Chapter One
Plum climbed up over the rotting log and sighed. "I really hate being only 6 inches. Everybody thinks you don't matter." She grumbled. She dried off her wings and fluttered them. Purple dust fluttered to the ground. She sighed. All of a sudden, a carriage flew by and splattered her with mud. She wiped it away from her eyes and glared. She muttered a spell to make the carriage tip over, but the carriage only went faster and sped up. She growled in fury. All of a sudden, a rabbit bounded out of the woods and ran right into her, knocking her off of the log. It sat on the log and looked around wildly. "He's following me. I can hear him. Oh carrots and lettuce, he's coming!"
Plum looked at him shock. She fluttered up to his eye level. "How are you able to talk?" The rabbit looked at her like she was a bug. "I am the King rabbit of my forest. Or at least I was until that stupid wizard captured me and made me his guinea pig. He's an evil, evil man. Doesn't care that I don't want to be yellow and have only one foot."
Plum pursed her lips and thought. "A wizard huh? There is no wizard around these parts." The rabbit nodded, "I know. He's traveling to the capital of the Kingdom because he's going to be the King's advisor. There is a shortage of evil wizards in this kingdom, and you can't have a nice advisor. That just isn't the way it works. So this wizard became evil. He's frighteningly good at it."
Plum was bored listening to the rabbit, so she danced and twirled in the air. When he finished, she looked at him. "So, is that guy the one that's after you?" she pointed to the guy in the black coat standing behind the rabbit. The rabbit froze, turned, and screamed. When he tried to run, the guy scooped him up and put him in a cage. Plum looked up at the guy and frowned. "You need to learn some manners. You cant just go around scooping up rabbits and putting them in cages."
The man looked at her and laughed. "Who are you and what do you want?" his voice was young. She tried to look into the shadows of his hood, but he backed away. "My name is Plum Sugar, fairy 5th class. And you are?" The man laughed at her. The laughed was too soft. Plum grew suspicious that this person was either very young or female. Of course that was absurd. Females weren't allowed to be wizards.
"I am Kiera-Kieran, Grand Advisor for King Rancid the third." Plum snorted. "You cant fool me. I know you're female. You do know that being a female wizard is against the law, but if you take me to the capital and teach me spells, I'll keep your secret and help you hide your sex." The wizard was shocked, but nodded. They started off with the rabbit singing loudly and off key "On the road again! Oh yes, I'm on the road again."
