured him but he heard me and slipped away. I chased after him but an elf bounty hunter mistook me as the bounty, snuck up behind me and attacked. But when she realized I wasn't Gage, she left me to heal on my own. I’m not going to just let it go though. I’m going to get revenge...someday.

Yumo A bounty hunterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job Somewhere unknown by villagers, there was a half burnt mansion . This place unknown was locked in one of Sidnarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s darkest woods. It used to be a village, but now the village was abandoned and nobody was ever seen again. There was only a criminal called Gatech. Aetemis was paid to go to capture him and bring him back to an underwater mansion, where all criminals were. Her mission had to start before the rise of the sun. Early in the morning, Artemis crept into the half burnt mansion. She made some creaking noises that she was sure the strong wind could cover. And then she saw it ! A

shadow going into a room. She quickly crept to the room. She took a sneak peek into the room. A figure with a black hood stood there. She thought that it was best to see who it was. As quick as a rabbit, Artemis leaped and threw the figure to the ground. A human looking figure leaped through the window. Artemis wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sure it was Getach, So she decided to first see who the person on the ground was then go through the window if necessary. The person on the floor was no one but her partner. He was also trying to capture Getach but Artemis knew he would ask for help so she quickly refused and moved on. She heard water splashing and quickly ran to the swamp. There was Getach.

Meeting at the Market CHAPTER 3

Name:Ahana Cody and Jessica's character tryed to steal gold from a bank but it looked too hard. They found this other store, so they entered it from the chimney like Santa, since Cody is really small.Cody went down with a rope on his waist and the other end of the rope Jessica's character was holding. Once Cody got into the store, he saw this cool broom so he picked it up and went to the back room to find the really cool stuff. When he got there, he saw a brown paper bag with a sword in and a Goblin holding it. The Goblin tried to kill Cody but instead hurt his shoulder. Cody tried to signal Jessica's character. Jessica's character pulled Cody up and the cops arrived so Cody and Jessica's character had to leave before the cops arrested them for stealing. Cody and Jessica's character got on the broom and flew away, But ended up crashing into a building.

Jessica After the bad encounter with the shadow broker we decide to go steal from a bank . But then we discovered that the bank was heavily guarded so that we had no chance against the magic and dangerous animals. So as we arrived at Sidnar trust bank we turned around and headed to a store, Arnold store. As we passed the market place we saw no one cause it was still dawn and everyone was still sleeping. “Great,” I thought, “We won't be seen as we do some bulgari.” Me and Ahana climbed onto the roof and tried to slide down the chimney, but it was too small and only Ahana could go inside. So I did some magic to widen the entrance. But it only widened the entrance not the whole thing. So we decided to tie the rope to Ahana's hip and lower her down the chimney. As Ahana goes down she sees a pair of footprints in the soot. She walks in the store with the rope trailing behind heer. She sees weapons, clothes, toys etc. Then she sees a jar with magical objects on a desk. Near the desk was a broomstick hooked to the wall. Ahana walks in front of the broomstick and hooks it from the hood. As she explores the store she brings the broomstick along too. Then she see a backroom so she goes inside and sees a vault with difficult locks. But it was already open. Under the safe was a small bag which seemed to be magical by containing many objects. Then a goblin jumps out of the vault with a golden sword and slides it smoothly in the small bag. When it sees Ahana he freezes than charge at her with the sword. Ahana backs away but gets stabbed on her shoulder all the same. Meanwhile on the roof I had no idea that my partner was having trouble down there. Ahana knows she in trouble so she gives a tug on the rope on her hip. When I felt the tug I pulled her up. Ahana fell backwards on her butt and was dragged up the chimney. When the little goblin saw that he jumps out of the window and the alarm goes off. When Ahana arrived on the roof her body was all covered with ash except her blood soaked shoulder. My first thought was “Are you sure your Ahara?”In her hand was a broom. Under the roof was gathering a crowd in pyjamas and slippers. I yell at the crowd “There's robbery! We were trying to stop the thief.” But then someone below screamed back “Stop burglar! We know you’re the one that wants to steal!” While I do that Ahana throws the broom in the air and it started to float. Ahana climbs on the broom closely followed by me. The broomstick seemed to have its own brain. It was completely out of Ahana’s control. But quite suddenly it turned left and we going at high speed to a tower. The broomstick didn't seem to be slowing down either. My thought was “Im am so dead” Then we hit the tower. What happened later was a complete blur. Everything went completely black with some stars around my head. I Remembered falling down slowly as if I was in slow motion. Then with a “thud” I hit the ground. The next thing I knew I woke up around midday. Ahana was waking up too. We blended into the crowd. As we moved with the crowd we saw a Tiefling looking annoyed, grumpy and angry repairing Arnold’s store. As we moved down the hill we saw a pale white dragonborn in front of us. An I was positive that this was the dragonborn at the south gate yesterday. We walk to the dragonborn and said “Hey, were you the one at the south gate. "But he didn't answer, on the contrary he started running away from us. Ahana grabs dragonborn ankle and he fell to the ground. The Dragonborns hood fell off and confirmed my suspicion that he was the person at the south gate. As we do so he yells “Help! Help! Someone's attacking me!” I rip off a piece of cloth from my clothes and stuff it in his mouth. A crowd was soon gathering around us. Ahana punches the Dragonborn on his side. Then, quite suddenly, the Dragonborn moves his tail and trips me to the ground. The crowd was now oohing and ahhing and placing bets on who would win. The Dragonborn gets to his feet and runs away. Then shortly after the fight we see an electric blue disk destroying everything in its path. When it hits a person, the person disngrates. I was terrified as I saw the disk coming. My thought was “Its okay, it's just a blue disk that kills people and destroys things. I'm scared!” I nstead of running away like the

other me and Ahara was acting cool like nothing was happening. Then the disk hits something (I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it is) and explodes. Everyone hits the ground. And as the dust cleared, we saw people getting up and helping each other up. Where the disk exploded a big scar in the middle of the marketplace.

Market chaos By Lucas: I woke up pretty early and got some really bad news. The person who was supposed to take over the business was arrested at the south gate disaster. I considered choosing someone else for the job but decided to first go to the shop. Then I get even more bad news. My shop has been broken into! I am horrified at what happened and my epic flying Broom is stolen. I am very angry. So I clean up with magic and a broom and clean and clean for a long time. Then I see an epic fight between a goblin and a elf fighting a dragonborn but the dragonborn walks away and I am sad that it ended. After a day of cleaning, I hear a person who made his voice bigger shouting something about rodrick. Suddenly a lightning disk is coming my way and I run. I try to cast a barrier but it does not work and blinds me.So I run up the hill which is not all that smart. Then that lightning splits into pieces and a small piece of the lightning disk hits me.I see other people in the chaos and 2 I recognize from the south gate. Suddenly out of a hole that the lightning disk made,creatures are going out of there and they do not look nice here. Worst of all there is a horde of them! My flying broom would be really useful here.

so me and marcus went to a tower to find gage, but we found a tower with a tank in it, we opened it with magic, and a man called yanbar fell out. he woke up and asked the date, and where is his axe, we told him the date but we didn't know where is his axe, so we just took him to adventurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rest to eat. when we are eating we saw a goblin and a human fighting a dragonborn, yanbar want to bet on who would win but he's poor so we didn't do it, then we saw a disc that came up the hill and hit the restaurant, but a barrier appears and blocks it. then the explosion carved a fisher in the ground and demons started coming out of it.

In the middle of the day I was robbing a store when suddenly I saw a goblin looking at me with her green glowing eyes. She was staring at me with her green glowing eyes. I tried to kill her so I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wouldn't get caught, I stabbed her and she got really hurt. But then suddenly a rope behind her yeeted behind her and she escaped from my grasp. I stole some rare diamonds and I ran away, but I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run far because I saw them yelling that there was a theft on top of the building. Then I hid in a cave, I was staring at them and saw an electric disc. That had ran down the road crashing everything in its way. Later the whole city had been filled with deadly goblins.

Jerry and I were in the enchanter’s tower, searching for Gage. We quietly examined the place before sneaking in. The place was old and dusty, so I figured there would be a good chance Gage would be here. We walked up to a door, which was blocked, so I kicked down the door. It was kind of noisy but I still succeeded. We searched the tower and found a tank full of blackish liquid with a human body inside of it. I was afraid if the liquid was harmful so I used magic to pull him out. When he was out, he woke up, and we took him to breakfast at Adventurer's Rest and asked him some questions. Turns out, his name was Yangbar, he was part of the seven who fought Bane and the last thing he remembered, before he was in the tank, was that he was enjoying a meal at a party. We ate while watching a fight between below the hill. I also saw a person giving a speech, but I realized it was Gage. He pulled out a blue object which first appeared as a lightning bolt, but morphed into a large disc. The large disc started rolling and destroying everything and everyone in its path. People screamed and ran away from the disc. Eventually, the disc turned and sped to the direction of Adventurer’s Rest. Jerry and I moved out of the disk’s way, but Yangbar wanted to fight the disc, but I knew it was dangerous so I leaped and pushed Yangbar out of the way behind a garbage can. Suddenly a big blue shield appeared and blocked the disc. The disc spun in the air for a few seconds then exploded and pieces of disk flew, hurting lots of people. After the explosion, I looked back and saw that Gage was gone.

Lost and found Yumo

of course the sun was beaming with pride. Artemis on the other hand was suffering. She had been chasing Gage all night and was tired but she didn’t give up. With Gage right in front she could easily track him. Gage ran with Artemis right behind. They ran to somewhere Artemis recognized. She can see down the hill there was a fight between a dragonborn, one goblin and an elf. Up the hill was a restaurant that she went to often. It was called the Adventurous est, Her partner,Marcus (the one she thought was Gage) was resting with Jerry and a weird person. On her right was a market, and on her left was the festival. Gage ran into the fighting crowd and sat on a bench waiting for someone. As soon as he sat down all the people on the bench rose up and walked away. Soon, a dragonborn walked up to him, she crept closer to hear what they were saying. As close as can she could only hear the dragonborn. It’s clear and everything is planned. I’ll head back.” And he walked away, Not long after, Gage stood up and busted through the crowd to the festival stage and marched on and said “Attention. I shall reap what It was morning in Sidnar, and

you sowâ&#x20AC;?. Something unexpected by Gage and the others happened. A large blue disc came rolling and destroyed all in itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. Yang bar tried to fight it. But it was too strong. Suddenly lighting crashed down and a fissure appeared in the middle. Bugs started crawling out of it.

Mayhem in the Market CHAPTER 4

Name:Ahana Cody bumps into Yumo and then, they try to fight big Demons. He then tries to help Civilians but it does not work and now they attack the big Demons. Yumo and Jessica's character have been poisoned. Cody Managed to kill one big demon but the other did not realize that Cody killed one of them so he continued to hit the wall. They tried to help Civilians. Cody said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come with me Civiliansâ&#x20AC;? but they thought he was a Demon, So they kicked Cody instead and they went to Large Demons and the guards came out . Jessica's Character steps back and Yumo goes forward and Cody gets poisoned and Yumo starts to cough blood. Cody smashes the other Demons with his broom and kills the remaining small Demons and finally they made the Civilians move further.

Mayhem in the Marketplace Jessica As the dust clears, we move toward the fissure to see some greenish – yellow demons coming out of the fissure. I was so shocked that I stopped on my tracks for a moment. My mind went completely blank. Ahana, me and an elf that I think wants to help, starts to rescue people who were slowly advancing on the fissure with curiosity. We start to see people attacking demons. Chaos exploding all over. So, I started attacking the monsters with any possible object I could reach. As we attacked the demons, we noticed that the demons seemed not to be able to be feeling our hits at all. But as we look around, we see the demons exploding in a pile of ash instead of dying as the people killed them. Groups of demons come out of the fissure and start to walk toward the civilians. As the civilians start to panic, we hear a bell sound, someone is calling for the Archons guard. As I looked up, I understood why the civilians were panicking, it was because there were big and small demons everywhere. And some houses were starting to be born. We tell the demons to back away toward the exits. But instead of listening they think we are the demons and are punched backward. As the demons approach some demons grab the civilians and drag them toward the fissure. Some of the big demons slam their fists in the buildings causing them to shake violently. Meanwhile, the other elf attacks a demon, the demon explodes, but the demon beside it doesn't notice that his companion is gone. The civilians ran around in confusion because everything seemed to break out so quickly no one got over their shock yet. We see small demons' advance on a group of civilians. Just as they were about to be attacked by the demons, we hear a familiar sound “Make way! Make way! The Archon’s guard are here!” The Archons guard tries to help the civilians and defeat the demons. Then a shadow appears and something like vapor comes out that makes us feel like we're being poisoned. I back away immediately. But Ahana inhales more and starts to sputter. The elf starts coughing as she breathes in more vapor. The Archons guards guided the civilians to an exit. The guards follow the civilians as they go through the exit Ahana, me and the elf (Which I later learned that her name was Yumo) went around the fissure and encountered some small demons. The demons were trying to drag the civilians to the fissure. We corner the demons at the edge of the fissure. Some demons fall down the fissure, slowly the demons fall down into the fissure. I charge at the demons and two demons attack back. I make a sort of shield and the two demons are thrown back, as demon skeletons. While I do that Yumo and Ahana do their own thing, by attacking the demons. There not many left. The demons start fleeing up the hill. We urge the civilians forward to go escape. We yell “RUN!” We scare them to the exit instead of reassuring them to the exit. We run past the big demons without harm. Demons are everywhere and there is fire on some houses. There are civilians wandering with confusion in chaos. The battle field is starting to get quieter. There is ash everywhere from the battle. No one seems to be fighting anymore. The Archons guards start to surround us. One of them took off his helmet. It was obvious that he was the leader. He said “Great job everyone. And you guys there (He points to us and a couple other people) great job and we need to discuss what just happened. You will be prisoners, but not quite the sort where you go to jail immediately. I’ll say special prisoners.” The Archons guard escort somewhere to rest and discuss. I was confused, angry and shocked. Cause they seemed to be saying “Great job! But you're still going to jail. Oh... and you're going to have to tell us what happened before suffering in prison. Next time let the Archons guard deal with the battle. You guys stay out of it.” My thought was “Unfair, we helped and we deserve to be sent to jail!”

we saw some demons coming out of a fisher that a disk carved, so we started fighting, i just kept killing small demons while other people are killing large demons and helping civilians. then someone got into the fisher and got stomped on by a giant thing, and someone else tried to help him but he got kicked and they almost died, but yanbar pulled them out and the went to rest. then we kept killing demons until they almost died out, then some guards started complimenting us and told us to come with them, so we did.

