The Magic of Magena 1
A world like no other: in it, everyone has a super power, everywhere is perfect, and, if something isn’t flawless, with a snap of a finger it is fixed. All is ideal, except for one place that looks like a subway tunnel, and that contains five kids—two girls and three boys. One of the girls is named Katlyn, called Katy. The other one is named Clarisse. Out of the three boys, one’s name is Tyson. The second one’s name is Kyle, and the third one’s name is James.
The tunnel resembles a subway station inside as well, but it’s not. A hallway leads to a large room, big enough for three boys to share. Tyson’s share of the room is the biggest. On his side he keeps weapons. A mini TV on the wall has a cable and a place where you can put movies in. Next to the TV is a bull’s horn or what looks like one; it was the first monster Tyson ever killed. Under his bed, some drawers held all his clothes. In one corner were three big backpacks for James, Kyle, and Tyson, ready to go if they ever left the subway station. His bed was made from wood. He had taken a knife and carved his name in it, but because his parents abandoned him at such a young age he couldn’t remember his last name or family. He just carved his first name, like everybody else did when they came.
On the other side of the room, Kyle was sleeping. He also kept a bunch of weapons for protection. In front of his bed was a TV, which he made because he always liked to build things. A big box filled with all his tools, such as hammers, screwdrivers, nails, a small saw, and wrenches was hand next to his bed.
On the third side of the room sat James who was playing some video games on a TV. He and Kyle had designed the video game together. James had green eyes that lit up in excitement, and light brown hair that shimmered in the light. His bed also had had his name carved on it.
In another room, separate from this one, two girls stayed, Katy, and Clarisse. Katy, with dark brown hair and blue eyes, was sewing a pillow. Her clothes were folded under her bed. On one side of her bed, weapons were scattered, and on the other side, a sewing machine and various fabrics were stacked. She always made everyone’s clothes.
Opposite her, Clarisse was striking a punching bag that Katy had made. Clarisse was a pretty tough girl.
Suddenly a big “BOOM” was heard outside the door, but the five of them already knew that sound. The monsters were trying to get in. Grabbing their weapons, they ran outside, even Kyle who was asleep at the time, and fought the monsters until every one of the creatures was dead.
Then they saw a little girl who looked about seven, who morphed into an infant, then an old lady, and finally into a twenty-year-old girl before she stopped and said, “Another world exists that has people just like you, on a place called Earth.” She also said, “I’ve been watching over you all—“
“Then why haven’t you been helping us?” James yelled.
“I haven’t been helping you because I needed to know if you were ready for this,” she said. “My name is Jade and I’m a shape shifter as you can see, and it will be dangerous to get to the new world. I want you all to know that.”
She put her hands over each other and it magically formed a map, she tossed the map to Tyson, who caught it despite his surprise.
Jade said, “That the map will lead you to a magical lake within the forests.”
“How is that so hard? We just follow the map to the lake,” James said loud enough for Jade to
hear.
“Would I be saying it was going to be dangerous, if it wasn’t?” Jade said, “The lake that you will
go to is called MAGENA. You guys will end up facing six monsters, the first letter in each of their names will end up spelling MAGENA. After successfully defeating six monsters, jump into the lake and you will live a happy life on Earth.” With a flash she disappeared.
Everybody went inside and ate dinner in silence, until Tyson said, “I think we should go to this Earth place instead of living the rest of our lives in a subway station.” He stood up and left.
James got up from the table to comfort Tyson, but Kyle went instead. When Kyle got to the room, he knocked on the door and pushed it open. Tyson said, “Why shouldn’t we go? We’re all in our early teens, and not even in teens. Look at James; he’s twelve and he’s fighting for his life. If we have a chance to live a normal life, why don’t we take it?”
Kyle thought briefly, and then said, “Yeah, I guess you’re right, when do you want to leave?”
Tyson smiled. Kyle left the room and went back to were he was sitting. Everybody was so anxious to hear what Tyson said. Just as Kyle started to tell everybody what had happened in the room, Tyson returned and said, “Well, how about we leave tomorrow night.” Everyone cheered and was happy. They agreed that they would sleep early so they could plan and pack early the next day.
In the morning Clarisse and James went out to scavenge food for the trip. Everyone packed their backpacks and each agreed to carry their own. After packing, they agreed to bring their own sleeping bags for the one night they would have to sleep in the woods. They left at night when other people would be asleep and few monsters would be around. Once they were ready, they snuck out and hid in the forests. They wanted to get as far as possible from that city at least.
After a long night of running, they reached the forests and fell asleep.

