New story from Lillian Darnell …

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 ….
