(character) wants (goal) because (motivation), but (conflict). A (magical girl) wants ( to be the keeper of starlight), but (there is a dark force out to get her, they want to kill her and keep her from her destiny, and there may be no escape of these greedy villains).

It was the day of Ariazanna Silverwood's corrination. She was ecstatic to finally embrace her heritage, and become the keeper of starlight. She was to be the greatest keeper of all time, that is according to fate, and the oracle's prediction. But there was a dark air to the day. A sharp but unrecognizable flavor that alerted attendees to the fact that something was going to happen. Something dark and terrifying. But none of the dozens of important figureheads were able to bring themselves to speak what everyone knew, for fear of jinxing the day. Then, suddenly a piercing shriek was heard, and Ariazanna knew exactly what it meant- the Takers were there, and they were there to steal what was rightfully hers. Knowing she could not escape their representative alone, she found her best friend, and gaurdian, Lezaro Copperdust, and together they fled, jumping through the enchanted gate the connected the realms,and straight to the forest only known by her family and the gaurdians they entrusted with their lives. Immediately they knew something was wrong. The forest had a different air to it than usual.

"I think there is something wrong, but Ican't figure out exactly what, but something is very strange about the forest today..." Ariazanna said, holding tightly to Lezaro. "Yeah, I can feel it too, it feels like the forest is fighting for it's free will." Lezaro always seemed to be more sensative to this realm- the human's realm- than any other gaurdian before him.

"And I think it is losing... I think we should turn back, while we still can." said Ariazanna.

" No Ariazanna, they will be waiting there, that is exactly what they expect us to do, we need to find the cave. If we don't we can't stop them our realm would turn to darkness and cold." Lezaro said, stern but pleading.

"You're right, this just doesn't feel right..."

Then, there was a silence, but at the same time, there were infinite sounds banding together to create the beautiful buzzing silence surrounding and soothing them, while at the same time making it impossible to concentrate on where they were headed. They knew that this is one of the mind tricks that the Takers used. As they walked through the beautiful, lush, lively, jade rainforest, there was a somewhat eriee peacefulness. The kind that happens just before the most evily cruel storm you could ever witness. They knew he was close. He was coming- and soon- that there was nothing they could do about it. What they didn't know- this wasnt just a representative of the Takers, he was their //leader//, more powerful than every being in the world. Except for Ariazanna. Suddenly and silently, the dark,shadowy, looming figure approached them, extending his boney, fungus-covered, evergreen fingers towards them. The Taker slowly- with the fear factor equivalent to that of the undead- made the lush forest attempt to engulf the two with the extension and convulsion of vines, roots, twigs, venoms, and fungi absorbing them.

But Ariazanna created a light, a force that made a buble around herself and Lezaro. And they ran, flying through the forest, a streak of light, hand in hand. Finally, they found the overgrown railroad tracks. All they needed to do now was find the peach colored tree that stood next to a spherical boulder, that told them the cave was a mere twenty yards directly east of the tracks. A few moments later they did. they slowed to a jog and went straight to the cave with no hesitation. His sky blue skin, and royal blue hair, and her deep purple, hair that flowed to her hips,and shimmering, lavender skin allerted the cave to their pressence. They walked in, and the cave embraced them with a warm hug that signified their safety. They walked to the rear of the cave, and found the lever that opened the cabinet in the cave wall. Ariazanna pulled out the two foot long, pure diamond staff that enhanced her abillities, and she and Lezaro preparred for battle.

Ariazanna looked at Lezaro, kissed his cheek, and said "Thank you. If I don't make it, you will take my position as the keeper of starlight." Lezaro grinned and replied "Then let's hope you make it."

Then they stepped across the threshhold of the cave. Ariazanna climbed the tallest tree, when she got to the top, she saw a dark shadow about half a mile directly to the west. Swiftly, she swung down the branches to the bottom of the tree and lept to the ground. Staff in one hand, Lezaro's hand in the other, they again raced through the forest, this time running directly to the source of nightmares. The one being that could take all the world's happiness. However they knew that they could stop him. Then they saw him, stopping only ten feet away form him.

Ariazanna shouted across to him "You will be stopped. You must know that I cannot be taken down by anyone. Is that why you, Hyphusor leader of the Takers, came instead of a representative?"

"No my dear, I just wanted to be the one who defeated 'the most powerful keeper of all time', the one who is destined to unite all the realms." he growled.

"What? Unite the realms?" This confused her greatly, "I was only told i would be the strongest, why wouldn't anybody tell me I was destined to unit the realms?"

"Because they didn't want you to know how you die. You see, while you are to be uniting the realms- if you survive today- your strength will be drained enough that you are powerless against the Takers." the repulsive figure was lying through his teeth, trying to get her gaurd down so she would be an easier target.

"He's lying. He just wants to get under your skin to weaken you." Lezaro knew this, but he also knew that she probably woudn't believe this.

"I know, I believe you." she had to, she knew he had mind tricks.

Suddenly a black spear flew across the short distance between them, piercing Lezaro's shoulder."No!" Ariazanna was torn between whether to heal him or kill Hyphusor. Then Lezaro nodded, and with a silent tear rolling down her cheek, she turned to face Hyphusor. She levatated off the ground, a halo of light surrounding her. Stretching her staff towards him, she filled him with light and it seeped through his skin, until he exploded and was no more.

She touched the ground and kneeled over Lezaro, the staff was gone. And she knew that every Taker had dissappeared with a puff of black smoke. She held her hands over his wound and noticed he was pale and his lips were blue, as she healed him she muttered the Keepers' prayer over and over "Not fade away..." until he opened his eyes.

Immediately he embraced her and kissed her forhead, then whipered "Thank you Ariazanna. I realize now you should always tell people how you feel, that anything can happen. I love you. As soon as we return, I will ask your father for your hand."

She smiled warmly and replied "It sure took you long enough."

And the duo walked home happily greatful for their every breath.
