Serenity and Endymion.. "Alright Serenity....who is after you??"asked Endymion. "What???!!"said Serenity. "That man....Morgan,he said he came for you!!That bush tiger couldn't have been created accidently to pounce on you..."reasoned Endymion. "You're right,it wasn't!!But now is not the time...I cannot tell you."said Serenity sadly. Serenity walked on,ignoring the burning eyes of Endymion that were boring into her back.... Endymion stared after the young woman....she was a mystery that intrigued him....he knew little about her,except she was an Elemental...nothing else. *Sigh...who are we up against Serenity....how can we work together if you don't trust me????*thought Endymion to himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Raye and Jadeite.. "What do you think happened??"asked Raye curiously staring at the ground. Jadeite frowned and touched the ground to examine it...*The wild magic is in chaos,which is no doubt...* "Well??You seem disturbed by something..."pointed out Raye, "Err...nothing...can we head back down the mountain yet??I know Dragon's are fond of mountains and everything...but I really do not like climbing," said Jadeite. "What's that suppose to mean???"asked Raye angrily. Jadeite threw his hands up in frustration and headed down the slope, without his partner's consent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amy and Zoiscite... Amy stood on the surface of the water staring at the serpent who was incased in ice. Zoiscite was trying in vain to get back on the ice berg...but since he was wet,it made it difficult.... Amy was dully aware of a splash that sounded when a wave swept through the water....Amy turned to see Zoiscite resurface from the water..Zoiscite once again grabbed hold of the ice berg and clung to it,spitting out a mouthful of salt water. Amy gave a giggle.She held out a hand to Zoiscite,which he took hold off. A blush crept onto Amy's face as she used the snowflake jewel to create two ice platforms for Zoiscite to walk on....(Sort of like snowshoes...) With that,Zoiscite was able to walk on water...but that didn't mean he couldn't fall... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lita and Nephlite.. Lita frowned at the swampy water in front of them...Nephlite was silent.. There had been an unspoken truce between the two when Lita had rescued Nephlite from drowning in quicksand... "So,how do we get across??"asked Nephlite. "I have no idea...my magic isn't strong.I really wish I was back at Aeden now...."said Lita unhappily. "Didn't Avalon say the jewels were to aid our magic??Maybe you can grow some plants using the jewel...."suggested Nephlite. "Worth a try..."said Lita. "Roots of trees, Plants hear me, Lightning jewel,help me... Grow these leaves...." She exclaimed pointing the jewel to the ground....A light shot from the jewel,the small shoots of grass began to grow....a giant stalk grew,it's roots stretching out across the swamp water... "You did it Lita!!!"exclaimed Nephlite. Lita let her breath out in a rush...She hadn't even known she'd been holding her breath. "That was tiring..."said Lita. "But the thing is,you did it!!"smiled Nephlite. "But we better test how strong those roots are first...we wouldn't want them to snap while walking now would we??"asked Lita smiling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mina and Kunzite... They had been silent ever since Kunzite had confronted Mina and asked her who was after the Elementals.... Mina and Kunzite ran into a dome made out of light,a barrier which was there for some reason...theyu couldn't even see,what was in the dome.... "Mina...can you break this light dome barrier down??It might be protecting the mystical item we are suppose to find..."said Kunzite turning to Mina. "I don't know..but I can try....you'll have to help..."said Mina. Kunzite nodded and beckoned to say out a spell.... *Well..here goes nothing..*thought Mina... "Moon jewel with your magic light, Help us see into this light."said Mina pointing the jewel towards the dome... "I add the magic of it's twin jewel..."said Kunzite pointing his own moon jewel towards the dome... Suddenly,the barrier burst into blinding light and reshaped into the shape of a silvery dragon. It had piercing green eyes and it's scaly skin the colour of what once was the barrier dome. "Oh dear..."said Mina. "I think this was more than a barrier...it's also a defense system!!" exclaimed Kunzite as he grabbed Mina's wrist and ran..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The woman in the wild magic sat on her black throne....her head shadowed by the shadows that were her domain.... "Well Morgan??I trusted you to capture the Elementals....or are you not capable??Shall I enlist your two twin sisters aid???"asked the woman mockingly,menacingly.... "N-No,I shall get those Elemental's Mistress....I will!!I just decided to try and get the Elemental's leader first!!!But the pathetic bush tig-" "Enough!!I do not want excuses...Avalon will try his best to aid his champions into finding what he needs....Make sure they fail!!!"screamed the woman at her lackey. "Yes,Mistress!!"exclaimed Morgan disappearing. The Lady gave a smirk..."Do you really believe Morgan will succeed Mistress???"asked another woman stepping out of the shadows. Another voice gave a laugh..."As if Morgan could do anything right.." laughed the voice,which was clearly female. The Lady still smirking...."No,Morgan will not succeed against the Elementals...but he's welcome to try.....I doubt Morgan will be coming back here....ALIVE anytime soon...."laughed the woman evilly. The three women broke into insane shrieks of laughter which echoed throughout the dark dimension drifting in the wild magic..