By:Lucas Demons are coming and I haven't even started my adventure. Then the yanbar starts attacking the monster's.Looks like I will get my first fight. We are fighting and the old guy is starting to punch demons. We slashing against the monsters.Wanna go another round? Following yanbar and we are actually winning and punishing the demons. Down the road there are some other people fighting but I have no time to focus on them. We are going to go inside the hole to fight the source of the problem. We jump in and slide down the fisher and slice around as we go. It seems that the air is dense and the walls are hot but we still fight on. Then I hear a strange whisper in my mind. I tell myself that it is not real, however not everybody has the same reaction. Looks like my mind is sharper. Finally we clear a wave of monsters but there are still more to fight. However the other team is going up except me and yanbar. In the dust at the bottom there is a large thing and I am the only person who sees it other than yanbar. I walk through the dust and I try to see what it is and it has a head and shoulders. The monster smashes it fist and then something pulls me back. It's yanbar! I am saved! I hear the weird voice and it starts to mock me and apparently yanbar is to stupid to know what the voice is talking about.I charge with a sword and then I trip and the monster stomps me.Then I see a patio and yanbar

explains all of it and I come back to my senses.This is very bad.Then more monsters are getting killed and more guards are coming.I can only watch and oh,why is marcus here? After a long time the fighting has slowed and it seems that we got the upper hand.This was a true adventure but then the guards are moving towards us. The leader congratulates us and he sees me.Yanbar boosts our esteem with his weird talk.They want to know what happened and we are being escorted(arrested).I hate being arrested but today was a truly adventurous day.

After the electric disc exploded, large groups of small and large demons appeared out of nowhere. Lucas, Jerry, Yangbar, and I charged at the small demons and Jessica, Yumo, Ahana and Kaho fought the larger ones. We stab with swords, knives, spears, and use magic, but more and more packs of demons come. As we fight, we hear strange voices whispering words like “failure” and “death”. One group heads to some citizens, and one heads to Kaho’s group. We fought and we were doing pretty well, until a large humanoid figure walks close to our group and stomps on Lucas. I attempted to rescue Lucas by stabbing the figure’s ankle but I got flung backwards into the ground and my vision grew dim. When I awoke, I was in a bubble with Lucas, at Adventurer's Rest, controlled by Yangbar. Yangbar quickly explained what had happened and we rushed to help the guards fight the demons. Yumo, Ahana, Jessica, and Kaho push a crowd of citizens to an exit, while some other guards move another crowd of citizens to the exit. More and more demons come and we fight as hard as we can. It seems that demons will never stop spawning until everything is silent. Nobody was fighting, and there was demon ashes and blood all over the floor, buildings, and our clothes. I smiled. We never met each other but we did our part. One guard takes off his heavy helmet and strides over to us. “Well done all of you,” shaking our hands,“well done.” Yangbar speaks up, “I’m afraid we’re getting arrested…” “Oh, I wouldn’t say arrested. That would be a little….extreme.” But then the guard seems to remember something, and says,”I would like you to tell us what happened before we came. Please follow us to the castle.”

Won in barm Yumo Artemis sat by the warm fireplace in the Archon’s Castle with a few harmed people and some Archon’s guards. She looked side to side. Two goblins, one elf, a teifeling, and a human, on the coach sat Yangbar sleeping. All of them were harmed in countless places. She had her right hand wrapped in a thick layer of cloth and bandages. The last thing she remembered was smoke and ash. That was all an hour ago….. It was afternoon , and the sun was high up in the sky when small little demons charged out of the fissure on the top of the hill. More small demons charged out in the center of the fissure. Large demons appeared from the bottom of it. Artemis and a goblin and elf escorted the left hand side civilians up to “Adventurous Rest“ and out to the exit. They then ran back down and fought the large demons. None of them seem to notice or feel a thing. One demon felt pain. Real pain. Artemis, of course, was prepared, since she was a bounty hunter, she shot the demons and they burst into pieces and ash came out, she breathed it in. It was poison, she was poisoned! But yes she defeated a group of demons. Up the hill, guards arrived and small demons started to attack Civilians! Artemis quickly ran to save them and lead them to the guards, who escorted them to safety. The civilians up at “adventurous rest” ran back down. The upper-left exit was blocked with small demons fighting with the guards. So there was only one possible exit! The right-bottom corner. Artemis yelled to the civilians with the goblin and elf “Run!” and “Quickly go, go, go!” Every civilian screamed Goblin!” and ran to the exit. They were safe. Next, papped at the Adventurous Rest .”

A heavy hand dropped onto her shoulder and said “I’m aging to far I guess . Here a drink.” It was an Archon guard. She kindly accepted a dink and said “ Demons are still out there sir, we have to stop them.” That’s my job not yours. You are to stay and rest.” Said the Archon guard heading or the door.” But sir—“no buts” he said grabbing his coat and slammed the door lock.

The Trial CHAPTER 5

Name: Ahana

We went to jail. They put us in a big room with about six people. They were all asking us questions. Whenever they thought Cody was telling a lie, the lights would turn red. Whenever they thought they were telling the truth, the light switched to blue. They asked Cody, “Have you ever committed a crime?” Cody said yes. Then they asked him, “What is your most recent crime?” They could tell what he was thinking about in his mind, and he did not want to tell the truth. He was so scared, but then he got an idea. He said, “I took money from my parents without them knowing.” At first, the light was about to turn red, but it was pink, and then it turned blue. Cody was so happy on the inside. Once they finished asking everyone questions, they took them to this huge Mansion with a big chandelier and comfy beds. Everyone was tired, so they all fell asleep on these comfy beds that were nice and warm. In the morning, they woke up and ate breakfast.

The Trial Jessica The Archons guard led us on a curved path. People cried out questions about what was happening. There were still sounds of battle: they were battling the remains of the demons that escaped into the city. They arrive in front of a big staircase. On the staircase was a big red carpet. The staircase led to a shining, bright castle. But to my dismay, they went under the staircase, into a tunnel. I thought “Hey, this is not how you treat guests that save your city. You guys led us into an ugly tunnel under a beautiful palace.” We walked in the tunnel for a long time and arrived in a room. I nside the room was a guard. The guard looked up and said, “Papers?” But the guard leader waved him off. They kept on walking in the corridor. There were many torches passing us. It happened a few times again with the guard and corridor with torches. But after a long time, the walls seemed to be closing in on us. We go into a different room. The room had no guard and inside there was a jail cell, too. They put us inside the jail cell. The lead guard says, “Uh...you guys are not under arrest...Uh...You guys are persons of interest.” Then a person around the age of 30 says, “Uh...Yes, persons of interest. My name is Flowd Parker and I am the new Minister of Justice.” They all knew that the old Minister of Justice was grumpy and grouchy. Meanwhile, Parker was nicer and kinder. He stroked his beard while saying, “Um... If you don’t mind, we have a meeting; it’s a good time to talk privately. You know, no people are spying on you.” We talk about the situation that just happened. After a while, Parker came and said, “Follow us, it is time to come.” We again went through hallways with torches. When we stopped into a room, the guard would say “Oh, are you leaving so soon?” This happened again many times. Then we arrived in a room without a guard. There were balls of blue-white lights. Then we arrived in front of rock stairs which led to a cave. The cave seemed very old. We see a table with two people. The room is large and is supposed to contain a lot of people, but right now it seemed so empty that it was a bit creepy. We arrived at a table with 7 chairs for each of us, a small distance from the two men. I noticed that everything was carved out of stone and on the wall was some really old blood. Parker says, “Hem, hem, we are in the room of justice. “Looks more like the room of creepiness, looks scary,” I thought. But I had a sensation, a weird one of being in such a sacred and famous room. Parker smiled, but he also looked uneasy o. He looked like a small boy in his father's uniform. I felt drowsy after listening to some “Blah, blah, blahs.” The lights were changing: I think it was to detect the truth. Blue is the truth, and red is a lie. I think I fell asleep. I slept a good dreamless sleep. Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed my shoulders and shook me awake. Then Parker, in a business-voice, asked me after I was fully awake: “Did you smuggle any illegal things into our wonderful city, Sidnar?”. I answered sleepily: “What? Oh, I'm deaf I can't hear.” The light turned pink, which I think means it's uncertain. “Did you smuggle any illegal things by accident into our wonderful city, Sidnar?” says Flowd. I answered: “‘N-O’. I think this time you're deaf. And for your information, you're annoying and hateful.” The light turned blue. “At least the lights agree that you're annoying and hateful” I thought. They started talking again. I wasn’t focusing and started playing soccer between my feet with a rock (If soccer exists in Sidnar). Then, someone grabbed me by my clothes and took me to a big mansion along with the others. Well, I wasn’t listening so I said, “Hey, um my WIFI to connect to your speech broke so tell me why I'm here.” The person says “This is your mansion along with the others... for the time being.” When we entered inside, I jumped on the biggest and fluffiest bed and fell asleep. At breakfast next morning, Yumo the Bounty Hunter (Guess what, I learned all these people's names.) says “I had a... rather weird dream I couldn't control.” Elves can control their dreams, that is why I don’t have nightmares. She was so boring,

so I ignored her and instead started to admire the mansion. But I caught some words like “purple acid in dream...burned hole in bedsheets.” Then Yangbar, a rather stupid person, followed Yumo to her room. When they returned a while later, we heard someone knock saying, “You people are summoned to the public.” After the person left, an argument, conversation, or fight broke out between Yanybar and Lucas the Adventurer. At first it was some stupid conversation but it somehow turned into an argument, then a fight. Just as they were about to fight, Lucas fell right on his face. Yanybar didn’t touch him, or use magic: he’s too stupid to use magic or brains. Yanybar caught Lucas just when he was about to fall to the ground. From the looks of it he didn’t fake it, he just fell because he was obviously too weak. I thought, “Ha, ha, ha, ha you can't even stand to fight.”

After we finished fighting, we were taken to this room underneath the government building. We were placed in a cell and discussed how to tell them what happened. They took us into a room with a light and asked a lot of questions. They let us go, and some of us received items. ,However, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get anything.

We were led to the castle and into a tunnel with lots of guards asking for papers. The guard who was leading us made a gesture, nodded, and went back to their business. The tunnel is lit with many torches. We walked in deeper and deeper, and I couldn't remember how long we had been walking. I figured they were using a spell to make you forget time so the prisoners couldn't easily escape. We were moved to a large cell. “Don’t worry, you are not prisoners,” the guard began. Suddenly, a man named Floyd Parker interrupted him as he walked into the room, “Of course not! They are people of interest!” He bellowed, “Welcome to the Underkeep! You’ll have some minutes and we will question what happened during the fight.” He smiles and walks out of the room. After a few minutes, another guard led us back through the tunnel and passed the guards asking for papers. Finally, we stop at a large room with shiny white orbs on the ceiling. We follow the lights and into a big room with 7 chairs. Jessica figured out what place this was and told the group: it was a room used for trials. If you were proven guilty here, you would be executed on the spot. However, if you were innocent, you were free. We take our seats with Floyd Parker, a guard, and a large man. Floyd Parker asked us if we had anything to say before we told our story. Lucas said,”We heard voices when we were fighting.” “You went inside the pit?” “No we were outside it.” The orbs suddenly flashed red and lit the whole room. “Well..yes, we did,” Lucas admitted. The light turned to its original colour. Floyd began to ask questions and we answered them one by one. The light stayed blue for plenty of answers, until the red light beamed on Kaho and Ahana. The guard sitting at the table grabbed them and put something on both of their heads. They feel a creature searching for a crime memory, and then the light turns blue; we know we succeeded. After more questions, Floyd gets up and leads us out of the room. He makes his way up the stairs and points at a gorgeous mini-mansion. “This is where you will stay for now,” he says, “make yourselves at home!” We enter the mansion, and he walks away.

We are being escorted to prison and I hate it. We see torches and so on and I feel like this is disoriented. Guards keep saying papers. We know that magic is here and what we are seeing may not be there. We see prisoners scratching a rock on a wall and doing weird things. The gate is opened up and I hate this place. They lock the room and we are stuck in a cell. They say we are not prisoners and a man introduces himself and i recognize him from the government jobs event. He says welcome and blabbers around. Then he lets us have time to talk around. We decide to tell them most of the truth. Oh no, suddenly they are back. They are here to investigate what happened .We will follow him for a hearing. We enter a room that has white orbs. We are walking into something like a cave shaped like a

colosseum. We can recognize that this is supposed to have a lot of people.We see a weird stone that has chains. It is staining dark blood. We are inside the cavern of justice. This place's story is very dark because of executions. We take our seats and we feel uncomfortable. The archon looks like he is nervous. We start to know how he got this job. We see the judge and he starts the hearing. I see these orbs and it looks like they are the Wards of Truth which if it is blue then it says I am not lying and if it is red then I am lying.I say about the lightning disk and say I hate them. My friends are being cornered with topics like drugs and stealing and some of them are criminals.They ask about the swamp and my friends are in a bad position. The justice governor lists what we say and I am

scared.I attempt to change the color of the wards of truth with magic but something is blocking it. Bad things will happen. He questions me about smuggling and terrisom and the cult of rodrick.I never had anything to do with those subjects! He also questions me about resisting arrest. I try to lie about it but the annoying wards of truth force me to tell the truth.Some of my friends are in bigger hot water and the inquisitor is probing their memories.After a long time the hearing ends and the big person calls Baldwin wants us to die.One person wants us to go away and get rewarded for our bravery. However we win and get 1k gold pieces. This is amazing!! Hooray! I also get a mansion and question who is yanbar. Today was a crazy day. So I rest and have a dream. I have a dream where there is this

city and I feel like I have to go there. At breakfast we talked about our crazy dreams. This cannot be this coincidence. However the archon guards want to meet us. But before that I tried to get info from yanbar but he still thinks it's 1000 years ago. This is getting me nowhere.

