The Unseen Element

This is The Unseen Element written by Light304.

Prologue
Hermione woke, Hermione Spellcaster was a young elf girl. Slowly she got up from her bed of soft fern fronds, hiding her blanket in the nearby hollow of a tree. She liked sleeping out in the open under the night sky with only a canopy of trees overhead- there are lots of trees in the Leaf Lands. Hermione looked around to check nobody was near, unconsciously putting a lock of brightly coloured hair behind her ear. After checking the coast was clear she went to see her Aunt Skyra at Sky Castle.When she got there Skyra told her that trouble was being brewed by an evil elf witch named Ragana, and only Hermione could stop her with the help of some other elves.

Meanwhile in Shadow castle Ragana was working on a new potion which she had found the recipe for while she was tidying her castle.The potion would make it such that only an elf of the rarest element could defeat her. There hadn’t been a known elf of that element who also knew how to use their powers for over 100 years! Unless you counted the one that has almost completely vanished even from the pages of history and certainly from the inhabitants.

Chapter 1- Mysteries
It was a beautiful day in Elvendale and Willow Flowershade was just coming back from her early morning walk past the whispering willow trees and down to the meadow. Just as she took her first step into Driftwood Forest Willow saw a dark shadow like shape flash through the trees to the right of her. When she got home she asked her mother Rosemary about it.

“Yes, darling there are dangerous creatures in Elvendale that can take the form of a shadow. My father Farren Leafshade told me. They are kept at bay by the - I mean  nothing to worry about.” Rosemary answered.

“But mum, I saw one!” Willow protested.

The next day Willow woke bright and early so she could meet her elven friends Coralie Bubblebrook and Merick Sealife were water elves, Skila Breezeblower the wind elf and Sparkle Flickerflame a fire elf at their hideout just West of the Leaf Lands. When they were all there Willow explained that she though Rosemary might know more than she let on, when it can to the history of Elvendale at least.

“Can you repeat what she said ?” asked Skila.

“She said,Yes, there are dangerous creatures in Elvendale that can take the form of a shadow. They are kept at bay by the - I mean nothing to worry about.”Willow paused to take a breath, “she also said that grandad told her so.”

“Shore sounds like she is hiding something.” joked Merick. It was getting late and Willow had to go. As she walked back down the path Willow noticed some fern fronds laid out in a suspiciously bedlike arrangement.

Over dinner that night she asked Rosemary another question “who kept the shadow creatures away?” Willow asked.

“The first ones over 1000 years ago where the elemental guardians Noctura, Lumia, Cory, Rowan, Liska- well why do you ask?” Rosemary answered.

“Who keeps them away now?” Willow tried again.

“The six, no five sisters.”
