The Woods Of Night: Book One Of The Kasai Series 6 Chapter 6

The wind whistled past Alina's ears."C'mon work, WORK!!!" Alina screamed as she fell. Finally she started slowing down as her slow spell started working. She looked up and saw smoke billowing out of her bedroom window. She sighed and felt her feet touch the damp ground. She let jer arms slack and dropped the sack on the ground. Her body was somehow tired from the fall. She plopped down onto the ground and stared into the woods. She heard the rustling of leaves and saw a figure of shadow leap through the trees. "Hey, you there! Stop!" Alina cried. The figure paused only for a minute. Alina took this moment to focus and stare at the figure. She took all her concentration and put it on the figure. She whispered, "Congelare e rimanere!" The figure started to move again, and then froze. It fell from the trees and onto the ground. Alina stood up and strode to the figure. It was a boy about her age. She grabbed his arm and with all her strength pulled him to where she landed. The boy had dark brown hair and bright yellow eyes. Alina stared at him and loosened her spell so he could talk. "Who are you?" Alina asked.

"Who are you?" the boy replied back.

"I am Alina, Princess of Diremoor Castle. The one right behind us."

" Well Princess Alina, I am Lyle, the Prince of Keydon."

"So Lyle, how did you end up here?" Alina asked.

"My castle was caught on fire one night. The blaze spread too fast to be put out. I was the only one to escape." Lyle replied with a sad tone in his voice.

"The same has happened to me. A fire started at night and my brother waant able to put it out and died in the fire. I took as much supplies as I could an djumped out my window." Alina said with the same sad tone.

Lyle stared into the sky as the sun rised higher. Alina took off the spell and let Lyle rest. She knew that he hadn't set the castle on fire. She could trust him. She laid down on the ground next to him and stared up.

As the sun kept moving, Alina decided to set up camp out side the castle. She stood up and pulled her sack over. She opened it up and realized she had nothing to make a tent with. She remembered she could summon anything. She focused on what she wanted and two tents appeared before her.

She set up the tents and told Lyle to lie down in one of the tents. Lyle dissapeared in the tent on the left. Alina still sat outside until dark and decided to finally go to sleep.

In her tent she laid awake with the sorrow of knowing her brother was dead. She stayed still till her eyelids felt heavy and she fell into sleep.
