Elena of avalor – MAGIC OF A KIND
Chapter 1
It was a warm spring day in for the annual spring fair had begun. The Via Mercando was bustling with princess Elena Castillo Flores was gazing out of her balcony ,reflecting
on recent events. It had been a year since she became the crown princess and she was getting real good at ruling. And then she had embarked on her greatest quest to
Vaistrella.
The words of the sun bird oracle was still on her mind. Elena had been thinking about the darkness coming to her for quiet a while had been really worried about it but she
knew that her friends and family would be there for her no matter what. Then Elena heard a knock on her door and Isabel walked in. "Elena we're supposed to be visiting the
town square for the spring 'nt you ready?"she asked. "Coming isa "Elena replied and grabbed her scepter.
"You,me Naomi and Gabe are taking one and Abulo have already , Esteban and Olivia will take the second carriage"Isabel rambled two sisters reached the palace gates and
boarded the coach. "Hi Elena, pretty excited huh?"asked Naomi."yeah" answered Elena "It's been years since Avalor celebrated a spring fair.I'm sure that everyone's gonna
enjoy it". "Well,you can say that again.I'm probably going to win all the tossing games"mused Gabe. The quartet continued chatting during the ride to the Via Mercando.
The square was really colourful as most of the merchants had set up their tents. Sweet music was heard in every corner of the fair and the delicious smell of extravagant
sweets and chocolate filled the air. Elena was elated to see all the smiling avalorans and she decided thart she wasn't going to let anything worry her that day. She
immediately began checking out all stall.
"It's nice to see everyone so happy isn't it Elena "asked Naomi. "It is" agreed Elena. Gabe was jesting with some royal guard pals of his. Isabel had turned her attention to a
book shop and was checking out some manuals.
"There you are mija"came a voice . Luisa and Francisco were approaching the scattered group. "We were looking everywhere for you Elena !" said Francisco. "We just
arrived Abulo "said Elena . "And we're having a lot of fun "added Isabel ."Good. I was thinking of setting up a pan dulce stall . At a low price , of course "said Luisa ."Well
you'll have all the fair goers to yourself then" giggled Naomi. The group began discussing the possibilities of Luisa's idea.
All of a sudden a whirlwind of a girl raced past Elena. The princess couldn't see her face but the back of the girl's head was clearly visible. She looked a bit like Elena herself.
Her dark brown hair was pulled back in a long pony tail . A guitar swung across her back and she was wearing a short yellow dress with a red sash and a pair of comfortable
leather walking shoes. There was an extraordinary glowing golden strip down the back of her hair. She was maybe sixteen or seventeen.
Following her was a young boy about thirteen years of age . He had dark brown hair and a guitar identical to the girl's swung across his looked Avaloran but Elena hadn't seen
them before. Who were they and why was there a glow on the girl's hair ? Did they have any connection to the darkness coming to get her ?All of these things muddled
Elena's head when the strumming of a guitar reached her ears.
Chapter 2
Elena hurried towards the center of the crowd which had gathered in the middle of the square . A long line of people with musical instruments were milling around. Elena
caught sight of the girl in the line , but before she could approach her , Naomi made a shout of surprise .
"Hey , check out the prize for the music contest " she exclaimed . " It's a life size chocolate sculpture of you Elena " . "What! " said Elena ."It looks gorgeous . I wonder who'll
win , Though " Said Isabel . "Ladies and gentlemen , Your attention please ! " yelled the commentator . " The avaloran music mania is about to begin. All the contestants Are
supposed to sing their original song on the given topic . So hopefully Everyone here is Avaloran at heart . One by one please singers " "Wonder what the topic is ."
commented Francisco who had a passion for music . 'And your topic is THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP !" "Easy " murmured Elena .
Most of the contestants were pretty good . Some got stuck in the middle . Extempore singing was not easy for awesome musicians who needed a lot of practice and rehearsal
. Finally it was the mysterious girl's turn .She and the boy were apparently performing a duet. Beautiful Avaloran music reached the audience's ears . And then the song
started.
"It's not just a word
It's a powerful part of your heart
Where you can be you…..
I still remember the day when I first met you
So lonely and cold
So I tried some warmth and avaloran truth
My true friend
If I could make a wish right now
I would wish for a friendship so dear
With a true true friend like you….
For the power of friendship is so great it overrules…
It's higher than the tallest peak
Clearer than the sea and tides
Fiercer that the strongest storm
A power so divine…
It's the greatest weapon ever made
A true and destined star
The power of friendship
The power of friendship
The power of friendship…"
Thunderous applause followed . " and there we have the winning duo "
Chapter 3
Elena didn't know if it was the girl's voice or her way of handling the guitar but that was literally the best on the spot performance of true avaloran music she ever saw of an
original song. " what a brilliant duet " exclaimed Francisco . " They are surely one of a kind ! " . A lot of people were congratulating the pair who looked overwhelmed . "best
prize ever eh " whispered the boy . "Perfect "agreed the girl with a grin. " Teresa and Harold , come and collect your prize , a life size chocolate sculpture of our crown
princess !" "Come on " said Elena as she dragged her Naomi and Gabe to the winners .
" That was a striking performance " said Elena to The Flustered Girl. "Oh , my goodness , Crown princess Elena " she said as she curtsied gallantly and nudged the boy to
bow. "Thank You ". " Oh , There's no need . " replied Elena . " I'm Teresa and this is Harold " introductions commenced . "are you new to Avalor " asked Elena . " Kind of . We
were here on certain business and the fair was irresistible ". Was the reply . "I know what you mean " said Elena. "but you do look Avaloran " she added . "oh , My mother
was Avaloran " she said casually. All of them began chatting . Then "would you like our royal wizard to freeze the sculpture for you . He's on his way here right now " Elena
offered . " we can take care of that can't we qibs " she said with a wink at Harold ." But we would like to meet your Royal wizard yes " she added . All of a sudden there was a
crashing noise of a royal carriage .
Esteban looked shaken. " I am never letting you Drive with magic again " he roared . " you were the one who wanted to go faster . " Mateo retorted . " Hey Elena " he said
with his signature grin . Elena loved that look and grinned back. " Hey , Teresa This is our Royal wizard " Said Naomi. " A bit unstable but really talented " added Gabe . "
Mateo " exclaimed Teresa . "Teresa " said Mateo Startled. "You know each other " said a confused Naomi. But before they could answer , Esteban yelled " YOU , GIRL" with
rage. " SOMEONE CATCH HER, GABRIEL DO SOMETHING " . Before anyone could do anything to accede the chancellor's orders Teresa and Harold had vanished.
