        The green flames only grew and grew, flickering less as it became massive. The green light grew until it was as tall as the ceiling. The fire carved itself into a woman, still a fire. Her body became covered in thick, armor of all sorts of colors. Her hair draped down her back, then covered with a mask. Her eyes glowed a sea blue of cruelty and sorrow not once, but at the same time. The cowardly cruelty overtake the sorrow in her evil eyes.

Feathers blossom out of her arms and the mask turns feathery like an owl

Feathers blossom out of her arms and the mask turns feathery like an owl. She was the only thing we could see out of the darkness. She places her hands together on the ground, creating a magical looking plant as tall as her. The plant broadens and turns into a small tree, forming to a staff. The mysterious figure wraps her arms around my sister as she turns her head to me. Her eyes narrow to me.

Only me.

She stares at me for a moment as we are paralyzed in fear. "Who are you?" I bravely demand of her, with fear in my own eyes while I say it. I could sense her anger, "You do not have the power to challenge me, Princess." Her voice seemed dark and magical. As if there were two people in her voice. 

    "You must prove yourself worthy of your power within, to unleash it." Her voice echoes and glitches. "I've come to collect your dear sister." She continued with a still cruel voice, "If you care for your kingdom, you'll believe me." Her voice deepens, "You will  believe me." She disappears with Melony. I look around the room for them, quivering with fear.

     I hear strange whispering behind my back. I turn my body to that direction. Behind me, a familiar green light shines above me, casting my shadow. Rose and Dell hold eachother without moving a single inch. I turn around again, ready to strike. "You wouldn't really put up a fight, would you?" She warned me, irritated, "I can read your mind. Don't get any irrelevant, inconvenient ideas." She slowly walks around the room. "What did you do to the kingdom?!" I cried at her, angry. "I'll tell you this," She let go of Melony and began to diddle with her dirty blond locks as Mel just stood there, expressionless, "If you don't save your kingdom from its utter curse, they will parish and you will never  learn of your past." I've always wanted to discover where the flashbacks are coming from. "You have one week, May. My huntsmen will be watching you." Were her last words before disappearing with May. By the time she left, I knew who she was. I've dreamt of her before.
