Chapter 1- Joshjosh123
Deep in the valley of Vueletopia, in the village of Vuelta, an apple dropped from the high branches of a tree, falling quickly in the night, before it hit the ground, it stopped dead in its tracks, as time slowly came to a stop, crawling from the outskirts of the village. Animals stood frozen mid stride, a deer frozen as it leant down to drink from the frozen river, everything was freezing as time slowly iced over.

Alena lay awake in her bed, unable to sleep, her long white ponytail twirled through her fingers. She tucked a piece of loose hair behind her elven ear. Alena looked up as her Gran Alma rushed through the door of the cabin.

"What's wrong Alma, you seem troubled?" She question. Alma stood breathless, and puffed out

"It's happening..." She responded, "Time... Is coming to a stand still..."

Alena stood up, and walked over to her, "What do you mean to a stand still?" She asked. Alma looked up, her fear stricken eyes looked into Alena,

"The ruby tablet, the one from the stories I would read to you as a child, that's what's happening."

Alena gasped, her mind grasping what was happening. She watched as Alma waddled over to a cabinet and started searching through the draws, mumbling to herself. Alena went and pulled on her tunic and boots, and walked over to Alma, who turned around and gave Alena two golden Medallions.

"Hurry put this on quick! We don't have much time." Gran forced a medallion around Alena’s neck, and pushed the other into her hands "This medallion will stop time from capturing you. Follows the stars to the hut where the fox woman Nerma lives, she will be able to help you find the Ruby Tablet, so you can save everyone."

Alena looked at the Medallion noticing a clock like symbol with an infinity symbol intertwined with it "But Gran, what will happen if I don't make it in time? What shall I do?" She asked. She looked up and saw her gran staring back at her frozen in time. Alena felt tears well up in her eyes

"I'll do this Gran. For you." She turned grabbed her bow and looked back at her gran before exciting the cabin. Alena stopped in her tracks as she saw the village it was deadly silent, the torches illuminated the town, but they did not flicker, she saw a cat frozen mid jump, and realized how real it all was. Alena fastened her belt around her tunic and tightened her ponytail, slung her bow and quiver over her shoulder and looked at the night sky, even frozen it was more beautiful than ever. She looked for the Hunter’s Trail, a line of stars that led a trail through the woods, she noticed it went north and started her journey for the Ruby Tablet.

Chapter Two-Mad Russell
As Alena entered the forest of Atorna she came across a noise.

" I wonder what that was," she said to herself.

"You should be as always, dear Alena." Said the voice. Out from behind a bush came a slender woman, with a foxlike snout, she walked with grace, her long, red kimono slid along behind her. Alena noticed a medallion just like hers around her neck.

"It is I, Nerma, the Atornan Fox and you may not pass."

"I must go this way to save my land. Is there a bargain I can make with you to pass?" Alena offered.

"Well, if you can answer a riddle you may pass, if you’re interested. The price is if you fail to answer it, you are mine for all eternity." Nerma said.

"Bring it on,” said Alena with confidence.

"Very well.” Nerma accepted and began her riddle.

“The eyes I have they have no sight. When you turn left I turn right. But through the looking glass I come to life, What am I?"

After a while of thought, Alena said, "You are my reflection!"

"Very good, Alena I'll give you this magic bow and arrows to help you on your journey. You may pass,” said Nerma. Alena accepted the gift, thanked Nerma, and continued her quest.

Chapter Three-Baileyvogt
After following the Trail of Stars for a few hours. Alena started to get hungry. She noticed some squirrels in the trees. Frozen in time. She used her arrows and shot two of them down and started a fire to cook them. staring at the fire. The fire was hypnotic, and just as she started to drift off. A voice said, "Hello?"

In the blink of an eye, Alena was on her feet with an arrow out of her quiver and poised to shoot.

"Who's there?" She yelled, "Show yourself!"

A figure came out of the shadows. The creature was rather plump and his clothes were very tattered, wearing a medallion just like hers. He had a long brown beard and greasy brown hair. But what caught Alena's attention were the eyes. His eyes were a piercing yellow.

"I didn't mean to startle you, ma'am." He said, "I'm just passing through."

"You lie! You're a troll! From the impoverished country of Regresstien from Regreso! What do you want?" Alena accused. Regreso and Vuelta had been at war for several moons.

"Well, guilty is charged, I guess, my name's Makas. May we forget the war of our elders and may I join you for supper?" He asked. Alena looked him up and down. He didn't seem hostile, so she hesitantly put her arrow down.

"Thank you." Makas replied. They each took a squirrel and ate silently.

"I see you're wearing a medallion just like mine. Is your town frozen too?" Alena questioned.

"Yes, my grandfather had been telling me stories about this tablet. He put this medallion around my neck just as time froze. I have been walking ever since."

"The same thing happened in my village. I'm on my way to get the Ruby Tablet as well." She said.

