Theme: Good vs. Evil Once upon a time there was a small clan of the most beautiful leprechauns in the world, and the prettiest of them all was Pamela. Pamela was the biggest since she was human size and had been alive since the beginning of the clan, although she didn’t look a day over 20 at most. Pamela was the strongest around and since she has been the protector of the clan they had no problems. Every one heard of Pamela of the majestic leprechaun clan, she was tall and had very hard, toned muscles that had more power than ten of the strongest men times 20. She knew she was the most powerful in the land and thought no one could challenge her, her thoughts were wrong. In a far off country called Germany there dwelled Gertrude, the Slayer of leprechauns. She was mean and matched Pamela in size and possibly strength. Gertrude craved the majestic leprechauns, for if she ate the beautiful leprechauns she would be the most beautiful women in the land. She began to plan her plot to kill the clan she took everything into consideration except for Pamela; she believed that no one could be as strong as her.

It was a beautiful day in Ireland when Pamela had chills run down her back, she knew something was terribly wrong or that something bad would happen very soon. She quickly strode off on Mimi, her super fast unicorn, to check the perimeters around the Majestic clan's land; she was determined to find what was going wrong. "I promised for as long as I live, this clan will be safe." Pamela said in the stillness of the beautiful day to Mimi. She strode off to talk to the Leader of the leprechauns, to tell her what the feeling had been and what she believed would soon happen to the clan. Her unicorn carried her over the beautiful green grass, which never got to tall, along with the beautiful flowers that grew perfectly inside the clan’s land. When she soon saw the village where the leprechauns lived, that would look like an empty spot to all human eyes; she dismounted the strong brilliant unicorn and instantly began making her way to the Castle where Thumbalina lived. When she got to the castle where Thumbalina lived she ran up the stairs making sure not to hit her head on the low doorways. When Thumbalina saw her, instantly a smile crawled across her face, “Well, hello Pamela! It’s so great to see you!” she came forward and hugged Pamela; she could feel the panic in Pamela’s breathing. “What is wrong? You seem to be here on a mission not a happy visit.” Thumbalina took a step back and studied Pamela. Pamela shifted her weight as she thought of a way to put what she had for seen lightly, but when she opened her mouth the words flew in a panicked voice, “Well I was out watching, like usual, and so I got the horrible feeling and instantly I knew something bad was going to happen. Something that maybe more than I can handle, I promise though no matter how strong I will not give up the fight.” Thumbalina’s face was pale but still held a small smile. “What ever it may be I know we will be safe with you here.” This calmed Pamela and she bowed then exited the room, planning on training becoming as strong as possible before the evil came to destroy the clan. In Germany, Gertrude had all her plans well thought out and was going to head off in the morning. She was planning to fly in on Fluffy, the dragon whose scales shone bright green and blue even with out sunlight she shone. Her fire was the hottest with bright orange scorching everything in sight, everything besides her owner. Gertrude loaded her sward and shield along with other things and decided that tonight would be a great night to head out that way she could get there sooner. Pamela trained every night with the help of some of the Warrior Leprechauns hoping to be as strong as possible and for four days as Gertrude flew to Ireland, she trained with out rest. The Fourth night, as Gertie was making her way closer, her and the rest of the warriors laid in the fluffy, green grass watching the stars as their enemy got closer. When morning came Pamela could feel that the Evil Presence was only miles away and would be here very soon but still she had no idea what they were trying to come for. “Maybe it’s the magic rainbow dust that they wanted,” she thought, “Or maybe the unicorns that grazed here, or possibly they are another clan that envies the Majesty’s clan beauty.” Pam’s mind wondered all the possibilities she could think of but knew that if she was right, she and the warriors will be able to defeat them. Soon a loud thud sounded and all the Warriors jumped, all wondered the same thing but did not bother to speak it. She grabbed her sword and shield, mounted her unicorn, Mimi, and road of to meet the evil thing that awaited her. All the warriors followed her lead, they rode as fast as the most powerful wind could blow, and making sure to meet the Evil thing before it could reach the village. As they came to the end of the boundaries of their land all came to a halt as they saw Gertrude slide off the giant bright green and blue Dragon. Gertrude was the same size as Pamela and looked a lot like her almost as if they could be twins: tall, beautiful, and very muscular, but her muscles and face had a sense of anger to them. Her long dark brunette hair blew in the wind as she shortened the distance between them. Each girl knew what was ahead of them; a long bloody battle where only one would survive. They didn’t know what the outcome would be but they were both ready to fight till the end. And then, their eyes met one raging stare with another. Pamela knew it was up to her to save the clan; with her faithful unicorn by her side she stepped forward to meet her adversary. Gertie whistled to her dragon and in a single breath the dragon had Mimi in her grasp. That was Gertie’s first mistake; the bond that Pamela had with her unicorn was a very powerful thing. Pamela was overcome with anger, and she was not about to let this awful creature cause any more harm. She looked at Mimi. The unicorn wriggled her way out of the dragons grasp and sent it a powerful kick that sent the dragons head reeling. Pamela knew Mimi had the dragon under control so she returned her attention back to the battle at hand. Gertie fought dirty and Pamela had to be aware of every move. Gertie came from behind and gave Pamela a horrible blow knocking her to the ground. Pamela was hurt, but she knew she had to defeat her enemy so she staggered to her feet. The battle went on and they fought through the valleys along the border; both girls were becoming tired. Then Pamela drew on her last ounce of strength and round house kicked Gertie in the face! Gertie fell to the ground never to rise again. Pamela sat there exhausted, she was relived that the clan was again safe. In a moment Mimi was at her side; she was cut and scraped but she too, had defeated the dragon (escaping its horrific flames). The two heroes started their journey back to the village. When they arrived home they were met with cheers of gratitude. The leprechauns had been so worried, and finally they were filled with relief. An immaculate feast was waiting for them in the City Hall. The village celebrated the victory together cheerfully. Never again was the kingdom of the leprechauns challenged. All the land new that Pamela and her unicorn Mimi could never be defeated, no matter how strong or courageous the challenger was they would never win.
