Preface

Sophie's heart thudded as she lifted her arm, hand outstretched, towards the hooded figure in front of her. She could feel the vibrations in the air, could sense the energy radiating out towards her. But it was her last chance. The Emberlarks had already set the flame, burning towards Hogwarts and Lost Cities. In a matter of minutes, all that would remain of the elvin and wizarding magic would be a pile of ashes, scattered in the wind. It was her last chance to save all the innocents who were soon going to die.

Her hand shook as the energy in front of her condensed, gathering together into a tight ball of energy, ready to fracture at any moment. She glanced over at the others, her face sweating, as power coursed through her veins. Streams of light sailed over her head, and explosions rocked the ground under her feat. Cracks spread through the land, and she felt the ancient foundations of Hogwarts itself shake. The four houses which had stood for ages, representing courage, wit, loyalty, and cleverness were about to fall. All she and her friends had worked for, all that the four founders of Hogwarts had worked for, was about to crumble.

She had to stop it now. Before it was too late. But she still trembled and sweated as she felt the pressure around her crack, and the world around her fell silent and still. This was her one chance. She had to stop the Emberlarks, and the fires that would soon destroy her home.

Around her, the air crackled with power. It felt moist and muggy, like the air before a storm. Tears filled her eyes as the realization came to her that this may be her last moment alive. As the tears blurred her vision, she saw a line of fire snaking it's way towards the tall stone castle ahead.

The flame had been set. And now it would burn.

Thank you again for reading! I know that this was really short, but I couldn't find anything to write. I promise that the real chapters will be longer, though. I hope you enjoyed this preface.
