Lily is a very free spirited middle school girl who loves the outdoors. Her parents are always busy with their bakery and don't have much time to spend with her. So she instead goes outside playing by herself, untill she meets a boy named Edward, who is a little bit shy and has just recently moved in the village. They then start to play and explore the woods together. Both of them heard many stories of Emerald Valley, some say it is a gateway to another world, and others say there are creatures who roam the land guarding a special emerald stone full of powerful magic. They then decide to go to the other side of the forest to see it for themselves.
Running through the woods as if she were a gazelle, she jumps over the fallen tree. "Lily! wait up!" The boy shouts out, trying to keep up. She runs out of the woods Into a valley called Emerald Valley, it was green and beautiful just like an emerald. Edward and Lily see the Misty valley, and as you enter, it gradually starts to clear up. "Wow!" Said Edward, "I never thought there were a place this beautiful." Lily, with a big smile on her face, rolls in the grass, they both lay there for some time, since they are tired of running through the woods. The valley has a river going through it and flowers cover the rolling hills. It smells sweeter than chocolate and the air is as fresh as a new world. The water is crystal clear and there are mountains surrounding the valleys.
Lily wispers to Edward, "Did you hear that?" "Hear what?" Replies Edward all frightened. "Boom!" They both jump in the air and are as stiff as a rock. The clouds start getting dark. "That!" Screams Lily, "It sounds like thunder." says Edward. "Look, over there! It looks like a cave, let's stay there untill the sky clears up." Lily suggests, so they both decide to stay there for some time. They sit down looking like hard cold icecubes and frightened little kittens. Voices start to come from deep in the cave and a big shadow Comes around the curve. It disappears. Lily and Edward looks around all scared, untill a little voice comes from below them, they look down and see a small cute white furry creature. Lily, with excitement and a big grin on her face, goes to the creature with the attempt to pick it up. "Please don't! Please don't!" Says the creature all embarrassed and awkward. Lily and Edward looks at each other, saying all confused, "did he just talk?" They look at the fluff ball, "you can talk?" "Yes, I can" the creature replied, " what are y'all names?" Lily then said," I am Lily Izabela and this is Edward pumpernickel" with an astonished face he said, "did you just say Izabela? Are you the daughter of Vanya Izabela?" "Yes, I am" Lily replied.
He then told them a long story of how there once was a queen who lived on this land, she was mean, scary and also very airy, she always wore a stone brooches on her dress and made people take on a lot of stress, "I tried to worn her" said the fluffy creature, of how it's dangerous to keep the stone. She didn't listen and got attached to the magic power that was hidden in this stone. It was the power to make a new world, you cast it on the land of a desired place, and who ever steps on that land casts the spell and sees a world of their dream. It also has the power to heal. the stone was once inherited to the king from his mother's side, infact, the stone was created by a witch, who was actually the King's grandmother. When the king died his child was the next one that was suppose to claim the stone, but the queen stole it and became attached to the power. The curse she got from stealing the stone was that her daughter got sick and so that's when she was forced to give it to her child. She gave this stone to her daughter so she can heal her. The child got better but their was another price she had to pay. It took half of the queen's life, so she got very old and couldn't take care of her daughter, so she gave her away to a town girl. This town girl was very nice and took good care of the child. When this child grew up she always wore the stone brooches on her outfit and had the powerful magic ability to heal and create a magical world, but one day she decided she did not want this power anymore. She then went to the valley of where her mother's castle was and took the emerald brooches off but it caused another price, that price was to have a child that will be born with the magic power. When she took the brooches off, seven creatures formed and these were the seven emerald guardians, these creatures' souls were inside the stone and come out every time the magical stone is not in the possession of a host. They guard the stone with there life and vowed to guard it untill the princess comes to claim it.
" Who is the princess? Did she claim the stone?" Asked lily, " well, actually, she is in this room. The princess is you my dear." Replied the fluffy creature. With a very surprised and shocked look she then said " the princess is me? That just can't be possible!" The creature continued to speak,
"The queen's daughter then went back to the village, started a bakery, and raised the princess. You, being the princess, can gain your powers by claiming the brooches and if you do there won't be any prices to pay except for having to take care of the stone. If you don't want to wear the brooches you won't loose the power either, it will be permanently your power. Even your children will inherit this power. That was the final curse, it was the curse of the burden. If you loose to protecting this stone and it somehow comes to someone else's possession, you will get cursed once again."
Lilly then says,"so if I take this stone I will have this power?" The creature then assures,"yes" " where are the guardians?" Asked Edward, the creature replies, "I am one of them and the other six are around somewhere looking out for trespassers. You are lucky I found you, cause if they found you they would have force you into claiming the stone. However, I need to tell you something, Now, this stone has a very dark magic that is hidden deep in the emerald. If it is possessed by an evil person, that person will have the power to destroy the world. Just how it is able to creat a new world, it is also able to destroy one. That is why I ask you to please break this stone, cause you don't know who will claim it in the future." " You can break the stone and the power it holds?" Asked lily, " yes, you can, but only YOU CAN, since you are the next to inherit it." " I agree we should end this trend untill it gets into the wrong hands one day." Says Lily. They decided to break the stone and so the creature explains how the only way to break it is to create a fire, then place the emerald stone inside it, once it is in the fire, she must cast the healing spell.
They then snuck inside the castle and found the stone, she did what the creature told her to do and so the magic power left the stone. She no longer holds the power nor will anyone else have it. She took the stone and put it on her dress. The other six creatures came, there was a bunny, turtle, small dragon, monkey, elf, fairy, and the fluffy creature that kinda looked like a panda but was really white n fluffy. Once the power vanished so did they.
"Come on, lets go home" said Lily "y-yeah, sure" replied Edward who was trying to take everything in. It started getting late and so Lily and Edward headed back home. The next morning was beautiful, Lily and Edward continued to play together, and everything about the stone just seemed like a dream.
