Elena was a witch-in-training, practicing her spells at the academy. She was having a difficult time, as her magic was not as powerful as her peers' yet.

Even when her broom broke, she didn't lose her spirit. As she walked home from the academy one day, an old villager approached her.

The old man gifted Elena a fortune card. The card stated she possessed an ancient royal witch power. Understanding what it meant, she was astounded.

From that day, Elena's magic improved. The card seemed to trigger something within her, unleashing her latent abilities. She felt stronger and more confident.

Elena's newfound growth in power did not go unnoticed. Far away, an evil witch heard of this ancient power and was filled with jealousy.

The evil witch desired this power. She decided to steal the fortune card from Elena and use it to become the most powerful witch ever.

The evil witch began the journey to Elena's village. She planned to reach the village under the cover of the night and steal the fortune card.

Meanwhile, Elena was practicing her spells. Unaware of the evil that was approaching, she continued honing her magical abilities.

As night fell, the evil witch arrived at the outskirts of Elena's village. She conjured a spell to cloak herself in shadows and moved closer.

Elena felt a strange chill. She had an uneasy feeling as if something was approaching. She decided to go home and safeguard the fortune card.

As she was heading home, she saw a shadow move. Startled, she cast a protective spell around her and clutched the card close.

The evil witch revealed herself, demanding the fortune card. However, Elena refused. The stage was set for a magical showdown.

An intense duel started, with both witches casting powerful spells. The village was soon filled with flashes of brilliant magic.

Though inexperienced, Elena's magical abilities were impressive. She could feel the ancient power from the card fueling her spells.

The evil witch, surprised by Elena's strength, launched an all-out attack. This was her final attempt to retrieve the card.

Elena decided to use her ancient power; a spell she had been practicing, but never used. She gathered all her courage and strength.

She released her spell, and an enormous wave of energy knocked the evil witch back. The evil witch was defeated and disappeared.

As dawn broke, Elena returned home victorious. Her village was safe, and she felt a sense of relief and triumph.

After that night, Elena became a symbol of bravery in her village. She continued to grow in her magical abilities, guided by the ancient power.

The evil witch, still nursing her wounds, was furious and humiliated. Yet, she respected Elena's strength and decided to bide her time.

Elena celebrated her victory but remained vigilant. She knew that she might have to face the evil witch again in the future.

Day by day, Elena trained harder. The fortune card served as a reminder of her victory and the ancient power she possessed.

The evil witch, in her lair, was hatching a new plan. She hoped to take Elena by surprise during their next encounter.

Meanwhile, Elena was prepared. She was ready to defend her village and the fortune card if the evil witch ever returned.

Recognizing Elena's courage and power, the academy honored her as a protector. She was declared the true holder of the royal witch power.

Elena felt pride but remained humble. She promised to use her power to protect the ones in need and fight against evil.

The evil witch, far away, heard of this recognition. She felt a strange mix of anger and admiration towards the young witch.

As Elena grew older, her power only became stronger. She was a true symbol of courage, strength, and wisdom in her village.

The evil witch, despite her evil intentions, couldn't help but respect this young witch who had stood up to her.

Elena kept the fortune card safe, always remembering the power it held. She knew she had a responsibility, and she was ready to fulfill it.

As for the evil witch, she had learned a valuable lesson. Power is not just about possessing it, but knowing how to wield it responsibly.

Both Elena and the evil witch lived their lives, aware of each other's existence. They knew they might cross paths again, but when, remained unknown.

The story of Elena and the ancient witch power lived on, becoming a legend in the village. It was a tale of courage, power, and responsibility.

And so, Elena continued her journey as a witch, her story inspiring the young ones, reminding them that true power lies within.

In the end, both Elena and the evil witch had their own paths to follow. They were bound by the ancient power, a connection that would forever remain.
