3. Clyde lives in the Crystal Kingdom. He has the gift of red magic. An evil team of monsters wants to destroy his land. Clyde must fight to protect all that he loves.

- Protagonist: Clyde
*(He’s the hero defending his kingdom — the main character we root for.)*

- Antagonist: Evil team of monsters
*(They are the opposing force trying to destroy what Clyde loves.)*

- Which type of conflict?
➤ Person vs. Supernatural
*Explanation:* While “monsters” might seem like nature, in this context (Crystal Kingdom, red magic), they’re part of a fantasy/supernatural world. The presence of magic and monsters indicates a supernatural conflict, not just nature or society.

> *Note: Some might argue “Person vs. Nature,” but since the setting includes magic and fantastical creatures, “supernatural” is more appropriate.*