THE PRISON OF TIME

Artemis sat on a soft cushion lying on the floor, sipping the purple drink. A loud knock made her turn around. An Archon guard stood right in front of them. “I’m here for these guys,” he said, “follow me.” He led them to a familiar place. Artemis had dropped plenty of prisoners here before. This was the Prison of Time . It was known for how long it felt every day. They walked and walked, and kept on walking. Artemis’ head was spinning. She was dizzy and, after consuming the purple drink, she wanted to vomit! She didn’t know how far nor how long they had walked. They passed a cell where a prisoner was drawing a line and saying, “This can’t be right. Have I only been here 2 days?” Finally, they reached an empty cell. “Hello, hello,” said a voice, “I am the new justice minister; you are not in trouble, but we’d like to know what happened today. So, we would like you to answer a few questions down here.” A door on their side opened, and they walked in. They came out after one hour, alive and relieved. yumo

Ozmo The Merchant Mage CHAPTER 6

Ozmo the Merchant Mage Jessica As Lucas and Yangbar finished fighting, someone knocked on the door. The person said, “I'm sorry, but we really can't wait longer, the ceremonies going to start.” Then, the door opens to reveal a few Archons guards. They want us to follow them in a hallway. The sound of crowds cheering and whistling grew louder and louder until it sounded like the crowd was in front of them. Some of us peer through the curtains and see a crowd of people in front of the capitol building. The crowd was cheering at the words of the person on the podium. There were also some chairs on the stage. We can't hear from here, but it was something interesting. We ask what's happening to one of the guards. The guard replied “You guys don’t know? Well, it's obviously a ceremony from the looks of it.” Well, that was quite useful. I noticed that a long time ago, I thought. Then, the guard said “Well, it's finally time to go. Come on.” We go on the stage and everyone starts to cheer. Lucas waves, Marcus puts on some glasses and starts um...walking oddly. The criminals and I kept our heads low in case someone would recognize us as criminals. The person who was talking, the master of ceremonies, continued to talk as we took our seats. His voice magically magnified around. He talks more, then introduces someone, then launches into a story about how he tried to save the citizens. He said, “Well, the day of the market attack, a guard came and said ‘There is an attack at the market and this group (he gestures to us) tried to stop them, but we could not stop the attack.’ The master of ceremonies continues: “We must protect our city, Sidnar. So, I let the Archons guard help stop the attack. Luckily, this group helped us to save Sidnar, or else right now our city would be in ruins. Although, they aren't the best group. Let me introduce everyone to them.” As he read our names one by one, we ignored him until he said, “Yangbar.” Yangbar, in response, said, “Yaar.” We attended the awards ceremony and we all got medals. Thecrowd started to leave and we left the stage, too. We arrived in a council room. We sat around the table and got comfortable when the guard leader arrived. “Oh, you’re here already,” he said with an air of surprise. He handed us a stack of paper and continued: “We formally let you join the Archons guard. It’s a special unit. You have no rules to respect but you don’t get paid, either. You just work. If you want to become a member, just sign your name on the paper. If you don’t sign, I will have to conscript you. I will leave you so you can talk about your choices.” The guard leader backed away. I,and a lot of people, didn’t sign. When the guard came back to collect our forms, from the look of it he wasn’t that pleased with our choices. He said, “You guys can go and head to your first mission.” We walked down the hallway and met a woman. She said, “I heard you didn’t want to join; you're having your first mission. Do you want to have some...ah things you may like to have? Oh, and I will take you to some place to get your weapons. Here is your award money. Inside are 900 gold pieces.” She dropped the money in our hands. I said, “Well, can you take away our past crimes?” A few of us said the same thing. The woman agrees and takes us down the hallway to somewhere deep underground to get our weapons. We stop in front of a pitch-black corridor and the woman says, “I think you can handle it from here.” Marcus goes down the hallway and Jerry lights a torch and the group follows behind cautiously. We arrive at a metal door with no handle. Marcus barely touched it when the door opened. There in the middle stood a person. He said, “I am Ozmo. I will help with your weapons in exchange for money. I will draw the weapon from a secret place, but I won't tell you where.” Lucas wanted a lightning spear. The light turns dark, Ozmo waves his hands around, and out of his cloak is a black spear. At the tip is some black lightning. The spear turned blue and so did the lightning. I wanted a magic wand and the same thing happened. But, my wand had a few side effects. I

took the wand from Ozmo and felt warmth going through me. It made me feel confident and maybe a bit powerful. With the wand, I could rearrange the world around me. Jerry wanted a bow. Marcus got a flaming trident. Yumo wanted a cloak that could make her disappear. Ahana wanted a hat that could teleport her. Ahana used all the money and left none for Ka Ho. Ka Ho wanted a giant sword. Ozmo, who was staring at the empty money bag, said, “I will give you the swordif you give me your blood.” Ka Ho agreed. Then, Ozmo said to us, “If you want to remove the negative effects of your items, you can do a similar thing to what I did to your friend, Ka Ho.” I let him do it and Ozmo took a few of my hairs. Suddenly,after he took some of my hair, the confident and powerful feeling disappeared from my body. Ozmo said that the wand could be unpredictable. Yumo and Marcus agreed, too. Ozmo took a memory from Yumo and I forgot what he took from Marcus. We went to the Enchanter's tower where we would performour first mission. There was a wooden door but it would not open for us to open. Lucas took his lightning spear and stabbed the door. The door exploded into small pieces. Lucas and Marcus went up while the rest of us stayed behind. After a while, we see Lucas flying down the stairs from being hit in the chest. Marcus kept on moving forward and Jerry followed behind him. After a while, Jerry gestures for us to come. Lucas came up the stairs with him. After another few moments, I see Lucas and Jerry coming out with glass orbs. I recognized them immediately. I said, “Wow, wow, wow. Do you know what that is?” They both shook their heads. I continued, “It's a bomb and if it shakes a lot it could explode within 10 seconds!” When Jerry and Lucas heard that their hands were shaking so badly, I suspected that the orbs would explode immediately. They went upstairs and put the orb back where they found it safe. Then, when they came back, we heard fighting sounds and a person on fire came and Lucas screamed, “Oh no!” In my head, I thought Who is this fire person? I am so dead.

By:Lucas We have to go to the archon guards. They dress for a presentation. We go with them and walk through the capital. There are a lot of people. It’s noisy! We see thousands of people. One of the guards says, “Are you ready?” I say, “Ready for what”? Then we are on the stage. I wave to the crowd, which seems to please them. We take our seats while Jerry spits water at the crowd: gross! Everyone starts to get silent and the host gives thanks to the archon for putting us together. Gideon says fancy words and

looks like he is taking the credit. Jessica seems to be onto something. He says that it was a dark day when they got information that there would be an attack on the market and made it sound like he put us together. He is lying about what he says. Now he is blaming us for damage that we could not prevent, but we still get medals for our heroics. They lead us into a small chamber and after we go on this table. We recognize some people from the battle against the monsters, like the archon general. He gives us a form and the form is a paper for becoming an archon guard.

I sign the paper so I do not have to be conscripted. Another archon guard comes in and gives us a briefing of our mission. He says the Cult of Rodrick is in the dark tower. That is where Yanbarwas found by Marcus. Is the cult trying to eliminate Yanbar? We also get 900 gold pieces to buy weapons and armour. We are then in the armoury and someone called Ozmo is here. I pay with some gold and get a lightning spear. At first, it looks horrible but then the tip turners blue. Hooray! Jessica bought a wand that can rearrange her surroundings. Yumo bought a cloak

that makes her go into the world of emotions., Jerry bought a barrage bow. Marcus bought a flaming trident. Ahana bought a hat of teleportation, and Kaho gets a giant super sword. However, Kaho has no money and instead gives his blood to Ozmo to get the giant super blade. Jessica and Yumo also give their blood to Ozmo to be able to ward off some side effects of their weapons. Marcus also does it for his flaming trident. Then, we are at the enchanter's tower.I destroy the door with my cool lightning spear. I enter the tower a little bit to see what is inside. Marcus tries to set the tower on fire

but nothing happens as the fire he created fizzles out. Marcus and I go in and I accidentally step on a wire. I launch back and rollback. Ow! It turns out I got hit by a log. I scramble to get my lightning spear back. Marcus asks for backup, but I say no because I just got hit by a log. So do the others. Jerry will accompany Marcus inside the tower. Jerry says to come in after some time, and I go in even though I got hurt. I see a glass globe with 2 liquids inside. I know that it is not a glass globe and the 2 liquids inside the glass are meant to be

mixed. I take the orb and show it to the other people. Jessica tells me it is a bomb: if I shake it, it will explode. So, I quickly put the orb back. Phew! We see a light that gets brighter and brighter. I think it is Marcusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flame trident. Suddenly, we see someone on fire go onto a tarp. I think it is a good idea to run away.

we got 900 gold and we went to ozmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s item shop, and he just pull out our gear out of his coat which is impressive, so i got a bow that duplicates arrows. and it is op and it have no negative effects, so it's pretty good. everyone got there stuff then we head to the tower, then we found tons of orbs but then they were actually nukes, so we put them back

we got our gold and went to the weapon shop, 1 got a good roll and i also spend 100 gold to make it better, and i got a bow that dupes arrows. then we head toward the tower

Two guards knocked on our mansion door and signaled us to come with them. They lead us to a large room with a big stage. “I hope none of you get stage fright easily,” one guard said. We walk onto the stage one by one, and the crowd cheers each time. After we’ve all gone on stage, a man steps up and makes a short speech about a man who put the team together:Gidiam Fairchild! Gidiam proudly steps on stage and makes up a big lie about his greatness. “The group behind me,” he points to all of us, “have been trained and taught by the Arkans guard. I activated this team and did the best possible response. Now for the award ceremony!” We step back on stage and collect the medals that we chose earlier and then move to a table with an Arkens guard. He passes out Arkens guard sign-up sheets and says, “I hope you sign up so I won’t need to conscript you.” After a few minutes, he comes back and views our forms. Jerry, Jessica, Ahana, and I didn’t sign, and Kaho, Lucas, and Yangbar did. Then, a woman wearing high heels enters the room and tells us to follow her. She leads us underground and into a dark hallway. We walk until we reach a giant door. We knocked on the door: Ozmo, who owns the armoury, greeted us. “Welcome to the armoury, my friends!” he bellows, “I will give you a few minutes to think about what weapons you want. Then I will see if I can get it for you.” When we all decided what we wanted, we told Ozmo. Lucas wanted a knife of all elements, but Ozmo said he was taking stuff from somewhere, not making it, so Lucas chose an energy spear. Jessica got a wand of weaving; Yumo decided on the cloak of creeping; Jerry claimed a barrage bow; and I picked a flaming trident, capable of setting fires. Some weapons didn’t turn as expected, and we had to donate some blood to make some adjustments. When we came out, we had wounds and bruises, but our weapons were divine. We later searched the castle to bring to the guards. The castle was blocked by a big door, and Lucas easily smashed it open. I tried to set the castle on fire, but it was all made of stone. I would need lots of magic on my trident to do that. We entered the castle and I scanned the area. There was a big staircase and plenty of boxes lying around. Lucas took the first step, but it activated a trap: he got hit by a log and flew out of sight. After making sure there were no traps around, I stepped in. I went upstairs while Jerry search the boxes. After a while, Lucas came, too. Upstairs, there were a lot of rooms. I decided to step into a dark room. When I stepped in, a hooded figure jumped out with a sharp knife. I quickly knocked him back and stabbed him. Nothing happened for a second, but then his hood burst into flames; I could feel the heat on him. The figure raced down the stairs and collapsed, setting a box on fire, which Jerry, Lucas, and Yangbar analyzed.

An opportunity to success

It was morning when Artemis woke up. She found herself in a beautiful bed with a silk blanket and puffy pillows. She was wearing comfortable pajamas, and her cloth was way shinier than before. She quickly got dressed and headed for breakfast. While she munched on her bacon, someone knocked on the door. “I am here for you guys,” said the Archon guard, “I hope you’re ready!” He leads them to a stage. Where they being judged?! Punished!? Nothing like that at all! As soon as they entered the stage the crowd started cheering. “Your awards for your fight will be given after my story,”said an Archon guard. After the ceremony, they will be considered residents of the Archons. They then followed a huge man to an underground cave. “One person at a time,” he said, then he left. Artemis went first. “Hello,” said the man in the center of the room, “Letme introduce myself: I am Ozmo, and I can get you whatever you want.” “Um, can I get a cloak that can turn me invisible?” “Of course.” Then,Ozmo reached into a bag and took out a big cloak. “Give me the money.” Artemis handed 200 coins to Ozmo. He gave her the cloak and let her outside and said “Love doing business with you. Next.”

After all of them got their things, they went to the enchantress tower. “I will stay out with Ahana and Jessica just in case someone gets hurt”. Artemis said, “Look what we found!” Lucas said “Don’t, those are bombs!” Jessica said “If you shake it, it will explode. Put them back.”

Name:Ahana

The police took us to this place with this guy that came into the room. He asked us if we wanted anything that he could make from his magic. We said yes, and he asked us what we wanted. He also said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you give me some gold, there will be a better chance that it will have a curse.â&#x20AC;? Cody said he wanted a hat that teleports him wherever he wanted. He was so excited, the guy made it, and Cody tried it on. The hat worked and he gave him 200 pieces of gold. Oncehe got his teleportation hat, Cody used it a lot.

The Enchanter's Tower CHAPTER 7

The Enchanter’s Tower Jessica Later did I notice that it was not a person on fire, but a tarp. Then, someone yelled, “A tarp’s on fire!” It's quite obvious, I thought. A few of us tried to run away. Then there was a pop, then BOOM!!! There was an enormous explosion. I dug my feet in the ground and did not get hurt at all. Yumo and Lucas got hit with some bricks in the face (that is quite nasty). Ka Ho falls to the ground. Marcus is still upstairs. When the dust clears, we see that the tower is floating in the air: Marcus, looking horrorstruck, is looking at us from above. Well, let me tell you why this tower is floating. There once was a mage that owned this tower who loved dares and gambling. After a few years, this tower was abandoned, and no one could destroy it no matter what. Anyway, the tower was floating about 15 feet above us. Then someone (Lucas, I think) threw a rope, and him, Yumo, Ka Ho, and Yangbar climbed up the rope. Myself, Ahana, and Jerry move out of the way of the floating tower in case it falls and crushes us to death. After a few boring minutes, we see books falling from the tower. Ahana goes forward to look at the books. They were all textbooks, math books, and unimportant books. Lucas yells from above: “Don't lose them, save them! I don’t know why I'm saying this.” Jerry says to us “Well, I suppose the important ones must be burned, but I'll save them anyways.” Then a few people with a cart come up the hill. Jerry took out his bow and arrows and started to shoot at them, although all of them miss the strangers. If you are wondering what Ahana and I are doing, we are just standing there looking at Jerry shooting arrows. Then an arrow narrowly misses a dwarf. The dwarf started throwing purple fire energy ball things at Jerry. Jerry got hit by a few. I came back to my senses and started running toward the first floor. Ahana put on her teleporting hat and teleported right next to me, which gave me quite a scare. Later, Jerry ran after myself and Ahana. We dodge the energy balls the mysterious group throws at us. Then we see an Orc coming from the tower. With the Orc was, Yangbar,'' yelled Jerry. The Orc and Yangbar go up the hill to join the group with the cart. Then, Yangbar successfully squirms through the Orc’s grip. He makes a run for us. The energy balls kept trying to hit Yangbar, and it missed him. Meanwhile, Jerry kept on shooting arrows while Ahana and I watched Jerry shoot arrows. Then we went to the capitol. The guard leader, Rexard, says, “You will get 1200 gold pieces, and you guys will be the new owners of the Enchanter’s tower. As we left down a hallway, we saw two guards holding our luggage. Lucas asks, “Why are we being kicked out of the mansion?” The guard answers: “Well, you know, you own the Enchanter's tower so you can live there. The mansion was only temporary.” There was a lot of blood at the Enchanter’s tower. The first floor had absolutely no walls, just floors. There were also two ropes hanging from the tower. We climb up the rope to look. Lucas goes to the capitol a while later to upgrade his weapon. He arrives at the weapons room and finds some blood under the table. There was no Ozmo. He went to ask the guards where Ozmo was, and the guards said, “Well, we saw him in the ranch. You can look there.” Lucas goes to the ranch then says to himself, “Those guards could be tricking me. Maybe Ozmo wasn’t here.” Right when he wanted to leave, the ranch master came and started yelling and throwing horseshoes at him. He yelled, “Get out of here!”

