CREATIVE WRITING

Welcome to Pokemon Crossfire's Creative Writing competition! I am your host and judge, LKWayvern! Participating in this section is simple. Just make a short story based off of the prompt I give you, and incorporating any restrictions or parameters I specify in it.
Your short story will be read by me, and points distributed based off of the four following categories, each of them with twenty five points:

Originality Is this story something I've read half a million times? Is it a classic with an unexpected twist? Is it something I've never seen anything similar to before? Blow my mind with your creativity and make your story stand out to earn points in this category.
Characters Characters can make or break a story. Those with excellent command of characters, or can create a strong character-driven story, will end up with most of the points from this category.
Coherency Did your story flow? Was it easy to follow or did it jump around at random?
Spelling and Grammar How legible was the language used in your story?

Before we begin, I'd like for you to follow a couple rules. First of all, I'd like for these stories to be rated at PG-13. Meaning excessive swearing, excessive blood, and certain intimate situations are not allowed. Second, please do not disrespect real people in your stories, especially those on this website. Treat your fellow competitors with respect.
Also, in order to keep the competition all on even footing, you will not be allowed to use stories created prior to the round. In that vein, plagiarism is not allowed. Ever. Do not steal someone else's story to use for your entry, it's disrespectful, rude, and lazy.

Now, shall we move onto the first round?

Event 1
No time like the present! For our first challenge in the Creative Writing section of Pokemon Crossfire, you will have to write a short story centered around the theme of time!
Time is a rather broad topic. Time travel stories, stories told out of order, stories about prophecies, the possibilities are practically endless! So let’s add a couple parameters, shall we?
1) Supernatural Elements. Whether it be magic or manticores, ghosts or griffons, benign or malign, some kind of supernatural phenomenon or entity must be present in your story.
2) I’ll Spread My Wings. Include butterflies somehow in your story. They have some very interesting, contrasting meanings and symbolism that may inspire you.
3) May the Best One Win! Include a contest of some sort within your story!

You have two weeks.
