PROLOGUE

The wizards and witches were bustling around the small clearing which on looking closer was a camping site. In the centre of the clearing stood the glistening hearth, glowing brightly. The clearing was surrounded by tree houses. The trees were the most bizarre amidst the chaos in the deep-rooted, dark woods. The trunks were as dark as a shadow and stood at the height of skyscrapers. As the night neared, the leaves glistened under the moonlight, preparing for their slumber as winter was nearing. The chaos in the clearing was soon turning into a comfortable silence as the hearth danced under the glittering sky, painted by the stars.

Further away from the camping site, a tall girl perched on a tree branch,looked over her surroundings with her midnight blue guarded eyes. A soft breeze blew her shoulder length raven hair along her blue and silver stoned trident pendant.

Along the whispering wind, she swung her legs in a pendular motion. She was wearing combat boots and a shadow-black jeans. A cloak covered her completely till her waist and parted and stopped near her knees. The cloak was of the same colour as her eyes. As the forest fell into silence, she stood on the branch and soon descended down the tree with a disappointed sigh. "I suppose it's time" she whispered to the dark trees as she walked away from the woods, leaving their company. She walked on her path,guided by the starlight as the moon was hidden by the dark clouds of the night.

She came to a stop infront of a huge rock which stood at the same height as her. Taking out a purple crystal, about the size of her fist, she tossed it in the air. In a matter of seconds,it transformed into a galaxy swirl of portal. Her combat boots climbed into the portal,disappearing along the portal as a wind blew by.

The whole area fell into the clutches of the night , the silence only broken by an occasional distant hoot or a soft snore
