Alicia’s Journey

Alicia has special powers, but she doesn’t know it yet. She is on a journey. Earlier on, her father was kidnapped by a powerful wizard to work for him as a slave. Despite her fear, she must travel the long, dusty roads to find her father. Now she is at a forked path, and must make a decision to go left or right.

Alicia

She has been walking for hours and it is getting dark. She is exhausted and just on the brink of collapsing, but she is determined to find her father and wants to go on. Should she :

1. Rest for a while 2. Keep on walking

She sets up camp and falls asleep almost immediately, but her dreams were of the time her father was kidnapped. She remembers the way the powerful wizard looked at her with his dark, cruel eyes and wakes up sweating. She is too shaken to go back to sleep. Though she is still exhausted, she gets up and walks.

Alicia plods on and on along the path. Her legs are numb and she’s hardly aware that she’s even walking. She stumbles along the path and nearly trips over a rock. She is desperate to get to her father, but her legs give way and she crumples onto the ground. As she props herself up with her arms, she sees two yellow eyes gleaming in the dark, looking straight at her. The eyes of a black panther, half-hidden in the dark. Should she 1. Run 2. Stay still

She stays still, trying not to breathe too hard. She stays silent and unmoving, hoping the panther will leave, but suddenly it advances on her, baring its teeth. She can see it in the moonlight, and it looks terrifying. She is scared silly and runs away madly in a zigzag pattern, just like her father has told her to do when being chased.

Seeing the panther has given Alicia an adrenaline rush. She runs with the speed of an Olympic runner. She looks back and nearly crashes into a tree. Lucky for her, the panther doesn’t seem to be following her and she slows down. Dawn is coming, and sunlight streams down on the forest. Alicia can see an old woman, and she looks hungry. Alicia has little food left, but she pities the old woman. Should she 1. Give the old woman her food 2. Keep on walking.

She walks past the old woman and through the forest. All the trees look the same and she soon gets lost and returns to the place she had originally started. She sees the old woman again and takes pity on her. Alicia gives the old woman some food. The old woman tells her where the powerful wizard’s house is.

Alicia gives the old woman all the food she has left. The old woman is grateful and when Alicia asks her where the wizard’s house is, she shows her the way.

While she is doing this, the wizard suddenly comes in and sees her. Alicia is very frightened, but she wants to save her father. Should she 1. Run away2. Stay, fight the wizard

After walking a very long way through the trees, Alicia sees an old stone cottage. She peers in through the window and spots her father, tied up on a chair. She tries to untie them, but the knots have been tied too well.

She goes right and meets a squirrel along the path. To her surprise, the squirrel can talk! She is shocked, but remains calm. She gives the squirrel a few nuts from her bag of food, and the squirrel gratefully tells her that she is on the wrong path to find her father and shows her another way.

She follows the path the squirrel has shown her and she suddenly she sees a horse and a hooded rider, who offers her a ride. Then she notices another small path, a little rocky but she can see a little smoke coming from that direction. She must now choose whether to 1. Follow the rider2. Keep on going on the long, forest road.3. Follow the rocky path towards the smoke

Alicia decides to follow the rocky path towards the smoke. As she goes along the path, the smoke gets thicker and thicker. Soon her head starts to hurt and she can’t breathe properly. Her head is spinning and she falls to the ground in a faint. When she wakes up her head feels much better, and she finds that a man is leaning towards her. He offers to help, but she is not sure if she should trust him. Should she

1. Accept help from the man2. Ignore the rider and go back to the path 3. Scream in his face and run off while he is startled

Alicia decides to accept the man’s help. The man brings her to his house and gives her some soup to eat. As she is eating, Alicia tells the man why she was walking though the forest. The man says that he will help her. He brings her back tho the path. Alicia thanks him gratefully and walks on.

Alicia decides that if she just ignored him and went on the path, he might be offended and capture her. And the man didn’t look very trustworthy. So she screams in his face as loud as she can, and runs off madly before he realises what is happening. The man doesn’t follow her and she gets safely away. She keeps on walking along the path.

Alicia decides to follow the rider. She gets on the horse and the rider asks her,’ What is your name, and why are you in the forest all alone?’ Alicia wants to tell him, but she is not sure if she trusts him. Should she 1. Tell the rider 2. Don’t tell the rider.

Alicia decides that she does not trust the rider. She walks away, along the path amongst the trees.

Alicia decides to tell the rider. She tells him everything. Her name, what happened to her father and why she was in the forest. Suddenly the rider throws back his hood and gives an evil laugh. It is the wizard! The wizard captures her. She will be his slave for eternity!

Alicia runs away in terror, but the wizard catches and imprisons her. The wizard kills her and remains as powerful as ever.

Alicia stays where she is, and bravely fights the wizard. She discovers her special powers, and easily defeats the wizard with them. She saves her father and they both live happily ever after in the wizard’s house.
