My name is Chase. I’m not a normal kid. I can do magic. If you really want to know, it all started on the first day of camp. This is the story of how I found out I had powers and how I used them against Shadow. But I’m not gonna tell you the whole story in the first paragraph. Read the book!*
I had just arrived at camp. I saw an entrance sign that said “WELCOME TO CAMP BLUE RIVER” I headed over that way. When I first got in, I saw a bunch of cabins. I also saw an archery circle. All through the camp there was a river that ran through the camp. A tall, blond guy with a nametag that said JAMIE was standing at the entrance. He called the new kids to come to him. The first thing he said changed my life:
” First of all, this is not just any plain old camp. You have been accepted to this camp because you are special.” Now this really caught my attention. Was I special?
Jamie explained that we had magic powers and we were going to learn to use them. He also said that there were five special powers and they hadn’t been seen in five hundred years. According to a prophecy, the powers would be seen this year at camp. The powers were the five elements. Jamie said if someone had the fifth element, quintessence than the history of magic would change…. forever. Us new kids were paired into groups of five. “You and your group are going to try different activities and find your power.” Said Jamie. I got paired with four kids named Ash, Ivy, Pearl, and Skye. I didn’t know it then, but they would change my life forever.