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amy and Zoiscite.... "Look,land!!"said Amy suddenly... "Where???"I can't see anything through this fog!!"exclaimed Zoiscite in frustration. Amy shook her head lightly...*How can anybody so intelligent,be so dense?* wondered Amy. "Water as Mist, Mist as Water, Snowflake Jewel,hear my call, Help us see through this misty wall!!" *Not as if I need to...*thought Amy to herself... Surprisingly,the mist parted...showing Zoiscite a clear view of land.... "Now,all we have to do is get to it...."said Amy seriously. Zoiscite was about to agree when another wave swept across the calm surface,disturbing it.... "Aieeayaaa!!"he let out a shout,his ice shoes (imagine pontoons)tipping forward....he landed on the water with a wet smack.... Amy gave a giggle when he resurfaced,spitting out a mouthful of water again... He gave a low curse..."Aaargh!!This is the 13th time!!!"he cried out in anger. "You exaggerate...it's only been 12..."said Amy trying to keep a straight face,failing.... Suddenly,an image appeared in the water...Amy and Zoiscite stared..instead of their reflection it was the face of a man they did not know.... "Hello,Nymph...allow me to introduce myself...I am Morgan.And I'm here to take you to my Mistress..."said Morgan icily. "What??!!"shouted Amy...recognition and fear playing across her beautiful features.... "Happy traveling..."said the errie voice... "What??" Suddenly a whirlpool appeared before them...Zoiscite gasped."Wild magic!!" he exclaimed... "Aaah!!!!"they cried as they were sucked down.... "They held on to each other as if they were life rafts..."Hold on tight!!" shouted Zoiscite. "I-I can't..."cried Amy anguishly. "Don't lose to him!!!"shouted Zoiscite over the roar of the waves.... But their hands slipped....."Zoisciiiiiite!!!""shouted Amy. "A-mmmmmmmmmmy!!!" Unknown to them both...their jewels gleamed brighter than the last time as they were sucked down into the whirlpool..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serenity and Endymion... Serenity pushed through some bushes and suddenly stumbled forward... Luckily,Endymion had been right behind her and caught her from falling smack....-into an abyss???? "That was close....close...clos-...clo."echoed Endymion's voice. "Where are we??...we...we...w..."echoed Serenity. "At Black Echo Ridge of course.."said a voice. Endymion and Serenity turned to see the man...Morgan again... "You!!"exclaimed Endymion. "Yes me!!!I will get all you Elemental's for my Mistress!!"he shouted sending a gust of strong wind to blow both of them down the canyon.... "AHHHHHHH!!!!"screamed Serenity... "Serenity!!!Hold on!!Grab on to my hand!!"cried Endymion. Their voices echoing as they fell... Serenity's clear blue eyes met Endymion's deep blue ones... "Don't let go..."cried Serenity. The canyon seemed to yawn on forever...*Probably why they have black in it's name....like an abyss.....*thought Serenity hazily.... She was dimly aware of Endymion shouting at her not to lose conciousness.. Serenity held on to his hand tightly.... But suddenly,an angry force ripped them apart...drawing an anguish cry from Serenity's throat... "Noooooo!!!!Endddddy!!!"she screamed as they were pulled apart. "Sere!!!"he shouted. Until they couldn't see each other anymore....forgotten,the jewels gleamed brighter than last....but neither paid any attention...as they shouted for each other... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Raye and Jadeite "We've been walking for ages...we'll never find the mystic item.."said Jadeite..."And it's getting warmer.." Raye scowled...Ever since they'd started the expedition,Jadeite had done nothing but whine....She didn't mind the heat....in fact,she welcomed it. Suddenly,a howl pierced the air.... "What in Hades name??"cursed Raye. "A giant mountain wolf..."said Jadeite in awe...The creature was large and white...a mountain wolf as Jadeite had said...it had gleaming ice-blue eyes and a fierce snarl as it stared at the two of them,it's saliva dripping from it's mouth... "Ick,drool..."said Raye disgusted. "Fascinating...I thought creatures like this were extinct."said Jadeite staring at the wolf. It gave such a fearful snarl,Raye grabbed Jadeite's hand and pulled him into a run.This shook him out of his trance. "Hey!!What are you doing!!I haven't finished looking at it yet!!!"he shouted. Raye frowned,her lips becoming a thin line...."Well,excuse me but sorry to point out,that thing doesn't exactly look friendly....it's drooling and it looks like it wants us for lunch!!"shouted Raye over her shoulder. Jadeite was about a reply with a scathing remark when the wolf gave another loud growl and began to chase them....Saying no more,Jadeite grabbed Raye's wrist