This story begins with a dream-not a real dream, but a metaphorical one. One might say it was merely an "unattainable goal," but for sixteen-year-old Evangeline, it was her very own happiness.
More than anything, Evangeline dreamed of becoming an archaeologist. It was quite an admirable title, if you asked her-"Archaeologist Evangeline"-it certainly sounded good. But more than just a pleasant title, it was a profession that made her heart skip a beat, her hands stiffen, and her eyes... oh, her eyes! They were like those of a hungry beast spotting a fleeing prey. No matter how fast the poor prey ran, the beast would never take its eyes off its target.
However, without a doubt, natural selection was bound to take place. And when faced with a more experienced, stronger, and better-adapted monster in that environment, the poor beast stood no chance. In Evangeline's life, there were several monsters surrounding her, preventing her from reaching her goal.
This is Evangeline's life-a young girl willing to face great battles in a small village for the sake of her happiness. Because believe me, dreams are not dead!

(If you enjoyed this story, or you're curious to see how it unfolds, give it a read! This is my first time writing, and one of the reasons I decided to do it was because I missed stories with captivating narratives, the kind of stories that feel worthy of a classic afternoon movie. So, I decided to write one myself. I hope you enjoy it! :)
