Burning Flames

*NOTE: I may upload a new chapter in five minutes, or it may take a week, or even a month. I update chapters at my own pace.

Prologue

In the time of Malistaire, four wizards had united, and defeated him, saving the Spiral. An era of peace began, and joy filled the worlds. Even after the horrendous damage they had suffered from his attacks, everyone pulled through. Everyone thought that good had prevailed, and darkness would always fall. It was not until a shadow began to creep up the citizens, sending many of them into fright. Morganthe, Umbra Queen, had begun to plot a strategy to change the world, in her image. She began her search for knowledge, beginning with Celestia. She was immortal, as some saw her. In Celestia, the natives summoned the all-powerful Storm Titans to assist against the Umbra Queen's army. Luckily, the army was defeated, but Celestia took a turn for the worst. The Storm Titans betrayed the Celestians, and the natives used their last bit of magic to sink their world, under the protection of the waves. Yet the queen found them, and they were defeated.

Back in modern time, Tara Flameslayer was born of the saviors. She grew up isolated in her parents' castle. She grew to be extremely quick-tempered, overconfident, and obnoxious. It wasn't until Headmaster Ambrose's vision, had her destiny been revealed. Ambrose had begun to speak of her to the council, consisting of all teachers. The majority of them had denied further belief in her until they all saw the dream. Bartelby himself had begun envisioning the girl to become the Spiral's last hope. At the age of seven, she was enrolled in Ravenwood, practicing the art of pyromancy. She quickly proved herself to be a skilled worker, advancing through her classes like no other. In one year, she became a master pyromancer, impressing her peers. Along with her only friends, Luke Willowseeker, and Andrew Rocksmasher, they were selected to train in preparation for the journey. They remained in isolation from the world even sending out false leads about their disappearances. They stayed neutral for many years, until the Umbra Queen herself threatened them. It was said that she would release the curse at Tara's fifteenth birthday, much to Tara's dismay she had recently turned fourteen. Leaving so, the three began their quest at saving the Spiral. Can she live up to her parents' legacy and prove herself "the" one to save them from the clutches of Morganthe? Will darkness finally prevail, or will good stand triumphant?

*Hope you like it! The story will take place in Tara's POV. Sorry for it being short, chapters will be WAY longer.
