"Sophie's Spellbinding Discovery" by maddie_bangz
BOOM! An explosion sounded through the trees in the forest, shaking their leaves and causing the critters throughout to scatter in shock. Under the cover of a thick patch of tree leaves, fluorescent green smoke rose out of the chimney of a dilapidated shack, causing the leaves the smoke touched to immediately sizzle and burn before disappearing into the air. Inside the shack, Sophie the Swamp Witch paced around her large, bubbling cauldron. Her beloved Meowclops snored softly in its bed, completely unfazed with the explosion that had just shot out of the cauldron. “This isn’t working…” Sophie grumbled to herself, flicking through the pages of her current spell book as she tossed another Twirly Fruit over her shoulder and listened as it landed in the cauldron with a plop. The bubbling liquid inside hissed but didn’t explode like before. Sophie shrugged and continued to flip the pages haphazardly. The gloves she wore stuck to the pages, and she growled in irritation. She reached her hand into her chest of ingredients, feeling around until she finally found what she needed.

The village was gone. Well, not gone, but smashed into splinters on the ground wasn’t much better. It made grim sense. It wasn’t built to deal with the wind. Nothing was built to deal with this wind.
