One day a 10 year old boy was going for a walk by himself until he saw fog covering the whole pathway
in front of him. He was scared to go through the fog but he was also conscious. He slowly walked
through the fog while wondering what would be at the end of it. He carried on walking and when he got
to the end of the fog he saw this one tall thin tree.

It had moist throughout the whole tree and the leaves where light green and pink. He saw a oval shaped
portal on the tree and there was green smoke coming out of it. He remembered before he left his
parents said it him to be home in 20 minutes and he’s already been out for 50 minutes but he couldn’t
help walking into the portal.

When he walked in he shut his eyes for 10 seconds and it teleported him to a huge mansion to himself.
He was shocked but happy at the same time. 10 years later he’s been living there making memes in his
mansion everyday.

The Magic Tree

It was 3:15 just after school, when Jake was walking home and passed by a tree. Jake loved
to pull pranks on his friends when… … BOO! AAAHHH! Screamed Jake with fear. “Who was
that?” said Jake. “It was me the Magic Tree” said the Magic Tree. Jake was frightened so he
called his mum. Jake’s mum arrived after work and saw the tree. “What’s wrong with it?” said
Jake’s mum.

After 30 minutes of staring at the Magic Tree Jake’s friend popped out of the bushes and
scared Jake and his mum. “Got you!” said Jeremy. The Tree on the platform fell down. “The
tree is fake!” screamed Jake. “Yes it is” replied Jeremy. “What did you do this for?” said Jake.
“Because you prank me and my other friends all the time” Jeremy replied, from that point
on Jake didn’t prank his friends anymore.

This entire world is so green
It seems so fresh and clean
I wonder who is the ruler of this beautiful
Look at that pathway through the tree kingdom
I see a figure appearing in the distance
And have a look at what I can see He seems to be flying with such freedom
I know now who this is at an instance
Look at the doorway through another dimension
He is the protector of worlds that uses a ring
WOW, It certainly has my attention I have to tell Green Lantern that I like his bling!!

As I walk through the portal

I am thinking could this world be for immortals?

Everything was dark in the mountains. Everything on the mountains has died
except one thing, a tree. The tree stood on the mountain and in it was a green
portal. The green portal will take them back in time and have to change
something to make it right and the portal will not close until someone or
something went in it and fix it to make all the trees and animals on the mountain
go back to life. When you’re in the portal it will tell you what to fix and then you
will come back.

 The magic tree

The only tree that had survived the Caribbean earthquake. The only magical
tree in all of peaceful jungle. ALL the other trees were unroot from their places
in the ground expect this one. It was a 1 in 1000 chance that THIS magic tree
would survive and the other trees wouldn’t. maybe because the tree was
magic. well, I’m jane, a police officer and head investigator of the magic tree.
My team and I have found no trace of anyone living in this tree for around 5
years because everything in there is so rusty. today I was walking around the
leafy surrounding of the tree and I stepped on something that snapped in two.
I frantically tried searching among the leaves I had stepped on and discovered
a wand.I bought the wand back into the police car and used my laser camera
and found that this wand was 13 cm long and was made by yew wood and
contained a phoenix feather. I hurried back into the investigation site and told
my team that the Peaceful village contained not only humans but a wizard or a
witch.

 The Magic Tree
The tree was all that remained, all around it there was only ash and twigs from the other trees. It was
different to the others, when the fire had struck it, all it did was to peel away the bark to reveal a
magical, green portal! The ferocious forest fire had destroyed all the other trees that made the forest
feel like home to the magic tree, so in return to nature, it had sucked up the remains of the other trees
into the portal . . . .

This was bad news, because if the storm that followed the fire didn’t stop soon, the tree would keep on
sucking until Earth was destroyed! The tree’s leaves had wilted and shrivelled up, but it’s roots were still
firmly holding the tree in the ground. Rain and hail thundered down onto the tree, but around the tree a
bubble had formed.”Then bang!” The bubble popped and as it did, it sounded like a gunshot, and the
storm stopped. Inside the portal was a whirlwind of trees putting themselves back together.

Now the sound of a machine gun rang out across the ground, and trees started shooting out of the
portal and into the black sky! It was clear that there was something special about all the trees in the
forest. Inside the portal, it was calm, and all you could see was a green sky and a glowing moon. The
trees in the sky that had not long ago flown out of the portal started to head into space!

Continue to next page . . .

1 year later the portal closed and the trees planted themselves on the sun, right smack on the top. This
didn’t have anything to do with the trees though! It was all a curse! A little girl had once been cursed by
an evil witch when she was only 2, and had got trapped on the sun. The only way for her to come back
to Earth was if there was a terrible storm that made trees plant themselves on the sun with her, the girl
had been waiting for this day for 3 whole years, she was now 5 years old.

