"Okay, well, we are in the World of Magic. All the elements have a kingdom here in which the creatures belong. Light and Dark haven't been getting along recently, but they aren't at war. If they do go to war, light and dark both have allies. Although, with the new queen, we don't know what's going to happen," Nyx told me. I pondered this.

"What happened to the old rulers?" I asked. Nyx sighed.

"It's a long tale," Nyx said. She blew out the fire and only smoke remained. "A long time ago," started Nyx in a different voice, "the dark king and Queen ruled in the Great Dark Castle. They were the best king and queen the kingdom had ever known. But, living in the castle were the spirits of the other kings and queens. They are invisible to us. The spirits grew jealous of the king and queen. One day, an evil spirit of an ancient queen entered the actual queen. The king immediately noticed something wrong about his wife. He took her to a sorceress. She immediately took the spirit out of the queen. She didn't do just that, but she sent all the spirits living in the castle. One spirit remained though. He made a deal with an evil witch. If he killed the king and queen, he would be the ruler of one of the elements. He killed them, and he is the ruler of an element now. Nobody knows which one though."

My eyes were wide in shock. "Good night," Nyx told me.

"Good night," I replied. We laid down. I stared up at the stars, and eventually fell asleep.

"Wake up," whispered a voice. I opened my eyes. Nyx was looking at me. "Come on, sleepy head," Nyx whispered. We got up. The fire was out, and Nyx was ready. She grabbed my hand (Ouch!) and led me the way we were heading yesterday. Things were different now. Everything seemed a little brighter. It was definitely nice. Then, we came up to the end of the forest. As soon as we were out, I gasped. The view was amazing. A little village stood just below the hill we were standing on, and beyond that was a castle. It was black and giant birds flew to it and came back out with things on their backs.

"That's the castle," Nyx said, pointing. I nodded. I looked at the village. The different creatures were all dressed in black or brown. I looked at Nyx. She was wearing a light purple shirt and dark purple pants. I, well, was wearing a white shirt and black pants. I looked awful in this world. Nyx led me down a path. "To get in the castle, I need two watermelons and a big spring," Nyx told me.

We went towards the village. As soon as we got in there, Nyx pulled me through the crowded streets to a market. The owner saw us and smiled. "Nyx!" he exclaimed. He was a werewolf-looking man that was huge.

"Mr. Where, can I have two watermelons and a spring?" she asked. He smiled. He pulled them out of a cabinet and handed them to her. The spring was huge! "Here's thirteen cents," Nyx said. She handed it to him.

"Where are you breaking in today?" he asked.

"The castle," Nyx told him. His eyes widened.
