Geode
Prologue
Alexandra, a plain girl, with short, straight, chestnut hair, and side bangs, always thought of herself as a plain, boring person, besides the fact that one of her eyes changes color from red, to purple, to blue in the light. But other than that, she sees herself as the same exact human being as the next, and the one before her. She sighs as she does her homework at the only desk in the orphanage. Another large pink firework explodes in the distance behind the small window in front of her. The crowd roars once more as the Lolirock concert concludes.
"Hey One eye, you almost done hogging the desk? More important people have homework too!" A shrill voice behind her asks, as the prettiest and brattiest girl in the orphanage, Ariana, shoves Alexandra off of the wood chair, laughing with her mean friends, Grace and Eva.
"Go back to the trash hole you crawled out of, weirdo!" Eva cackled. Holding back burning tears, Alexandra rushed down the rickety stairs to the boiler room below the kitchen and dining rooms, and collapsed on her bed
"Thank you everyone, and good night!" Iris shouted at the millions of Lolirock fans all cheering for her and her friends. All of a sudden, her pendant glowed. Clasping her hand over it, Iris ran off stage, followed by Talia and Auriana. "Someone's in trouble!" She explained when they entered their dressing room.
"Talia, I'm so tired, I don't want to run around and find the person in trouble now!" Auriana complains.
"I don't get it." Talia says to herself, and starts to pace.
"What is it, Talia?" Iris asks, looking up from her pendant to Talia.
"How your pendant still glows. We got all of the oracle gems, why does it still work?"
"Hm, I'm not sure, but don't you still want to help? We don't need oracle gems to help people." Iris explains, placing her hand on Talia's shoulder.
"Yeah, you're right. Thanks Iris." Talia concludes, turning to Auriana, she says, "fine. We'll cast a location spell. I'm tired too, but next time, we'll find them without magic."
"Yay! Thanks Talia!" Auriana squeals and hugs her. Iris giggles and joins hands with her two friends.
"Crystal locum-austin diere!" They all shout together, and the framiliar yellow orb materializes in front of them, and shoots off out of the dressing room.
"HEY! WAIT FOR US!" Iris shouts, and darts from the room, chasing after the glowing orb, followed by Talia and Auriana, headed for the far away happy homes orphanage.
Wiping tears from her face, Alexandra sees a small red butterfly fly onto the ground in front of her.
"Why, hello there." She says to the butterfly. Another one flutters into her room, followed by a whole swarm. Screaming, Alexandra falls behind her bed, and when she looks up, a woman stands before her, red hair streaming out behind her, half a mask hiding her face, and a red suit covers the rest of her body.
"Hello." The woman says, extending a hand to Alexandra. When she doesn't accept it, the woman sighs. "My name is Praxina. I am a sorceress here to help you." Who are you? She asks, sitting on Alexandra's bed.
"M-my name's Alexandra, but my friends call me Alex." Alexandra asks shakily.
"Alex, then."
"I said my friends, I'm not sure about you though."
"I am a friend, and I have an offer to make."
"I'm listening."
"I am from a land called Ephedia, a planet far away from earth's solar system. And so are you. You are a princess from a kingdom on Ephedia called Arusta. You, like myself have magical abilities." When Alexandra opens her mouth to speak, Praxina holds up her hand, "wait until I am finished. Anyway, a while back, five evil ephedians brutally murdered my poor brother, Mephiesto, And left me to die. So now, my proposition is that I will train you and give you more power than you can imagine, if you help me avenge my brother and return him to my side."
"Um, I'm not sure, who killed your brother?"
"Do you know what Lolirock is?"
"You mean the most famous band in all of the world? Of course I know what it is."
"The ephedians who killed Mephiesto are the three band members of Lolirock."
"What?! But, they'd never do something like that!"
"Have you met them?"
"No."
"Exactly. You have no idea who they really are. So, will you help me?" When Alexandra hesitates, Praxina continues, "no longer would you be the boring, lonely, bullied girl. Instead you can be more powerful than you can imagine, and you can destroy all who wronged you. Do we have a deal?"
"Yes." Alexandra responds almost immediately, taking Praxina's hand. When she does so, she feels power fill every particle of her body. "This power... what is it?" She asks, slightly freaked out.
"That's dark magic. The most powerful kind of all. Give it a try." Praxina says, gesturing to the ground in front of them. Smirking, Alexandra aimed her hand at the ground. A circle of light formed around her hand, with a design of a sideways figure eight on it, and a blue crystal shot out from the ground. Open-mouthed, Alexandra circled the crystal, and as she moved, the crystal changed color from red, then purple with the light. "That's only part of what you have the capability to do. Come with me, I will teach you what you need to know, Alexandra."
"Please, call me Alex." Alex insisted, still marveling at the crystal she created.
"And you can call me Prax." Praxina said. Her hand on Alex's shoulder, they both teleported in a flash of red light, just in time, for Iris and her friends walked through the open front door of the happy homes orphanage.
"Hello? Is anyone here?" Iris called into the seemingly empty building.
"Coming!" A voice came from a room behind the entryway. A short, and rather large woman approached the doorway, drying a plate she held in her hands. "Would you like to adopt?" She asked.
"Oh, no thank you. You see, we were, uh, we used to live here before we were adopted ourselves! And we'd just like to take a look around our old stomping grounds!" Iris says, a nervous smile spreading on her face. The woman looked them over, then shrugged.
"Sure, why not. Feel free to take a look around! I'll be in the kitchen." The lady said, and turned back to the way she came from. When she left, the three friends immediately walked around the first floor, searching for someone in need.
"Girls! Over here!" Talia whisper-shouts, motioning to a staircase leading to a room below the floor. The girls all climb down the staircase, and are greeted by a grey room with a single bed on the right side, with a large crystal protruding from the cement floor.
"What is that?!" Iris exclaims, eyes landing on the crystal.
"Oooh, it changes color!" Auriana squeals, circling it.
"Auriana, be careful! That's dark crystal!" Talia warns, approaching the crystal.
"Could it be Praxina?" Iris asks, concerned.
"It must be, she's the only one that has dark magic. Unless..." Talia gasps, "girls, I think Praxina has found a new ally."
