Happy Day 3 of the Biannual Bibliothon!

Already, I’ve fallen behind in reading but there are a few days this week where I have most of the day free, so I plan to catch up then! Anyways, sorry today’s challenge is up late, but here it is! Today’s host is Becky from CoffeeCocktailsandBooks, and she has challenged us to bookish mad libs. I am super excited for this challenge and here is my entry, enjoy!

The 2019 Winter Biannual Bibliothon was in full swing, but you were craving just a bit more adventure. As you settle in to pick up your current read, Mark Blackthorn barges into your room, surprising you. You’re told that Mark’s land is in trouble and you’re needed to aid in finding the philosopher’s stone, the only item that will restore peace and that you’re the only person that can help.

Ecstatic to finally be the chosen one, you agree to help Mark on this quest! As you begin to travel to their land, you find out that others have tried and failed to retrieve this magical artifact and that you are the last hope. You also find out that because no one has succeeded in this quest, no one knows what you’re up against. There are rumors that you need to defeat 888,887 phoenixes.

Excited, yet nervous, you and Mark locate the wise elven protector of the land to learn as much as you can about this artifact and how to retrieve it. The elf informs you the artifact is located in the deepest part of the Moors, to your dismay. You and Mark venture for 8 months to make it to this new land.

Along your journey, you spent your free hours training to master collaging, hoping this new skill will give you an advantage against your unknown foe. Shortly after arriving at this dangerous land, you finally are face to face with your nemesis, Zara Dearborn.

Though you’ve been training, coming face to face with your foe begins to strike you with fear. Your companion encourages you to be strong and reminds you that you’ve been preparing for this. When you go to use your new skill, you learn that Zara is a master. Nervous, you use the only maneuver you have left. You challenge them to gaming. Taken aback by this tactic, they hesitate before reluctantly accepting your challenge. Filled with new confidence, you quickly defeat them!

Begrudgingly, Zara awards you the magical artifact, vowing revenge.

You and Mark return to their home land, where you are greeted with cheers and applause. You’re thanked repeatedly for returning the artifact and saving the land. Mark even shows their gratitude by giving you a kiss on the cheek.

The next thing you know, you are back home with your book in hand. For a moment, you think you made up the whole thing, but then you see the glint of the magical artifact out of the corner of your eye. When you look over, nothing is there, yet you know your adventure was real. With a smile growing, your turn back to your book, already ready for another adventure.
