This story was written by sixth grader, Kendal Griffiths

 

Prelude
Cimorene and Mendanbar are the perfect couple.

Mendanbar was 17 years old when her father drowned in the Lake of Weeping Dreamers, making Mendanbar King of the Enchanted Forest.  He went on a quest to save his kingdom from the evil wizards.  He married Cimorene, princess of Linderwall, a year ago.  He currently 21 years old.

Cimorene was the princess of Linderwall.  Linderwall volunteered to be dragon's princess, helped the dragon became King of the Dragons, and married Mendarbar when she was 20 years old.  She is currently 21.

Now for the story...

Chapter 1
Mendanbar
I had been taking my weekly walk, when I suddenly sensed magic draining out of the Enchanted Forest.  "Wizards!", I yelled, frustrated.  I twitched a strand of magic and transported myself to the castle.  "I must tell Cimorene."

"Cimerone, come quick!" I yelled.  "Wizards!"  "Wizards!", she said, "not in the Enchanted Forest, I hope!"  "Yes, in the Enchanted Forest... it's urgent!"  I transported us to Morwen and Telemain's house, they would help us, they were old friends.  "Yes," called Morwen.  "We need to go now!" I said.  "Cimerone will explain."  I transported myself, Cimerone, Morwen, and Telemain to the Enchanted Forest.  Cimerone was explaining to Morwen and Telemain when, all of a sudden, I heard a wizard... "And kill Mendanbar after we take his magic."  and then, "that's a good plan,  I'll start the spell now.  "Mendanbar heard this and crept up behind the speaker.  He pulls out his mighty sword and leaps! FLASH!  The wizard no longer has a head.  "Mendanbar!", yelled two voices, Cimerone's and Zemenar's.  Zemenar was the head wizard.  I squirted soap, water, and lemon juice on all the wizards.  I was about to KILL Zemenar, when I felt him working a spell, very nasty one at that, so I hurled my sword at him.  There was a huge flash of magic when our magic hit, and I was knocked out...

"Mendanbar! Mendanbar!  I've solved it", screamed Telemain.  "Look at the clues!  I made a list for you:
                                1.) WIZARDS HAVE BEEN SOAKING UP AN AWFUL
                                     LOT OF MAGIC FROM THE ENCHANTED FOREST.

                                2.) I FOUND A WIZARDLY-LOOKING STAFF THAT 
                                     SAID< "ZEM NAR".

                                3.) ZEMENAR EXPLODED WHEN THE SWORD HIT
                                     HIM!

                                4.) I THINK SOMEONE STOLE SOME OF YOUR MAGIC!

"Can you guess who did it?", Queried Telemain.  "Umm, let's see, Zemenar?", I said.  "Exactly", said Telemain.

THE END
