This story is a sequel to my last story, Avalon...I suggest you read that one before this... :) On to the story!! A woman in the wild magic sat on her black throne and let out an evil laugh.... With a flick of her wrist,a man appeared... "My name is Endymion."said Endymion to Serenity and her friends. "That is Jadeite,Nephlite,Zoiscite and Kunzite." "Yes,..you're the Prince of Avalon...we know.."replied Serenity nodding her head. Raye frowned at Serenity..."Sere...we have to leave.If we don't,SHE'll cause more chaos then what's already here.." Serenity sighed...*Raye's right..."thought Serenity to herself.Alex had already left,taking Michelle back to the ocean... Just as the group turned to leave..."Stop...."said a tiny voice like twinkling bells called out. "Aidee!!"exclaimed Lita. Aidee one of the fairies of the forest was flittering before them... "Avalon calls....all of you.."she told them. Amy frowned..."But we can't go to the heart of Avalon.."she replied. "The Grandfather tree,has agreed to bring you there..."exclaimed Aidee in her soft tinkling voice.With that,she vanished.. "Aidee!!wait!!" Mina gave a groan...why are fairy wraith's always like that??"she asked. Endymion and his guard stared at the women...All of them were summoned to the heart of Avalon????? Serenity shook her head."Well...lets try and find the Grandfather Tree..." she told Endymion. Endymion grinned and nodded..he couldn't help it...something about the young woman intrigued him... Serenity smiled. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Tree's of Aeden, and all you have achieved, Help us find the great Grandfather Tree!!" said Lita. "Let the magic of Avalon, be our guide!!" said Endymion. "Let the power of love , show that our hearts are true!!"said Mina. "Let the element of light, help us in our blight!!"cried Serenity.. Suddenly,two different colours burst out,a light ice blue illuminating the way,an a bright yellow marking the spot where the old tree grew... Quickly,Endymion and his guard jumped on their unicorns,whilst Serenity merely smiled and raised her hands... "Meet you there.."she whispered before disappearing with her friends.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When Endymion and his guard got there.... "What in Avalon..." "Hello,Chosen....Elementals..."said the ancient tree.This brought a surprise to Serenity and her friends..."Chosen?"she repeated. Endymion just grinned... The ancient tree opened a magic portal...and beckonned them to enter.. Stepping through...they rode in wild magic for moment before falling out of a portal onto solid ground.... Standing up...they surveyed the place that was called the heart of Avalon. They could only see a misty lake....strangely,the lake sparkled of different colours. Raye and Amy bent over the side of the lake.... Amy slowly touched the surface of the lake...it sparkled and tingled... Raye scooped some of the water which sparkled and disappeared..... "Sere...this lake...it's like...pure magic.."said Raye. Zoiscite frowned and walked to the side where Raye and Amy stood... touching the water himself he shuddered...it was a tingle yet comfortable. "This is the heart of Avalon...liquid magic.."he murmured. Serenity was standing high on a cliff nearby. "What are you doing???"asked Endymion walking next to her... "Shhh..."said Serenity...waving her wrists,the fog cleared and she could see an island... "What the..how did you do that??"asked Endymion incredously..nobody should be able to control the magic of Avalon besides him and Avalon himself more so now that they were in the heart of the kingdom. Serenity just smiled..."I didn't say all my magic was elemental...." Endymion could only gape as the woman before him let out a giggle. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lita frowned....."Is everything alright??"asked a smooth voice. Startled,Lita whirled around..."Oh,it's just you!!"she exclaimed to Nephlite with relief. "Oh nothing....just nervous....it's a bit too calm...too still.."said Lita shivering. "We have to cross the lake!!"came Serenity's voice. "But how??I can't walk on this lake!!"said Amy. Zoiscite chuckled at Amy..."Poor nymph...."he guffawed.Amy stared at him angrily.With a flick of her finger,a cold chill seemed to wrap itself around him.... Zoiscite gave a loud startled cry... Raye rolled her eyes...."There's a canoe there!!"she told Mina. Quickly,the ten friends climb into the big canoe.Somehow,the canoe started to move without any force... They stared at their destination that lay ahead..