Author's Note: In chapter one, it makes more sense to start with Dario's point of view, even though this is in the Ella Enchanted section.
Return or Stay
B y : J u s t W r i t e r
Summary: Ella&Char have a beautiful baby girl. All the while, Daystar&Shiara (from EFC) have a handsome prince. There are new, evil wizards that are plotting to control the EFmagic. The wizards send the only heir to another world, where he meets the crown princess of Kyrria. Will he return or stay?
Prologues:
Ella pushed. Char stood there holding his wife's hand. Their first child was to be born any minute now. "Come on Ella. You can do it. She smiled and kept going with her husband's urgings.
"She's almost out lady," Mandy said. She knew it would be a girl named Eleanor, just like her mother, and her grandmother, and her mother's mother, and so on.
Lucinda would arrive as soon as the baby was out; and she did. She brought out a beautiful ring that would help the young Eleanor some day. It was from an unknown source of magic. Mandy gave her eternal, small magical protection. Everyone was all smiling.
Daystar stood and waited impatiently as he heard Shiara painfully screaming. He had been told to wait outside. She didn't want him to see her like that; suffering. Then he heard a cooing sound, and a maid rushed out.
Sir, it's a boy. The baby began to cry, still not clean. Daystar pulled on an invisible thread of magic and the newborn was suddenly clean. Shiara was smiling the biggest smile he'd ever seen on Shiara's face. Just when he thought it couldn't get any wider, the baby's three hairs caught on fire. That just made her smile from ear to ear. It was their son, Dario.
Chapter 1: Transported
Dario was eighteen years old now, with silly princesses following him whenever they had the chance. However, he learned long ago that he shouldn't give them one. Whenever some girls follow him around, he leaves instantaneously with a twist of a magic thread. Outside the Enchanted Forest, it was very hard to use his father's type of magic. That kind of magic came to him almost naturally. But his mother had taught him how to use fire magic. That kind of magic could be used anywhere and he was very skilled at it.
He had no siblings because his mother had refused to have anymore children. She had said pregnancy made her to nice.
Right now, he had just escaped a mob of girls and was sitting at his favorite spot in the entire Enchanted Forest. It was what his father called the, "Green Glass Pool." He didn't swim in it. He just liked the peacefulness he received from staring at it.
Right then Dario felt a disturbance in the web of magic that was the Enchanted Forest. He quickly transported himself to the western part of the forest, just along the border. Outside of the forest he saw a contraption sucking in the forest's magic. He had to stop it. As he stepped toward it, it made a circle that surrounded him.
"Oh great," he thought as he saw two men with long beards, robes, and staffs surround the circular piece of spell. They were definitely wizards. They began mumbling swiftly. Dario tried to stop them by using his father's type of magic, but it didn't work. In frustration, his hair caught on fire, like all fire witches' hair does. It was ironically almost like a light bulb had appeared above his head. "That's it! I'll use fire magic," he thought. Then, as he was about to create a fire spell, there was a big flash of light. He fell back onto something that felt like grass. "Grass," he thought. "There isn't any grass in the Enchanted Forest!" Then he slipped into unconsciousness.
Author's Note: Do you like it so far? I've been wanting to blend EE (Ella Enchanted) & the EFC (Enchanted Forest Chronicles) for the longest time! For some reason, what I just typed made me think about that one song that goes, "Wo---oh---oh-ohh, for the longest time, wo---oh--ohh, for the longest time…," you know, that song. I know, you're probably thinking, "What planet does this person live on?" Ella's daughter Elli's POV will be in the next chapter. Anyway, please R(ead) & R(eview).
