Prologue – Outcast of Ellinia

Grendel of Ellinia looked out the window in his house. It was raining hard outside. Sighing Grendel turned back to his studies. Outside the peaceful forest of Ellinia, a stranger engulfed by a cloak can be seen.

"I'm back." The stranger said.

Lighting streaked across the sky as her words came from her mouth. The stranger slowly walked towards the forest. Suddenly around 6 mages appeared in front of the stranger.

"Wendy! That's far enough for you." One of them said.

The stranger pulled back the top of the cloak off her to reveal a very young girls face. She had piercing blackish brown eyes and her long silky black hair flowed smoothly down her back.

"I have my rights to come back here anytime I want." She replied.

"Grendel banished you from Ellinia 5 years ago." Another mage said. "And you still have the guts to come back to Ellinia?"

"And who here can stop me?" Wendy asked.

Insulted some of the mages brandished their staffs. The one that lead them stepped out.

"STOP!" he commanded. "Wendy…as leader of this group…I suggest you go back to where you came from."

Wendy laughed, making the aggressors flinch. Wendy's eyes bore into the leader of the mages.

"Why Derek…isn't that place here?" She said before she brandished her own staff.

The mages stared in horror at the staff she wielded in front of them.

"Its not possible…it's the Kage your holding…." Derek said. "The most feared and cursed staff ever made…Wendy…."

"Enough." Wendy said. "If it's a fight you want from me then I'll give you one."

Wendy vanished into the air before all the mages could move a muscle.

"Where did she go!" One of the mages shouted.

"Over here." Came a voice.

The mages turned toward the voice and Wendy is seen standing on one of the trees. She flicked her fingers towards the mages. A second later the ground beneath them exploded in a burst of flames. She then chanted a few words and pointed her staff towards the sky. A lone bolt of lighting shot forth and hit one of the mages that jumped out of the explosion. That mage fell to the ground, stuttered a gasp and went unconscious. The other mages burst out into the opening and started to chant spells of their own.

"Pitiful." Wendy said.

She chanted a few words quickly and pointed her staff at the mages. The sky suddenly started raining huge pieces of ice.

"Its not possible…" said one of the mages before he was pinned down by one of the pieces of ice.

"Josh! NO!" Derek Said. "WENDY! You will pay for this!"

"Try it if you can…fool" She replied.

Derek chanted a few words and swung his staff towards Wendy. Sharp pieces of ice materialized at the staffs tip and shot towards Wendy.

"Such pitiful spells won't work on me." Wendy said before she chanted a few words and inhaled.

She exhaled when the pieces of ice were near her and flames shot out of her mouth. The ice melted easily. Wendy looked at the sky as the first lights of dawn were coming from the clouds.

"It would seem that my time is up…until next time…Derek." She said before vanishing in a cloud of magic.

"You can bet on that." Derek replied before turning towards his injured comrades.
