The Big Voyage
St Stephen's College Preparatory School, Ling, Alicia - 6
Once in a faraway magical land named Crystalcross, lived a girl named Emily. She was eight years old. She
loved sailing and it was her favourite hobby. The magic school she went to was the best magic school ever!
She learned lots of magic spells and she also learned sailinf from Professor Zhenghe.
During the school summer holiday, Emily and her two classmates, Lia and Sophie, decided to go
sailing and explore beyond Crystalcross Coast and make new friends. They conjured up a ship that was
rainbow-coloured and covered with glitter, brought with them a treasure chest full of precious stones and
departed from the port. Crystalcross Bay shimmered beautifully in the afternoon sunlight. It was a happy and
peaceful journey. The girls threw a tea party and watched TV.
Shortly after, their ship approached an island, and the kids could not believe their eyes! In front of
them was a magnificent, huge golden palace with fairies fluttering around it. A fairy fluttered towards them.
“Hi!” she said, “I’m Kylie the Ice Fairy. Who are you?”
The girls introduced themselves and made friends with Kylie. Kylie invited them to the palace for
tea and showed them around. Before Emily and her friends left, they gave Kylie some of the precious stones
as a token of their friendship and asked Kylie if she would like to visit Crystalcross. Kylie joined the girls and
headed toward Crystalcros.
The journey continued happily until a fleet of nasty pirates came by. The pirates had weapon, the
girls did not, but they had magical powers. With the help of Kylie and the magic spell she cast that froze the
pirates, the girls were safe again.
“Hurray!” the girls shouted. “We won the battle!” they cried.
They returned to Crystalcross safely with Kylie their new fairy friend. What a wonderful journey!
