Chapter 1- Magic
Zara peeked into the head mage, Fifer stowe's room. She wanted to see if she could learn more magic, having already mastered the glass spell and the invisible hook spell, and she was trying to learn the 'live' spell.

"Zara? What are you doing?" A familiar voice said. She whirled around, and was relieved to see one of her best friends, Keith Locke. "Nothing." She said casually. He narrowed his eyes. "If by 'nothing' you mean peeking into Fifer's room, then, yes, you have used the word correctly." He shrugged. Zara rolled her eyes at him, all while looking enviously at his component vest. He caught her eye and nodded sympathetically. "You'll be twelve in a month or so." "That's not soon enough. We both know that The Revinir is pushing the borders to Artime." She sighed. "I miss living on Avalor." "I do too." Keith said sadly.

"Wha-Hey! You two! Help!" Sheilia's voice came from the courtyard. They turned around, and saw a red dragon blasting flame all over the courtyard. Keith ran downstairs to help while Zara stayed where she was, next to the window as she was not allowed outside yet. She groaned. Not again. She had to be stuck inside and miss out all the action. She whistled, a high-pitched sound close to a bird's chirp. A silver, blue, and white dragon swooped next to the window, took in what was happening, and flew down to extinguish the flames. "Thanks Astra!" Zara called to her. Fifer came running out of Thisbe-her sister's- room, Thisbe, Rohan, and their three children, Amara, Dennis, and Atala behind her. All of them were older than Zara. "Stand back!" Zara warned her wolf pack. Plunk, a small wolf, whimpered and whined. Clearly she felt the atmospheric disturbance too. "Astra! Can you give me a ride? That's Flame the red and gold!" Thisbe shouted. Astra flew over immediately. "Do you think The Revinir is controlling her?" She asked. "I hope not." Thisbe said grimly.

Thisbe boarded Astra. "Be careful!" Rohan shouted. "Lightning quick!" Thisbe said, flexing her fingers. It was a spell that would make Astra fly faster temporarily, and they zoomed away.

Zara bit her lip. She had to do something. She ran down the steps, leaving a bewildered Rohan behind.
