The preview for this is finally here! Yay! I've been dying to post a fic like this… This is gonna be so much fun ;). Enjoy!


Once upon a time, there was a beautiful goddess, the Harvest Goddess, who watched over the land and sea. She resided in the Goddess Pond with the five harvest sprites; Alan, Collin, Ben, Daren, and Edge. The sprites were magical creatures, but tiny as well; they were no taller than two feet. Each sprite guarded a bell, which were scattered all through the land of Castanet. But no, oh no, these were not ordinary bells, not at all. Each of these bells controlled a different element; fire, earth, water, air, and heart. Put together, they created the balance and peace of Castanet. However, the source from which the sprites acquired their might came from a divine tree situated in the middle of the Goddess Pond. When the tree had started to weaken, the energy of the Goddess and the sprites also weakened, and strength of the bells started to fade. Thus, Castanet was thrown into a period of turmoil.


"Mommy, can you read a little more, please?" an eight-year old girl, Auden, pleaded to her mother. She mustered up the best puppy-dog face she could, and stuck out her bottom lip. Her twin brother, Reese, did the same.

"Sorry, you know the deal. A couple pages a night. Now, go wash up and get ready for bed, and I'll tuck you in." Angela smiled at her children. They made noises of disappointment, before complying. Shutting the book, she got up from the ground and walked over to the bookshelf, sliding it onto the top shelf.

"It's nice that you're finally reading it to them, after years of writing it," Angela jumped and turned around to meet a pair of violet eyes. It was only Chase, her husband.

"Don't scare me like that next time!" she punched him playfully. "You almost gave me a heart attack."

"But it's fun seeing your reactions," he smirked.

She stuck her tongue at him and walked over to the dresser, getting out her pajamas. "One day I'll get my payback, you wait and see. But yeah, I'm glad I finally finished it. I started it what, like, three years ago? Time sure flies by." She reminisced, and then walked into the twins' bedroom when she saw them run in.

After Reese and Auden were both in bed, Angela went back to her bedroom and crawled onto the queen sized mattress and under the sheets. She reached over and flipped the switch to shut off the lamp, while Chase laid a hand on her waist. When they were in complete darkness, he buried his face in her hair and whispered, "Are you ever going to tell them who the story is based off of?"

"The day I die, maybe."

It's a shame that day would come very soon.


Hmmm, I'm sorry this is so short. I'll update soon. Like I said on my profile, I wanted to wait until I'd written out the whole thing before posting anything. But, I was getting absolutely nowhere with it, so I decided to post it anyways. It's Christmas break after this Friday, so I'll do some major typing during the week. I'm hoping this to be 15-20 chapters, max. This takes place in the future, so I've decided to cut people out. (There are like, 50-something people in Castanet, not including rival children or main characters. Oh, and I've also decided to include Kasey, Kevin, and Molly; they're going to play important roles in this. I hope you like it so far (a review would be nice). See you.
