Knowing that death was next Ariana closed her eyes, she waited for a while and nothing happened. She opened her eyes in confusement, a pile of sand lay on the ground in front of her cheap shoes. But did she know inside the treasure box there sat “The Lost Ruby of Kindness”. Ariana’s face glowed in pride; she knew there was something in the box that she can use to shield herself. The strong girl shifted the heavy box into her bag and dragged it up to her back. She had to run to shelter as the army of goblins might have been following her. In the distance Ariana could make out the outline of the rundown palace, she could spend her night there.

Tired of all those carrying and running she sat down in front of the oak tree to have a rest. A shadow moved. Ariana took no notice. It emerged like a ghost, what could happen next? Will the ruby work?
