Once upon a time, in a bright village, there lived a kind wizard named Aureus. He was soft and gentle. He wore a blue robe. He wore a tall hat. He liked to smile. He liked to wave. But he was shy. He did not use his magic wand for big spells. He was small and careful.
One day, a funny friend came. The friend was a Time Traveler. She wore a shiny coat. She wore bright boots. She landed on a soft road. She hummed a happy tune. She said, Hello, Aureus! I am from far away. I come to learn magic with you. Are you ready? Aureus felt his heart beat fast. He smiled. He nodded his head. He said, I will try.
They walked together. They walked past green grass. They walked past red flowers. They walked past tall trees. They saw a golden chest under a tree. They saw a golden chest under a rock. They found two shiny coins. They found a small key too. They picked all. They felt joy. They felt hope.
Suddenly, a shadow moved. A Spellcaster stepped out. He wore a dark cloak. He wore a tall crown. He frowned and sneered. He said, That key belongs to me. Give it back. Aureus felt fear. The Time Traveler held her coat. She said, No! This gift is for learning magic. We will not give it up. The Spellcaster laughed. He raised his arm. A small bolt of dark spark flew. It hit a tiny bush. The bush shook. Leaves fell.
Aureus felt brave. He lifted his wand. He said, I try. Light beams flew out. They were bright. They were warm. The Spellcaster blinked. Dark sparks faded. The Spellcaster stepped back. He said, No! You win this time. He vanished in a swirl. Aureus and the Time Traveler cheered. They jumped up. They smiled big.
They opened the golden chest. They found soft candy. They found a tiny book. The book was full of magic spells. Aureus held the book. He felt proud. He felt happy. He said, I will learn magic. I will be brave. He gave a piece of candy to the Time Traveler. She said, Thank you. She ate candy. She laughed.
The sun began to set. The sky turned pink. The village lights turned on. Aureus waved his wand. He made a small spark. It danced in the sky. The villagers clapped. They cheered for Aureus. They cried, You did it! You are brave! Aureus saw happy faces. He felt warm inside. He learned a new magic skill. He learned to be brave and kind. He learned that he could try.
That night, Aureus held his wand. He held his new spell book. He held a candy coin. He felt proud. He snuggled in his bed. He closed his eyes. He dreamed of magic lights and new adventures. He dreamed of his gentle village. He dreamed of friends near and far. He knew he could do magic when he was ready. And he knew he was never alone. The end.
