Snippet:
Fancy got closer, and her eyes became hard and dangerous. “We elves were powerful before your people even came into existence, wizard. We harnessed great magic.” Her voice was deeper and had strength.

Severus sat up and looked hard at her. “If that’s true,” he said, trying to not draw away from the crackle of her magic that suddenly filled the space between them and tingled at his skin, “Why have your race not offered help before? Even in the final battle, you used only house and garden tools to flight with.”

“We were enslaved by the ‘good’ wizards of this world. Our people are honorable. Many centuries ago, we had a foolish ruler who wagered with Merlin and lost. We became the servants of wizards. Our magic was bottled up. We only now feel our power returning. We did not know that with the fall of the ‘good’ wizards, our power would be released to us again.”

“Then you affiliate yourself with the Dark side?”

If you like dystopian stories, you reall should give this one a try - and don't forget to tell the author what you like about the tale.

Have fun reading and reviewing!
