Excerpt Time!

Okay, here's the beginning of my first chapter in "The First Wizard"!


11 years ago today
150 A.D.



Fetch Trick!” a girl with long, wavy, brown hair, blue eyes, and around the age four yells. This little four year old appears to be someone special who goes by the name, Gabrielle Estrelle. She didn't believe it when she blinked and right in front of her was a floating stick. She could of sworn she threw it!
Woah! What makes it do that?” Gabrielle asks amazed at what she just saw. At just that moment Gabrielle's thin, blonde hair as thin and straight as grass, narrow eyed mum came to check on Gabrielle and see what she was doing.
Child what are you doing!” Adel exclaimed. Adel not being big on sorcerers and sorceresses, would never teach her child such a thing.
I don't know I threw the stick for Trick and it just- floated!” Gabrielle said shocked at how her mum was handling this when she was usually so calm.
Well lets see what your father has to say about that. Duron!” Adel screamed on the top of her lungs, not caring if one of the neighbors next door screamed at them later. This was a life or death situation to her.
Yes, honey?” Adel's husband and Gabrielle's father,Duron, said. Duron was a tall, brown haired, and curious brown eyed man, and was the last person you would think Adel would marry. He was always nice, as Adel had a few cruel touches. Plus, the biggest one of all he didn't know what he would do with himself if he never knew what magic was. Adel knew Duron once practiced sorcery, but she saw past it, because he was handsome and rich just the things she liked in a man. She just told herself everyday that at least he didn't do it anymore. Duron stopped doing magic when he started going with her, and never begun ever since.
Duron, our daughter is practicing the works of a sorceress. What do you have to say about that?” Adel asked expecting a shock of surprise and a big scolding to Gabrielle. Although she should have known better, for Duron would never scold Gabrielle for using magic, he'd just stay out of it.
I have nothing to say on the matter.” Duron said, secretly feeling extremely proud, but trying his best not to show it.
