November

“Find a purpose to serve, not a lifestyle to live.”

Browns, scarlets, even oranges and golds. Autumn leaves are always a beautiful change in Westhaven. The hot drink sales rise up, and the ice creams come to a stop in sales. Bare branches look chilly, with all the leaves on the ground. Not even the birds can keep the branches warm; It seems even the birds have migrated away to somewhere else warmer, whose going to eat the bread the elder man throws every weekend? Nonetheless, Westhaven is at it’s peak tourist-time in the fall, and with the new mayor elections approaching, it’s who makes the most of tourists that gets ahead in the race.

. . . -Leaves are heard crunching underneath footsteps, the view shifts to boots, and pans up to the arms as the person gets in position to shoot a final arrow. It's shot, and a final yelp is heard from Liam. The person moves towards Liam, and is quickly tackled by Alasia.

Alasia: HE'S MY PRISONER!

-The person headbuts her, and she falls aside, holding her head. The person aims the bow and arrow at her arm, the head of the arrow is silver, with markings on it. 'BP'. The arrow shoots through the key, at the snake's mouth, as it just disappears;

--Alasia looks at the person in shock, as her skin begins aging, her hair goes fully white, and her breathing stops. The view pans up the forest, showing a town on the side, the view pans down to a sign labeled;

"Welcome to Hedgemont, population 852”

-The view fades out, then back in showing the person grabbing Liam, and dragging him through the leaves with the bow and arrows on one hand. The view pans to the sky, showing a few sunsets a few sunrises;

-Then the view shifts down to the ground, fades out, then back in at Alasia’s white hair.



-View shifts to her hand, her fingers begin twitching, and the snake-key/key of wonders reappears. With a blink of an eye, Alasia is thrown of the ground and against a tree, she pants heavily, then clutches her arm, and looks around. Nobody near.

-Alasia stumbles forward, and the view fades. The view re-opens playing an up-beat song, and shows a clothes store in Hedgemont. The view shifts to her taking off a dress, and looking in the mirror, then she runs a hand over the snake-key, and watches her face and body change;

-View fades to black, then reappears showing;
