  Chapter 1 Creation Of The Elements

  ONE DAY THERE WAS A wizard named Ralph who lived in a world called the hidden world. He lived in a castle. Ralph,like all wizards, had a magic wand. Ralph had three friends ,Sophia the unicorn, Bentley the troll, and the Oatmeal warlock. Ralph the wizard invited them over to his castle for a party. When they all arrived at the castle, Ralph the wizard welcomed all of them to his castle. They were all having a good time when, all of a sudden, they heard explosions outside the castle! They looked through the castle window and there was an army of guards outside the castle! Suddenly, another wizard appeared! Ralph the wizard realized it was his evil brother, Brock the wizard! Ralph the wizard stepped outside and asked Brock the wizard, “what do you want?” Brock the wizard said, “I want your magic wand!” Ralph the wizard said, “why should I give it to you?” Brock the wizard said, “It's because I want to use it to bring back the two evil ones, so that way they can do my bidding! Then I will rule the universe!” Ralph the wizard said, “have you gone mad?” Brock the wizard said, “no I haven't!” Ralph the wizard said, “I will never give you my wand!” Then Brock the wizard said, "Okay then, I will take it by force!” Brock the wizard then said “attack!! And all his guards started attacking Ralph and his friends! Ralph the wizard said to his friends, “We are outnumbered, we must retreat!” So quickly, Ralph the wizard did a smoke screen, and by the time the smoke cleared, Ralph the wizard and his friends were gone! Then Brock the wizard was like no! “I will find you, and then that magic wand will be mine! Meanwhile, Sophia the unicorn, Bentley the troll, and The Oatmeal warlock were all wondering what they were going to do! Ralph the wizard led them to a tree and said, “this is the tree of the elements. We must use it to create the 3 elements which are water, fire and ice. To do that however, you all must combine your powers together!” So Sophia the unicorn, Bentley the troll, and the oatmeal Warlock, all combined their powers together and aimed their powers at the tree! Sure enough, the tree created three crystal elements which were water, fire, and ice. Then Ralph the wizard said to Sophia the unicorn, Bentley the troll, and the oatmeal warlock, “you must take one crystal each, and take it home with you! Guard them, and don't let each of them out of your sight!” They were all like, "okay!” Ralph the wizard said, “I must now start my journey to stop my brother from getting my magic wand and unleashing the two evil ones!” So Sophia the unicorn, Bentley the troll, and the Oatmeal warlock, all headed back to their homes with the elements. Ralph the wizard started his journey to stop his brother from getting his wand and unleashing the two evil ones!

  Chapter 2 The Journey Begins

  RALPH THE WIZARD STARTED his long journey to his evil brother’s castle to stop him from taking his wand. On his way to the castle, he decided he would take a shortcut through the woods. He kept going deeper and deeper into the forest. All of a sudden he heard growling! Sure enough, there was a pack of wolves that had been stalking him! Now they had surrounded him, with no possible way to escape! Ralph the wizard used his magic wand to lift the wolves off the ground and throw them against the trees! This gave him time to run away! While running through the woods, Ralph the wizard came up to a pond. He could hear the wolves were coming closer, and now he needed to find a way to get across the pond! Ralph the wizard spotted an old boat with holes in it! He needed a way to plug the holes up to make it across the pond. Ralph the wizard used his magic wand to fix the boat and row across the pond to safety. Ralph the wizard got out of the boat and realized he didn’t recognize this area of the forest. Shortly, he came up to a cave and decided that he should take shelter there for the night. However, Ralph the wizard woke up late that night and heard a different growl! Sure enough, it was a big huge bear and he then realized he was in a bear's cave! Ralph the wizard got up and fought the bear with his magic wand to try and escape! This angered the bear,and the bear started to attack Ralph the Wizard with his sharp claws. Eventually, Ralph the wizard used his magic wand to move the bear over to the side of the cave so he could escape! Outside the cave,the bear still chased after him! After escaping the bear, he suddenly came across a pack of hungry wolves! Fortunately,all of a sudden, Ralph the wizard heard galloping coming towards him! Sure enough, it was Sophia the unicorn coming to his rescue! Sophia the unicorn then used the water element to make it rain heavily so that the wolves and the bear had to take cover. This allowed Ralph the wizard and Sophia the unicorn to make their getaway! Sophia the unicorn said to Ralph the wizard, “what are you doing out here?!” and Ralph the wizard said “I decided I was going to take a shortcut and then I got lost”. Sophia the unicorn started laughing and said “next time make sure you don't take shortcuts or I'll end up having to save you again”. Sophia the unicorn and Ralph the wizard got out of the forest. However, once they both got out of the forest they were met by Brock the Wizard’s army of guards. The guards started to attack Ralph the wizard and Sophia the unicorn so they could take the wand. Eventually Ralph the wizard and Sophia the unicorn managed to take out all of the guards. Ralph the wizard said to Sophia the unicorn “I must continue my journey to stop my brother”, Sophia the unicorn said, “Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?” Ralph the wizard said “ No, I need to do this on my own”. Sophia the unicorn headed back to her home while Ralph the wizard continued his journey to stop his brother from getting his wand and unleashing the two evil ones.