In the morning Clarisse, Katy, Kyle, and James were all gone. Tyson looked for them, yelling their names, but nobody answered. He heard someone screaming, “No, I beat you Mirilan!” and he ran toward the noise.
He saw it was Katy. He started yelling at her to wake up, but she didn’t. He squirted her with some of his water and she woke up with a knife and stabbed a random spot in the air and the monster just fell down out of nowhere. Tyson was extremely surprised and had so many questions but the only one that popped out was, “Wait, what was the monsters name?”
“Mirilan” Katy said.
Then Tyson yelled, “You killed our first monster! Do you know where the other three are?” “No, sorry. Well, let’s go find them then,” she squirted her mouth with some water and was
ready to go as if nothing ever happened.
They found James first, sitting in a ditch. As soon as he saw Tyson and Katy, he yelled, “I killed a
monster named Acer Elf which puts a magical ace of spades card on you and you have to fight the elf in a trance. Luckily I beat the Acer Elf, but when I stabbed the elf all the pressure blew me into this ditch.” He continued, “Hey, um, by the way, can you get me out of here. It’s getting uncomfortable”
Katy and Tyson laughed and Tyson said, “Sure dude.” Extending his hand, he helped him up, and the three of them set out to find the others.
They found Clarisse fighting another monster that looked like a giant scorpion. Its outer shell was gold and its tail was silver. They looked liked they had been fighting for some time because Clarisse was covered in sweat. With a final strike she killed the monster. Then she said, “I hope you guys found the first two monsters because this monsters name is G. Scorpion. “Really simple if you ask me.” She smiled and said, “So did you?” in a sarcastic way. Everyone laughed and set out to find Kyle.
Tyson had to run back to the campsite so he could get everyone’s extra water bottles because everyone was running out of water. As soon as he arrived, he saw the tent that they just slept in the night before was ripped to shreds and the entire campsite was ruined. Tyson didn’t know what had created that big mess.
The bushes around the campsite rustled, and he realized a monster was nearby. Tyson drew his sword holding its gold grip while the silver blade flashed in the light. This was the sword he had sworn to his friends was “just right” because it fit him better than all the others. The sword gave his confidence and he was ready to fight against anything that came at him. The bush directly behind him quivered and Tyson jumped up and turned towards the sound. A red-eyed, blue-eared foxlike creature with a horn

coming out of its white chest moved towards Tyson. It was covered with fur, and its arms were blue. One big horn replaced all its knuckles on each hand, which was the size of a fox.
After gazing around the site, the creature suddenly attacked. Luckily Tyson had good fighting skills and avoided the blow. The creature hit the ground. Its face looked bruised but the fall wasn’t enough to keep him down. He came at Tyson really fast, but Tyson was unable to move and he got hit. Now that wasn’t enough to keep Tyson down either, so he jumped up and slashed all three horns of the creature with his sword. The fox had less of an advantage now, it whimpered a little bit and then hit Tyson’s right arm so hard that he dropped his sword. As the sword skidded beyond Tyson’s reach, the creature swung at Tyson’s face. Tyson ducked, picked up one of the fallen horns and stabbed the monster with his own horn. The monster threw up his arms and yelled “Eraculous!”
Tyson realized Eraculous was the creatures name and that he had fought the third to last monster. They were closer than ever to finding the lake. He grabbed everyone’s extra water bottles and ran back to the spot he had left them, in excitement.
He found them in the same place he left them. Apparently they had cleaned up in the time he was gone, because everyone looked completely normal—not as if they had each just fought a different monster one on one. He tossed everyone their own water bottle and told them the story about how he fought Eraculous and how the campsite was ruined. Still, they needed to find Kyle.
They swiveled through the woods looking for Kyle and found him, lying on the ground, knocked out with a bruised up face. In a daze, he was mumbling random technological things, but Tyson ran up to him and started shaking him to wake him. Clarisse looked around for his water bottle, found it, and refilled it for Kyle. When Kyle finally woke up, he drank the water rapidly, as if he hadn’t drunk water in a long time. They revived him to his normal self as much as possible, though his clothes were still messed up. He said he beat Night Wolf in a fight, but almost died. After a few minutes, they continued walking through the forest searching for the final monster.
Then they found a big huge troll-like monster guarding a lake. Nobody could enter the lake without defeating this guardian. Noticing the five of them, he said, “If you want to go into Lake Magena you must knock me out.”
The five of them were completely ready with their weapons pointing at the ugly troll. They each attacked from different sides, but the troll just whacked them all back. Katy threw some dirt in his nose, which made him bend over and sneeze. He bent over far enough and long enough that Clarisse and Tyson switched their weapons to hammers and hit him in the head. The blow knocked the troll out long enough for them to jump into the lake and land on Earth.

On Earth everyone resembled them, the language they spoke, the food they ate, and the people themselves who also never had any special power. An amazing new life was beginning for each of them. Finally, they could live new, normal, and happy lives forever.