I run out the door after the tarp catches fire. I tell my friends, “A tarp has caught fire!” I back away from the tower for good measure. Suddenly, a shockwave hits us all, and I get hit by a brick. “Ow!” Some people are better at dodging than others. We see the tower partially floating after the explosion: this is very strange. I try to teleport upstairs but fail because I cannot picture the tower. I decide to climb up the tower using a rope. We see the room that Yanbar was in for an unknown amount of time. I walk in and see a lot of books. I look through the books: they are ordinary textbooks. I start wrecking the room by throwing books down to the ground and tell my friends to protect them. They all look at me like I am crazy. Ka Ho starts helping me throw books down to the ground. I then see

some cultists fighting with Yumo and Marcus, so I throw my spear at them. I then see Marcus burn a cultist and get stabbed. I get back my lightning spear and attack the cultists. The cultist dies from my spear, and I am victorious. The fight continues with Yumo, Ka Ho, and myself against a lot of cultists. I keep advancing upstairs to both fight and to get information. Yumo comes with me upstairs. We look around and they have not finished burning the documents. I take some more documents so they cannot burn them later. I head downstairs and see a lot of people fighting with these Orcs. I go down the rope. The Orcs have rods that shoot energy blasts. I break the magical rods, but somehow, for a couple of seconds, they still work. I try to save Yanbar from an Orc, but another orc blocks

me. I stab my lightning spear into that Orc and Yanbar’s arm breaks. Another Orc uses his club and hurts me. “OWWWWWWWW!” After a long time of fighting, the Orcs leave. I am very hurt. Marcus heals me, and we are brought to the HQ of Sidnar. The commander of the archon guards comes in. He pays us a lot of money and explains how we own the enchanter's tower now. Cool! We also decide to keep the documents that the cultists were burning. We get kicked out of the mansion, and so we go back to the tower. We climb up the rope and go upstairs. They help me up the tower because I am almost dead from today's adventure. We rest for the night in the broken tower. I go to the capital again to try to find Ozmo. However, Ozmo is not in the

armoury! I look around the room and I discover some blood. I try to get some weapons from the void myself, but it does not work. I ask some people, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Where on Earth is Ozmo?â&#x20AC;? The first and second questions did not give me any info, but the third time I asked, a guard said he went to the stables. However, he was lying: it was a prank. How did I know this? Well, the stablemaster threw horseshoes at me when I came in. The search continues.

We went to the enchanter's tower, and we found lots of orbs. Then, someone found out that they were bombs, so we put them back and backed off. Then, a stupid thing set the orbs on fire, and we took some damage. We then found some people burning stuff, so we killed them. Some people came towards the tower, and we killed them too. We then headed back, and the government gave us the tower and 1200 gold, which is good.

There were bombs in the crates, and they were inside the tower. Boom! The crates exploded, just as I was attacking a giant goblin that was three times as big as me. I tried my best to swing my enormous sword, and I hit the Jackpot: I hit the giant goblin in the eye and it bled like crazy. I saw my friends down there getting hurt, but I stayed down low and watched them as they fought. I watched as one of my teammates became very low on health, so I risked it. The giant goblin had died, but before he did, he stabbed his sword into my body, which seriously injured me. Another goblin came up to me and I smashed him in the face with my enormous sword, which made him yell “Arghhhhhhh!” My teammates were at the bottom of the building while I was still at the top. I lept onto one of the goblins that was attacking one of my friends, and I took him to the ground. I reached in and thack, a goblin hit me with an arrow right on my shoulder which made me immediately let go of the goblin’s friend. There were too many of them, which made them hard to fight, so I ran away and tried to heal myself. Soon enough, we retreated and ran away until they were out of sight. Everybody was low on health, which was bad and would need treatment.

The hooded figure rushed to the boxes and collapsed, but the boxes caught on fire. BOOM!!! It turns out there were explosives in the boxes, and they blew up the first floor. I looked down to see a 15-foot gap between the second and first floor. I was on the second floor. My friends tossed me a long rope. I tied it against the railing, and they climbed up. We checked each room for cultists. While Lucas checked one room and threw some books, Yumo checked another room. Everybody else went to the rooms upstairs. Suddenly, Yumo rushed upstairs. “Why are you running?” I asked. “No reason, just run!” she yelled back. Two hooded figures charged after her. One was a Dragonborn, and one was a human. Jerry quickly reloaded his barrage bow and fired at them. Lucas chucked his spear at them. Jerry’s arrows nail them both, but Lucas’ spear, now lighting, whizzes right over their heads and almost hits Yumo and me. More cultists come and chase Yumo out the door. I surprised one of them from behind and skewered him with my trident. He burst into flames. Kaho leapt with his giant sword and slashed at the second one. Lucas grabbed his spear and threw it at them. The remaining group of cultists rushed to the exit. Jerry and Ahana, who were outside, are forced to fight. I was about to climb down to see the commotion when a large ogre appeared and began to question me. From my bounty hunting experience, I could tell that he was a criminal. He asked for my trident, but I said, “No way.” He replied, “Ah, well, that’s unfortunate.” He pulled out a rod full of purple energy, and his gang grabbed Yangbar. I distracted him by making up a conversation, and Yangbar made his way out of the ogre’s grip. The ogres backed off. The leader said, “Bad night, lads.” he said. He signaled his group and they walked out the door. Afterward, we met up with the Arkens guard and claimed the castle as a reward for our victory.

AT THE ENCHANTRESS’ TOWER:

Soon after Lucas put the bombs back, a rumbling came from upstairs. The rumbling that came from upstairs shook the bombs. “Noooooo!” BOOM! Before they knew it, the tower had

exploded. Bricks started flying out in every direction. Bam! A brick came flying at her head and hit her: Bam. Lucas started laughing at her. Then, Lucas himself was hit on the head with a brick and fell to the floor. Artemis stood up and walked into the tower with Ka Ho and Lucas. Lucas and Ka Ho went into one of the rooms and saw some books . At the same time, Artemis climbed up the stairs, putting on her invisible cloak. She peeked into the room to the east and saw 2 Dragonborn burning papers. Marcus looked in but didn’t see Artemis. Artemis was just about to take the sheet of paper when suddenly her cloak fell off. That gave Marcus a big fright. She started to run. “Why are you running?” “NO REASON, JUST RUN!”. Jerry was downstairs preparing to fight. When they got them down, she went out. Seeing rcs charging up to Jessica and Ahana, she went back in. She climbed up the stairs and saw Lucas throwing books. When the Orcs came in, she quickly ran upstairs to hide in a safe area. She waited and waited. When the fight was over, the archon guards escorted them to the governor. He said that the tower was now their’s and it is up to them if they want to upgrade their weapons. Artemis’ weapon was fine, so she didn’t. She left to write in her diary about what happened.

Name:Ahana

These people took them into this building. There were explosives and a tarp in the building caught on fire. Cody was outside, and he fell on the ground. The top floor of the building started to float, and the rest of the team began throwing books because they thought there were more explosives in them. Orcs suddenly came behind Cody. The rest of the team was fighting while Cody was standing, watching the action until they defeated the Orcs. The guards began to get all of our stuff from the mansion and put it in the tall building. Cody was so confused. Then, they told them that that big tower was theirs to keep. Cody was happy, but he liked the mansion and the tower is kind of messy.

New Home New Journey CHAPTER 8

Name:Ahana

With our gold, we fixed our tower. We bought a workshop, a magical study library, and opened the collapsed room. We also hired 3 guards. Finally, we fixed half of the wall. For the staircase, we fixed them ourselves with rocks. We cleaned the lab and hired people to design a workshop. We also cleaned the library and opened the collapsed room. Then, this guy said he could upgrade our house if we found these creatures. Cody was a bit hesitant, but then they started to find the creatures when Cody and his team went searching for the creature's egg. This random guy said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Here, I caught one.â&#x20AC;? We only saw his shadow, but we decided that we should keep on looking. When we got to our cart, our bags were all open but nothing was gone, so we just went back on the road.

A new home and a new journey Jessica Now that we are the new owners of the Enchanter’s tower, we need to fix this tower because it is a mess. There was a staircase dangling above the broken-down ground floor. We cleaned up the rubble and threw it away. Yumo discovered in a diary that Ozmo was the first owner of the tower. She also discovered that Ozmo asked a person called Garglemax the Mad to place an enchantment on the tower so that it would be preserved forever. However, the enchantment Garglemax made became a curse on the tower . Anyway, we decided to add some stone stairs because the old ones were already broken;we couldn’t exactly go up and down on ropes all the time. It looked quite weird because the tower was floating in the air. We used our 1200 gold pieces for our tower. In the end, our decision was the following: we repaired half of the broken ground floor, hired 3 guards, the empty lab on the first floor turned into a workshop, the collapsed room became a library, we created a magical study on the top floor, and the second room on the top floor was made up into a storage closet. We went to the top floor were the magical study was. There was a big circle on the floor: it was a place to summon things from another world, I think. We wanted to hire Garglmax the Mad so he could protect our tower with spells. We went to find Garglmax. We found him in an old house. As we walked deeper inside, we saw a very old man sitting on the ground. We stood there, not moving, just staring at the old man. Then, suddenly, the old man said, “Well, what do you want?” in a feeble voice. Lucas answers: “We want you to help us protect the Enchanter’s tower.” Garglmax said, “Ah...that tower. Let me tell you the full story. Well, one day a young man named Ozmo asked for me to make sure that the tower would be preserved forever. Well, I did help him, but the money he gave was not enough, so I turned evil. I made the enchantment a curse. So, I have some options to protect that tower, you can make your decision now.” Our group discussed for a moment and decided to choose vision, so you could see through invisible things and spells, and transportation, which could transport you to different places. Garglmax wanted an exchange: an egg of a scary monster. Well, that’s very dumb cause you gave us the enchantments before you got your money, I thought. After, we went to the Adventurer’s Rest to find three guards with the enchantments. We ended up finding Tibet the Mage, Smash the Ogre, and a woman with blue skin (I keep on forgetting her name.) We went back to the Enchanter’s tower and the guards were not happy because there were no ground floor walls. I suppose they thought this: They want us to guard a tower with no walls? I suppose that's why they wanted us. Then, someone behind us said, “You are summoned to the capitol by the Archon’s guard, please come as quickly as possible.'' We whipped our heads around to see a guard heading toward the capitol. We quickly placed Smash, Tibet, and the woman at their posts then headed to the capitol. Rexard, an Archon’s guard, said to us once we were comfortable, “You are having a mission to the Remnants of Pentos. You will have your reward after you finish your mission successfully. You will get all the things you will need to go to the Remnants of Pentos. Your stuff will be outside this room, waiting for you.” After that, he walked away briskly. We went outside to find a carriage waiting for us. We took off immediately. At dusk, we stopped to sleep. Lucas took the first watch, and I took the second watch. In the morning, we get back on the road. After a while, we heard Marcus say , “There's a man’s shadow at the front yelling and waving his arms. He’s yelling ‘Over here! I caught one!’” . We pull to the roadside and get out of the cart. Jerry shoots at the shadow. The shadow continues to yell: “‘Over here! I caught one!’” We stare at the shadow while it continues yelling the same thing over and over again. I ask, “What are you doing here?” Instead of answering me, he called “Over here! I caught on!” We stared at the shadow more until we went back to the cart. When we were inside the cart, we saw a horrifying sight: our belongings had been searched and our things were

thrown outside. We collected our things and noticed that none of our things were missing. I discovered that the shadow and the voice were fake. We continue to go and spend the night at a place next to the road. Then in the morning, when we took off after like 20 minutes, we saw a pure white horse tied to a tree. It looked well fed and groomed. Everyone stayed in the cart and watched as I went to touch the horse. The horse stayed calm. There was a saddle on the horse, too. I untied the horse from the tree and climbed on the horse. We took off on the path. The horse seemed good and well trained. After a while, we saw a Squat man walking toward us. I know that he is a traveling storyteller/performer. The man approaches and says “You must know me: I am very popular!” I replied, “I have no idea who you are.” The man says, “Ah well, foreign people. Where are you heading to?” I answered: “None of your business.” The man advised us: “Do not go to Pentos because it's highly dangerous, and few people can come back alive. I am one of the survivors. You will have no chance against it if you are going there.” I grunt. “I really doubt that.'' Just like that, we set off again, ignoring the man.

We spent all of our gold on the tower. We spent too much on guards. We spent 300 gold on the guards. Then, we went to see Garglemax the Mad to get enchantments. We wanted a barrier around the tower that would be 10000 times more reliable as the guards can die, but a wall can’t. Garglemax the Mad wanted an egg of a creeping horror for 2 enchantments: vision and transportation. I think we should just cancel the guards and get a barrier. After we got the enchantments, we headed towards the swamp to get the eggs. On the way, we saw some random clothing on the road. We ignored them and kept going. Then, we ran into a shadow that was waving and yelling, “I caught one!” We tried to figure out what it is. I shot it with my bow, but it went through. Then, someone said, “It’s an illusion.” So, we kept going until we found a horse. We took it with us.

I start the new journey to Pentos with my fellow friends. On the way, I was very hot, with sweat dripping down on my back. I want water so badly but I had no money, which is why we went to a party. We discuss if we should hire some guards to protect our tower. We finally agree and see guards marching around the tower with angry faces. We went inside the party and saw all kinds of monsters, goblins, and humans. I instantly went to drink a gallon of water: it tastes so fresh. I went to see my fellow goblins that were telling stories to each other about how they went on amazing adventures. I was kind of bored listening to them so instead I brought up a new topic. I said, “Are you scared of ghosts?” Then, suddenly, I saw all of my fellow goblins look at me. One of them said “N-n-no.” I could tell by his expression that he was lying. Every one of my fellow goblins said no, but I didn’t believe them. After I ate a bunch of snacks and food, my friends and I continued our journey to Pentos. Our stop at Gargalmax was pretty fun. We said goodbye to each other and then we met at this giant cave. There was a dragon and a shiny gold egg. My friends and I discuss the same thing: if we should take the golden egg. One of my friends argued that we should not take it because the dragon might injure and KILL us!!! My other friends then decide that we should take the egg and that we will be fine. We all make a plan to secretly go inside the cave and take the golden egg without the dragon noticing. I was so confident that if the dragon were to wake up, I would be the distraction. My other friend was scared to death (Almost). So, what happened was that we took the egg quietly. We were almost out of the cave when suddenly: ROARRRR! The dragon woke up and saw that we took the egg that he had. We ran as fast as we could out of the cave and tried to escape. The dragon was after our backs, but luckily we outran the dragon and he eventually gave up trying to chase us. We soon arrived at our destination and when we were at our home, I saw lots of fireplaces and couches. We all sat down and wondered what was inside that egg.

