Hi! Katy here! Thank you Granny for your March of Dimes donation and putting us over the top to reach our goal! Alyssa and I thought it would be fun to share a little bit of the book we have been working on! Alyssa and I along with our best friends, Elsa and Lily, have been working on this project since before Christmas and finished on May 1st. It has been SO FUN to write this book and we hope to get it published. The book series is called
Mythical Magic. There are going to be 5 books and a whole lot of bonus novels. This first one is called
Tidal Wave and has 26 chapters plus bonus material (about 25,000 words). Each of the first 4 books will feature one of the main characters and the 5th will include all of their points of view.
Hi! Alyssa here! Let me tell you a little bit more about how this whole thing began. It started on the bus where Katy was telling Elsa about her book idea. Elsa thought it would be cool for the three of us to write a book together. Before class began (first period) we started to think of ideas for the book. Lily came in the classroom door and asked us what we were doing. After we told her that we were going to write a book, she asked if she could join us and we said yes! In second period we started brainstorming ideas of what the story should be about. Elsa thought it should be about 4 girls saving the world from a bloodsucking demon. Lily thought it should have something to do with the 4 elements of nature (Water, Air, Earth, and Fire). Katy and I thought the story should include animals and mythical creatures. So we came up with an idea that combined all of them...4 girls that are guardians of the elements and each had a magical animal. I won't spoil anymore of the book. Here is the first out of 26 chapters in
Tidal Wave. Enjoy!
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Once there was a woman named Dawn. She is as old as the universe itself, and was created to keep the world in balance, with Blackwell, the guardian who was created to rule all evil. There would have to be some balance between light and dark, good and evil, so Dawn came to balance the world.
Soon after, when earth was created, Tide, born in the deepest underwater cave on earth, rose to power, for the world was just water. A little while later, when the air on earth divided itself, and it became breathable for plants and animals, Airna, (whose name was pronounced Erna), was breathed into being.
When land started to form, Blossom, was created. She was born when the first flower on earth blossomed. She was the living spirit of all earth, but soon Airna, who grew jealous of the beautiful new being, became upset, and started hating Blossom with all of her heart.
Tide, fully aware of what was happening between Blossom and Airna, decided not to get involved, until Ash came along, when the first humans created fire. Ash did not like Tide one bit, since her water spells put out the fires she created, and they developed a hatred greater than Blossom and Airna.
After a while, Ash and Blossom became friends, since Ash’s volcanoes created lots of new land for Blossom. In this time, Tide and Airna became friends. The two sets of guardians, avoided each other as much as possible, though Tide and Blossom got along okay because Blossom's plants and animals needed her water. Ash and Airna also got along okay because without air Ash could not create fire
That is, until Dawn and Blackwell called together all four of them, to form a council, of the main elemental guardians, and the guardians of light and dark.
They all signed a contract that said they would work together in the council. At first, the girls were hesitant to sign it, but eventually signed, after convincing themselves that you don’t have to like someone, to work with them, in the sake of keeping the world safe from harm.
And so it was, the magic council, whose power came from the sun, the moon, and the four magic creatures. (All the girls had a magic creature that they had to protect.)
Tide had a sea serpent named Current, Ash had a dragon named Flame, Airna had Griffin named Griff, and Blossom had a unicorn named Flower.
Everything went well. For almost 9 thousand years, Until, everything changed…
Hope you enjoyed this little sneak peek of our book!
