The last of the 100 minions fell over the cliff as my arrow hit its mark. "Bull's eye!" "That's fine Cali...but perhaps you forgot about the enchantress" said my sister-in-arms, my most loyal companion and my best swordsman Kaname. "Chill out Kan...what can happen to me if you are there." And we ran together towards the bigger danger, the Enchantress.
Well, I was pretty disappointed seeing the "lair" of hers...since unlike the stinking islands with skulls or poisonous mushrooms, it was actually the most beautiful place probably on the whole of earth...a beautiful garden with all kinds of flowers in full bloom, and among them a marble palace which shone in the moonlight like a jewel. I would have actually settled down here if I hadn't known better...this was a lure, a trap which had cost us millions of our army. So this time the village Elder preferred to send us girls, and I hope he had made the right choice.
"Cali, let's go!We don't have time to adore the scenery." Leave it to Kan to keep me on track.
"Yep, compandre!" And as soon as we entered, I felt a like something hit my head really hard...and, as embarrassing as it might be, I fell head first on the cold floor.
"Wake up! You drunk horse!" And I was jolted awake from the most epic dream I had.

My mom was right in front of me standing with a serious look on her face...while I was on the floor of my bedroom, checking for any broken teeth. "Don't you have to wake up? Debi called to say she is already on her way to pick you up for college!"
"But mom...I had this amazing fight..." I got cut off by a vibration on my phone. Of course my best friend Debi. I took the call.
"Have you woken up yet? 'Cause I'm already outside your house. Come down in 5 minutes." And after much negotiation, I had 15 minutes to get ready.
Here I come...to spend another mundane day.
