To my family, friends and teachers.-S.T

Sevi       Jane      the phoenix

Me!

THUD! Sevi grumpily carried a heavy box to the other side of the attic. “Just twelve more to go,” panted Jane, as she pushed a crate near a pile of old toys. 

Sevi and Jane were sisters, and they lived in an enormous house together with their parents. The girls were clearing out their attic to make it tidier. As they cleaned the attic, they came upon an ancient purple chest decorated with shimmery jewels. Curiously, Sevi slowly opened it as Jane watched. Sevi’s eyes widened as Jane took out a strange-looking  map.

“ Just a useless map!” giggled Jane hysterically. 

But Sevi wasn’t listening, she saw the words ‘The Fire Gem lies on Flame Island.’ She nudged Jane with her shoulder and showed her the words that appeared on the Island shaped like a flame.       

“Let's go find it!” announced Sevi. Jane nodded excitedly. 

The moment she said that, a magical silver sword appeared in a flash of light, sliced open a mysterious portal and sucked them in before they could scream.

They landed on a small brown boat that had a steering wheel., Jane noticed that the sword was with them too. Sevi was fiddling with the sword when a majestic diamond fell from it and landed on the steering wheel. The wheel jerked suddenly and started to drive wildly propelled itself  across the ocean.

“Are we at Flame Island yet? I can’t wait to find the Fire Gem!” exclaimed Jane, jumping up and down.

“If you defeat the kraken, you will reach Flame Island.” a dark voice deeply echoed.

The girl exchanged worried looks as the waves started to surprisingly get bigger. Without warning, two gigantic tentacles emerged and pushed their boat back and forth as if it were a tennis ball. The girls held on tightly for dear life as the waves thrashed around them. 

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!’’ screamed the girls, shivering nervously.

Sevi grabbed their sword tightly, staring at the huge kraken emerging with its eight tentacles.

“ You are not going to throw the sword at the kraken, are you? The sword can open portals and if we lose it we won’t be able to cannot go home. Isn’t there any other way to defeat it ?” asked Jane anxiously, staring quickly at the kraken.

“It’s the only way.” replied Sevi sadly,her voice shaking. She gathered all her strength and threw the sword at the kraken.

The sword landed in one of the kraken’s tentacles and the beast screeched in pain. It slowly sank back into the ocean, as the sky turned bright, revealing an enchanting, miniature island. 

We found Flame Island!!!

“We found Flame Island!” the girls said excitedly, and drove their boat to the shore of the island. They took the diamond on the wheel with them and hopped on the shore. There were mystical green trees that made a pathway to an old chest. The girls ran to the old chest and found a note stuck on it which read, ‘ Find the right key to open the chest.’ A bunch of keys lay next to the chest.

“Hey! This key looks different to all the other ones” exclaimed Jane, picking up an old rusty key. She carefully placed the key into lock and with a soft click, the chest creaked open. They gasped in amazement when they saw a flaming red gem. The girls' faces lit up faster than a light bulb and straightaway they high-fived with their hands energetically.
