Once upon a time In the far away land of the fairies there stood an enchanted forest

In this forest there lived a gnome, his name was Marlo Sprokett. One windy day marlo decided to go and visit his family so he got dressed and off he went. As marlo was on his way to his family’s house it got really cold and windy out and soon there came a strong gust of wind that blew him right off of his feet, the wind blew him.so far away and off course, he ended up in a part of the forest that he had never seen before. As marlo got back on his feet he looked around to see if there was anyone there who could help him find his way back home.

Marlo looked around as he was walking, soon he saw a dwarf whose name was Oliver Budwick, boy was marlo was happy to bump into the dwarf because surely now he would soon be back on his way to his family’s house, but....he would soon find out that Mr. Oliver Budwick was the evil dwarf of the forest.

In the magical forest there was also a fairy princess she was able to sense things that were happening in the forest, The fairy princess sensed that there was trouble so she flew until she found marlo, she tried to warn him that he should be careful of Oliver but just as she was making her way to him she realized that it was to late. The fairy tried her best to get to marlo but became concerned because she knew that she could not fully do so without being seen and attacked by mean old Oliver.

Just then a light bulb went off in the fairys mind, she came up with an idea all her own to use her magical wand to transform herself into a young dwarf so that she could safely approach marlo and warn him of the danger So she dawned herself as a young dwarf and made her way to him, she warned marlo and told him to follow her to safety, Once he and the fairy princess were out of sight oliver the dwarf noticed that he had been tricked, he became very angry and went searching for marlo and the fairy princess, After a while he found them trying to hide between the bushes.

The fairy told marlo to find and climb the tallest tree that he saw and hide there, but he became fearful that the evil dwarf oliver would somehow attack the fairy princess and harm her so he climbed back down the tree to stay close to the fairy princess.

Marlo the gnome saw Oliver from a distance and decided to sneak up on him, when he got close enough he grabbed him from behind. Oliver the dwarf looked back to see who grabbed him but when he looked he saw that nobody was there,

Oliver became confused and scared so he took off running back into the forest.

The fairy princess and marlo the gnome smiled because they were now safe from Oliver the dwarf, The fairy princess swooped down to marlo and told him how proud she was of him and that he had done a really good job. The fairy princess then invited marlo the gnome back to her house to celebrate with her and all the other magical creatures of the forest, they were now all safe from Oliver because of the bravery of the fairy princess and Marlo the gnome.

Marlo still had his heart set on going to see his family so he asked the fairy princess for her help, The fairy princess assured marlo the gnome that After their celebration she she would stay with him and help him find his way to his parents house.

THE END.