"He told me that the only way to restore our land was to bring the tablet back into town." Makas continued. Alena had noticed something had changed in his demeanor, he seemed a little more anxious. He pulled out a small bottle of liquid.

"So I work with my grandfather as an apothecary. And one of my favorite mixes is Griffin Spit." Makas started. Alena tensed up because she knew he was taking this somewhere. “It’s great for a prank on your friends, because it knocks them out, but only for fifteen minutes. Like THIS!!!!"

Makas sprayed the bottle right in Alena's face and she breathed in the mixture. Already she was starting to fade out. Makas had gotten up, grabbed Alena's arrows and as she blacked out, he said, "Well... It appears that only ONE of us can save our land, and that person is going to be me. And when my town has come out from under this spell, we will attack your land and take it from our own. And you'll just have to watch from your frozen stare!" He started back down the path as Alena loss consciousness.

Chapter 4- Mister.. E.
Alena started to come to, groggily surveying her surroundings. She noticed the lumbering troll, Makas, up the pathway by about fifty yards. He had the ruby tablet and her quiver of arrows; she slowly got up, took out her small knife from her side, and started to approach the hulking troll.

Makas was whistling a tune to himself when he heard twigs snapping, he turned around, swinging his club at anyone behind him, missing Alena’s head by inches. He then took off running into the woods, huffing and puffing, dragging his club behind. Alena pursued him closely, knife in hand.

Eventually, Makas began to run out of breath, not seeing Alena; he decided to take refuge in a small cave. He put down the tablet and his club and began to catch his breath, looking around the cave. Makas suddenly felt a burning sensation in his back. Makas immediately jumped forward, only to see Alena had stabbed him, and the tablet had been taken. He grabbed his club and ran out of the cave, cursing to himself.

Alena scurried out of the woods with the tablet. She ran back out onto the trail and ran towards her village, she stopped and momentarily looked around for any sign of the dastardly troll. She didn’t see anything and continued down the path.

Suddenly, Makas burst out of the woods and pinned Alena down. He grinned savagely at her.

“Yeah should’ve been smart and not messed with me, silly elf!” Makas said triumphantly, “Now, I could kill you right now, but, let’s have a little fun, shall we?” Alena’s eyes widened as Makas began taking out arrows and glided them across her arms. “One little flick of the wrist, and your hand is gone. So, what do you say? Give me everything you have on you.” Makas threatened as he got up, walked back to his stuff, and picked up a burlap sack. Alena took this time to pick up her knife that Makas had not picked up. She shoved it in her sleeve as he came back, and forced her up.

“I’ll give you everything I have,” Alena said calmly. “Just don’t kill me.” She began to empty her belongings, and handed them over to the troll. His eyes looked over the jewels and various items greedily. Makas turned his back and began to stuff every last item into his burlap sack.

“And now to finish off this little runt—“ Makas suddenly fell to the ground, dead. Alena had stabbed him in the back of the head, killing him instantly. The crafty elf then took back her own belongings, picked up the tablet, and began walking back to her village, finally rid of the menacing troll.

Chapter 5 – Sheerloyd01
Alena made her way back to the town, tired, famished, but extremely happy. She stopped and she looked up in the sky with tears in her eyes. “I made it, Gran” she whispered and a smile stretched across her face. She had never felt that kind of happiness before. “I wish we had made it together" she said to herself and continued walking to the village.

As she was walking, something caught her attention. It shone in the moonlight just off the path; it was the sparkling river that had been frozen by the curse. It took her back to her childhood when she played with her father. Alena left the path, leapt in to the stream, and danced in the middle of the sparkling floor, expressing the inner joy in her heart. Happiness she never felt before, happiness of obtaining the victory. Victory in defeating Makas the troll and having the ruby tablet back in her hands to free her people. After a while, she continued down the path.

"Time to get my town back to life!!" Alena expressed when the town came into view. The dead town she was about to save. She walked right towards the path that leads to it. She went back straight to her house where Gran was still in place staring at her like a mannequin. Her high hopes became disappointment.

"How am I suppose to use this for us to be saved??" She exclaimed while staring at Alma. She walked to her and looked right in her eyes. Suddenly memories manipulated her mind. It took her back to the moment where Gran told the story about the tablet and it helped her remember.

"The fountain!! The fountain is sacred, and is the life of their town!" She exclaimed with excitement running through her veins. Alena ran out of the house and ran to the town square fountain. She reached the cylinder shaped fountain and in the middle of it, a post carved with vines made with gold. On top of it there was a box that has hole in the middle of it, also made with gold. She insert the tablet in it and suddenly, a striking light flashed all over the place, coming from the sky. The curse finally came to an end as the light brought everything back to life. Children playing and laughing, The noise of the people, The waving branches of the trees, calm flow of the river and her dear Alma.

The people of Vuelta held Alena as a hero. And she got married to the King and Queen's Son, Prince Ybrahim. And she became known as Princess Alena, the Conqueror of Time.
