Backfire
Backfire
Prologue
The stone walls glistened in the moonlight, showing the water's reflecting from the bowl. It was long after dusk, alerting the night animals to wake up where they took their roles of prey and predator. The wind was slow and light-hearted, picking up the odd autumn leave. The leaves swirled and danced, rattling and scurrying across the ground just outside the cave.
A fox cub pounced on a brown leaf. It fell to the ground, beneath the white-stocking paws making a soft crunching noise. This alerted his sister, who became curious and investigated the thing that was making the noise. Two black masked noses, rubbed against each other in greeting, before circling each other, signalling a battle of leap and yap. The game started, the cubs laughing in their own way, but it came to an abrupt end. A flash of electric purple landed just in front of the cubs, startling them. They jumped back, black eyes wide with fright, their mouths hanging open, as they panted from their game. Another flash of light hit their front paws, burning them ever so slightly making them howl and yap. They stumbled backwards in ecstasy, fearing for their lives as the lights gained on them. Two tall humans stepped out of the brush, annoyance and amusement painted on their faces as the two baby foxes scrambled out of the clearing.
"So what are you after then, young Prince?" A soft, female voice asked. The female looked up into the eyes of the other, a man, a tall man, his features shadowed by the night.
"I seek help from a magical being." The man with a rough voice replied.
"I have studied magic for many years, young prince, now what would do you request if I offer my service?" There was a pause, and the man stood up straighter, showing much more confidence. His stance stiffened and his hands clenched into fists, turning the flesh white. The man turned to look at the sorceress with stone cold, brown eyes.
"To kill the boy…Merlin!"
Weee, the sequel came up fast didn't it? I got so bored when I was sleeping in my dad's house (it has no internet which equals no fanfiction, no!) So you will probably see 2 chapters up straight away. (depends how busy I get seen as I'm helping my Dad move house!) Do you like it so far?
