Crustel

Chapter 1

 "Come on", she said. I just followed although that place was forbidden for humans. I am a human but I had no choice to defeat my curiosity in myself. "Come on... Step here. Wait... One condition before you enter 'CRUSTEL' is you must not be a human", she said. I still waited. "Come on Cora", she kept calling me. She was my only best friend whom I lied to always. I shouldn't have told her that I was not a human being. I just realized that I am an ordinary human. There is nothing special. I was always neglected. My only hope was mom and Erica.

 "Did you know that usually wizards are only allowed to Crustel? Once there was a human. Her name was Bargan. She lied to my grandmother, Cleosandra who was the brightest witch in Crustel. Crustel, unfortunately, allowed her in. Bargan didn't know that not everyone could enter Crustel. Bargan stepped at the entrance. 

 Her feet started feeling some sort of warmth. The longer she went the hotter the climate was for her. Cleosandra only felt the coldness of winter at Crustel. She knew someone who entered Crustal was a human, but she didn't know it was Bargan. Both went till the Castle Of Gling where it means All The Wizard's Glow. Only a wizard can make the castle glow. Bargan's shoe started burning. My grandmother stopped the fire. She was quite suspicious. She observed her. Bargan couldn't withstand the heat in Crustel. She was keeping herself cool with her hands. Cleosandra suspected her. She suddenly announced all the witches and wizards to come to the Bay Hall.

 Every Crustelicians needed to sit for a test. They were shocked. The queen announces this when she suspects the arrival of a human. So, it was time to glow the Gling Castle. Everyone knew if they just stepped on the entrance the castle will glow. Bargan didn't know that. She was not good looking at that moment. Crustel somehow let her stay there for a week. Bargan really acted very well as a witch. When Cleosandra called Bargan, she really acted very well as a witch. On the seventh day, Bargan's face turned reddish black. Her arms were like charcoal. It was fully black. Cleosandra came to visit Bargan. Bargan was hiding in the dungeon of the castle. It was huge. Bargan covered herself with her blanket. When Cleosandra touched the knob of the door, the door opened.

 She ran and hid under her bed. Cleosandra, "No Bargan...It's me. Your friend, Sandra. Don't go and hide. I can cure your sickness", cried. "No. No. No. NO. SANDRA NO. Don't come near me. I mean just leave me alone. I can cure myself," Bargan replied furiously. Cleosandra was upset with Bargan's behaviour. She was still standing there till her crystal at her wand glowed. The crystal will glow if there are enemies, but Cleo didn't understand where the enemies might be as she rode on her horse towards the castle. The minister arrived. Cleosandra sat on her throne and, "My dear Crustelicians, today the wand's crystal glowed!" The Crustelicians were shocked. They all realized that there might be a human. "Your Majesty, is it because a human has entered?" asked a wizard. "Yes, the human being is here in Crustel. Don't worry because any human being who enters Crustel will be burned in the dungeon. It is the rule", Cleosandra appointed a thousand soldiers to observe who was the human in Crustel. That evening, Cleosandra went to meet her best friend, Bargan. Unfortunately, Bargan forgot to lock her room. The crystal's glow became more. She saw Bargan was sitting at the edge of her bed. Suddenly, the crystal created fire and pointed at Bargan. "BARGAN!!!" she screamed. Bargan just realized that Cleosandra came to her room. She forgot to cover herself with her blanket. "Bargan, are you a human?" she asked with anger in her eyes. "No... You know right that I am a witch like you!" said Bargan. "You say you are like me? You LIAR. Get out of Gling Castle's Dungeon. You're a TRAITOR," Bargan couldn't do anything. She tried her best to lie. Since her lies were not believable to Cleosandra, she tried to run away from the castle. When she stepped out, the castle soldiers surrounded her.

  "I know you are a human now. So, based on Crustels's law, a human must be burned at the Dungeon and here it goes " Cleosandra waved her wand towards Bargan. Bargan covered herself with her blanket but she couldn't prevent herself from burning. "I don't want to hear anything from you. Here you deserve it. FLAMENGO!!!" The wand created flame. The fire caught Bargan. She was screaming so hard because she couldn't withstand the heat. She jumped all over the dungeon. Finally, she was burned" and that was the end of her in a tragedy.

 I was worried but still recollected vividly that a human can survive for a week. "I will go to Crustel and come back in three days so that I won't be burnt like Bargan," I told to myself. There goes nothing. I stepped at the entrance of Crustel. Actually, I was able to feel winter in Crustel. I was wondering why I did not feel heat instead of coldness. "Hey, I felt cold here. Is it winter?" I asked Erica. She saw me like seeing a ghost. "You said that you felt cold here? Uhmm it's summer here!" she replied. I confessed that I knew it earlier and was just kidding her and asked her where we were heading to. She still looked at me with that creepy look. I stopped walking. "Wait, Cora, are you a human? If yes please tell me. I don't want to lose my best friend" she asked suspiciously and calmly. I saw the ground and felt quite guilty but I was calm. "Nope. I am not a human. I can prove it. See this is my wand!"