We build a staircase so we do not have to use ropes every time we go up. We clean up the tower and hire workers to build a workshop inside the tower. Now we can build crazy inventions! We also fix up the second floor and build a library. We also find out that the tower once belonged to Ozmo the Mage. The library contains a lot of books with an epic emerald rug. In the upper floor, there is a weird circle and we study it. I have read about these weird circles: they summon monsters and are used to draw things outside of the ethereal world that are dangerous. We also build a magical study that will be really useful when we need to cast powerful spells. In the 2nd room on the 3rd floor, we store random stuff since we do not have any more money to build things. We go to find

someone called Garglemax to cast an enchantment on the enchanter's tower. This will protect our tower. We get these enchantments on our tower called vision and transportation, but, in return, we have to pay him with these horror monster eggs. We look around the Adventurerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rest and we talk with Tom for a bit. We see some fierce people and ask them to give us some guards. The leader of the group agrees to give us some. We hear a voice and see someone, like a forest Elf, that will protect our building. We are summoned by an Archon guard. The captain says to go to Pentos for a mission. What a coincidence: we need to go to Pentos to get those eggs. We also get a cart, and Marcus will be on the lookout for dangerous things. We go to the remnants of Pentos, but then, suddenly,

Marcus sees some clothing that is scattered around the road. I warn the others that this could be the bodysnatcher; all thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s left of the victim is their clothing. I watch for the night, and Jessica thinks that some wolf howls. In the morning we look at the left side of the road and we see a weird shadow. I try to use magic to amplify my vision to see what is going on, but it fails. We try something, but he repeats a phrase. We are just staring at the shadow. Suddenly, someone searches our cart. It was a trick! We decide to keep on going because nothing seems to be lost. We decide to sleep, but Marcus sees a cool horse tied to a tree. I stay at the cart, but Jessica goes to investigate. We get the horse for us to ride on. We then see a weird man. The man asks us where we are going,

but we refuse to tell him. He warns us about the end of the road and tells us to go to Akavir. He thinks we will die if we continue: this must be a joke...right?

Jerry, Yumo, Ahana, Kaho, Jessica, Lucas, Yangbar, and I wanted to fix the castle with our gold. We hired workers to make adjustments to each floor. On the ground floor, we wanted a half fix and 3 guards. On the empty lab floor, we thought of a workshop, a library in the collapsed room, and a magical study on the upper floor. Jerry and Yumo hired workers for each floor. After the workers finish each floor, they look at the library. Jerry admired a shelf and tugs at an old-looking book: it doesn’t budge. Jerry shifts the shelf to the side and behind it is a small room with a single book. Jerry flipped through the book, but he didn’t know the language it was written in. He passed it to Yumo, and Yumo could read it because it was written in Elvish. The book, written by Ozmo, was about how he made the Enchanter's Tower unable to collapse because he was mad at someone called Gargalmax the Mad. After the workers finished building everything, we met up with Gargalmax at Adventurer's Rest. We asked him if he could help us upgrade the tower. He agreed, but in return, we had to give him an egg from a deadly dragon. I thought for a moment, then asked him for another upgrade: he wanted two eggs in return. Since he wasn’t a good businessman, he paid us in advance, gave us an address, and we went to find the dragon and its eggs.

A Kind Trade

Yumo

With the Enchanter’s tower now theirs, they decided to use the 1200 gold coins the governor had given them to renovate it. The tower was now floating in the air with a rope dangling from it. They couldn’t always climb up and down a rope, so they built stairs using $100. The tower was now weird looking since the stairs were so small. Indeed, any normal person you’d say that it was about to tip over any time now. But of course, they knew it was safe.

On the next floor, they decided to build a workshop where they could invent and create. They could also build stuff. All that stuff cost $200.

The next floor’s door was locked. It took a full hour to figure out how to open the door. Inside the room was a bookshelf full of books. However, the books would not budge no matter what. Only one book would move. As soon as Artemis touched it, the bookshelf opened: a single book lay there. One by one, they flipped through it. No one was able to understand the language, except Artemis. She is an Elf and the book was written in Elvish. The book, written by the tower’s owner, described how and why it was built. Then, something familiar struck her: this mage was Ozmo! Ozmo talked about this guy named Gargalmax the Mad and how he enchanted the tower. She told the others about it, and they decided to go

enchant it again. They went to the center of town and went to a little tent. Gargalmax was right there.

They wished for vision and transportation. In exchange, they promised him eggs from a dangerous dragon. They headed out the next morning.

The Cursed Swamp CHAPTER 9

Name:Ahana

Jerry switched with Cody and Cody is now the driver. We had to go across a swamp. However, it was nighttime, so we camped for the night. Cody was a watcher. He saw this rat run away, but Cody was not nervous at all. It was morning and Cody tried to find a place that would lead us to the same spot, but he could not. Instead, he went into the swamp. There appeared this big blue thing.6 Jerry electrocuted it and Cody was not hurt. There was fog and Cody tried to make it go away because it was cold. Cody ran into the fog. Codyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tired, so he went on the horse. Cody snuck up on the Dragonborn. The Dragonborn saw Cody, so Cody ran away. Cody saw Ozmo in a cage. Cody said he would pick the lock if Ozmo makes him something in return. Ozmo said okay, and Cody picked the lock.

The cursed swamp Jessica We keep going until we arrive at a very narrow path that the cart couldn’t fit through. So, we decided to leave the cart behind. Lucas went first on his horse, next was Ahana. Then I went behind Ahana on my horse. Then it was Jerry and Marcus after me. There were more people behind me, but I forgot the order. After a while, we see a swamp in front of us. We walk right into the swamp and continue going. There were fish and other marine animals swimming under the swamp water. Jerry shot 2 arrows at the water because we could hear the water splashing. Then, to my horror, I see a crocodile coming out of the water with 2 arrows sticking out of his jaw. Marcus tries to stab the crocodile, but the crocodile turns on Marcus and bites him on the leg. Meanwhile, I ignore them like nothing is happening. “I don't want the crocodile to bite me, no thanks. I'll leave the job to you guys!” I thought. Then I hear someone calling my name: “Hermione! Hermione!” I ignore the person and keep ongoing. Everyone else can also hear the person calling my name. The person keeps calling my name until I can't hear him anymore. We arrive in front of a mist of fog. We wait there for 120 minutes until Yangbar breaks the silence by asking, “What are we looking at?” We’re jerked back to our senses by that question, and Lucas tries to clear the fog. Nothing happens. He tries harder still: nothing happens. We discover that it might be resistant to magic. Lucas then tries to see through the fog with magic. It works, but he was there searching for 15 minutes and never told us the results. Then, it started to rain very hard. I was expecting the rain to make the fog go away, but nothing happened. We were there for an hour shooting spells and charms at the fog. I began to throw random things at the fog, like rocks and branches. I make a rock levitate and launch it into the fog, but it falls in the water. I notice that the fog stops all magic from entering it. There is a type of magic that can make the fog go away, but I didn’t learn enough to know what the magic was called. We decided to freeze the water and everything around us. I suggest we turn back and go back to the cart, but no one agrees. Then we notice that the water below us is rippling. Suddenly, something that looks like an eyeball comes out of the water and peers at Marcus. Between going in magic repelling fog and a scary eyeball monster, I'll take the fog. I thought to myself, Why don’t we go in the mist? Just like that, I rode my horse inside the fog. I was later followed by Yumo on her horse and Ahana. From a distance, I could hear fighting (Probably fighting the eyeball thing). As Yumo and I were on horses, Ahana had to run to keep up with us. Ahana is very short, so, I decided to give her a hand and let her sit behind me. After riding for a while, we arrived at a place that looked like the rubble of a town. Behind the rubble was a giant skull of a Dragonborn. We arrive at the foot of the skull. Yumo whispers to us, “Look! Look over there!” She was pointing at the skull. There were 3 Dragonborn on the skull. There was one looking into the distance, one sleeping, and one leaning on the skull. We believe this is the headquarters of the cultists. I leave my horse with Yumo and Ahana. I try to sneak into the camp while Ahana follows me. Yumo watches us sneak into the camp. The campsite was very big - it seemed way too big for 3 people. There were big footprints (Dragonborn, no doubt) on the ground. The footprints led to the edge of the water. The owners of the footprints seemed to have left. Ahana creeps past the sleeping Dragonborn. But, unfortunately, the Dragonborn hears her. The Dragonborn wakes up and chases Ahana. Ahana tries to escape. I ran away with Ahana, and we ran into Yumo. Yumo steps out and says, “Wait, let's talk about this, ok.” The 3 Dragonborn advance on us. There was a red Dragonborn, a white Dragonborn, and another Dragonborn. Curious, I ask the white Dragonborn “Are you the one that made the explosion at the south gate?” Then, suddenly, the white Dragonborn attacks and I throw him off. The red then Dragonborn attacks. Yumo escapes on her horse, and Ahana escapes by hiding

inside a big bush of leaves. The Dragonborn grabs hold of me. I struggle out of his grip and run away. Then, I hear footsteps behind me. I turn around and see the red Dragonborn chasing me. I look for Yumo. I then see a horse with a person on it. This person was also leading a white horse. I recognize the person as Yumo.

We kept on heading down the road towards the swamp. Soon after,the road started to get muddy. The mud is rising, and I got bitten by a crocodile. Someone else got attacked by a snake. When we arrived at the swamp, many of us had injuries. We headed into the swamp and saw a bunch of creatures in the water. We can figure out what they are, and we saw some vines coming out of the water. We then came to the front of the fog. We tried many ways to clear it. I tried to clear it using wind, rain, and snow, but the fog wouldn’t clear. The fog is both magic-proof and science-proof. Suddenly, a creature came towards me and attacked. I took some damage. Luckily, Ka-Ho dragged me away. If he didn’t, I would’ve died. We then saw Lucas coming with the eggs, but a vine started rising behind him. I shouted, “Science!” and threw a handful of mud at the vine’s eye. It went blind, and Lucas came out, safe.

We went into the fog and it was dark. We started walking in and saw a giant swamp that had been blocking our road. My friends and I started walking near it when a crocodile sprang out and bit Jerry's leg. It pulled Jerry down into the swamp and injured him . Thankfully, Marcus saw Jerry get hurt. He found a pocket knife and stabbed the crocodile right in the eye. But the crocodile didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist: it pulled Jerry harder into the swamp. I lept to Jerry and pulled him out of the swamp, just in time, before he drowned. The crocodile gave up and swam back down to the bottom of the swamp. We continued until one of my friends was choked by some sort of ghost. We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t see anything but the fog. We tried to help our friend, but we were failing. I turned around and saw another ghost fly by. Its shadowy figure had been camouflaged by the fog, but I saw its body and his evil red eye.

We were driving a cart to find the Creeping Horror at the Remnants of Pentos. After a while, Jerry got tired, so Ahana drove the cart. I scouted ahead and saw a swamp. If we kept driving, we would get stuck. So we left the cart, took the horses, and followed a path into the swamp. We heard a splashing noise as we entered, and lots of silverfish leaped out of the water. We pulled out our weapons as a rumble from the swamp occurred. A massive crocodile jumped out. It bit Jerry and began to pull him into the swamp. I stabbed the crocodile, but its hard scales blocked it, and it damaged me. Lucas thrusts his spear into the swamp and electrocutes the water. This sends an unpleasant feeling to everyone near the water. Meanwhile, Yumo found a golden horn and showed it to Lucas. Lucas knew about the horn. It’s called the Horn of Battle, and whenever it’s blown, people who heard it do better in battle. Suddenly, a bunch of fog appears and blocks our vision. We wait for it to clear, but it stays there. We didn’t want to risk going into the fog, so we tried throwing rocks and using magic, but nothing happened. Finally, the smoke disappeared and the Creeping Horror rose from the water. Lucas, Yangbar, and I fight it. It opens its giant mouth and I throw a dagger at its eye. It doesn’t work. We repeatedly stabbed the monster, but it's too strong. We flee and try to find another way to get its eggs.

We enter the outskirts of Pentos. We continue straight and Jerry has us switch drivers, and then we enter Pentos. We go through the city and Marcus sees purple liquid. We leave the cart and get the necessary objects. I go to sleep but Yumo will remain awake. When I wake up, there is some fog blocking some of our vision. We walk around the swamp and Marcus sees some animal tracks. We enter the swamp by following the tracks. I go first on the route and I hear a splashing noise. I ready my lightning spear in case something happens. Some people are getting attacked by crocodiles. Ouch, this is bad. I try to electrify the swamp but it hurts me. However, I am okay and both Yumo and Ahana are okay, too. I have a weird sensation that something is grabbing or

touching my leg. Yumo brings back a horn. I recognize this. I tell yumo about it and we hear stupid voices in our heads. I climb onto this rock for safety and I prepare my super spear. I try to clear the fog but it does not work, so I use magic to see better, but I see nothing big except for a dragon skull. I Study the skull and I see a â&#x20AC;&#x2039; figure studying that skull and then he speaks in a weird language. We all try to clear the fog but it does not work. A squonk rises up but it goes back down. We see some ripples of water, so I electrify it. However, it does not work. Then a monster comes towards me. I stab it, but miss. Yanbar also attacks, but it works! Some of my friends run away but I fight and cut him into pieces. However, the monster squeezes Yanbar and I as payback. I hear good music in my head and

then I get swallowed. I try to break free but it throws me away, however, I am still alive. Marcus then attacks the horror and I cast lightning against the monster, however it fails. I retreat. We go to the edge of the swamp and I decide to search the monster's egg. We see a few more eyes and I ask Jerry to shoot but he refuses. We then see a weird hill and when we focus on it, we can see a bunch of sticks. I investigate it and I look and see 4 rocks and take all of them. I try to jump but slip, and then I see a tendril. I hope these rocks are those horror eggs.

A TRICKED MESSAGE

YUMO

On the journey to the swamp, a piece of mail was dropped by a pigeon. It was a well-dressed pigeon with a tie and a suit and hair, all nicely combed. The shoes might have been too heavy and big for any little pigeon, but it was still as clean as flawless water. It flew onto the windowsill of the cart and told Jerry to stop. “This is a letter from the governor. It is my honor to give it to you. Good luck!” It said politely and flew away. That must be some kind of magic, thought Artemis. A kind of magic that can affect other living things to talk. Animals, to be specific. That was totally advanced magic, unlike hers. She jotted that down and looked at the others. Unlike her, they were focusing on the letter, not crazy bird business. She came and looked at the letter: Hello dear friends, Like you saw, my pigeon, Sifi, is a very talented pigeon. He can talk, unlike other animals. Her friends just rolled their eyes when Artemis nodded in agreement. As you know, she was from the mountains and she Looovvveedd animals. Moving on to the main point: why I sent you this letter. I have two reasons: 1. To show off Sifi, my pigeon. Yes, you are getting annoyed, aren’t you? My Sifi is beautiful and well-trained, you see!? 2. Now, listen carefully. Over the past few years, I’ve done a ton of research about Pentos and finally found one book that helped me: ‘the lost city of today.’ That book helped me a ton, and that’s why I mailed it to you! I sent you here for a purpose. I want you to, firstly, get 2 eggs of the creeping horror. You’llbe the first ones to travel the swamp! So are you with me? Please answer as soon as possible. Sifi will be right behind you!

Signed The Mayor They looked at each other. It was too late to disagree. Why wasn’t he going there himself, though? It was his idea. There was so much they didn’t understand about Pentos. Well, it was too late so they had to go. Even if they’d die. So they wrote a letter and gave it to the bird. Artemis was more interested in the bird then the adventure, though, so she wrote a letter to the mayor about the bird. A few days passed while Artemis hogged the book to read, and she remained silent through the next few meals until one day at lunch. “Oh my god, guys!” She said suddenly. Her voice boomed so loud that the table could have fallen. “What?” said the group. “We’ve been tricked!” She then showed them the line in terror. They all gasped.

