Chapter 1: The Emblem"I'm soooo bored", moaned Kara Davies for the umpteenth time that day.
It was a dreary rainy day, and the girls had gone to the library at Ravenswood in hopes of finding something to do. They hadn't had any calls for help from Zack or the Fairymentals in a while, and even the Dark Sorceress and the Spider Witch seemed to have stopped their antics-at least for a little while.
"We know!", growled Adriane Charday. "If you're so bored, why don't you check on the website?"
"Fine", replied the blonde girl as she got up from an old leather armchair and went to the computer just as a curly haired redhead entered the room. "Hey look who finally came back."
"Sorry it took me so long", Emily Fletcher said, putting the bag she was carrying down onto a table, "but a certain ferret wouldn't stop bugging me about which chips to get."
A small furry brown head popped up from the inside of her jacket. "That's elf-turned-ferret to you", replied a disgruntled Ozzie as he wriggled his way out and landed, rather ungracefully, on the desk. "For your information, she was going to pick up Doritos instead of Tostitos."
"Oh, what a tragedy that would have been!", quipped the black haired Adriane with a smile, coming over to help Emily unpack the snacks.
"Humph. Fine, be that way", said Ozzie as he tried to hide a smile behind a paw.
"Ugh, I hate water! It's ruining my fur!"
"Oh, please. It's just a little rain!"
"Yeah, well you're not the one who spent the last hour grooming!"
Two dripping animals entered the library, arguing all the way in.
"Hi, Lyra. Hey, Dreamer." Emily greeted the wet winged cat and the soaking mistwolf.
"Kara, my fur's all messed up!", Lyra wailed.
"It's WATER!", barked Dreamer. He shook himself off, spraying water everywhere. He smirked at Lyra, who was splashed with the most water. Lyra ignored him as Kara came over with a towel.
"Hey guys, check out what I found!", yelled Ozzie as he climbed down from a set of shelves.
"When did you get up there?", asked Adriane.
"Doesn't matter. What does matter is this."
In Ozzie's paw was a small emblem. It looked like a red and blue yin-yang symbol.
"Let me see it."
Emily took the emblem from his paw and held it up for the others to see.
"Strange. Look the red side looks like a flame while the blue side looks like a water drop", a slightly dryer Lyra said.
Kara took it from Emily and held it up to the light. "Look at how it sparkles in the light-what the?!"
The mysterious emblem suddenly started to shake. Kara squeaked and let go of it, but the symbol stayed in the air. It began to spin. It went faster and faster, growing in size with each rotation.
"It's…It's a p-portal!", yelled Emily as she was dragged into it.
"Oh my gosh!", screamed Kara, following Emily in.
"Dreamer, help!", cried Adriane as she was sucked in as well.
The mistwolf leapt forward with Lyra right behind him, but the mysterious portal closed just as suddenly as it opened. The two animals hit the wall and scrambled to their feet just in time to see the emblem stop spinning. It fell to the ground, now cold and dark like stone.
"They're…They're GONE!!!", wailed Ozzie.
