Part 1
Spirits create a world. Without spirits a world dies. Especially without the
four world spirits, the spirits of Water, Wind, Earth and Fire. Everything is
created by spirits but these four create the very properties that a world
thrives on. This world is Djinova, a beautiful world spiralling through time.
Under the guidance and control of the spirits that inhabit it the most powerful
being the world spirits. However, it was not only the spirits which inhabited
this beautiful world.
Catriona walked down through the Gardens of Terra. The flowers nodded gently in
the breeze as she passed them. Everything was perfect in the gardens. As usual." Of course" thought Catriona, "the
Earth Spirit wouldn't let her gardens die." For the Gardens of Terra were the
Earth Spirits gardens. The flowers always bloomed, no matter what the weather.
The residents of the
Each Spirit had their own quarter of the World, the quarter which housed a
monument to them. The Earths monument was the Gardens of Terra. Long ago the
spirits chose their own quarter of Djinova to become the main guardian of.
These quarters, or Kingdoms, were named after the Spirit that ruled them.
Catriona often wondered what the other Kingdoms looked like, whether they were
as well kept as the
A glimmer flashed through the trees, jolting Catriona out of her thoughts. Probably a Spirit. But. The
"but" stuck in her mind, the glimmer had looked like a travelling
spirit, possibly one of the lesser spirits. But it was the sudden stillness
that struck Catriona as strange. A departing spirit never makes the Gardens
seem so lifeless. And the Earth Spirit never really left. Catriona shook her
head. "Lifeless?" How could the gardens look lifeless? She could see
life everywhere, but the feeling was lifeless. Angrily, Catriona shook her head
again. She shouldn't think like that! She ran back to town. It was all in her
imagination. She was just willing something to happen.
But was she? As she arrived back at the town everything seemed different from
when she left, almost like something was missing. She
trembled slightly. What was going on? Suddenly, she felt a slight tremor run
through the rock below her. She wondered for a moment if she had imagined it.
No one else seemed to have noticed. Feeling distinctly nervous, Catriona headed
home.
However, when she entered her house she knew something was wrong. She had been
gone for a whole day. Normally her mother would shout at her for vanishing
without a trace. But today she didn't. Disturbed, Catriona headed to bed.
Next day she rose, determined to find out what had happened. She headed
outside. Everything seemed normal though. Bewildered, Catriona stopped. Had she
imagined it after all? She headed dejectedly for the gardens. She always found
she could think better in the gardens. She wandered through the paths, lost in
thought, noticing nothing around her. Suddenly a sobbing noise reached her
ears, surprised anyone could be unhappy in the gardens she looked up. She
gasped. Everything was dead. The flowers. The trees. Everything.
