[ON HOLD - Check Back Later] In a world of magic and elements, half of the people who reside in the kingdom of Revalia can use magic and control the elements according to their ancestors and their origins. And while these people lead lavish lives, the other half were looked down upon and used as slaves to do their bidding. They were treated like animals, sold and bought like objects, separated from their families and often died in manual labor. Every non user wants change, but none can bring it, for every time they try to break their chains, the Elementals stop them with their magic and make them examples as what not to do. But that all changes, when Drako Sarcoya finds an opportunity to escape his master. WARNING: This story includes topics that some readers might not be comfortable with.

September 1939. Before the Second World War starts, fourteen-year-old Sybil Vaughn is sent away on one of the first transports out of the city. Despite the apparent importance of it all, Sybil believes she'll be back home in a week and doesn't even say goodbye to her Mum. On arrival in the country, Sybil is billeted with the Goodwin's, a couple in search of some help on their family farm. With Sybil not really fitting the bill, she works to prove herself to both of them. Along the way, she happens to find out a lot more about herself, too. (C)Spruce_Goose