  Chapter 3 The Mountain Of No Return

  RALPH THE WIZARD CAME up to a mountain which he had never seen before. Ralph said to himself, “I need to get past this mountain so I can stop my brother from getting my wand and releasing the two evil ones”. Ralph the wizard couldn’t go around the mountain because there was no way around, so he had to climb up. Ralph the wizard started to climb the mountain and managed to get to the middle of the mountain when he noticed that it was very unstable. Ralph the wizard had to be very quick and careful, otherwise there might be a rock slide which could trap him on the mountain! So, Ralph the wizard was being as careful as he could. Ralph the wizard heard something which turned out to be an army of guards following him up the mountain! Ralph the wizard had to do something to prevent the army of guards from making too much noise and causing a rock slide. Ralph the wizard ran as fast as he could away from the army of guards so he could make as much distance from them as possible. However, the army of guards kept getting closer to Ralph. Ralph the wizard quietly said to the Army of guards, “Please be very quiet, the mountain is unstable and too much noise could cause a rock slide.” The army of guards yelled, “why should we care?!” Then suddenly the rocks started to come down and the army of guards screamed “Oh no!” The guards ran back down the mountain as quickly as they could! However, Ralph the wizard needed to get to the other side of the mountain. It was so unstable that the rocks started coming from every direction. Ralph the wizard was helpless and in great danger! Just in time, Bentley the troll came to his rescue and started holding the rocks back while Ralph the wizard made his way back up the mountain. Ralph the wizard made it to the top, however, Bentley the troll was still holding the rocks, so Ralph the wizard had to do something! Ralph the wizard used his magic wand to get the rocks off Bentley the troll. Ralph the wizard and Bentley the troll then made their way down the other side of the mountain. However, the rocks were still coming down the mountain! Ralph the wizard told Bentley the troll to use the fire element to blast the rocks with the fire. Bentley the troll used the fire element and blasted fire towards the rocks! The fire held back the rocks so they could make their escape! Ralph the wizard ran further down the mountain while Bentley the troll stopped using the fire element and ran as fast as he could down the mountain! Just in time! The whole mountain basically collapsed, and Ralph the wizard said “I will definitely not be going back this way!” Bentley the troll asked, “What were you doing on the mountain of no return? They call it that for a reason!”Ralph the wizard said, “there was no way around the mountain, so I decided to go up the mountain”. Bentley the troll said “There was another way you could have gone.You could have gone up the volcano where I live.” Bentley the troll was shaking his head in disapproval and said, “I am headed back home, are you coming with me?” Ralph the wizard said, “No, I have to continue my journey to stop my brother Brock from taking my magic wand and unleashing the two evil ones.” Bentley the troll said, “Okay, well don't get yourself in any more trouble”. Bentley the troll headed home while Ralph the wizard continued his journey to stop his brother Brock from taking his wand and unleashing the two evil ones.

