Entwined by Heather Dixon
Morgan Andress, Period 8
Storyboard
I chose to do the storyboard as my project because the book Entwined has many events that I felt were important that I could show through different images rather than explaining them by making a movie or something like that. These events are important because they show the challenges Azalea faced and how she overcame every one of them.
1. Mother gives Azalea her silver handkerchief
Mother gave Azalea her silver handkerchief and she made Azalea promise to take care of her 11 sisters if mother could not. Azalea did not know this would help her later on in the story.
2. Yuletide Ball
The yuletide ball is the ball that happens every year. This year, Azalea was the one throwing the ball because Mother was too sick with the baby to do so. During the ball, Azalea met Lord Bradford, another important character later on in the story. An awful event happens during this ball that will change Azalea and the rest of her families lives forever.
3. Mother has passed away
While Azalea and her sisters were at the ball, Mother had given birth to baby Lily but in the process, she passed away from being too ill. This caused the whole palace to go into mourning for one year which meant the girls could only wear black clothing, they may not have any special meals, and most importantly, no dancing.
4. The King leaves for war
War was coming up which meant the king must leave for war. The girls were so upset with the king because he wasn't there for the girls when they needed him most and him leaving made them upset even more. The girls were now alone in the palace during mourning.
5. Azalea finds the magic pavilion and is introduced to Keeper
One night, Azalea was drifting off to sleep when she heard the sugar teeth from the magic teapot come clicketing into their rooms which awoken Azalea. The sugar teeth was standing by the brick on the fireplace which is where Azalea found a brick with initials carved into it. She remembered her mother telling her stories about magic palaces in the castle but her father closed them all off. Azalea then took the silver handkerchief and rubbed it against the brick which then opened the passage. That's when Azalea met Keeper and found out her and her sisters were welcomed to dance there every night.
6. The 12 sisters swear on silver
The girls were so excited about finding the secret passage that they didn't want anyone to know, especially not the king. They all wanted to know for sure that no one would tell about this. Azalea remembered hearing that if you swore on silver, it makes it permanent to where it's impossible to tell the secret, so the girls chose to do this. This effects all of them later on in the story.
7. Keeper asks Azalea to break the magic in the palace
The girls have been enjoying their time in the magic passage until one night, the Keeper pulled Azalea aside and said he needed some help. He has been trapped in the magic passage for his whole life and he wanted let out. In order to do so, all the magic in the palace needed to be destroyed so the Keeper could get all of his magic back. Keeper asked Azalea to do so for him and Azalea said she would.
8. The King sends invitation for 3 day stay in the castle
With enough pressure on Azalea for having to find all the magic to break for Keeper to be set free, now she has another conflict on her hand. The king believes it's time for one f the princesses to get married, and with Azalea being the oldest, he chooses her. Now, their is an invitation for the whole town to allow a gentleman come stay at the palace for 3 days and they get to spend time with Azalea and her family.
9. Keeper gives Azalea until Christmas to break the magic and set him free
Azalea hasn't found the magic that she needs to break in order to free Keeper yet. One night, while the girls are in the magic forest, Keeper pulled Azalea aside and asked her if she found it yet. Since she had not, the Keeper was starting to get mad and threatened that if she did not find and destroy the object by Christmas, he would not allow her and her sisters to come to the forest anymore to dance.
10. Lord Bradford stays in the palace and Azalea realizes she loves him
The King was planning on not having a gentleman come stay at the palace during Christmas but Azalea had told him he could invite Lord Bradford. Azalea was having a blast and so were the sisters as well. On the last night of Lord Bradford's stay, Azalea was looking for Clover when she found her talking to Lord Teddie. The way Clover was looking and talking to Lord Teddie made Azalea realize Clover was in love and just then, Azalea realized she was in love with Lord Bradford.
11. The sword is the only piece of magic left in the palace and Azalea must get rid of it to free Keeper
The closer Christmas is getting, the more stress Azalea has been feeing. She's looked high and low for the sugar teeth in the castle twice but still has not found them. One day, Azalea finally chose to tell her sisters what was going on and Clover confessed to breaking the magic tea set a while ago. That meant it was a different object in the house that needed to be destroyed. Azalea then remembered how she accidentally got a crack in the sliver sword her father owns. That was right before the Keeper told her she needed to break the object. That meant the sword is what Azalea needed to break.
12. Azalea figures out the Keeper is trying to kill the king and overthrow the palace
One night, Azalea went to talk to the Keeper about giving her more time but that didn't go to well. Instead, the Keeper started to hurt Azalea, and to make matters worse, Keeper brought Mother to see Azalea but Keeper had sewn Mother's lips shut. Azalea found out that night that the Keeper was trying to get his magic back to over throw the kingdom and kill the king. She then knew she needed to keep her and her sisters out of the magic forest for good because she knew what the keeper was capable of.
13. The 11 sisters go into the magic passage without Azalea and the Keeper captures them
Lately, the sisters were starting to get suspicious because Azalea hasn't aloud them to go into the passage since the other night. They've been begging to go but Azalea wouldn't budge. Finally, one night, when Azalea fell asleep, the sisters got up and went into the passage, not knowing what was about to happen. The sword was finally broken some how and Keeper had all his magic back. He put the girls in mirrored boxes and trapped them in the palace, waiting for the king to come.
14. Azalea get's trapped in the magic passage
Azalea woke up in the middle of the night and found out the girls were gone. She ran to the magic forest to realize she was trapped but many dancing people. She knew she had to get out before the Keeper hurt someone.
15. Azalea must find her sisters and the king before the keeper get's to them
Azalea finally escaped the forest and got back to the palace. She needed to find her sisters and the king before something bad happened. She ran all over and found her sisters trapped up in the ballroom.
16. Keeper shot the king and then disappeared into dust
After Azalea got her sisters freed, she had to go find the King to make sure he was still safe. The King had Keeper held down with a gun to him but then the Keeper writhed free, got the gun, and shot the king. Azalea went to hurt him but Keeper had disappeared into dust and was gone.
17. Papa came back to life
The girls were all surrounding their papa crying when all of a sudden Azalea felt a warm rush of wind flow throw her and she thought it was the storm but it turns out it was her. Her sisters were feeling the warmth too and they looked down at their papa and saw he was starting to wake up! This meant their papa was alive and the Keeper was gone for good.
18. Lord Bradford proposes to Azalea
Azalea was walking into the ballroom when she saw Lord Bradford in their as well. They talked about everything that happened and made sure each other were okay. Soon after that, Lord Bradford proposed to Azalea and she said yes! The sisters, Azalea, and Lord Bradford were all dancing in the ballroom when they realized something was missing. Azalea quickly grabbed her papa and made him dance with them too. Everything was now okay and they lived happily ever after.
