Grandma: You should never go to that church at night...

Sceptra: Why grandma?

Grandma: I've seen many villagers trying to steal that precious candle but, they return with curses and diseases. 

Sceptra: Okay grandma. I will always keep my promise.

Grandma: Goodnight! Sweet dreams!

Sceptra: Good night grandma!

10 years later

Sceptra: Good morning miss Dilus!

Miss Dilus: Good morning to you Sceptra!

Sceptra: Dad? Are you still crying? Grandma passed away 1 year ago...

Dad: She was the best mother could've ever had! I miss her so much dear...

Sceptra: Calm down Papa... We need to get out of it and do our deeds.

Dad: Ok, as you say, dear.

Sceptra: Mommy! I have a wish!

Mom: What is it, sweety?

Sceptra: I want to sneak into the church and explore if that sparkling candle is evil or not!

Mom: Honey, grandma did say about what she saw when she was little. So I think you should ignore it...

Sceptra: Just a bit inside? Please, mama, I assure you that I will return back home.

Mom: No No No. It's dangerous dear. Abuela told us the good and that is to be safe... ok?

Sceptra: Yes Mom...

At the missilenger's store..............

Sceptra: Oh! Let me help.

Mr Missilenger: Thank you, dear! And as you don't hesitate like my Lilita, I have some work for you.

Sceptra: What is it? Taking up chores is the best! Should I wash the dishes? Should I clean the bookshelf?

Mr Missilenger: None of these... You have to... go to...

Sceptra: Where? To the town's garden?

Mr Missilenger: To the church!

Sceptra: That's an easy job. That's what I wanted to do all these days but I'm also saving grandma's promise.

Mr Missilenger holds Sceptra's hands.................

Mr Missilenger: Please do it for every single villager in our village. There can be a good outcome...

Sceptra: Okay, Okay I'll try my best.

Mrs Missilenger: Sceptra? Come over here! You need to know how to stop that wax.

Sceptra: I'll be right there.

At midnight 12:30 am...............

Mom: Good night everyone!

Dad: Good night! Sweet dreams Sceptra...

Sceptra: You too dad.

Sceptra: I gotta go before Papa starts sleepwalking around the house.

(Sceptra packs her stuff and reaches the main door)

Sceptra: What's that noise?

(Sceptra's dad snores and sleepwalks to the kitchen)

Sceptra: (mutters) Oh dad! When will you stop this continous habit?

(Sceptra sneaks out of her house and tip-toes outside seeking her "always" wish.)

Sceptra:Finally! I get to go out on myself.

Sceptra: Rosemary flowers smell sooo good! Even at night!!

Sceptra: Shops glow no more!

Sceptra: Mr Boatman! I need a trip...

Mr boatman: (Snores)

Sceptra: (Yells) Mr Boatman!

Mr Boatman: Oh yes! My lady... I'm sorry I can't row the boat for today... Please understand my child's health...

Sceptra: Ok... I'll do it myself. He'll be ok. Don't feel bad...

Mr Boatman: Thank you, My lady...

(Sceptra rows her boat to the land near the church)

Sceptra: Finally! The place which I always wanted to explore has come to me!

(Sceptra gets down from the boat and steps on the church's land)

Sceptra: Running past everything to catch that candle and bring peace.

(Church doors open on by its own)

Sceptra: Hello? Is anyone here with me?

(Suddenly the candle goes off)

Sceptra: Hello??? Don't scare me i'm not so scared of spiders either!

(Spider hangs in front of her)

Sceptra: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Ok I'm a bit scared. But show who you are. I'm here to make this village a place with no diseases and harm!

(Candle lights on)

Grandma(Spirit): Darling? Did you... You promised me that you'd never...

Sceptra: Grandma? Is that you? 

Grandma: It's been ages... 

Sceptra: I'm sorry Grandma. I had to break the promise for the villagers and us.

Grandma: Isn't Grandma your favorite? Those villagers, They killed me for no reason.

Sceptra: Do you know about this candle?

Grandma: Usually, the church was the place for prayers of all but now it holds the candle with it. When Abuela was a little girl, The Canadian people gifted us with this precious candle which was given with a curse. Many people were very greedy and they wanted to steal it. Those ladrónes were oblivious and they sneaked through and returned with curses instead of the candle. Nobody knows what happens if you take a step here. So I want you to go back for good mi belleza .

Sceptra:(Sighs) Ok grandma... This candle is inevitable.(Cries) Now no one will live good until this candle melts(Sceptra throws her purse).

(A melting evil wax face appears with an evil laugh)

Evil wax face: Ha! Ha! Ha! I can control anyone in this village to kill you Sceptra! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Sceptra: How do you know my name? 

Evil wax face: Anyone who knows magic can do anything they want to! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

(The evil wax face burns Sceptra's purse)

Sceptra: My purse!(Angrily) You can never stop me! You killed my grandma!

Evil wax face: Yes I did. I'm called the "Precious glow", the "Beauty of wax" and my name is Canaslyn.

(Before the Evil wax face finishes her spell, Sceptra uses fuel on Canaslyn and lights up a matchstick)

Canaslyn: (Shocked) Why am I so oily? Stop it! 

Sceptra: What Mrs. Missilenger said was right! You cannot put spells when your fueled all up with fuel!

Sceptra: Get taste of your own medicine!

(Sceptra throws the matchstick on Canaslyn and it vanished forever)

Sceptra: What's happening to the village?!

(The village turns into a developed city and the dead people come alive)

Mom: ¡Mi vida! Are you ok?

Sceptra: Mom! Estoy bien, no llores!

Dad: Sceptra, Are you safe dear? We were so scared that you'd get a curse!

Sceptra: No way Papa. I was safe and I defended the evil!

(Sceptra's grandma comes alive)

Sceptra: Abuela? Estas viva?

Grandma: mi nieta! You saved our villagers and us from that candle!

(The villagers award Sceptra a gold medal for saving them all)

Mr. Boatman: Sceptra, Gracias for saving my son and all!

Mr and Mrs Missilenger: And thank you for making our wishes come true!

Sceptra: de nada villagers or should I say Citizens?!

(The next day was Sceptra's birthday so everyone celebrated it happily)

Mom: feliz cumpleaños Sceptra!

Sceptra: Gracias Mama, Papa, Abuela and all our citizens!

And everyone lived happily ever after...