“All died and never returned. Good luck to you, because you hold your death!”

“Can we go back?” One asked. “No, I’m afraid not. We agreed to do it, so…” Her voice trailed off. “We are todie!?” One asked. “I’m afraid so,” she said. For the next journey, Artemis tried to stay away from the book. Others read the line over and over. “ No, no, no! I don’t want to die!” Then he burst into tears. “Guys, we’re here.”

Help! YUMO

There they stood in front of a pure blue swamp. It looked nothing like a swamp. In fact, it almost looked like the pond at the castle. They knew the cart would get stuck so they took the horses which Artemis rode one and Jerry rode one. Jessica rode a horse she found on their way there and it was the one she rode all along. They stepped in with Lucas and Ahana in lead and jerry last. The first meters were fine. Then an alligator started to attack Jerry and then Marcus. Half way though the journey, Artemis found a horn. Not any kind of horn, a brown and goldish one. It had diamonds of all kinds. Sapphire, amethyst, diamondâ&#x20AC;Ś She asked Lucas what it was, since he traveled a lot, and he said that it was the horn of tavern. When you blow it you get courage. They walked and rode till fog covered all. They started using magic to clear it away but the magic didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t clear it away. Just then a monster all black started to attack. Jessica rode into the fog. Artemis followed so did Ahana. She traveled by foot so that was tiring. They ran till they were far away.

The Heroes Return CHAPTER 10

Name: Ahana Cody and Ozmo ran away from the dragonborn. The creatures tied Cody and Ozmo up. Cody untied them and they ran away. Then Ozmo wanted to eat the egg that we came here for. Theothers said “you cannot have them,” then he told Cody that he can make whatever weapon Cody wanted after saving him from the cage. Cody said that he wanted a sword that never breaks and that can break a magical spell. Ozmo asked the group if they wanted something and they said “yes.” Ozmo said “I will make it if you give me something,” and they said “ok.” However, he never told them what he wanted until they got their stuff. Then Ozmo said “I want those 2 eggs,” and we had to give them to him. We gave them to Ozmo and now we have only one egg. Now Yumo, Jessica and Cody are going to the mountains .

The heroes return Jessica After walking aimlessly for a while, I see a person sitting on a horse guiding a white horse. From the looks of it, the person with my horse was Yumo. I called “Hey! Yumo, come here!” Yumo came toward me from the mist. We were briefly reunited when we heard a set of footsteps walking towards us. We hid behind some bushes to see who it was. We saw Yangbar’s shadow a distance away from us. Yumo yelled “Yangbar, it’s us, come!” As he came, he said “You gave me quite a fright. But where is your little goblin friend?” In response I said sadly “Oh, Ahana! I think she’s lost because we don’t know where she is.” Yangbar walks towards the skull. After a moment of hesitation, Yumo and I followed him up. Yangbar led the way. We saw the skull’s outline slowly emerge through the fog. Meanwhile, Yangbar was muttering things like “There was a fight here and these footprints lead this way.” He was right. The white dragonborn and I fought there before and the footprints were mine, when I escaped. Yangbar continued to murmur to himself. We crept at the bottom of the skull. There were symbols on the walls that we did not recognize, we looked around at the symbols. Then Yangbar said “Hey, I recognize these.” He pulled up his shirt, and on his shoulder was a mark. Yangbar muttered some names, there were also some names next to the engravings. Yangbar said all of the names until the last one. Then, after Yangbar moved on I said “Hey, Yangbar this says ‘Yangbar’ next to the symbols. Then I looked at the sign on the wall and the sign on Yangbar’s shoulder and discovered that it was the same. I pointed that out to Yumo and Yangbar. After a few moments of silence Yangbar yelled “Me! Yes! I am Yangbar!” Then, at the top of the stairs, a door opened and there stood a dragonborn. He asked menacingly “Hey, you! What are you doing here?” Yangbar took out his sword and attacked the dragonborn. I attacked, too. Yumo took out her bow and arrows and shot toward the dragonborn. The dragonborn, outnumbered, was dead a while later. Yangbar opened the door at the top of the stairs. I was behind Yangbar. Yangbar and I peered through the door to see Ahana tied up with two dragonborn over her. Ahana saw the fallen cutis and used his sword to cut her rope. She took the sword and freed Ozmo in the corner (I just noticed him). Meanwhile, Yangbar chanted in a different language but nothing happened . Looking slightly confused, Yangbar threw the cultist out of the skull's eyehole. He chanted again but a cultist attacked from behind. He threw his dagger at the cultist, which hit his shoulder. The cultist advanced on Yangbar. At that moment I hit the dragonborn on the head and he crumbled to the floor. Yumo had run away with Ahana and Ozmo. They were waiting outside for us. I noticed that he was the white dragonborn at the south gate. He spat blood at my feet and said “An army advances on your city. You are too late.” Then Yangbar finishes him off. Yangbar sat on the floor and started muttering to himself again. Then he got up and together we headed downstairs. We headed back to the others. The others were either throwing things in the swamp, sharpening swords or doing some other things. Yangbar yelled “Look what I can do.” He started to chant the weird language again but, again, nothing happened . Yangbar said “I think the magic-repelling fog is permanent. I think I lost my powers.” Ozmo snaps his finger and fire appears. He says “Nope, not permanent'' We started talking about our adventurers when Lucas spotted Ozmo approaching the eggs that the other group got. Lucas says “Oh! Don’t touch the them.” Ozmo said that he was hungry. After a while, he confessed that he wanted to examine the egg. After a while, we climbed on the cart. I climbed on my horse and we got ready. Lucas was on lookout and Jerry was the driver. Lucas was really bad at lookout so we traded places. In front I saw a valley which seemed to be in order. They were doing some upgrades on their weapons in the cart with Ozmo. When it was my turn, I asked for an invisibility cloak in exchange for an egg. There was only one left, but we couldn’t give it to Ozmo (Since it was really precious). Then I saw a big strange shadow that seemed to be

making a lot of dust. Then I realized that it was not a shadow but a black army. The dust was kicked up by the army. Ahana and Yumo escaped into the mountains. I decided to delay the army. I went toward the army and saw some people with swords went to the front and 3 people on black horses came to the front. I took out my wand and made rocks shift into some rock column things, they smashed at the army. The more I waved, the more columns appeared. The three people on horses weaved through the rocks to get to me. Satisfied with my work, I pursue Ahana and Yumo. As I rode, I saw the 3 people on black horses pursuing me. I got to them in no time because there were 2 people on 1 horse. “I think I shook of the 3 people.” I thought. We arrived at the mountains and saw an elf. The elf looked at us, shook her head and moved away. Then we saw Yumo’s mother. She looked stunned to see us, then slowly she smiled warmly at us.

We got out of the swamp and all of us met up. Yanbar went into the fog to find the girls, and the rest of us stayed out of the swamp because we were actually going to die. Lucas almost died from getting swallowed by the creeping horror for 10 seconds. Yanbar went into the fog for a while, then he finally came out with Ozmo and the girls . We got on the cart and started driving back, and on the way someone saw a cultist army coming toward Sidnar. We drove faster, and the girls left us and went to the mountains. When we arrived at Sidnar, they sealed the city soon after we went in and the army started arriving.

Yangbar had just entered the fog. He walked deeper in when suddenly he saw a monster. He told his friends that and they all ran away, Yanbar then meets with Jessica and Yumo. Yanbar had no idea what he was doing. Jessica and Yumo tried to tell Yangbar where he came from and why he was running. Yanbar said “I don't know what I am doing”. Yangbar had lost all his memory from the monster he was running from. Then Jessica suddenly saw Ahana and Ozmo trying to run. Jessica told them to follow her so she could track what Ahana and Ozmo were doing. They followed them into a temple. Ahana and Ozmo looked back and saw Jessica ,Yangbar, and Yumo following them so they asked what they were doing. Jessica said that Yangbar had lost his memory and they needed their help. They said they didn’t know a lot of magic so they would try their best. Ahana did a spell she knew and Ozmo tried to find a spell.

After waiting for a long time with the monster eggs, Marcus, Kaho and I see Ahana, Jessica, Yanbar and Osmo come back. Who knew Osmo was here? When Osmo sees my eggs, he immediately offers a deal for them in exchange for good weapons for my friends and I, but I say â&#x20AC;&#x153;no.â&#x20AC;? We are going outside of the swamp, but for some reason Osmo is not floating like he usually does. I do not know why. After we get out of the swamp, Ahana gets an indestructible blade that disables magic and I get to make my lightning spear controlled by my hand in exchange for 2 of my eggs. After that, she tests her dagger on me, and suddenly I cannot use magic and I am filled with bad memories of when I could not use magic. After that experience I switch places with Ahana, while Osmo

upgrades our weapons on the trip back home. Jerry gets an electric barrage bow, Yumo gets a pair of goggles, Jessica gets an invisibility cloak, Marcus gets more fire for his trident and the big sword of Kaho grows stronger. As we head back to Sidnar, we see a big army is coming our way and they do not look like friends. Some of our friends split apart from me. Marcus, Jerry, and Kaho leave, however without some of our horses we move a bit slower. We see some archon guards coming along that are helping some citizens into Sidnar. We head back to our tower for some well-deserved rest after our adventure. Still, our creepy elf guard is something I must watch suspiciously.

By Marcus We successfully take the eggs from the Creeping Horror and almost flee the swamp, but then we remember that we have to wait for the others to finish our mission. We wait for a few minutes, but they still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come. We shout for them but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear us so we just sit and sharpen our swords. After a boring hour-and-a-half the others come back, and we drive to Maxwell to give him his eggs. After, we go to Ozmo and upgrade our weapons. Jessica gets an invisibility cloak, Ahana gets a sword with an unbreakable edge, Yumo has a hat for seeing invisible things, Lucas gets the power to control his spear, Kaho makes his sword even sharper, and I increase the burning in my trident. We only want to give him one egg, but he says that he will make the weapons so we eventually give him three eggs. Afterwards, we go back to our castle and get some news . A dragon-born army is going to Sidnar. So we all split up and get ready to fight the army.

The Word HOME Ahana naturally caught up, breathing hard and quickly. Jessica let her hop onto her horse and they rode until they saw a dark orange-red. It got brighter and brighter every step they took until they realized it was fire. They rode a little more and they saw a camp. The three of them got off of the horses and crouched back into the bushes. Without any warning, Jessica creeped toward the camp. She was not so good at it. Ahana went, too. She was way better than Jessica. Ahana crept toward a sleeping dragonborn. It woke up and saw Ahana. Not good. “Oh, um, hi!” “Hey, what do you think you’re doing? Guards, get them!” “Hey, hey,” Artemis yelled from behind. “Let’s talk this over-” ”No! Get her!” Hyaa! Artemis was gone. A few minutes later, Jessica’s horse ran to her. She must have left her behind. Eventually she found Jessica and Yangbar on their way. They went back for Ahana. They saw miniature footprints and Yangbar sniffed the floor. “The goblin was here, but it was lifted by a dragonborn and thrown into this place” he said, pointing at a cell . “What are you waiting for, let’s go,” he said. “I’m not sure, I’ll stay behind.” Artemis said. As everyone knew, she hated violence. So she stayed behind. It was fine by Yangbar. A few moments later, ‘cling clang,’ ‘boom!’ A dragonborn fell out of the cell and hit the ground with a solid ‘bam!’ Artemis hated this violence, so she rode off.

On the way back, Ozmo thanked them by giving them things. Artemis got a cap that can see invisible things. We were almost to Sidnar when an army marched toward it looking like they were supposed to capture it. Artemis thought that it was a great time to visit home in the Dal’Gal mountains. Ahana and Jessica came as well. When they arrived, a familiar person looked at them. He blinked and shook his head. Further in, a large group of deer made Artemis jump off of her horse. She went and hugged them. She then spotted her mother welcoming her home with her arms wide open.

The Siege Begins CHAPTER 11

Name:Ahana Yumo wanted to show them around. They had breakfast and then went to explore.They had a picnic and it started to rain. The rain didn't touch them. Then, there was an old man behind them. Cody knew his name was Quinnip; he said to come under the tree, and Cody was cautious. Quinnip then said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you want to have dinner with me?â&#x20AC;? Cody said no. Quinnip left and they ate soup. While they were eating, they saw these dancing lights. Cody and Jessica went to follow them, and Yumo stayed. When Cody and Jessica followed the dancing lights, they saw these girls pointing at them. Jessica threw a pebble at them to see if they were ghosts. The girls then asked if they wanted to be a part of their wizard gang. Cody and Jessica said yes, and the girls disappeared. Then, Cody and Jessica went to Yumo to ask her if she knew them. Yumo said no. Yumo saw Ozmo and Cody tried to ask Ozmo what he was doing, but nothing came out of his mouth.

The siege begins Jessica We arrive at Yumo’s home, and she shows us around the mountains. There are a lot of beautiful plants and animals. We eat lunch below a tree after our walk in the wild. The rain’s pouring over us, but it doesn’t touch us. We hear someone muttering to himself, and a very old man emerges from the bushes. Ahana says, “He’s Quinnip, the sorcerer.” He mutters something that I didn't hear. Ahana approaches the wizard, followed by myself and Yumo. He leads us to the village. He says to Yumo’s family, “There is a magical cloud above.” He then mutters a warning that I didn't hear either, and wanders back in the forest. We enjoy another meal at night with Yumo's family. We were distracted by bright yellow dancing lights. We go to see what they are. Ahana follows, but Yumo says she doesn’t want to. We see the figures of 2 girls pointing at the lights materialize. I take a pebble and I throw it at the girls. We hear, “Ah!” The girls turn around, and the lights stop for a moment. The girls and the lights approach us. They say, “Don't do it again.” We ask who they are and what the lights are. The one girl says, “How about this: you give us the answers we want, and we will give you the answers you want if you answer our questions.” “The lights are fairy lights,” says the big girl. They ask, “What's 6 × 36?” I say, “144.” They say “Just checking that you're not zombies''. I confess that I was checking if they were ghosts by throwing the rock. They ask us to join their group called the Wizard Gang. We refuse. We talk for a while and discover that the small girl is called Beck and the big girl is called Sam. We talk some more and fly around with some magic. Sam says that it's time to leave. Beck doesn’t want to leave. Sam says, “Hey, look over there.” Ahana and I turn around and see nothing. The next moment the girls disappear. We went back, stumbling because there were no more lights. We say to Yumo, “We met 2 girls that use magic. They asked us to join their gang called the Wizard Gang.” Yumo doesn’t know anything about those girls and their gang. The next day, we go into a forest with Yumo leading the way. We walk for a while, not really focusing on anything. The forest has dwarves. Then, we see Tom on a donkey. Tom is someone from the Adventurer's Rest at Sidnar. After talking for a while, he goes down a hill. We go back to Yumo’s home to eat. After a while, we see the fairy lights again. We continue to eat, ignoring them. The next morning, we wake up and hear Beck's voice. She yells, “Sam! Sam!” Ahana, Yumo, and I see what's going on: Beck is searching for her sister, and her voice is becoming louder. Yumo wears her tiara that can help her see invisible and magic. Beck goes deeper into the woods. She arrives in front of a Bulgara. She hits the Bulgara with yellow blasts. The Bulgara chases her, and Beck runs. I use my wand and point it at the Bulgara. A jet hits the Bulgara. The Bulgara’s arm changes into a crab arm. I do it again. The Bulgara shrinks, but he's much faster now. Then, suddenly, the Bulgara disappears. We find a cabin in the forest with Ahana and Sam. Sam says, “This is where my teacher lives. She’s very nice.” The Bulgara appeared suddenly, but we were already in the cabin. Beck is also inside the cabinwith Yumo, holding some tea. Tom is pouring tea for us, too. Then, we hear someone say, “I wish you would stop doing this.” It was June. “Beck and Sam are my students.” She was the maid at the Adventurer’s Rest. June goes outside and snaps her fingers and the Bulgara disappears. She yells, “Ozmo! Ozmo!” Ozmo comes out. June says, “Leave Beck and Sam alone.”

