Legends from The Warlock's Chair - Prequel - Nightfire

This is a prequel to Legends from The Warlock's Chair - Ravengaard.

The Warlock's Chair.

A place of magic and adventure.

Long ago when the world was young the Faerie races ruled far and wide across the lands of the Earth.

Then with the coming of Man, they disappeared into myth and legend. But they had survived, hidden away in the secret places known only to a very few humans.

Eighteenth century England. The Harcourt family leave the clamour and filth of London for the peace and quiet of rural Shropshire. But for those who live at Ravengaard Manor life has never been peaceful or quiet. Soon the three Harcourt children find their lives changed forever by the magical lands that surround the hills of The Warlock's Chair.

This is their first adventure.

They meet the water dragon Mirrorglow who takes them to the mystical underwater world of Wyr'anthos.
They learn of the Qrill, evil crab-like warriors who have kidnapped her son Nightfire and are holding him prisoner.
And they set out to invade the Qrill citadel and rescue him before they can put their evil plans into operation.

It is a short story, the first one I wrote for my children. I have given it a bit of a tweak.

This is the first part... enjoy (hopefully)
