Hey people! Soooo… this is my first fic, and it took me a long time to actually have the guts to start writing something because I was scared it would suck , yeah, DON'T HATE ME PLEASE! Oh, and BTW, I don't own ROTG, DreamWorks do/does.
CHAPTER 1: how it all started.
My fist memory is of being levitated from what seemed to be the inside of a volcano.
I only felt one thing: Fear. But that was until I saw the moon. It hovered there, shining with such beauty that it deflected all the darkness. One look at it, and I experienced a new feeling: safety. I recovered from my admiration and realized: who was I? Why was I there? Where did I come from? Why did I come out of a freaking volcano? I stopped and looked again at the moon, shining there, and asked: who am I? A voice in my head answered. 'You are Alice, a sorceress. Your duty is to bring life to the fire in each and every child's heart when they need it, and also you will be the one who teaches them to believe in the magic.' I let this sink in. I asked: Why am I here? The moon didn't answer. I felt my feet touch the ground is looked down to see what I looked like. Blood-red hair cascaded down my back all the way to my hips. I touched my head and felt something. I took it off and found that it was a flower crown braided with roses. I took in the rest. A silky wine-colored dress going down to around knee-high. High-cane black combat boots. A leather vest with a hood. Leather gloves (A/N: how are those called when it's like wrist-long gloves plus the actual fingerless gloves?). I took in my surroundings. A hill. A volcano to be exact. I walked a few spats up to a dried-up tree until my foot touched something. I looked down and realized that it was a quiver with scarlet, golden-tipped arrows, together with an olive wood bow with fire designs in the ends. I slung the quiver over my shoulder and held up the bow. I then looked up and thought of how nice would it be if I had some light and suddenly, without knowing why or how, I held out my free hand and watched as it shot flames in the cold night air. I looked at my feet and had an idea. I concentrated and suddenly- just like a rocket would- shot up in the air, my feet pushing me up like turbines in an airplane. I did simple flips here and there, and decided to get exploring. I flew over to what seemed to be a town and hovered lower until my feet touched the ground. I walked over to one of the wandering people and tried to ask her where I was, since I still had no idea. But before I could say anything, the lady literally walked THROUGH me! I just stood there, in confusion, trying to sort out what happened, when I finally recovered from the shock, I decided to just fly away, but then I saw something. A little girl had stood up to a bully who was mocking another girl, probably her little sister. I immediately felt respect towards her, and unconsciously shot a bean of dancing flames to her, where they shone above her head and somehow, I knew exactly what I had done. A blessing, from now on she would have my protection. At that moment I knew that this was my new life purpose: to help whoever asks. I smiled and flew away, happy thoughts flooding my mind.
200 YEARS LATER.
I adjusted my grip on my olive wood bow and hauled my long, crimson hair over my shoulder. I took aim, and shot. A light, much like a fire, burned in the little girl's heart. I watched as she took courage and started singing for her classmates, and smiled. Mission accomplished. I flew out of the window and was surprised by no one other than the one and only Tooth fairy enveloping my thin frame in a rib-crushing hug. 'Ells! So long no see, where have been for the months? 'She asked excitedly. I rolled my eyes. Always happy. 'ya know, sending a bit of bravery and courage around, singing a bit, sending signs, the usual.' I answered. One thing I learned to do is send mystical signs telling children what to do, like an insight. Getting off-topic here. I learned about the big 5 around 5 months after I had gotten out of that volcano. Tooth had been the first one to come greet me, and after that we quickly became friends. Back to the talk. 'I have great news' she announced happily. 'Well, what is it?' I ushered her. For some reason, I was hopeful about her news. And then she spilled the beans 'WE'RE HVING A BALL!'She started clapping like a hyper fangirl.i just stared. 'A ball? As in, volleyball?' I asked in evident confusion and seemed to notice this. 'oh, no, I meant a ball as in a party where people wear fancy clothes and dance in couples.' She described. I nodded. A ball sounded fun, I smiled. 'Sounds fun' I spoke out loud. 'Where?' I asked. 'North pole' she answered, and started flying away, shouting over her shoulders 'come by my castle later so we can prepare together!' I nodded again and smiled to myself. This would be a fun night, especially if I happened to see a certain blue-eyed winter spirit.
