unicorns, the magic of the dark mage was too strong. Ravenswood’s magic rose from the earth, uprooting willow trees and tossing them into the churning waters of the lake. Rocks and branches hurtled through the air and smashed against the Rocking Stone.
    “Emily, you’re hurting Storm!” Adriane yelled, reeling from the cries of the forest spirit of Ravenswood.
    But Emily ignored her as she began to weave the preserve’s magic onto the web.
    “You’re destroying Ravenswood!” Kara screamed.
    “Not destroying. Fixing.” Emily’s voice was scarily calm. “I need to fix everything.”
    The dark mage’s eyes swirled to black. Spikes of magic erupted from the dark heart jewel upon her wrist, plunging deep into the earth. An eerie silence lasted a heartbeat before the entire preserve rippled, sending everyone running for cover. Tree limbs groaned as branches twisted into sharp thorns. Dank muck churned in the crystal waters of the lake.
    “What are we going to do?” Kara cried.
    Silver fire flared from Adriane’s clenched fists. “We have to stop her.”
    “We can’t attack Emily!” Kara protested.
    “We have no choice!”
    The two mages paused… they glanced at their bondeds and at the animals of Ravenswood. None of them could believe what they were about to do. To save Ravenswood, they were going to have to fight—and maybe destroy—their best friend.

E MILY’S WHIRLWIND OF destruction spread into the forest, tearing over a patch of bright flowers. For an instant, the funnel faltered.
    “Packleader!” Rasha and Ronif dashed to the warrior, wind whipping their tail feathers. On their outstretched wings sat several round puffball flowers, each glittering with tiny rainbow lights.
    Adriane’s eyes went wide. “Kara!” she called out, picking the precious magic blooms. “Phelowers!”
    The sparkling flowers floated out of Rasha and Ronif’s wings. They seemed to be drawn toward Emily. For an instant, flashes of pure rainbow colors danced around her. The dark mage faltered, her powers dulled by the infusion of pure magic.
    “Everyone, we need more!” Kara cried, recognizing the power of these magical flowers. Phel, the fairy creature who had first taught Emily about healing magic, had planted them.
    Adriane turned to her pack. “Hurry! Gather as many as you can find.”
    Starpoints of color like tiny jewels surrounded the dark mage, whirling and twirling as the animals of Ravenswood tossed paw-fulls of phelowers into the air. Glittering blossoms sparkled as they were swept into the cyclone. Flecks of light flashed, growing brighter as Emily unwittingly gathered pure magic into her dark weaving.
    All at once, a bright spark glimmered in the former healer’s inky eyes. The cyclone around her was transforming into a column of light, bright as a rainbow. It trembled and slowed, colors pulling together. Forming in front of Emily was something big. Something purple.
    The last shreds of dark magic fell away. What remained was a large, purple, bear-like creature. He turned liquid eyes upon the healer.
    “Phel,” Emily whispered, lowering her arms.
    A fog cleared from her eyes as she saw Phelonius’s magical aura glimmering in pinpoints of rainbow lights. What had seemed like an overwhelming jumble of colors now looked exactly like... a phelower.
    Silence fell over the glade.
    Emily blinked. How had she gotten here? Why were her friends staring at her so strangely?
    Phel approached Emily, reaching out massive paws to touch the healer’s hands. Splinters of light flew across her mind. Memories glowed.

    The mermaids swarmed around Emily. Wet, ragged hair and black eyes rose to meet her as cold hands tried to drag her into the ancient sea of Aldenmor before she could fulfill her destiny. “You are the dark witch.” Emily had told no one this terrible secret, convincing herself that if she ignored the warning it could not come true.

    The Dark Sorceress’s commanding presence loomed over her, guiding
