Terra Eterna / Forever Earth
The female magician raised her arms, lifting herself off of the ground. Beside her, her brother- Patrick- stood watching in amazement. A minute ago, Patrick would have never believed that his sister could levitate, even fly, but now, watching it all only inches away, his jaw was dropped, his eyes wide in shock and amazement.
Her arms waving back and forth, the female magician called the dog- Tanner- up from his perch on the bed and into her arms. The dog was startled, and began to bark, but Patrick calmed him immediately. The hood that the magician wore fell backwards, revieling her long auburn hair, tied back in a braid, her small ears, and a small smile across her lips.
Renee- the magician- laughed as the dog licked her face, but the laugh was cut short.
"I need to leave Earth, it's too dangerous for me here," she said, her pale face now holding a sad smile.
Patrick looked up at her, wondering what the heck she meant by leaving earth.
Where else could she go. Patrick stood, his power arms and legs flexing.
"Where?" he asked, replying to her previous statement. Renee looked at him, not catching onto the fact that he was replying to her.
"Oh... where away from earth..." she said, catching on after several seconds, "To the land of magic. I can't stay on earth, the place of no magic, I must go to... the land of monstrous beings..."
Patrick looked at her as if she was crazy, then got up, looking at her in a new way.
"They always said this would come, that someone would be born as evil..." his sentence trailed off as Renee's eyes began to tear up.
"You think I'm eveil!?" she asked him, turning away. Patrick walked around her, facing her directly, and nodding.
The blade came fast, the shining metal of a knife flashing across Renee's arm. Red liquid poured out of her, the blood dripping fast. Again the knife moved across through the air, blood pouring out from the gash on Renee's leg. Tanner yelped, then barked loudly, baring his fangs at Patrick- who simply shrugged- kicking his foot out, and the dog flew across the room. Renee had gotten back to her feet, tears streaming out of her eyes, her vision blurred.
The blade moved forwards again, though this time it did not make it to Renee. A hand burst through the floor of the room, Patrick falling back. The hand was followed by an arm, and then the body of a beast. The floor began to crumble underneath the huge weight, and soon Patrick, Renee, Tanner and the beast collapsed on the ground floor.
The beast picked up Renee and began to run. Ptarick, not far behind them, flashed the knife in the sun's rays, the gleam pointed directly at Renee's assailant. The knife tore through the air, striking the hide of the beast, but nothing more. Patrick collapsed, his eyes rolling back in his head as the dog bit down hard on his leg. Then everything went black...
...Renee's eyes opened, and the sight of the beast from the pond gave her the energy to sit up.
"The magician of Terra Eterna needs help, and so do my people. Come with me, and all shall be well..."