The girl squealed with joy as wings sprouted from her back and she was boosted like a rocket back to
Earth. She landed in her own back garden! Her parents ran out of the house as fast as they could to
smother their long lost daughter in hugs and kisses. They had began to think they would never see her
again. She told them her story inside the house, and her parents listened patiently. They decided not to
take her to school for safety and they all lived together in the house and homeschooled her.

When the girl grew older she passed the story on to her own children, who passed it on through
generations and generations, but after a while the story turned into the little girl being the person who
lived with the man on the moon, which was indeed very wrong, but this couldn’t be fixed because the
girl was long gone by then.

The Magic Tree
Timmy gazed into the portal, amazed of what stood in front of him. He wondered why the
only tree that was standing in the empty plains was magic. Slowly he put his hand through,
on the other side he could feel the cold damp air surrounding his hand. The head was next,
as soon as the head reached the other side he was astonished and was leaning forward so
much he nearly fell over. His whole body was now in the portal.

One step at a time he proceeded forward, not even thinking about turning back. In front of
him stood a giant cardboard box? He was surprised, he wasn’t expecting something as
unusual as this. Going inside he realized that this was a house! A bunk bed to the left and
toilet to the right. Suddenly… BANG! A giant rat came stomping into the house. “This must
be his house,” Timmy thought. Frightened he ran off though the portal and back into the
empty plains. “That’s one trip I will never forget,” he told himself.

Magic trees
The tree was all that remained. A solitary figure, it stood there in defiance of the destruction
surrounding it. The bark had begun to peel away, one piece at a time, joining the wreckage
of other trees that lay scattered across the scorched earth.

This tree was different to the other trees. It contained magic. It contained hope. One day,
the last leaf fell off the tree and landed in a ditch. It was a magic leaf. A few days passed. It
had turned into a plant. It was magnificent. There was more life in the world.

One evening, a boy came through the portal of the magic tree. He was very sad because he
didn’t know where he was. He looked like he was lost. He sat next to the tree. It was
surprisingly comfortable. He watched as the plant grew and grew. After a few days it was
giant - bigger than himself. The plant grew into a tree. It dropped more magic leaves and
more trees started to grow. Over the span of 2 months there were trees all over the land
and life started to form again. It was so amazing. The boy was so happy… within 2 years,
there was life, rivers and trees all across the world and it was all because of one tree.

Magic Tree
Prologue

In a forest you expect to see lots of lush and beautiful trees coming out in all directions. But
in firefly forest all trees has been reduced to rubble except for one lone maple tree. The
Elders of the village nearby said it was as old as time and has magic to transport one child
back in time to save the forest. That child will have a mark given from the gods above. But
the Elders also know that there is a witch in the forest. Not a white witch but a black one
with a heart of coal. The Elders say that the witch will plunge the city into even more havoc
by sending more earthquakes to the city unless at every June they place the youngest baby
of the village into the forest surrounded by 7 elder trees for the witch to take. It always has
to be their by the 16 of June by Midnight or else. . .

The Elders

It was two hours before a baby had to be sent off to the forest. All over the village you could screams of
a woman it was midday and it was a 5 hour trek to get there and a 5 hours and a half to get back so they
had to take the baby now sadly none of the Elders realized that that was the baby with the mark all the
elder misunderstood that for a scratch thought it looked more like an old maple tree on her throat. With
one final tug the elder took the baby from the mad woman’s grasp and walked out the sad looking
cottage they could hear the woman’s curses all the way to the hall where a brave warrior will take the
baby into the forest. This year it was a new warrior taking the baby in the last warrior that took the baby
in was very old and had took many babies in to the forest. Last year he got eaten by a bear the elders
told everyone but they feared that the black witch ate him, because the baby was premature and only
was born a couple hours old before the warrior took off.
-
The village was nearly reduced to rubble, if you take a look from the sky it will look like an abandoned
village with poor peasants running around doing what they do like buying bread for their children but if
you look a bit to the left from the market there will be a gran building. Probable the grandest house for
miles and miles that is where the elders family lived. They are the riches family in the entire village any
spare pennies will go to the elders. So while the rest of the village is living in poverty the elders are
living in luxury.
Continue . . .
-
Even though the elders mistreated the people of the village, villagers treated them like gods. The elders
told the people that the gods had visited them in their dream and told them to become elders and they
could communicate to the gods. This was all rubbish to become a elder you had to be related to an
elder and had to be the oldest boy in your household. How the first elder got chosen was a mystery on
the day of your coronation you get told the truth bye he oldest elder and you swear to tell nobody, if you
do. You will get executed with that person.
