Prelude

The young Centaur watched from behind trees. Five of his father's people, including him, were trying to stop humans from mining in a certain area that the centaurs had been keeping watch over since the first war of Second Earth.

" You do not know what you are doing!" His father told the leader of the humans. " I don't care about any of your old legends you hear me!," the apperant leader of the humans, said. "They don't mean anything to my people!" the human said.

" That is something that could be argued." Evan's father said, in a cold voice.

The human paid no attention to this and turned back to his work.

" This is your last warning." Evan's father said.

In response the human in charge hit the wall of dirt with his pike. At the same time an arrow shot him, and the wall started trembling. The humans that were left alive ran out of there, as Evan's father yelled to his warriors to run.

As Evan watched, the wall started shaking even more and pieces started crumbling away from it. A dark smoke appeared out of the other side of the wall, and Evan could hear a wicked voice laughing. With some surprise he realized that the smoke was the one laughing. The humans seemed to have been frozen in place as the smoke came together and a tall woman with a long black dress, that looked as if had been made of black spider webs , long black nails, long black hair, and the most evil of faces Evan had ever seen, appeared. Her face was dark and full of wrinkles, her lips were to wide and small while her eyes were completely black without a sign of white in them. His fathers warriors stood in the woods with arrows ready.

The woman looked around and smiled. " Finally I have been released!" She came towards one of the humans who couldn't move. She touched his arm. Evan had a hard time trying not to scream or throw up as the man screamed in pain, as his flesh dried up and he became a skeleton, then turned into dust that the wind carried away.

She laughed as the other humans started running away in terror.

She was in front of every one of them as they tried to run. Then she went after the Centaurs. Evan shook with terror as he watched all of his people, including his father, turn into dust. The woman looked up at the sky and raised her hands. " I, Chaos have retuned to claim what's mine! This planet belongs to me! And I shall have it!" Black smoke drifted from her fingers towards the sky and laughed a cruel laugh, as black clouds started gathering. " I am back!" in a gust of wind she was gone.

Evan waited a minute before he burst into tears. He should have listened to his mother when she told him not to follow. " There is no time to cry now." Evan looked up to see a young girl, actually a young fairy. She had blue hair and sapphire eyes. She wore a dress made in the fashion of her people, it was sky blue.

" Who are you?" he asked through his tears. The girl smiled. " I'm Kisha, and you are?" Evan wiped his eyes. " My name's Evan."

" Nice to meet you Evan." Kisha said. Her smile faded as she looked to where Chaos had been held minutes ago. " Chaos has been freed, if we wish to keep our planet as it is, then we must find a way to the Wizards Island."

Evan's eyes grew wide. " My older brother lives there, he trains under the greatest Wizard Vennsile."

Kisha's smile reappeared. " Then we have something in common, my older sister Lily, also trains under him." She sighted. " She came to visit us some time ago but after three weeks she left, I haven't seen her for such a long time now." Evan nodded. " I know what you mean, but at least you had your sister for three weeks. Nolion only stayed for a week and a half then left." both sighted. " Well, we'll be seeing them soon. We have to find a way to the island before it's to late."

Evan cheered up somewhat. The thought of seeing his brother after so long made him happy, he would put everything to rights now that their father was gone. " How do we get to the island?" Evan asked.

" We go to the closest port and take a ship that is headed there, even if we have to hide or work." Kisha seemed determined to do this. Evan smiled. If she could do this so could he. " Lead the way!" he said. Kisha lifted her head and did as he had asked.

Frodo watched the storm that had appeared out of nowhere. " This storm is strange Mr. Frodo," Sam said. " It was a nice day just five minutes ago."

" There is something amiss Sam. Not here or Middle Earth but in Second Earth and whatever it is I plan to try and help." Sam looked at Frodo with a puzzled expression on his face. " What do you mean?" Sam asked. Frodo shook his head and went to find Gandalf; he would know what to do.

Gimli and Legolas wondered very much why this storm had suddenly appeared. Not minutes ago it had been clear.

" The storm is changing our path!" Gimli shouted to Legolas through the wind. " I do not know how this happened, but we cannot fight against this storm, we will let the storm pass and then try to find our path once again." Legolas yelled over the sound of the wind. Gimli nodded.