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They soon reached the island...there were no buildings of any sort... so where were they suppose to go... Slowly, a young girl stepped out of the forest that covered the island. "Hello..."she smiled. "Who are you?"asked Mina curiously. "I am Destiny....I've been sent to lead you to Father...."said Destiny. Endymion.Kunzite and Jadeite stared at the young girl... "Wait,did you mean Destiny,destiny...or Destiny,name??"asked Jadeite. Destiny turned to face them..a smile playing on her lips..."Both...it's my name and my job.."she said smiling. "Wait,so YOU'RE Destiny?????"asked Endymion incredously. Another girl let out a giggle..."I can tell that Father was right when he said skeptical..."said the identical girl.. Kunzite narrowed his eyes..."Two of you???"he asked. Destiny let out some expletives..."Skeptical??Father should have said doubtful more like it..."she muttered. The identical girl stepped forward..."I'm Fate...or if you want,Lady Fate like you usually say..."said Fate with a giggle. Mina smiled at the two girls.She liked them already... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Soon..... "Father...we have brought them to you..."said Destiny and Fate. "Good...leave now...go play with your jobs or something..I need to speak with them alone."said Avalon. Destiny and Fate nodded....their Father was under pressure... "Y-You are Avalon?"asked Serenity. Avalon nodded. "I have called you here today because the existance and survival of Avalon depends on it....Ah...Chosen...now is the time where you MUST use the magic that I have bestowed upon you.."said Avalon. "I need you to find five magical items,essential to the survival of Avalon so the ten of you will have to split into five groups of two... "he told them. He smiled in his minds eye at Serenity and Endymion...both so serious all of a sudden... .he was going to play destiny in place of Destiny and Fate. "What are the five magical items?"asked Raye. "They are located all over the wild magic chart...different dimensions." said Avalon. "These jewels should help you find it.."said Avalon holding up five pairs of jewels...They boost your magic too...for beyond the kingdom of Avalon, you cannot use your magic for those of you who derive them from Avalon." he told them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Later.. "Serenity,Endymion the two of you shall wear these sun jewels...and search this dimension."said Avalon. "Amy and Zoiscite,this snowflake jewel should help you where you're going."he told them. "Raye,Jadeite you two explore this dimesion and this dragon jewel will help you.." "Lita,Nephlite...this lightning bolt jewel should help you,when you explore this dimension. Mina and Kunzite,the two of you will search this dimension...the moon jewel will help.."he told each of them. Serenity nodded.Amy frowned slightly at Zoiscite.Nephlite gave Lita a quirky grin,Mina smiled a Kunzite and Raye and Jadeite couldn't be bothered. With that...they each found themselves with their 'partner' and in the dimension they were to search..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serenity and Endymion... "So...uh...what do we do now?"asked Serenity. Endymion shrugged..."Avalon said the jewels would help us...but how?"he asked aloud. "Well...lets start with the forest...it's the closest."said Serenity. Endymion nodded... Amy and Zoiscite... "Where do we start?"asked Zoiscite. "Well...Avalon dropped us near the ocean...I'm guessing we start there first.."said Amy. "But how do we search water??We have no boat..."said Zoiscite. Raye and Jadeite... "Great..we have to search the mountains first...wonderful place to start." muttered Jadeite. Raye rolled her eyes again...Turning her attention back to her magic... she had tried summoning a ball of fire...but what she got was only a small flame.. Lita and Nephlite... "Hmmm,a swamp..."said Lita.Nephlite surveyed the area closely.."How are we going to get across the swamp??"asked Nephlite. Lita frowned and tried to use her magic by summoning a plant to grow... however,only a small shoot with a few leaves appeared...Lita frowned...her magic was weak... Mina and Kunzite... Mina and Kunzite got along well since Mina had once rescued him from a runaway river...