We went back to the tower and healed. The next morning, we went outside and found out that the marketplace was robbed. The dock and the ships were burned, and only the food was stolen. Everyone was going to starve to death, so we investigated and found out that the gentleman took the food

.Jerry had just made a rain cloud that followed the dragonborn army with poisonous rain with his magic. The dragonborn army had just spotted Jerry and called for help. Marcus made a magical move that saved Jerry and felt power over the dragonborns. Then we went into the forest and met a man that's name is Quinnip. It was apparently one of our inmateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends. Marcus had just woke up in his bed and he feels like there is someone in his room trying to steal something. He just couldn't get the sense of who is in his room, suddenly he heard a whoosh and saw something past by. There seems to be a ghost in his house. He ignored it and he did not believe in ghosts so he continued sleeping. But the ghost kept on making noises and Marcus saw it past by his bookshelf a couple of times when he opened his eyes. I had just gone with my fellow inmates to Sidnar. We had put up a fight with an army and a siege began. In the battle we were injured and we retreated, we ran away and they kept following us. We had no choice but to use magic and turn ourselves invisible. We started heading to Sidnar, we wondered what it would look like.

The cultist army encircles our city. They begin a big siege. At the tower, I brainstorm ideas with Jerry to defeat the army so that we are not doomed. Jerry and I want to conjure a poison raincloud to attack the army, so we gather the ingredients and begin prepping the spell. We use our energy, and the clouds start gathering, but we face resistance from the cultists. Something from the army is blocking our magic. I try to push forward, but I am very tired and out of gas. I barely get them, and while we may not get to hit the cultists, Marcus helps us with the spell. The poison rain hits them, and we injure many of the cultists. It was not enough to break the siege, but it was successful and showed that we are not going down without a fight. After that ordeal, I fell asleep. Suddenly, I

awake in a lake, and our guards scream that there was an attack. I search frantically for weapons, but I cannot find them. Our guards then burst out laughing, and I figured out that this was a prank. We dry off and go to see Yanbar in the workshop. Yanbar says that he does not know the full true story. He instead tells us the story of the 7 chosen ones. Gabriel was useless, and the citizens were the mean people. We get summoned to destroy Baldwin because Gideon is paranoid about a political lawsuit. Silva wakes us, and we see that the guards are very concerned. It is like a time of starvation is coming. We go to the market and see chaos in the city. We also see that both the boats and ports were burned. But how? As we go back to the tower, we hear someone say something

about a new generation at 6 pm. I don't know what this is, but I will investigate.

I wake up in my room. I sat up to scan the room. It looks like somebody has been in my room. I hear some sounds coming from the closet: it was Sylvia. She says, “Shhh…” and gestures to me to come. She shows me that she was going to prank Jerry and Kaho,who were still sleeping, by pouring two glasses of water on them. She hands me a glass and motions to Lucas. I carefully walk over, and she nods.We then dump the cold water on them. They gasp and move around, trying to grab their weapons. Eventually, they find out that it was a prank and we all laugh. I wake up again from Sylvia tapping on my shoulder. “Wake up,” she says. I get out of bed and follow Sylvia. Jerry and Lucas also came along. We got to the marketplace, and there were two people inside. Sylvia starts to go back, but we go forward and she follows us. We sneak past the two people and go to the back. We smell smoke as we go in deeper. Finally, we get to the back and see 16 ships with giant holes. Sylvia tells us that there was lots of food inside, but it has all been stolen. Now, we suspect that the cultists took the food, but we don’t know how they could have taken it.

Magic Gone Wrong

Fresh air, cool breeze, and light wind: that was all the Dal’Gal mountains needed for a perfect August day. They had been there for 1 day. They were having soup that Leto made. Leto was Artemis’ mother. At half-past six, Jessica and Ahana went for a walk. Artemis decided not to join and told them to wear a coat. A few minutes later, they returned and ate some homemade apple pie. The next morning, they travelled down the mountain and bought some apples and peaches. They then went to her brother’s wood factory and gave him his lunch. In the evening, they saw a little girl screaming: “Sam? SAM! It’s not fun anymore! Come out! Please!”. The little girl kept on screaming, and, with every scream, she grew more worried. Artemis put on both her cloak of invisibility and her cap of seeing. She saw a devil! A full-size devil, right behind the bushes!It started chasing the girl! Artemis quickly picked up the girl and ran. The girl gave her directions to her house, and Artemis ran there.

Ozmo's Secret CHAPTER 12

Name:Ahana Ozmo cloned people to sell-off, that is why he asked for hair and blood. Cody did not give Ozmo his hair or blood, so there are no clones of Cody. Everyone had to deal with their clones, but Cody did not have to. Cody and Jessica bid farewell to Yumo and her grandmother. Cody and Jessica then went to Sidnar.

Ozmo’s Secret Jessica Inside the cabin are June and Tom. Tom asks June, “Why don’t you start with this story?” June replies, “You're older, so you should start.” Tom says, “I used to fight when I was young. One day, I travelled to Akavir and saw some people. I saw a person putting bags into a cart, and a girl crying in the cart. I had a fight with them, but after a while, they slowly turned to stone. I looked around and saw the little girl and, still crying,t she was pointing at the people.” Sam asks curiously, “What happened next?” Tom led Sam and Beck to bed. While he took them to bed, June continued Tom’s story: “I was the crying girl in the cart, I knew nothing about my parents nor of my identity. I was an orphan. Since then, Tom’s taken care of me. We have tried to figure out who I am for a long time.” In my head, I could see a girl crying in a cart while Tom was fighting people. “We travelled all around the world,” said Tom, who returned from taking the girls to bed. “Finally, we discovered some useful information about her: she’s a descendant of the chosen seven. She couldn't reveal herself to anyone because the cultists would try to hunt her down . They are now trying to revive a Dragonborn of the chosen seven: Roderick.” “To revive Roderick, they need to use dark magic. They need very specific ingredients,something from the chosen seven like blood or hair would do. The problem is that they need the person to be alive to do that,” said June darkly. “June’s family is l dead by the hands of the cultists. We believe that June is the last descendent of her family bloodline. Then, a few weeks ago, we discovered something really horrifying: Brodgar, one of the seven heroes, was brought back to life. He can talk, eat, drink - everything we can do,” said Tom. “Also, Yangbar died a thousand years ago, yet he is currently travelling with you guys. Our conclusion is that Yangbar was resurrected, like Brodgar,” explains June. “No one has that power, except Ozmo. We believe that the cultists can't revive Roderick. But, with Ozmo on their side, they can now resurrect him. Ozmo can clone a person by using their essence. “We know that the cultists can take two types of essence, unless they catch them, me, or a descendent of Gabrielle. Tom believes that the cultists managed to hire Ozmo because as long as you have money, he’ll work with you.” Tom, in a mysterious voice, says, “You don’t want to have a clone of yourself because you may be killed by your clone. Your clone could then pretend to be you and kill many people.” June asks, “You didn't give any of your essences to Ozmo, did you?” I reply: “I did. I gave him a piece of my hair.” Yumo says “Same.” Only Ahana said nothing. Tom says “Well, then think of something that you, and only you, know about yourself. Tomorrow we will be going to Sidnar, would you like to come?” Ahana and I decide to go to Sidnar with them. When we arrived at Yumo’s house, we see Yumo’s grandparents at the front door looking very worried. After checking that we were all right, we went to sleep. In the morning, while we were eating breakfast, we heard the doorbell ring. At the door was Tom and June. Ahana and I join them at the door and say goodbye to Yumo and her family. We disappear with June and Tom.

There is someone named Kylie, and she is an absolute piece of trash. Nonetheless, she is joining our party. Anyways, the gentlemen want us to come with them, but I didn't go. I instead went back to the tower to make it rain bread. Indeed, it did rain bread, but only for 10 seconds. This is because Kylie wanted it to stop raining bread, and she rolled higher than me. Because of this, it stopped raining bread. I start to rage quit. I want to kill her, but I can't because I didn't roll high enough. I almost die, I can't kill her, and I rage quit for the rest of the day.

As we continue our investigation, people appear to be nervous because I am levitating my lightning spear. We first investigate where the food went. I track the trail and realize that the food storage is in the swamp. This has to be the work of the gentleman. I creep through the swamp. I make a bit of noise, but no one notices. The others are making too much noise, and a statue breaks. Suddenly, a group comes out and shoots lasers at us. I am hit. We recognize this group as the one that stormed the enchanter's tower. A large orc emerges and takes out a giant club. I use a medkit to heal myself and am now okay. I go into the main hallway, meet with the gentleman, and question him about food. He reveals that he had the food all along. The gentleman wants me to kill Gideon for

food, but I do not want to. We walk back to the tower to make it rain food. A girl approaches us and claims that Yanbar is on a rampage. Jerry wants to go back to the tower to make it rain food. We teleport to Yanbar and destroy things. I am mad at Ozmo for seemingly causing this mess. I question Ozmo once again. I scream at Ozmo, and he finally agrees to show me why Yanbar is mad. We go inside a room, waiting with anticipation. With Ozmo leading, he takes us through and shows us the tomb of the heroes. He shows the tomb of Yanbar with an accompanying Yanbar sword. I debate whether our Yanbar is the real Yanbar, but this thought is cut short by Ozmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waving hand. As he waves, we see some tanks appear. We see that our friends are in the tank, and now I understand: they

are clones! A tank person wakes up, and I ask Kylie why there are clones of us. She does not know the answer. I want to murder the lifeless clones, but Kylie does it first. As the clone of KaHo runs, I follow him. Yanbar runs alongside him. Kylie is also trying to kill fake KaHo. Yanbar attacks Kylie because she is a maniac. Hurt, I am restrained from some energy. I understand it all now.

By Marcus Kaho, Jerry, Lucas, and I searched for the individual who stole the food. After a few minutes of investigating, I figured that it had to be the gentleman who stole the food. I knew where he was, so we snuck inside the gentleman’s building. As we entered, a gang, including a giant orc, emerged from fthe corner. I remembered that the one orc was part of the Arkens Guard. They see that Lucas was injured and offered to heal him, but Lucas attempted to heal himself. Later on, Ozmo told us to follow him. He led us to Yangbar. Yangbar looked super mad and was throwing things all over the place. We asked Ozmo what he did to make him mad, and he said that he showed him why his magic wasn’t working. He took Kaho, Lucas, Jerry and I to the catacombs and showed us tombs of heroes. “Here is Yangbar’s tomb,” he said, pointing to a tomb. We explored more and found Yumo in a tank. I told the others, and we all looked to see our clones in these tanks. We freed the clones, but Kylie went crazy and tried to murder everyone. The clones attacked my friends, so I knocked them back with magic.We fled from the clones.

June’s story Artemis took off her cape and entered the house. It was a cozy little house with a yellow couch and some comfy looking cushions, all neatly placed on top. “Customer this late,” said a familiar voice. “Tom, go see.” The name Tom sounded familiar. “Oh, Artemis! How nice to see you.” I remembered: he was the owner of Adventurer’s Rest! But, what was he doing in the Gal’ Dara mountains? “Come in, come in. Beck! What are you doing with her? Ah, I see your friends are here,” Artemis turned and saw Jessica and Ahana. Sam followed close behind. “My goodness, Sam, what has happened to you!?” “A devil! There was a devil!” “A what? A devil!? June, can you come here, please?” June appeared down the hall. “Beck! Sam! What are you doing so late in the woods? You do still remember the rules to not go in the woods at night, right?” “Yes,” they said apologetically. “Well, promise me that you will not do that again. Thank goodness the girls were there to help you, so thank you girls. Now, get in the living room before I kill the devil.” The living room was a very lived-in place. It had a wooden table, a bookshelf, an old-looking brown couch, and a few wooden chairs. In the center of the table was a bowl of fruit. Beck grabbed an apple while Sam grabbed a banana. “Girls, don’t be rude. Introduce yourselves.” “They already know us, or, at least they do,” Sam said, pointing at Jessica and Ahana. Then, she turned to Artemis: “I’m Sam by the way, and this is my little sister, Beck. Admit it, you already know our names.” “Sam!” “Sorry.” “Well, since you’re here, I might as well tell you a story,” said Tom. “Oh, do you think it’s time?” “Yes, I suppose so.” “ I’ll go and get some honey tea.” “So,” began Tom, “it was a great October day when the hair of the trees started to fall after turning a crisp golden colour.”” Trees have hair?” asked Beck. “Yes, of course. Their leaves.” “Oh. Not so fun.” “Well, let me continue. I was walking back home when I heard someone crying. I saw a little girl crying, and three muscular men trying to kidnap her. I distracted them and then…” “Then what?” asked Sam. “It’s time to go to bed!” “No,not now!” “Yes, now”. While Tom put them to bed, June said, “He used a hammer to hit them in the head. He then asked for my name, and brought me home. We figured out that a member of my family was one of the seven warriors. We read in a book that someone wanted me to resurrect Rodrick. This meant that I was in danger.”

The Battle for Sidnar CHAPTER 13

Name:Ahana

Jessica and I arrive at the tower and now know that Ka Ho has a clone. His clone mirrors what he does. We also know which one is the clone because the clone sustained an injury. Jessica and I went to the castle. Jessica and I go down to Ozmoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s armoury. Ozmo does not know that we are here, and that we could hear him talking to someone. Cody glows. We realize that Ozmo is an illusion in the castle, and now one is running the city. Cody is now in charge and he is so happy.

