You are about to enter a magical world full of adventure. Anyways I hope you enjoy!

Once there was a boy named Jack who lived with his mystical family. Jack loved his mystical family but he wished he could have mythical powers like the rest of his family. He felt jealous of his family so one day, he headed off to Magical Unicorn Island.

He stopped at an island called Apple of Music to visit some family relatives. His family relatives said, “Get some rest and watch out for flying manta rays.” And Jack was very confused, about what his relatives said.

But he got some rest for the next day anyways. When Jack woke up the next morning, he was surprised that no one was on the island except for a few little creatures who were called glitter critters.

Jack wondered if he could test out his mythical powers on the glitter critters. He decided to try. So he began to focus and to his surprise, his mythical power made the glitter critter glow and fly for a bit before the power faded into the midst of the magical sun.

Jack shook his head unknowingly and headed to visit Isle of Winged Animals, where his mythical friends lived. Once he was there his friends said to play with the winged gold dolphin master and to watch out for dark-winged snakes.

Jack shook his head but he went to play with the winged dolphin master anyways. Then he suddenly saw the flying manta rays. So Jack randomly used his mythical powers to fly one down to him, and he got on.

Then Jack told the manta ray to fly him to the next island. The next island Jack went to was the island of trouble. He went through several singing magical trees that moved when he tried to move.

Jack now understood why his relatives said to watch out for the flying manta rays. When he looked up into the sky he saw the dark-winged snakes where he used his mythical powers to make the snake lead him out of the singing magical trees.

He found himself stuck in a maze of dark-winged animals that were closing in on him. Then in the distance, there was a golden-haired girl who slowly came up to Jack. She introduced herself as Abby, who helped him out of the enclosure.

He now understood why his friends told him that. Abby asked where he was heading, and Jack replied, “To the magical unicorn island ofc!” Abby asked if he wanted company and he said sure.

So Jack used his mythical powers to make himself fly. And Abby followed right behind him. When he got to the magical unicorn island, he went up to the unicorn and said, “I don’t have my mythical powers.”

But the unicorn wisely said, “I see you already have powers.” Jack then realized and smiled. Jack then looked at Abby and asked her if she would want to join them. She said sure.

He and Abby wound up flying back home to his mystical family. A few years later, Abby and Jack got married. All his family friends and animals came to celebrate. And they lived happily for the rest of their time in this magical world.

Anyways that’s the end of the story!

Magical Unicorns In Love

Hey, everyone! Here are some related stories from my blog: https://lilliandarnell.com/2020/12/26/anna-and-hazels-love-story/, https://lilliandarnell.com/2020/03/15/the-princesses-grand-adventure/, and https://lilliandarnell.com/2020/03/09/lisa-and-the-huge-storm/. You are about to enter a magical world of LGBT unicorns. And I hope you enjoy the story!

Once there were two female unicorns named Rosa and Beth who lived in a land called RainbowTopia. The two female unicorns lived with their family and the family all thought all was well or so they thought.

It all happened when Rosa and Beth were chatting in their family’s yard one day. And they felt an undeniable spark between them. They kept talking and Rosa moved to kiss Beth on her unicorn lips.

Startled and scared, Beth ran off to be on her own. Meanwhile, Rosa was left alone to think about her feelings.

Eventually, Rosa realized she loved Beth, more than a sister. So Rosa trotted off to find Beth, who was thinking about how wrong she was to run away from Rosa. When Rosa saw Beth, she broke into a fast trot and kissed Beth on her unicorn lips.

“R-r-r-osa, how did you find me? I love you so much,” said Beth in shock then Beth kisses Rosa back on her unicorn lips. After Rosa and Beth embraced for a while, Rosa asked, “How are we going to tell our family?”

Then Beth went on to explain her idea which was telling the family how they felt about each other. So Rosa and Beth went off to tell the family with hope. Unfortunately, their family didn’t take it so well.

So they had to leave the unicorn family, and live somewhere else. And then Rosa found RainbowRoseTopia. So for many years, Rosa and Beth lived happily there with unicorn babies. One day though, Rosa and Beth’s family called.

The call basically was Rosa and Beth’s family apologizing to them, and asking them to come home. So after several years, Rosa and Beth returned home. And they lived happily ever after.

That’s the end of the story! I hope you enjoyed the story.

A Christmas Story

Hey, everyone! You’re about to read a Christmas story. I hope you enjoy!

