The Hero of Emerald Dive

I've never liked a lot of attention, everyone looking at me, knowing my name, anything. I was always very private, but now I have to get used to the audience. Noah Elis, the hero of "Emerald Dive". I wouldn't be able to do this by myself.

It all started with the incident three years ago, when we all thought my sister had destroyed our family, though technically she did. I was 25 at the time. Three years later, I'm still 25. I grew up in a family of witches. My name is Noah, my parents are Evan and Amelia, and I have five younger siblings: Liam, Nia, Magenta, Mia, and Wyatt. We are the Elis family, or, as some people like to call us, the Elis Coven. Our powers come from our connection with nature.

My parents trained all of us growing up. They teach us basic spells and how to protect ourselves and others. It gets more intense as you get older, especially after your 25th birthday. When you turn 25, you are trained to be a leader. You see, yes, Elis is one coven, but there are many branches. My father was the leader of our branch. When you build your own family, you build your branch. You have to be at least 28 to start a family because you gain more power when you become a leader. It was almost my time to be a leader. Another reason you are taught it at the age of 25 is that in case anything were to happen to the leader, you would be able to take over, which was the situation in my case.

Three years before the incident, my sister, Magenta, met someone at school. He represents darkness, the elements, and death. He was a vampire. Even though vampires were made by magic thousands of years ago, it went against the laws of magic. You had to die in order to become one. Immortality isn't natural. His name was Oliver Evans. Magenta instantly fell in love with him, but when my parents found out, they forbade her from seeing him. She stopped for sometime, I'm not sure when they reconnected. When they did, it brought hellfire to earth. The year of the incident, he changed her to be just like him. Against nature. Against everything our entire family believed in. Soon after, they took off running; we didn't know where. My little sister was missing.

The thing about Magenta was that she was never like the rest of the family. She was always different. She wasn't born with magic. She would have to siphon it from others, but that only lasted temporarily. When she became a vampire, it made it possible for her to always have magic; she was stronger and much more powerful. The only thing now is that as long as she's with Oliver, she's dangerous. We thought if we could get her away from him, we could teach her to control her powers, but we were horribly wrong.

Oliver was a threat to everyone. As a vampire, that meant he needed blood to survive. He would kill innocent people with no hesitation or guilt. It was only a matter of time until he made Magenta into more of a monster.

It's up to my family to keep our town and family safe. Oliver was working with the Devil, plotting to take over Emerald Dive and any town within a 40-mile radius. They were going to cause Hell on Earth and needed to sacrifice the Elis Coven to do so. Oliver was just using Magenta to get close to our family.

My parents felt it was time, and I was ready for my first mission. Save Magenta and our home town. In order to do so, I had to track Oliver, stake him in the heart, and bring my sister home. So that's exactly what I did. I found a hairbrush in Magenta's room, and with that, I could do a locator spell to find her, assuming she was still with Oliver. Now that she's a vampire, it required a lot more magic and wasn't easy. It took me a month and a half to find her in a log cabin in "Terr City". Now, I just had to go get her.

When I arrived at the cabin, Oliver was home. Now is my chance. I used telekinesis to push him into the cabin. I held him against the wall, looked into his eyes, and staked him. Immediately, he disintegrated and died. What I didn't know was that Magenta saw everything. She still didn't know about Oliver's plan. She just knew that her older brother had killed the love of her life.

She sped to his body, trying to wake him. She screamed for him to wake up, but he wouldn't. She cried "why". I tried to tell her. I tried to explain it to her, but she didn't believe me. She had so much hurt in her eyes. Before you know it, I blinked my eyes, and she was nowhere to be seen. She left again.

It's been three days since Oliver's death. Still no sign of Magenta. At least until that night. She returned home. She looked like she was crying and was visibly angry. We knew we weren't safe. My dad tried to calm her down, but she's stronger than him now. She used her force of magic to push him across the room and into the wall. That was the beginning of the end.

There was a candle on the table beside him. I screamed no and tried to stop her, but it was too late. She already used magic to knock it over. The curtains, carpet, and anything flammable caught fire. She let my dad go, but then spread the fire. Our house went up in flames. We were presumed dead, but we weren't. My dad had a plan in case anything like this was to ever happen to anyone in the family.

We have this ancestor's magic wand in our family. It's from the original Elis family, back when they needed wands. It was this wand that gave our family the ability to create magic without the use of a wand. It's been passed down through generations to my dad. He cast a spell on this wand years ago. In any case, if anyone in our branch were to die an unnatural death, our souls would be transferred into this wand. There is a way out, but only my parents and I know the spell, and we're all in the wand. All except Magenta. Though somehow, Oliver is in here. Oliver found out about the wand and worked with the Devil to have the same thing happen to him if he were to die.

We thought we were stuck for good. Magenta doesn't know the spell. If the Devil knows, he'll most likely only take out Oliver and kill us for good. As it turned out, three years later, Magenta came across the Devil and is fighting him to protect everyone against us and protect the wand.

The wand opens in Terr City. I was the only one let out. Magenta and a group of people are fighting off the Devil. She ends up defeating him. What my family was trying to do to save the world, she did. I watched her save the world.

She found out about Oliver and what he was planning to do. She tried to bring us all out with the wand and save us, but she didn't know how to do it. The Devil brought me out to kill me. She saved me. She gives me back the wand so I can save our family, but I can't do it by myself. Dad taught me the spell, but I never practiced it. I need help.

Magenta is stronger and more powerful now that she is a vampire. Maybe she can help me. We study the spell day and night until we memorize it. We try it multiple times, over and over again. It's not easy, but we don't give up. After three months, we finally opened it. It takes a lot of power to keep it open, but we do. All six of our remaining family members escape the wand.

My dad was the first to come out. He was surprised; he thought I did it all by myself. Then he saw Magenta struggling to keep it open. He stood next to her, put his hand on her shoulder, and used his force to help. The rest of our family came out. Before, it was easy to close it, but now, it's difficult. We all tried to close it, but it wasn't working. Magenta had an idea as to why, and she was correct. Oliver was fighting to get out, and he did.

(IDK if I'll make a part 2)