The Battle for Sidnar Jessica Ahana, June, Tom, and I decided to go to Sidnar. After saying goodbye to Yumo, we disappeared on the spot. We arrived in the circle in the magical study of the Enchanter’s tower. When we arrived, we saw Lucas in front of us, waving. He said, “Hi! Hi! Hi! Do you have any information about clones?” In response, I asked, “What do you know about the clones?” He replied. “There’s a clone, you, Marcus, Yumo, Yanbar, and Ka Ho. Ozmo’s apprentice, Kylie, destroyed Marcus’, Hermione’s, and Yumo’s clones that weren’t awake yet. What do you think we should do?” I said suggestively, “Why don’t we kill all of the clones, cause they’re dangerous.” After a length of silence, we saw June go to the window. She muttered, “We must go. Something dangerous is going to happen at the north gate.” Before she finished her sentence, we saw an explosion at the north gate. I recognized that explosion. It was the same one that occurred at the south gate, as well as the one that blew up the bottom of the Enchanter’s tower. We rushed down toward the north gate. It was chaotic. Over in one direction were some cultists. They launched a surprise attack. They had dug and tunnel from outside and exploded the north gate. June waved her hands, and the tattoos on her arms glowed blue. The gate slowly reformed. We climbed up the wall and attacked the cultists. I used my wand to fire a barrage of rocks at the cultists. Waves of cultists came and attacked. As night fell, the Dragonborn slowly backed off. Even though everyone was covered with dust and blood, we all cheered. As we headed back towards the city, we saw the Archon’s guard walking past us with sneers, smirks, and evil laughter. We saw Rexard, one of the Archon’s guards, sneer at us. He said, “Look at you guys. No help, or money.” At the main gates of the city, there were different guards. I walked toward the guards, very confused. There were two guards. One was taller, and the other shorter. The bigger guard used a sword to pick his teeth. He said, in an irritated voice, “What d’you want?” I answered, “What happened here?” He replied, “There's a new leader. Things are going to be different around here.” I walked towards the castle when the skinny guard abruptly said, “You need to give 10 gold pieces to go into the castle.” I gave him the money. andAhana and I went inside. We discovered that Baldwin is now the boss, not Gideon. We go down to Ozmo’s armoury, and Ozmo did not notice us. We heard Ozmo talk into something, but we only heard Ozmo, not the other person. He said, “Yeah...Uh huh...Oh, yeah...6,not seven...yeah.... I know.” I tried to use magic to hear the other side of the conversation. I felt a dark force pull me. This force felt the same as the time when I stopped the army from going to Sidnar, and when the demons came out of the fissure. I heard a harsh, rough voice: “The sacrifices must be made. I need the girl, and the clone. Ozmo replied, “Oh, that’s your problem, I did my part.” The harsh voice threatened Ozmo: “Once ascended nothing can stop him.” Ozmo rolled his eyes. After a while, he headed up the stairs. We quietly followed him. I wore my invisibility cloak. Ozmo went to Baldwin. We discovered that there are no guards. Ozmo went to a balcony where Baldwin stood. Baldwin said, “Finally.” Ozmo said, “I just had a conversation with, you know, the person. We’ll give him his people, and he won't destroy the city.” Baldwin said, “Of course,” but he didn’t seem to be listening. Ozmo went back to his workshop where Kylie was waiting. “Well, did you do it?” Ozmo questioned. Kylie responded: “Oh, yeah.” Ozmo told Kylie to kill Gideon, the previous leader of the city and Kylie left. We followed Kylie. We wanted to stop her from murdering Gideon. As we walked, we heard a massive explosion outside. The cultists managed to get inside the city. Luckily, we managed to get them out of the city. We closed the city gates. There was a barrier, created outside, to protect the city. It flickered a bit, then dissolved. The Dragonborn leaned ladders on the walls, and tried to get over the wall. June conjured an axe, and broke the ladders. We returned to the Enchanter’s tower. We saw a large orc; he was the one that attacked the Enchanter's tower last time. I asked, “Why are

you here?” He replied, “I was ordered by...” He was cut short by my blast attack. We started to attack each other. The orc talked and fought at the same time. We continued to attack each other. I stopped because I kept getting hurt. I looked over at the guards to see them playing cards. I noticed that Kylie had disappeared. Knowing that she would kill Gideon, I hurried to the dungeons. I was about to go to the castle when the guards said, “Where’s your gold?” I struck him in the face. Lucas gave them 10 gold pieces, and we entered the castle. We went into a tunnel. We repeatedly looped the same room. We passed a person each time, and they repeatedly said “Oh, it's you.” After a while, the person said, “Oh, it's you. Hey, I saw you before.” So, he followed us. We then saw the person and they again said, “Oh, it's you.” Two people began fighting. One died, and the other had a sword sticking out of his stomach. Later, I finished him off. We continued walking and saw our group. They did the same thing that we did. I walked forward, into my clone. There was a puff of smoke, and my clone disappeared: it was an illusion. I heard someone yell, “Help! Help!” I turned and saw Gideon. Kylie stood in the cell, hands outstretched. I discovered that Gideon is the descendent of one of the seven. They do not want Roderick to be reborn.I changed my mind: June and I killed Gideon. I turned toward Kylie. She's in a lot of trouble. I blasted a fireball at her shoulder. Kylie tried to leave,. but I froze her and she couldn’t move. I was about to finish her off, but Kylie melted the ice and escaped. We wandered around, and found ourselves in a chamber. It was the same place we went for our trial. There were people on chairs: nn orc, an old elf, a person whose name I forgot, Yangbar (a clone as one is with us), a humongous person chained up, and a pale white Dragonborn. When he talked, I discovered that he was the person that previously talked to Ozmo. He said, “You brought us ingredients.” I tried to teleport away with magic, but was blocked by the Dragonborn’s magic. We saw Baldwin, and next to him was the minister of justice. The minister was tied to his chair. I attacked the Dragonborn with a fireball. He wanted us to leave Yangbar and June behind. We refused. Suddenly, cultists appear behind the Dragonborn. Kylie also appeared in the room. Everyone started to glow red, except Yangbar, June, and Lucas. Yangbar and June started to glow green. Lucas asked, “Why am I not glowing?” Lucas then began to glow green. Lucas asked, “Why am I glowing green?” The Dragonborn replied, “He doesn’t know he’s the descendent of Gabrielle.” The cultists pressed in on us. Lucas attacked the Dragonborn. He killed him in the end, after a few tries. I said to the cultists, “Kill yourselves.” A cultist advanced on the old man tied to the chair. Kylie left. We stopped the cultists, and they surrendered. Ahana blocked the exit. Baldwin kicked Ahana, and she killed him in return with her knife. We went back to the tower. The enemies outside retreated. We discovered that Ozmo was an illusion, except when we saved him from the swamp. After a few days, there was a ceremony in the castle. An old man and a young man went ontp the stage. The young man is Lucas’ stepbrother and is a Tiefling. The young man talked about some things that I wasn’t interested in until he declared Ahana the new Archon of the city. Two guards placed a crown on her head (It must have been heavy.), and placed a staff in her hands. Most of the people cheered. Some did nothing, while others booed. I definitely cheered. After, I took a big, long nap on a big, soft bed. Afterwards, I went to Yumo’s house with her grandparents. She was so infuriating: growing plants, making food, sleeping in, walking in the woods, all the while we were fighting. I thought she was supposed to help us fight, I thought. When I arrived, I saw Yumo making cookies with her grandparents. I explained what happened at the fight at Sidnar and how Ahana was the Archon now. I went back to Sidnar, and enjoyed my life.

After that whole adventure we will continue on our paths. I will still try to adventure to the galdara mountains and find the city that is beyond the remnants of Pentos. I do not know what will be in my way but I will be ready for the dangers that are going to head my way.

I was dreaming about being on vacation: someone is serving me a drink, and the sun is not very hot. If this pecking sensation went away, this dream would be better. I abruptly woke up to a vulture trying to eat me. I guess it's because it thought I was dead, so I try to shoot it. Unfortunately, I did not have the strength to kill it. The other guys return, and I see 2 versions of Ka Ho. This is weird.One of them is injured. This must-have meant thatOzmo used Ka Hoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blood to clone him. I am happy that I didn't give him my blood. If I had, I would also have a clone. I rest and heal myself. The next morning, we went to the north gate. We see that a part of the gate was blown up. Apparently, the cultists dug a tunnel under the gate,put dynamite inside, and they blew up the gate. As the guards are fighting off the cultists, we jump in to help them fightThe good thing about my bow is that it explodes on impact, so the explosion can hurt more than 1 person at a time.My bow is good for fighting many people. After a while, the cultists were losing and they eventually surrendered.We don't have to worry about the cultists anymore. After the cultists gave up, we went to the castle.I chose to not go inside because it's kind of creepy, and the guards are charging 5 dollars to go in. I went back to the tower, and it was the end for me.

On the way to Sidnar, we met a wizard that was cloning people. The wizard started to clone everything in his way, including us! Since there were so many clones, we could not figure out which person was the real one. I tried to decipher which of my inmates were real and which were fake, but there were too many of them. Once I found my friends, I told them that I was the real one, but they did not believe me. They replied,“Stay away from us”. They took off without me, and instead took my clone. I sneakily followed them and saw that they went to a prison. They had to pay an entry fee of $10. I followed them in deeper and saw them talking to a Dragonborn. They spoke about a very important situation. The Dragonborn said that the cultists had arrived, and they were going to attack the whole city. We fought against them. They had a whole army prepared to fight at a moment’s notice. Later in the fight, they noticed that my clone had been acting weird and had not helped them defend the city. My inmates said things that my clone did not know. They wondered if my clone could tell them about where the real me was located. The clone did not say anything: he just stared at them. I emerged from my hiding spot and told them that I was the real one. My inmates agreed, and we attacked both the clone and the army. Soon after, the cultists surrendered and retreated. We went back to the castle and saw Ozmo swinging his giant axe around the room. We told him to stop. He shrugged. We asked him what he was doing, and he said he didn’t know. As my inmates tried to calm him down, I watched him swing his axe around the room, harder than before. We soon gave up, and Ahana saw Bladwin as he snuck out of the tower.

By Marcus Lucas, Kaho, and I walked to our tower. Lucas and I went inside and saw Jerry, who’s dying. I healed him, and then we asked people what to do with Ka Ho’s clone. No one answered me.Instead, we combined all of our powers to make it rain food in the city. We did this, so the people don’t starve. Later, we met up with an orc. He told us some information. After that, Lucas, Kaho, Yangbar, and I went to Ozmo’s tower to upgrade Lucas’ spear. Ozmo wasn’t there, but Ozmo’s assistant, Kylie, was there. We asked if she could help upgrade Lucas’ spear. She wasn’t very cooperative, and asked a bunch of questions. Eventually, she agreed, and we got his spear upgraded. Later, we went to the castle’s prison and paid $10 to enter. We sat around a table with a Dragonborn. A red light flickered over Kaho, Jerry, and I, but Lucas and Yangbar’s light shone green. The Dragonborn began to explain, but Lucas threw his spear at him. We left for our castle, and Ozmo was there. We figured that he was a villain who casted illusions, and we battled him. In the end, wewon.

After figuring out that Yanbaris a clone and that Ozmo made a Ka Ho clone, I head back to the tower. I see a vulture pecking Jerry, while toast surrounds him. I consider throwing my lightning spear at the vulture, but I might hit Jerry. Instead, I head downstairs to discuss what we should do with the Ka Ho clone. Yanbar wants to keep him because he is also a clone, but I am not so sure. I go back to the magical study to find the location of Ahana and Jessica. They suddenly appear in our magical study and are accompanied by Tom and June. We catch them up on the information that we know about the clones. It is tough to make a decision, but June sees a plume of smoke from the north gate. It turns out that the cultists are attacking! We quickly swoop in to defend the city. We successfully push

back the invaders from the north wall, but something is bothering me: where are the Archon guards? We go to the market and see a leadership change: Baldwin is now the leader, notGideon. This is very bad. I head back to the magical study and find Kylie. I tell her to get out, and explain why she must leave. The only thing stopping me from zapping her is that she agrees to help me upgrade my lightning spear. Afterwards,we go to the castle to stop the cultistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; evil plan. We first try to findGideon. We find him in prison. After a magical clash between Ahana and Kylie, we kill Gideon to stop the cultists from using him for the resurrection of Rodrick. After, we enter the cave of justice. It housed all the sacrifices needed to resurrect Rodrick. The Dragonborn extends his thanks for bringing

him the remaining people they needed. We see the 7 chosen ones tied up, including another clone of Yanbar. We see many cultists circling behind us, trapping us inside. We attack, but they easily overpower us due to their sheer numbers. The Dragonborn says that the people who are glowing green are not allowed to die, but the people who glow red can die. All of my friends are glowing red, except June and myself, who are glowing green. I ask the cultist why I am green. The Dragonborn replies, saying that I have the blood of Gabriel running through my veins. This makes me mad. I levitate my lighting spear at point it at the Dragonborn prodigy. Unfortunately, it goes through him. He laughs. I again levitate my lightning spear, shooting it back at him. To be frank, he will

not be laughing anymore. My friends clear out some of the cultists.In the meantime,Ahana fights with Baldwin. Baldwin launches a kick, but Ahana easily dodges it. She stabs Baldwin with her sword. Baldwin falls to the ground, dead. The guards assist us by beating the rest of the cultists. After the big fight, we see Ozmo. We launch all sorts of attacks against him, but they go through him. I punch him, and he disappears.Ozmo, after all of this time, has been an illusion and has been working behind the scenes. After that ordeal, the cultists leave, and the city is safe once again. My Tiefling family brings a lot of needed supplies for the city. After a long time of fighting, peace finally begins to set in the city. However, who will become the new Archon? An old man approaches

the stage and announces that elections wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work because the election that happened days ago was rigged. He consults the ancient laws. They say that the person who kills the Archon in a duel will become the next Archon. Ahana killed Baldwin in a technical duel, so Ahana is the new Archon. Long live our new Archon, and our team!

There is no perfect ending. “You all know Ozmo, right?” June asked. “Of course! We’ve even done trades with him!” explained Artemis. “You’ve done what with him before?” June asked, looking concerned. “Trades. What is your concern?” “My children, Ozmo is-” “Please don’t call us children. But, please proceed,” said Jessica. “Ozmo is a clone maker. What did you trade to him?” “A memory,” blurted Artemis. “Hair,” said Jessica. “Nothing,” Ahana said. “Oh! A hair trade, and a memory trade,” said June, shaking her head. “Listen, Ozmo is a clone maker. You two have clones. They’re very dangerous. But, there is a way to get rid of them: kill them.” “I’m not leaving,” said Artemis. “The last time I was here was 5 years ago. I can’t leave here. Please have fun for me!” “Alright. The rest of you are all in, right?” They nodded. “Meet me tomorrow, around 8 .”

“Have fun!” said Artemis. “I can’t believe you’re not coming,” grumbled Jessica. Witha pop, they were gone. “Alright, just you and I. It’s time to teach you how to make a cottage,” said granny. “A cottage!?” “Yup! Let’s go chop some wood.” Unlike other grannies, she was all about fun While the others played cards, she went hiking. While the others ate, she cooked. While the others slept, she watered the garden. Now, she was chopping wood. Half an hour later, they started building the cottage. By the time the sun went down, they were done. “Tomorrow, let’s go to town. We could buy some furniture that you like. Come in now, let’s eat.”

When the house was finished and cleaned, they moved in. The walls were yellow, the floor was marble, and the windows were flawless. There was a blue couch

with golden cushions, and a pot of plants next to it. The kitchen had light blue walls and tiles. The living room was Artemis’ favorite place. It had a new yellow couch, and a bookshelf, full of cooking books and How to Take Care of Your Pet guidebooks. At the end of the hall was a barn for her deer. Her room was simple. It had a bamboo couch, and a bamboo bed. There was also a marble desk. Now, she was figuring out the weird recipe. Not fun.

THE END!
