The Original Adventures of Emily
Chapter 1
The Vanishing Volcano
A water spirit named Emily was an explorer of the world. She came to a 173 mile plain and somehow she got lost so she went west and south. She thought and thought but could not find her way home. So she went a diagonal way 70 miles but could not find her way home. “I wish I was in water.” she said to herself. She went 70 miles another way but still could not find her way home. She could not find her house and she wondered where her house was. “Ugh, not again!” she whispered. Emily was always getting lost when she was on land.
She could see a distant mountain. She went on a path which lead to the mountain. Suddenly she noticed the ‘mountain’ was smoking. It was a volcano! A volcano spirit rose from the depth. Volcano spirits always asked 3 riddles before they would let you pass. Emily was excited. She might not be good at finding her way on land, but she was great at riddles! In her garden at home, she grew riddle-flowers. In springtime, she would listen to them telling riddles.
“The 78 wolves + 78 racoons = the way you do not say is the only
1
one thing can scare it away.”
Well Emily was not tricked. She knew that even though it sounded like an addition problem, in real life, the wolves would eat the racoons. She said 78.
“Well that is correct,” answered the volcano spirit. “Here is my next riddle. There is a point in open space. Where is it?”
Emily had heard this one before. “It is nowhere,” she said.
“Correct. If there is a shadow of a cat is there a cat?”
“No.There does not have to be a cat”, said Emily.
“Well you may go. I will always help or protect you if you sacrifice a
flaming bull.”

The Cyclops Cave
A cave came into sight. The cave was a huge cave. It was 2340 meters long. But Emily knew about this cave. It was Cyclops Cave. In Cyclops Cave a cyclops which apparently ate people who could not solve his riddles lived there. Emily thought this was terrible until he mentioned riddles. His
riddle was :
“Samuel was out for a walk and it started to rain. He did not have an umbrella and he wasn't wearing a hat. His clothes were soaked, yet not a single hair on his head got wet.
How could this be?”
Emily giggled.
“Of course he is bald”, said Emily.
“What goes up and down the stairs without moving?”
“A carpet.”
“That Is correct. You may go tomorrow,” he said. And then he fell asleep. Well Emily in this situation would not do anything her pigeon would not. So she let her pigeon go out of the cave. The pigeon came back and signaled safe so Emily came out.

The Glacier of Gladness was a glacier that had giant popsicles. Emily tasted one. It was delicious. But then she found out that anybody who wanted to get away must pass the hard test of the water wiz. The test is you must go down under water and tend the dragon.
The water dragon was a fierce dragon. So she went under the water. But while she was going down under water,a water sprite told her to take his sword and cut the dragon’s head of. And she did. Then the water wiz said that she could go.

The Cloud That Always Rained
spirit said:
”A mean old witch lives there. Near the cloud be careful!!”
Emily realized that she was at the Cloud That Always Rained. The
water spirit also said that a nice wizard lives on the golden road; he can help you get through The Cloud That Always Rains. Well Emily set off down the golden road. When she got there the wizard said:
“Yes I will help you but you must not blow any bubbles. She was swimming when a water spirit came up to her. The water

“I will not.”
So they went under and the witch did not notice anything.
chapter 5
The Magic Mountain
Emily saw a giant mountain. The mountain was The Mountain of Magic. The Mountain of Magic was where a magician lived. The magician was an extremely powerful magician.The magician could make friends, but not usually. He only made friends or allies with people who passed the best test on earth: He/she had to find 97867 water spirits and show them to the magician. But the 97867 spirits where afraid of the magician.
“Well have you seen the magician? He really is nice. He might look or even sound scary, but he is just trying to defend himself.”
“Fine we will go if you come with us.”
So they set off together. The spirits told Emily why they were afraid of the wizard. For example: once he almost struck their mountain.
“Well there probably was a reason.”
They walked until they got to the wizard.The wizard said:
“O.K. but where are you going?”

“I am going home.”
“You have passed it. If you want to go home you must go back.” And she did.
And lived happily ever after. The end.
