“We need to chat.”

1. As darkness continued to spread, June found herself descending into the crypts. She found herself standing inside a large chamber, surrounded by members of the village. The mayor, the blacksmith and even the director of the small playhouse. “What’s.. going on?” June asked, confused. “There’s no time” the mayor said, worry in her voice “We need you June. You’re the only one who can seal THŔ̸̐Ő̸̾M̵͠..” she stopped briefly at the word “Please.” June slowly nodded “Okay.”
   
   Guiding June to a set of four lit candles, the mayor handed her a mirror. With a deep breath, June took the red candle and dripped the wax onto the mirror. She followed with the yellow, green and blue candles and as the wax of the blue hit the glass, the mirror began to glow. “NOW JUNE!” Racing back outside, she found herself facing the deep lord face to face. Holding the mirror and with a determined mind, June recited the chant.
   
   “By the power of Earth, Air, Fire, and Water,
   By the light of the sun and the glow of the moon,
   I cast you out, demon of the deep,
   Return to the depths from whence you came.
   In the name of balance and harmony,
   I banish you back to the watery abyss.”
   
   An unearthly scream, a blinding light and then silence.
   
   In the month that followed, the village rebuilt with June its protector. But on a lonely isle sat a figure, clutching a gem. “Soon master” Natasha whispered. “Soon”
   
   The End?

2. Unsure of what to expect, June headed to the crypts. Lighting a torch and descending into the darkness, June looked around but saw nothing but unmarked coffins. Suddenly she felt a chill and her torch went out. In front of her appeared a cloaked figure, illuminated only by bioluminescent fungi which grew on the dead.
   
   “Welcome, June” the figure said “I’ve been waiting for you”. “Who are you?” June asked. “I have had many names over the years. Director… Announcer… Emperor… Publisher… but my name matters not. A threat stands before us. That pirate Natasha has awoken a being know as THROM. Even now, THROM hunts you down. He seeks to destroy the world. You must stop him.” “Me? How?” asked a puzzled June. “With this” said the figure, handing her a large object. “This is the Deus Ex Nomica. It gives you the power to change the rules”. “Change the rules? The rules of what?” “Everything”. As June held the D.E.M she instinctively knew how to use it.
   
   “I don’t understand. Why can’t you do it yourself?” she asked. “It’s… complicated” came the reply. “But I can just… say we’re back in town, right?” With that the D.E.M. glowed and suddenly they were in the middle of town, just as Natasha’s possessed crew arrived. “Yep”. “And banish Throm?” Natasha’s crew suddenly disappeared. “And restore the town?” The town sprang back to how it looked before the raid. “Yep”. “A bit unsatisfying of a conclusion, innit?” “Yep”
   
   The End

3. June, filled with determination, climbed down the sandstone cliffs and made her way to the hidden crypts. When she gets there her mind races with anciption and her journey flashes before her eyes. She reflects on her long journey to get to this point as it all whooshes back in her head as she walks up to a shadowy figure, Who was this mystery figure?  her heart shakes like a darkness calling out, she hears a voice call out “its time for school”. June jolts awake in her bed. Even though the terror in her dreams was fake, her real heroic feat had just begun: High School. One things for sure, the journey gave her the feeling that she was the director over her own life and her internal sense of pride had awakened and her inner demon vanquished. The end.
