“Oof! Zoe! Look out! You nearly ran right into me!”
~…Walking with a steady confidence, the youngest, greatest fairy magician warrior avoided every obstacle in her path. All too soon, she stood gazing up at the impossible iron gates through which she knew she must enter…~
“Move!”
“Hurry up, Zoe! You’re going to be late for class.”
~…Recognizing a new sense of urgency, the youngest, greatest fairy magician warrior uttered the magic words, opened the door, and ran at the speed of lightening to the room where the stern, demanding instructor of magicians resided – waiting as usual to reprimand and scold the youngest, greatest fairy magician at every possible opportunity…~
“Zoe Christine Allen! How many times do I have to tell you? Do NOT run in the hallways!”
“Sorry, Mrs. Alderson. I was just…”
“You were just what? Don’t you ever stop to think about what you’re doing? Now get to class – and try to put something in that head of yours by paying attention to what’s going on.”

~…With a renewed – yet cautious – urgency, the youngest, greatest fairy magician warrior continued on at a fast pace, being careful not to run and once again bring down the wrath of the all-powerful Enforcer-of-all-things-within-the-realm-of-the-dark-castle. Success was within reach…and then rang the Bell-of-Doom, signaling the death of free-time to anyone not safely within the confines of their predetermined destinations…~

She then floated back to her seat and gazed up at the daily math problems – her first challenge of the learning day, but one she could breeze through easily – a secret code she would use to unlock the secrets of the evil elf, Dargon and so save all the earth from the darkness of stupidity. With a confident smile, she…~
“Zoe! At least pick up your pencil, and try to do the problems. You should know how to do these problems – we’ve been talking about them for the last couple of days.”

“Emily, I just don’t know what to do about that girl – it’s as though I try and I try to fill that head of hers, but nothing stays in there.”
“Don’t be discouraged, Nora. I know it’s difficult having Zoe in your class, but you have to realize that children learn at different speeds. Zoe may just be one of those who thinks and learns things at a slower rate.”
---------------------------------------
~…The youngest, greatest fairy magician warrior intently studied the location and geography of each location on the map. When the evil elf, Dargon, attacked, she would be prepared with a brilliant defense, due to her superior knowledge of the land and people of that nation. Success was within sight as she picked up her pencil and began sketching out her highly-developed plans…~