and pulled her even faster... "C'mon slowpoke..."he said pulling her. Soon.... Raye gasped,out of breath...She was beginning to get angry.... "Enough running!!I'm tired and out of breath!!I say we just give the creature a taste of magic!!"she shouted. Jadeite stopped.."You crazy?????That thing looks hungry!!!" Raye smirked..."Who was the one wanting to study it before????"asked Raye. Lifting the dragon stone,Raye chanted... "Fire burning soul, Dragon,strength so bold... Flames at my command, Spark and give light at my demand!!!"she shouted pointing the jewel at a tree..fire from the jewel struck the tree...the wolf came to a stop as some flames jumped off the burning tree and onto it's beautiful white fur. The wolf gave a yip of fear and ran off... "Rain appear!!!"shouted Jadeite,using his magicks.... Soft raindrops fell....a light rainfall put out the fires and got them wet...Jadeite welcomed it...a change from the stifling heat of the sun.... (Author's note:The Generals don't derive their magicks from Avalon... Endymion is skilled in magic and does not need to derive his magic from Avalon,but does not use them...) Raye on the other hand wanted to shout at Jadeite for doing it.... When the brief shower stopped...a beautiful rainbow appeared....Raye stared in awe as she forgot about Jadeite's spell... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mina and Kunzite... "I c-can't keep up!!!"cried Mina who was puffing.... "Yes you can Mina!!C'mon..."said Kunzite tugging her arm. "C-Can't....."said Mina dropping to a dead faint.... "Mina!!"shouted Kunzite... The silvery dragon was snorting and breathing fire...which was bad... If only....Mina hadn't fainted!!Why was he relying on Mina??He had his own magic.. "Stop!!!"he shouted at the dragon. The dragon came to a screeching halt....the dragon looked at it puzzled... but suddenly,it breathed fire down at them. Kunzite gasped..."Spirit shield!!"he shouted,a puff of smoke appeared leaving a gleaming sheild,it was white and sparkled a light silver... The dragon roared in anger..... "Magic of Moon, Uh....I don't care, Just protect us already!!!"exclaimed Kunzite frustrated...he wasn't very skilled in ryhme spells.... The sky suddenly turned dark and the moon shot out it's beautiful and cleansing light....it opened a portal...which sucked the dragon straight into another realm... Then,the darkness disappeared,the day returning.... Mina cracked open an eye..."Where's that shield of yours gone??"asked Mina enquisitively. "It's,waitaminit!!You were awake all along????You saw me using my shield?" exclaimed Kunzite staring at Mina. Mina gave a quirky grin...."Of course..."she giggled,blushing slightly. "Sigh....it's back in my body..."answered Kunzite. A puzzled look appeared on Mina's face...."Back in your body??" "Forget it..."sighed Kunzite,picking Mina up to an upright position. The moon jewels,gleamed slightly again... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lita and Nephlite "Well....we've finally made it past the swamp...now we're in a..-meadow?" asked Lita confused. "Wow,it's beautiful here..."said Nephlite. "I-I don't understand...we got out of the swamp and come out in a meadow? What's the purpose??"asked Lita staring around her... Suddenly,the earth trembled.... "Wild magic!!!"they shouted simultaneously. A round portion of the earth shot up....on top,a man appeared...The man gave a spine-chilling laugh... "Ah..the weather wielder is here.."he laughed. "Who are you!!!??"shouted Lita. "I am Morgan and have come for you..."he laughed evilly. "Lita??"asked Nephlite. "Correct...my Mistress commands..." Lita paled slightly,not unnoticed by Nephlite...."Lita??You know something about this don't you...?"asked Nephlite. "I-I.."she stuttered. "Pathetic..."smirked Morgan.A flick of hiw wrist,thick fat vines sprang from the ground. Wrapping themselves around both,Lita and Nephlite. Lita and Nephlite tried hard to hold on to each other....but the force of the vines pulling them away and pulling them into the ground was too strong... "Lita!!!"shouted Nephlite. "Nephlit-ttte!!!"screamed Lita. They were pulled into the soft ground,....a woman watched with silence as she had seen their lightning jewels flicker a faint colour... She disappeared as swiftly as she was there.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Raye and Jadeite. "It's been quiet....too quiet..."said Raye as she watched her surroundings for any movement at all.... "Why so cautious all of the sudden??Somebody after you??"drawled Jadeite. Raye stiffened..."Can't I be cautious???Just because I'm cautious doesn't mean somebody is after me..."said Raye angrily. "I was just joking..."but seeing her serious expression and small flame burning at her palm,it was not a good idea.Something clicked... "Someone IS after you aren't they???"asked Jadeite suddenly,turning to meet Raye's eyes. "No."said Raye stiffly. "Then answer this,why have you Elemental's been hiding in Aeden for so long???"asked Jadeite. Silence..... "I've read Legends Raye...you can't fool me....you Elemental's have existed for a long time...you're the new generation..."said Jadeite. "H-How did you know??"asked Raye suddenly. "I read books..."said Jadeite steely. "All