Once there was a Christmas angel named Holly. Holly wanted to find a way to make Christmas more memorable than ever.

So Holly set out to do some research. She found that the only way to do that was to put a sprig of holly in doorways.

After Holly spruced up some holly, she went to her friend Mistletoe. Holly told her about her idea and Mistletoe suggested that she transform holly into mistletoe.

Mistletoe said that she’d help with mistletoe. Holly came up with another idea and she said let’s wait until Christmas Eve to do it.

Holly told Mistletoe the plan. The plan was for Mistletoe to stand behind Holly and when Holly gave the signal Mistletoe would change the holly into mistletoe.

Mistletoe agreed to the plan. On Christmas Eve, Holly and Mistletoe tested their magic.

After they tested their magic, they announced that Christmas would never again be the same.

Mistletoe and Holly prepared for the trick fast. By the time, they were prepared everyone was there.

So Mistletoe was standing behind Holly. Holly aimed her hand toward the holly. Holly gave the secret signal to Mistletoe.

When Mistletoe got the signal, she immediately transformed all the hollies into mistletoe.

The people who watched clapped in amazement. Little did they know, the mistletoe and holly was magical.

The people went back to their Christmas celebration. The Christmas spirit was stronger than before.

To this day, you can feel the Christmas spirit presence.

That’s the end of my Christmas story. I hope you enjoyed the story.

A Happy World

Hey, everyone! I just got inspired by a drawing I drew. You’ll see a picture of my drawing at the bottom in this blog post. Anyway, here’s a story based on the drawing.

One day, a bird picked up a seed to eat. A few minutes later, the bird decided that it wasn’t the right seed. The bird threw it back down. That was the beginning of the Happy World.

As the years past, the tree grew until it had several branches and a strong trunk. The strong tree became known as the Happy Tree. The Happy Tree decided to produce a seed. The seed grew with happiness and love. One day, the seed blossomed into a young beautiful tree that didn’t grow much after that point.

The young tree became known as the Amazing Beauty Tree. The Amazing Beauty Tree saw the Happy Tree. Suddenly, she realized that she wanted to know who produced her. She asked the Happy Tree if it was him who planted her. He said yes and Amazing Beauty wanted to produce a seed of her own.

She let the bird fly the seed to the Happy World. The seed became a thin beautiful conifer tree. The tree produced identical seeds until there was almost no room to plant seeds. After that the trees started planting grass seeds. After the grass had grown, there was no room to plant seeds.

A few years later, the several earthquakes that would become the mountains shook the world. The trees, birds, and grass survived. They noticed something different about the landscape and they saw triangular tall figures. They soon realized that they had saw a mountain. About the same time, their roots filled with water and animals.

One year later, humans discovered the Happy World and decided to make a small town out of it. They also made cars, rockets, and kites. The sun, clouds, rain, hail, snow, and thunderstorms were always there but they were nicer than outside of the Happy World. Everyone lived happily. If you go into a forest, you will realize that the Happy World is the forest.

Happy World

The happy world includes geese, ducks, rabbits, birds, car, rocket, city, trees, grass, and more. I hope you enjoy!

Fairyland Adventure

Hey, there! I’ve created the Fairyland Adventure blog series for everyone (especially for fairy lovers to read.) This is the intro of the series. Have fun reading the series!

June 3rd – (At Night)

That night, Lilliana had a dream of a magical car wash and some colorful lights moving. She saw herself in her dream. It instantly disappeared that very night. She wondered what the dream had meant but she wanted to see the same dream again.

June 4th – (Morning)

Lilliana told her mother, Camille about the vision she saw the night before. Lilliana asked Camille if she had any idea what the dream meant.

June 7th – (Night)

After Lilliana saw the dream for 3 nights, she saw that the magical carwash was slowly transforming before her eyes.

June 10th – (Night)

That very night, all of Fairyland appeared before her eyes. Lilliana instantly loved the place she was in. So she went to ask the Fairy Queen about what to do to get into Fairyland and what she would need. The fairy Queen had said that there’ll be a dressing room portal where Lilliana could change into her fairy outfit and wings. When Lilliana comes back, her clothes would be right where she had left them.

June 11th – (Night)

That night, she checked out her amazing portal and she went to explore the place.

That is how Fairyland came to be. Hope you enjoyed this fairyland intro!
