The Shadows

Prologue
As the shadows moved in slowly, nothing was heard, not even a footstep. "We have found a gap in the wall, sir."said a shadow demon to his master, the Master of the shadows, Master Darkness. "Good. We will attack tonight. First send the hellhounds in, then a wave of shadow casters, then finally me, but before I'm in, I want the perimeter clear of any magicians or guards. I'm here for the sorcerer."said the master of darkness. As if on cue, dozens of flaming dogs flew for the village as it slept soon to be awoken by the sounds of millions of dogs and villagers screaming. Casting spell after spell, a strong sorcerer flew through the village carrying a child, the queen's child, from harm's way. When she was safe in the wizard tower, he went back for the queen that was running as well towards the tower. When the sorcerer looked around it looked as if they were being attacked be shadows…
Twelve years later…
Chapter 1
"Your highness, we found the problem and we know how to fix it, but we need the sorcerer's help." said a kingdom guard.
"Call me Miceiry and I'm willing to help, on one condition, that you let me teach your daughter, Queen Yana." commented the just arriving sorcerer.
"If I let you teach my daughter will you swear on the seven stars of Fornt that she will be safe and protected from the shadows? Or will she be cramming her head with junk all her life?" said the queen in a bossy but stern way.
"I swear it" said Miceiry with a glint of excitement in his eyes.
"Then it will be done. What do we need?" said Queen Yana. Month by month the days went on with the building of the "New Beginning". After the wall was built and secured with a security spell that if ever even tried to break the caster would be killed. After four months of building the work was done and Miceiry was ready to teach the daughter of the queen, Eli. On the first day of practice nine year old Eli found herself casting spells quite quickly at first. It started with simple light and levitation spells but then it got big like fire balls and wind spells. After three years of hard work Eli finally mastered the skill of magic.
"Well," said Miceiry as he approached the young princess "you have finally mastered the art of magic after this last lessen you will be a fully fledged mage."
"But I thought the teleporting test was the last one?" said the confused yet confident young girl.
"You must sneak into the castle and steel your mother's favorite jewel earrings without anyone noticing."
"But that would be, that would be-"
"Stealing, yes, I know"
"Well I could never steal from my mo-"
"You pass" interrupted Miceiry.
"What? I pass?"
"Yes, that was the test," explained Miceiry "It was testing you loyalty. You are now a Mage." As he said this a translucent gold ring came out of Miceiry's chest and circled around Eli. "I am proud." Said Miceiry as Eli vanished into thin air.