( refer to Avalon...) Kunzite bent low and studied the ground texture and surroundings... Mina stared at the moon stone around her neck...how was it going to help her and Kunzite find the magical item..?? Concentrating,Mina tried to pull even the tiniest of light to bend and form at her will...unfortunately,all she got was a twinkle in the sky. Kunzite laughed,but stopped abruptly when a rustle in the bushes were heard... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serenity and Endymion... "What was that??"asked Endymion.Serenity froze..."What do you think it is??"asked Serenity clutching Endymion's arm. Endymion was trying hard not to smile...she was clutching his arm!! Suddenly.....a spitting noise was heard.. "What in Avalon-"said Endymion. A giant blue striped tiger lept from the bushes... Serenity gave a scream."Aaaah!!!" The tiger turned to face them and gave a snarl...then,laughter was heard.. "Who-"began Serenity. A man appeared... "I see you've met the tiger the wild magic created.."said the man. "Allow me to introduce myself...I am Morgan.And I have come for you,Serenity of Avalon." Serenity's eyes grew wide..."Wha-" "But then...I think I'll let the tiger take care of it all..."he said laughing and disappearing in a ball of flame. With that he disappeared in a puff of smoke... "Endy!!What do we do!!My magic isn't strong enough!!"panicked Serenity. Endymion gritted his teeth...*Damn...We're too close to the edge!!*he thought to himself. The huge cat let out a fearful snarl...and it leapt for Serenity... Endymion gave a gasp..."Serenity!!!"he exclaimed. Serenity shut her eyes and waited for the cat to pounce onto her... "Sun stone hear my call, Distract the cat with a ball!!"shouted Endymion closing his eyes. Serenity peeked up.The tiger was like a pussycat playing with a ball. Endymion breathed a sigh of relief... Serenity jumped up and hugged him."Endy!!You saved me!!"she exclaimed. "It was nothing...I realised the stone could be used to enhance our magic which is currently weak.."said Endymion. Serenity just smiled and gave him a light kiss on the cheek... But suddenly,the cat gave a loud growl...he didn't seem to be interested in the ball anymore.... Endymion looked over at Serenity...she merely nodded... "Sun stone,hear my call, Make that tree grow tall!!!"shouted Endymion pointing the jewel at a tiny shoot... Suddenly the shoot shot up growing big and fat.... "I call upon the magic of Avalon, Hear my plea, Return this kitty to the tree!!"shouted Serenity pointing her own stone at the tiger... Vines of the tree wrapped around the cat....returning it to it's bush like state... Serenity smiled faintly at Endymion...*Guess he's not bad...* The sun jewel around their necks glowed slightly.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amy and Zoiscite... Amy smirked at her sighed...her companion was lagging her down...Zoiscite trying to keep up on the ice berg she had created with the snowflake stone. Being a nymph had it's possiblities.Sure she derived most of her magic from Avalon,but she was a nymph of water and ice,first and foremost. Suddenly,a huge sea dragon appeared and let out a roar.... Startling Zoiscite who fell off the slippery ice berg... Amy gasped....*Oh no...this isn't truly my element!!More like Michelle's.* she thought to herself. The sea dragon's huge tail smacked the sea,causing a huge wave.... "Oh no..."cried Amy as she saw Zoiscite and herself were in the path of the huge wave. Amy racked her mind for a spell.... "Ice and water moving in the breeze, At my commmand,FREEZE!!!"she cried out pointing the snowflake jewel at the oncoming wave... A burst of bright blue hit the ocean water..causing a solid block of ice to appear in place of the wave. The sea dragon let out an angry shriek.... Zoiscite who had recovered from falling off the ice berg,pointed his own snow stone..."Dragon,reptile blood like ice, Water around freeze into ice!!"he exclaimed. The dragon shrieked again...it's middle encased in ice.... *Guess he isn't as bad as I thought...he is very intelligent...* she thought as the jewels around their necks glowed a faint blue.