right..I'll tell what I can.."surrendered Raye. "How long have you Elemental's existed???"asked Jadeite. "My generation,have only existed for a short while...we were aware of our magic since we were 3....we protected Avalon from outbreaks and such when we were 9...but then,SHE came...and we had to go into hiding since we were 15." "Who is SHE???"asked Jadeite puzzled. "That is something I cannot answer...."said Raye despairingly. "How old are you...and how long have the Elementals first existed??" "My generation are only 18..there have been many generations of Elementals before us...The Elementals existed since Avalon was young...nearly close to a thousand years ago...."replied Raye. (Sound familliar??) "Who is SHE??"asked Jadeite again,determined to know... "I don't know....I truly don't...we only know her name...we have never faced her before....Avalon told us she was angry and wanted revenge of him for tossing and banishing her from Avalon....she needs us...her name is-" Suddenly,wind and leaves lept up around them....dust and sand flying about,cut off Raye's words... "What th-"said Jadeite. "Ah,the Pyro....now I have found you all...."said a man floating above them... "Ah!!Who are you???!!!"shouted Jadeite. "I am Morgan,faithful servant to my Mistress..."said Morgan cackling. Raye frowned.... "Fire Rings!!!"shouted Raye throwing them at Morgan intensifying them with her dragon stone... A wall of water swallowed the flaming rings... "Hahaha....you are more fiery than the others...they didn't even know what hit them..." "Y-You have the others???"asked Raye. "But of course!!!"laughed Morgan gleefully. Sunddenly, a fist of ice cold water grabbed at them both.... Raye screamed at the icy cold...her magic was useless when it was fighting water....how could she use any magic to free herself??? "Giant sponge appear!!!"shouted Jadeite from his icy grip.... A giant sponge suddenly appeared out of nowhere,sucking up the water... Morgan frowned...his eyes gleaming with hatred..."So,you think you can best me eh???I always enjoyed a good challenge.." Jadeite smirked.... The earth rose up grabbing him.... A cage of sand caught Raye...Raye gasped...she couldn't use her magic on sand....they'd turn to glass!!From the looks of how thick the sand was,she couldn't break out of it...when she hit the sand,more kept rushing to fill it's place... Morgan gave a laugh and vanished.... The ground pulling Jadeite into it and the sand disappearing into the ground... "JADE!!!"screamed Raye. "Raye!!!" The woman by the trees saw their gems flicker a soft red...unknown to both....She sighed and disappeared.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Endymion.... Endymion woke up...his head hurt and he was on a ledge...somehow,he'd managed to conjure up something and break his fall...but where was Serenity???His mind replayed what had happened.... Serenity had been taken....leaving him.... "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"shouted Endymion which sounded like something deep and primal.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kunzite.... What happened???First they'd been chased by a silver dragon,suddenly a man named Morgan appeared and threw him against the tree and he'd blacked out... "Mina????"he called. No answer.... "MINAAAA!!!"shouted Kunzite..... Morgan must have taken her....he must have been one of the people after the Elementals...He groaned and buried his head in his hands..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jadeite.... Jadeite woke up and found himself on the ground....he was at the same place he had been when he and Raye had been attacked...Raye???Where was she? "RAYE!!"he shouted. But she was gone...... Had it all been a dream???No...he still had the jewel...and his partner was still missing....definately not a dream.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nephlite... Nephlite awoke and scanned his surroundings...he was not underground,but he was in the meadow...*Lita??*he thought. He sat up searching for any sign of Lita...Nobody in sight..... "Lightning Jewel!! Help me find Lita!!"he shouted pointing it into the sky.... Nothing happened....Lita wasn't in the same realm anymore.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zoiscite... Zoiscite was awakened by the sound of waves hitting the beach....he was on the island,Amy had found...but how could that be??? The last thing he remembered was getting sucked into a fierce whirlpool. What was he doing on the island???Where was Amy???Or that man they saw in the water... Whatever happened had taken Amy....and he was left in the realm...alone.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Heart of Avalon.... "It has begun....."said Avalon staring into the pool of magic...Fate and Destiny watched on with their Father in silence as the events took place... unable to help...but watch.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To be continued.... Cliffhangers!!Don't you just love them???Alright everybody...any guesses what happened to our favourite Elementals???Is Morgan going to succeed?? Who was that mysterious woman watching among the shadows???What is the purpose of the flickering from the jewels???They are... :Þ I'm not telling!!
