Birthday of Combined Dreams
Birthday of Combined Dreams
Alora woke up early in the morning. Although she kept her eyes shut tight.
she told herself firmly. Dream of a weird colony full of different creatures.
“It was a dream,
”
There was an abruptly loud tapping noise.
“Happy birthday!” bawled her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton.
Alora quickly got ready and had her breakfast.
A weirdly dressed old lady comes to give her a necklace with different stones each birthday and
every time brings a new kid with her. This year she got a shiny purple stone.
Later, Alora and her parents went shopping.
Mr. and Mrs. Clinton had already sat in the car. When Alora opened the door, she quickly bangs
the door as if she had seen something very bizarre. Thinking it’s just a figment of her
imagination, she quickly opened the door and tried sitting in the car when she got transported
into a new world.
Alora noticed that the door she entered from had disappeared.
In hope of escaping, she started searching around when she saw a group of people. It was the
old lady with kids.
The old lady with those kids took Alora with them to their home. Alora’s mind started shaking off
when she saw their long pointy ears, sparkling fingers and their changing faces.
After handing over the hot chocolate to Alora, the old lady and the kids sat down in front of her.
“You… you’re a magical elf”
, said the old lady.
“What!” She exclaimed.
“How is that even possible?”
“Yes!, you’re an elf, Santa’s beloved helper”
, said a boy. Today, you’re going to be getting some
magical powers related to nature, animals, controls and more but it is very rare that someone
does not get a magical power.
“Don’t worry, even I’m going to be getting a super power”
, said a tiny little girl named Melina,
but what if I don’t get a super power.
Let’s go!, it’s just 10 mins to 12pm, hurry up, screamed the old lady.For getting their powers, there was a ritual being performed. First, dip their hands into 4 types of
potions and decide which one to go for. Second, wear a bangle and dip their hands into potion
reciting a prayer. Third, one old elf comes and makes three cuts on your wrist through the
bangle but if your skin does not bleed and the blood becomes ice then you’re a magical elf.
Fourth, the last one, keep your hand on top of fire and your hand is ready to shine.
Everyone was sad to hear that Melina did not get any power. After hours of seeing others doing
the ritual, it was finally Alora’s turn. Her hands were shivering as she stepped ahead. The ritual
began. Alora’s hand started shining blue, then green and finally yellow. Alora’s power was
elemental control. Everyone was shocked, after 56 years someone had got the rarest power.
“Grandma you’re correct”
, said Melina. Alora is a power princess.
“Yes, dear!” Said the old lady. Alora’s going to get the best training these 2 years.
With great power comes great responsibility , thought Alora. The only thing Alora could think of
was to escape. It seemed that her whole world was turned upside down.
While searching around she collected stones with different symbols and solved the puzzle, she
escaped but was unknown to the future.
Alora was shocked to see that the time had stopped until she came into the car.
While Alora thought it was a dream, she forgot that when she touched the small plant it rapidly
started growing.
