A MAGIC BOOK

One morning, Elif entered the school library and she noticed that one of the books was shaking slightly. Being curious, she walked closer and reached out her hand. Suddenly, an old book opened by itself. Golden lights shimmered from their pages. Curiously, she walked closer and reached out her hand.

Just then, her best friend Kerem walked into the library. 

I picked up this book, but unfortunately I  was thinking  that it was not an ordinary one. Got it!

- Elif, what are you doing?

A small note fell from the book and  the girls read it: 

  This book will take you to the world of forgotten stories. If you have the courage, turn to the first page!"

Elif and Kerem looked at each other. What should they do? They had no idea what happened if they had turned  into the first page.

Curiosity was really great, so the girls opened the first page of the book.

Take the key in your hand and let's trust it. Shall we go on, Elif! 

This key is for you...

Wow! There is a magic door. I can't believe my eyes!

Kerem, I don't understand anything! Where are we now?What is this island?

I don't understand anything either, not even how we got here. Elif, someone is calling us from the ship. We can't go back. We opened the first page of the book and here we are now.

Elif and Kerem come in, please!  I am Amelia, the captain of this ship, and I have been waiting for you. Come to my ship!

 Elif and Keren boarded the ship . . Amelia  and her crew were sailing under a full moon.

- We're going to the mysterious island, -said Amelia.

- The magic key led us to this island, let's continue,  - added Elif.

Suddenly the sky darkened and a violent storm began. Amelia and her crew were trying to make it out, but the strong wind and rain were driving the ship to the mercy of fate, crashing into the rocks.

As they explored, the island trees seemed to whisper their names. Something magical was hiding deep inside. 

Albania 2: Juliana

They found a cave glowing with blue crystals. Inside were ancient carvings & a warning in a forgotten language. How would they understand what was said in that letter?  Elif held it in her hand and tried to decipher it.

"The blue crystals and the letter must have a connection",  Elif thought. 

She picked up a piece of crystal. When a bright light from the crystal reflected on the letter, the writing suddenly became a readable puzzle. Elif read the puzzle out loud.

- What do they mean? 'sad' , 'under' and 'no'. What will we do with these words?

- 'S' for sad,

'U' for unhappy and

'N' for no.

Woooouuw! This is a code! And it says 'SUN' . Yes, we found the code. Horray!

As soon as she said the password, a dazzling light appeared inside the cave and the ground shook. They could not even see eachother.

The ground started shaking.
It felt like the earth was moving under their feet.
Suddenly, a strange, high-pitched sound filled the air.
Elif, Kerem, and Amelia turned toward the noise.
They couldn’t believe what they saw.

What is that? It looks like a tornado.

No... that's no ordinary storm. I think It’s a portal. A gateway to another time.

Wait! We can't just step into it... What if we’re not ready?

We have no choice. The island has a purpose for us, and we need to follow this path to uncover the truth. This is our chance to see the future.

The future... But how do we know it's safe?

Is this... the future? It’s beautiful, but... it feels so different!

It’s like we’ve stepped into a whole new world. Everything has changed.

The future may look shiny and perfect, but I sense something is wrong here. This world is not what it seems.

Before anyone could answer, the vortex began to pull them in.They had arrived in the future.

Everyhing is dark and grey in here!

I don t see any trees, or people.  Only big buildings and blue shiny lights!

Look at that huge sphere!...It seems to command everyone and everything.

The girls were wondering what kind of world is this..

Suddenly, two big eyes were looking from inside the sphere. Scanning the city, they saw flying bug cars. From the window of  one apartament, two robots were staring obsessively at them.

Something seems familiar to me...Lets go..come with me!
