“But…?” Pig Jie’s eyes widened with surprise as his mouth, or should we say snout, dropped to the floor.
Literally.
“Aha! No wonder the townspeople looked odd! This is Apica Mist!” Monk Tang inspected the magical
dust and tucked it safely inside one of his pockets.
“But who would put Apica Mist HERE?” Merchant Sha grunted as he heaved Pig Jie’s snout back where it
belonged.
“It must have been...”
“THE DARK WITCH!” Pig Jie exclaimed, jumping onto his horse. “Come on! I know where she is!”
Chapter 3: Fighting Magic
“So, you have arrived.” The Dark Witch’s piercing voice echoed through her lair.
“It’s over, Elytria.”, Monk Tang said confidently.
“Oh, it’s just begun, Monk-y!” Elytria cackled and tossed her black tresses behind her sassily.
“HEY! I resent that!”, Monkey King exclaimed.
She got up from her throne, snapped her fingers, stomped down the black stone stairs and soon, there was a
girl behind her, who brought her a silver wand.
“Thank you, Isiana.” Elytria smiled at her assistant.
“You’re most welcome!” Isiana beamed at her master.
“Expelliria!” Elytria pointed her wand at the group and a purple fireball lurched out. Monk Tang closed his
eyes, snapped HIS fingers and POOF! Elytria and Isiana were in a cage!
“IMPOSSIBLE! I STUDIED THAT SPELL FOR YEARS!”, Elytria roared.
“Well, I studied the cage spell for a century before I got it right! Not my problem that you chose evil over
good!”, Monk Tang retorted, making the cage levitate into the air.
“I don’t feel good…” Isiana turned green, then white.
Leona: I wanna know what happens next to Isiana!
Alicia: Okay, I’ll tell you what happened! She faints!
Chapter 4: The Return
After Elytria and Isiana surrendered, they scurried out of the cavern, leaped onto their horses and galloped
off, leaving the cavern in a puff of dust. When they reached their home village, they said “Good night!” to
each other and quietly drifted off to sleep, dreaming about the wonderful adventure they had.
Chapter 5: The End
Alicia: Wait, what? It’s the end already? I was enjoying narrating!
Leona: I know, it’s so fun! But, everything must have an end.
Alicia : I guess you’re right. Well, I hope you-
Leona: Readers enjoyed this-
Alicia : STOP INTERRUPTING ME!
Leona: Well, I (ahem), sorry, WE hope you enjoyed reading this story!
Alicia: Goodbye now!