  Chapter 4 The Fire Monster

  RALPH THE WIZARD CAME up to what appeared to be a lava lake. He had to find a way across it. However, Just then, Ralph the wizard noticed something emerging from the lava lake. To his surprise it was a Fire Monster! The Fire Monster started to throw fireballs at Ralph the wizard. Ralph the wizard had to dodge all the fireballs that were being thrown at him by the Fire Monster! Ralph the wizard then used his magic wand against the Fire Monster! The magic wand was no match for the Fire Monster! Suddenly, the Oatmeal warlock appeared and started to use his powers against the Fire Monster! But still, that was not working! Then Ralph the wizard had an idea. He told the Oatmeal warlock to use the ice element against the Fire Monster. The Oatmeal warlock used the ice element against the Fire monster. Sure enough, the Fire Monster was frozen solid! Then the Oatmeal warlock asked Ralph the wizard what he was doing out by the lava lake. Ralph the wizard said, “I am on my journey to stop my brother Brock the wizard from taking my magic wand and unleashing the two evil ones.” Then the Oatmeal warlock said, “We have to get you across this lava lake somehow.” Ralph the wizard had an idea, “Why don't we use the ice element to freeze the lava lake so I can get across safely?” So the Oatmeal warlock used the ice element to freeze the lava lake. Ralph the wizard started across the lava lake and made it to the other side. The Oatmeal warlock asked, “Are you sure you don't want me to come along?” Ralph the wizard said, “No,I need to do this on my own.” So the Oatmeal warlock said, “Okay, but don't get into any more trouble!” So the Oatmeal warlock headed back home, and Ralph the wizard continued his journey to stop his brother Brock from taking his wand and unleashing the two evil ones. Meanwhile, one of the guards headed back to Brock the Wizard’s Castle and told Brock the wizard that his brother Ralph the wizard was on his way to his castle. Brock the wizard said, “Good let him come! I'm going to have a little surprise for him!” Meanwhile, Ralph the wizard came up to what appeared to be a desert. Suddenly he saw in the distance what appeared to be a pyramid. He thought he should take shelter in the pyramid for the night. He went inside and saw it was pitch black. So, Ralph the Wizard lit a stick on fire and went deeper into the pyramid. Eventually he came to a dead end! He said to himself, “Now what?” All of a sudden he fell through a trap door and landed in another room inside the pyramid! He got up and said, “where am I?” It was a room full of ancient artifacts. Suddenly, the trap door closed above him and he was completely trapped deep inside the pyramid! He had nowhere else to go but deeper into the pyramid! Ralph the wizard started to go deeper into the pyramid to find a way out!

  Chapter 5 The Mummy’s Tomb

  RALPH THE WIZARD ENDED up in what appeared to be another chamber inside the pyramid. He noticed something in the distance! Suddenly, a live mummy was coming right towards him! Ralph said to himself, “Oh no, what am I going to do!?” And he started to run away from the mummy! Ralph the wizard was running away from the mummy when he came to a dead end with a pit full of snakes! The mummy was getting closer and closer to Ralph the wizard! Ralph the wizard had to do something! He remembered that he had his magic wand and he tried to use it against the mummy! Unfortunately, the magic wand wasn’t working against the mummy! Now he had to find a way across the snake pit without falling into it! Ralph the wizard saw an old piece of rope. He had an idea to use his magic wand to attach the rope to the ceiling so he could swing across to the other side of the snake pit! So, quickly, Ralph the wizard grabbed onto the rope and swung across the snake pit and escaped the mummy! However, Ralph the wizard still needed to find a way out of the pyramid. He found another stick and lit it on fire to find his way out of the pyramid. Ralph the wizard started to walk along the halls of the pyramid to find a way out and eventually saw a little bit of light up ahead. Ralph the wizard finally found what appeared to be a door and got himself out of the pyramid. However, when Ralph the wizard got out of the pyramid there was a sandstorm outside! Ralph the wizard started walking through the sandstorm. He continued walking until he came up to what appeared to be an oasis in the middle of the desert. Ralph the wizard yelled “Yes! Water!” and grabbed some water from the oasis, however, when he tried to drink it, it was sand! Ralph the wizard said “Oh no! I must have fallen for a mirage! I must have been getting really thirsty!” Ralph the wizard then saw what appeared to be a village in the distance. He decided to walk towards the village to get some water. Ralph the wizard got to the village and realized that this village was full of bad guys. The bad guys saw Ralph the wizard standing just outside the village. Ralph the wizard started to run in the opposite direction to avoid the bad guys! However, he was quickly captured and taken back to the bad guy’s village! Ralph the wizard was thrown into a jail cell by the bad guys. The bad guys said to each other “Hooray! Now we can take him to Brock the wizard’s castle and get our bounty for capturing him!” Ralph the wizard thought to himself, “That’s where I need to go”, so he had a plan to cooperate with the bad guys to get to Brock the wizard’s castle. The bad guys loaded Ralph the wizard into a carriage and they took off to Brock the wizard’s castle.