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Raye and Jadeite... "I tell you,we should head straight back down!!"exclaimed Jadeite. Raye rolled her eyes...Jadeite had been giving her outbursts and muttering expletives ever since they'd started climbing... "Will you quit complaining already??You're giving me a terrible headache." said Raye to Jadeite. Jadeite just scowled....*I hate her,I hate her,I hate her...*when suddenly a tremor shook the mountain... "What the..."he began. "AAAAaaaaah!!!"screamed Raye. Jadeite turned to look,"Wha-Raye!!!"he shouted. The tremor had opened a giant crack in the ground and Raye had fallen into it...her hands barely holding on... "Hold on!!"Jadeite screamed. He ran to the side of the gorge that was steadily closing again..."RAYE!!" A frightened look was in her eyes..."Jadeite...."she whispered. "GRAB MY HAND!!!" "I-I can't..."cried Raye...tears beginning to form.. "YES YOU CAN!!!REACH FOR IT!!!"shouted Jadeite.Raye reached out....their hands managed to brush slightly... Jadeite grabbed her hands and pulled quickly...getting her out in the nick of time... Raye stared at the ground that now was closed...and burst into tears hugging Jadeite tightly. Jadeite shushed her..."It's alright now...shhhh.."he coaxed... *Thank Avalon she's alright....I didn't mean it when I thought I hated her.* he told himself.. Unknown to the both of them...the dragon jewel had glowed a faint red... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lita and Nephlite... "The jewels haven't even helped us so far..I wonder how the rest are doing though..."said Nephlite. "Oh stop complaining...one things for sure...the others aren't having a problem like you!!"exclaimed Lita. "Huh,....be glad Avalon didn't pair you with Jadeite..."smirked Nephlite. "He wha-"said Nephlite cut short... "Neph?" "Lita!!'cried Nephlite. "What the-..quick sand!!"she panicked."What to do...what to do...."she wondered. "Vines and roots... Grow!!"she exclaimed...unfortunately...her magic over plants was pretty weak and only managed to grow a few inches... She groaned.."Forgot..." Quickly she grabbed a dead branch on the ground..."REACH FOR IT!!!" Nephlite stretched his arm trying to grab hold of the precious lifesaver. He barely reached it when his neck was already in the pit.... Lita pulled with all her strength..."AAaah!!!"she cried out. Tugging at the branch hard...*Please please...let me get him!!!I don't really think he's a pest...*she muttered to herself.... Finally,she managed to pull him back onto solid ground...Both panting and gasping for air..."Thanks...Lita.."panted Nephlite. Lita wiped some sweat from her brow and grinned at him....the jewels on their necks forgotten...glowed a faint colour... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mina and Kunzite.. "Sigh...Kunzite...I'm really begining to wonder...will we ever find the magical item??We don't even know what it is..."said Mina. "Who is after you Mina??"asked Kunzite suddenly. Mina froze...."Wh-What???"asked Mina. "Somebody is after you Elemental's right??Who is it??!"asked Kunzite sternly. Mina turned away..."I-I don't know what you're talking about.."muttered Mina. "Oh yes you do...Somebody is after you all..otherwise you wouldn't have been hiding in the Forest of Aeden..."said Kunzite staring at her... "I-I..." "Who is it Mina...Who are we up against??"asked Kunzite. Silence... "MINA!!I just want to help you!!"exclaimed Kunzite walking in front of her.. "I don't know.." "MINA!!"exclaimed Kunzite grabbing her shoulders hard.... "I-I....can't tell you...not yet..."said Mina shoving his arms and walking away quickly. Kunzite stared after her...*Sigh,Mina...I'm just trying to protect you..* he thought to himself,bowing his head... The jewels given to the by Avalon glowed slightly...unnoticed by either one.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The wild magic.... The woman on the black throne laughed..."So...Avalon thinks he can beat me does he...well..he's in for a surprise...looking for five magical items... I can only wonder what it is...no matter...his efforts will be futile..and all the magic of Avalon...will belong to me!!!"she gave a piercing laugh... It echoed throughout the place..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be continued.... So...can anybody guess who the woman is??What are the five magical items?? Any guesses??What roles do our Avalonians play????
