Stellar Stories edition 2

“Owlett? Maybe you–you should step back and listen to
the cobra’s orders,” said Alexis.
“Alexis, Alexis, Alexis. You worry too much!” said Owlett.
The snakes started to encompass Owlett. The girls backed
out of the tower slowly.
“Ouch!” cried Owlett as the cobra bit her. “Stay back!”
Owl tried to do her magic. Nothing happened without the
amulet. “What!? Where did—ouch! Where did all my
powers go?”
Owlett finally came out of the guarded ancient building,
bruised and hurt. “I never knew snakes could be tough.”
“Oh…Sly was right. The amulet had all the powers,” said
Alexis.
“No powers or powers, I don’t really care,” said Owlett.
“By the way, me and Alexis thought of a great idea!” said
Charlotte. “What if we built a stable setup for the
diamond? We can use the dead trees as materials.”
“Where would we create it?” asked Owlett.
“Simple! Over there,” said Alexis, pointing to a plain spot.
“Sounds like a plan. Can you please help me lift this tree,
Charlotte?” asked Owlett.
The two forcibly moved a couple of the trees to form a
teepee.
“Looking amazing so far,” said Alexis. “I’ll build the stand.”
“Finished!” said Owlett, adding the last touches in no time.
She placed the diamond on the center stand. “We’ve
accomplished something today that we should be proud
of.”
For the rest of the day, they had a picnic.
“You need to give me the recipe for this strawberry
shortcake,” said Charlotte, chewing her food.
“I made too much. I guess you can keep this whole batch.
You’ll have to head home soon,” said Owlett.
