Mother Earth POV –
The Pendant Challenge
Mother Earth: 🧐 "Alright, the four participants are ready. The three things they need: Strength, Courage, Believness.
Contest scores so far:
Natalie: 2
Laura: 1
Rachel: 0
Kristen: 2
Two of them move to the next round 😤. Let's see…
Natalie has Strength ✅
Kristen has Believness ✅
Perfect.
Next test: The Pendant of Queen Elda 😈
Whoever can hold it for at least one minute becomes the substitute.
😁 Author's note: "Why a pendant? Because Elda is a witch queen. Even her stuff has feelings. Touch it wrong… bam! You're punished 😈."
🤔 Mother Earth thinking:
"What about me? I have all three qualities… I can do it, right?"
😈 Nope. Elda is human, I'm spiritual. The curse only reacts to humans.
Don't underestimate Queen Elda 👿. That's why this curse lasted 500 years. She doesn't let ordinary people break it—only she can. That's why I'm helping… because the present king is nice 😇.
Natalie's Turn – Village School
Natalie is teaching at a nearby village school. She's physically weak, but her heart is strong. Her sisters came to help.
Mother Earth gently places the pendant near Natalie's hand.
Natalie, chatting with the kids:
"Ahh!" 😓 (touches the pendant by accident)
Students: "Teacher, what happened?" 🙁
Natalie: "Nothing… haha!" 😅
She touches it again… nothing. Thinking it's dangerous, she throws it away.
Mother Earth: "My gods! Natalie has substituted for Queen Elda! Thank goodness! Should I double-check her?"
😎 "Meh… double-checking is compulsory anyway. Safety first!"
Kristen's Turn – Village Field
Kristen is in the fields, trying to fix infertile soil.
Villager: "Princess, we tried everything… the soil won't grow!" 😕
Kristen: "Okay… 😑"
As she uses her magic, a pendant bursts out of the ground.
Villager: "Oh my god, what is that? 😱"
Kristen approaches and touches it… and disappears!
Villager: 😱
Mother Earth: 😱
Somewhere Else, Other Timeline – Unknown Voice
Unknown: "Your Highness… what happened?" 😊
Mother Earth: facepalm "Oh no… not again!"