  Chapter 6 Entering Brock The Wizard’s Castle

  RALPH THE WIZARD AND the bad guys were heading towards Brock the wizard’s castle. Meanwhile, Ralph the wizard was planning in his head what he was going to do once he got to his brother’s castle. The carriage rolled up the castle gates and was let in by the guards. The bad guys were instructed to bring Ralph the wizard to Brock the wizard. The bad guys brought Ralph the wizard to Brock the wizard and demanded their bounty be paid in full. Brock the wizard said, “Forget it, throw them in the dungeon!” Ralph the wizard said, “We finally meet again, my brother!”Brock the wizard said, “Give me your wand and I may decide to spare you from my dungeon.” Ralph the wizard said “Never, I can't let you unleash the two evil ones!” Brock the wizard said, “Well I have a little surprise for you!” Sure enough, Brock the wizard brought Sophia the unicorn, Bentley the troll, and the oatmeal warlock into the throne room. Brock the wizard said “I will give you one last chance to give me the wand or your friends will pay the price”. Ralph the wizard finally said “I guess I have no choice but to give you the wand, as long as you spare my friends”. The three friends yelled out “No! Don't do it!” Ralph the wizard said “Well, I can't let him hurt you guys. You've saved me one too many times!” Ralph the wizard gave Brock the wizard his wand. Brock the wizard said, “ Finally, now I have his wand and I will be able to go to the cave and unleash the two evil ones!” Brock the wizard instructed the guards to get his carriage and take Ralph the wizard and his friends to the dungeon and lock them up. Ralph the wizard and his friends could see no way out of the dungeon but wondered what they could do to get out of there. Ralph the wizard remembered that even though he didn't have his wand, they still had the three elements which Brock the wizard didn't know about. Sophia the unicorn, Bentley the troll and the Oatmeal warlock used all of the elements against the gate to break out of the dungeon. The guards saw what happened and yelled, “Get them, before they escape!” Ralph the wizard and his three friends managed to take out the guards one by one! Ralph the wizard said, “We must stop my brother from using the wand and unleashing the two evil ones”. So, the group took off from Brock the wizard’s castle and started the journey together to stop him from unleashing the two evil ones. Meanwhile, Brock the wizard was riding in his carriage when one of his guards ran up and told him that Ralph the wizard and his friends had escaped from the dungeon. Brock the wizard said “We must get them back into the dungeon so they won't interfere with the plan! I want all guards on high alert and I want them captured immediately!” Brock the wizard said, “Alert all the neighboring villages to keep a look out for the prisoners and offer them a large bounty for capturing them”. Meanwhile, Ralph the wizard and his friends came up to another village wanting to get a drink of water. The villagers saw Ralph the wizard and his friends coming into their village. Suddenly,an angry mob of villagers surrounded them. Ralph the wizard was shocked and realized his brother, Brock the wizard must have alerted the neighboring villages of their escape! Ralph the wizard and his friends thought to themselves, “Oh no, what are we going to do?”
