The Queen of Colors
I can't believe i was the queen of color.The one and only with this power.
Eddie is from a family of people known for their magical powers. Everyone in the family had their magic. Eddie was seen and treated as an outcast because she was the only one without magic. When everyone is performing their respective magics, Eddie would be observing, not knowing what to do and at the same time feeling dejected.
One day, while walking around, she ventured far deep into a forest. "How would I get home?" This was the question that kept ringing in her mind. When she realized she was lost, she tried retracing her steps but instead found herself in an unknown place radiating with magic. It was so filled with magic that she couldn't believe her eyes. She was overwhelmed with what she had seen—the picture of the enchanted forest.

She later found a way out with the picture of the enchanted forest in mind. She got home and found a crayon box on the shelf in her room. She picked it up, got herself some drawing paper, and started drawing the enchanted forest.
Her cousin came walking into the room and found her drawing. "Hahaha… Eddie, you are drawing rubbish; I mean, what you are drawing is just useless", her cousin said, while in the mood of serious laughter.
Meanwhile, her cousin, Monica, had rubbished her drawing and concluded that she was a disgrace to the family.
Eddie flamed up in anger and left the house. She made her way to the enchanted forest without knowing how to get there.
After walking for hours, she found herself in the same spot in the enchanted forest. She looked around and found an old house. She walked inside and saw a drawing of herself, and she was shocked to see herself holding a crayon box in the image. She saw writing at the base saying "The queen of colors". "How would this be possible?" She soliloquizes within herself.
She then went further into the house just to search for some other things she would see in the house. After checking everywhere, she found out what her magic was. Her magic had to do with drawing and color.
She had the power to draw and color the future. She only needed a crayon box made just for her. A crayon box would only help her realize her unknown magic.
Eddie needed to know more about herself and how to get the crayon box. While digging deeper into her mind, a voice came up, saying, "You are our queen and the queen of all magic. Magic can find its way through you. You are the only one standing out to find the future".
"Who are you? Please show your face", Eddie said as the voice faded away.
"Can you tell me where to start from here?" Eddie asked.
"There are bunches of crayons in your grandmother's care. She only has them but does not know who to use them. When you get there, just tell her to handle them for you. She will not ask any further questions, as she had been instructed to give them to the one who asked". The strange voice came in again and faded.
"Without wasting time, she immediately rushed home and went straight to her grandma and said, "Granny, I need those crayons". Her grandma was shocked to hear Eddie, who does not have the power to magic, ask for crayons. She could not bother asking; instead, she searched where she kept them and handed the crayons to Eddie.
She went to her room and started drawing. She always draws while closing her eyes. She would only get to see what she had drawn when she was done with it. She drew her cousin and how she would be disgraced in a playground.
When her cousin, Monica, got to her room, she found a painting on the wall of Eddie's room. She asked, "Who drew this?"
"You need to be careful, as a child would disgrace you in the playground soon. I think it is not far from now". Eddie said it with all seriousness.
Monica thought she was joking, and she ignored her words. Five days later, Monica was invited to a magical display. She attended and forgot what Eddie had told her.
They were called, and she was called first. She showed her talent, but the little girl was so powerful. She came up to beat Monica. "This little girl cannot defeat me, not in this world", Monica began to brag.
She came up again for the final wrap-up. This girl beat her again with her magic hands. She left for her abode, powerless.
When she came back, she told everyone how a little girl disgraced her. A girl who didn't even look like a person who could wield magic She wept throughout that day. Later, she remembered the warning that Eddie had given her. She ran to Eddie's room and told Eddie about her experience. She finally bowed before Eddie and accepted that she had magic. She asked what could happen to her in the future.
Eddie tried to check her cousin's future but didn't see anything. Her cousin left dejected.
Her cousin went ahead and told the whole family about Eddie's magical power. Her grandma couldn't believe that the crayon box could perform such awesome magic.
From then on, Eddie was known for her strange and shocking magical powers.
THE END

This is the perfect explanation of "the rejected stone shall become the accepted one" All Eddie needed was to listen to herself, and know herself more. Beautiful story.
