(Ruby's P.O.V.)

(Ruby's dream/memory)

`I was running through the forest away from my house, where the worse babysitter I've had was. She was making me watch TV. When I'm only allowed thirty minutes a day usually in the morning while I eat breakfast. I stopped to catch my breath when I noticed that I had gone off the path and now am lost. I fell to my knees and started to cry for help from my mom or anyone to fine me. Then suddenly I heard a sound, like footsteps coming towards me but they didn't sound like small feet or adult size feet. No, they sounded bigger but soft like an animal. I couldn't see anything pass five feet around me; it was dark in the forest of Tokyo, Japan. I was scared, I didn't like being alone, I've never came into the forest before. I wanted my mother, I wanted her to pick me up and say 'that everything was alright and there was nothing to be scared of.'

I heard a rustle in the bushes in front of me. When the noise got closer I screamed. Then suddenly I saw the most beautiful wings to ever be seen. The wings were attached to a pure black wolf the size of a horse; it walked over to me and nuzzled its face against mine. Then it talked, in a male's voice and said, "My name is Dangan, I am the Guardian of this forest. I'll take you home little one, if you can get on my back." he then laid down so I could get on. After I got on his back, he started running through the forest and then I fell asleep...'

'I had that dream again. The one telling... no showing me; as a little girl meeting Dangan for the first time. I've never shared these dreams or memories with anyone, except my best friend and elemental partner; Aroara Lithe.'

I shook my head and was trying to focus back on the class and lesson of the day. "Alright class, please write this down the rarity of the listed elements as I write them." said Professor McNightwind as he wrote the information down on the black board. Professor John McNightwind is a wind and earth elemental, I know very contradicting elements but hey he can make it work; and he's not the only one with elements that contradict each other. For example me, I have fire and darkness. Now back to the professor, he's one of the youngest teachers here at Nine Winds School for all Magics. He has black windblown back hair to his shoulders, midnight blue eyes, tall maybe about 6'11" with wide shoulders, he's the basic of what some girls would call 'tall, dark, and handsome'.

Of course he does nothing for me because he may seem like a strong and fearless man... well he was until he met me and Aroara that is. I seriously want to know why people except Aroara and the headmistress find me scary or why they tend to run away from me. I was just about to fall back into my thoughts when Aroara elbowed me in the side and made me pay attention to the lesson again. On the board was the list of elementals and how rare they were.

Earth- Normal

Fire- Normal

Water- Normal

Wind- Normal

Lightning- Slightly rare (one every 5 years)

Thunder- Slightly rare (one every 10 years)

Shadow/Darkness- Rare (every 200 years there's one or two that show.)

Spirit- Super Rare (once in 250 years there's one.)

Time- Ultra Rare (there's only one in 500 years.)

Gem Stone- Hasn't been seen since Merlin's Time.

I noticed that both Aroara and I had one or two in my case, rare elements. That's when the bell rung to single the end of class and the start of lunch. Me and Aroara packed up our stuff, and then walked all the way to the great hall. We walked to the seventh year table as I sat down and said hi to the guards that seem to get scared of me. I turn around and face the table as Aroara handed me a menu to order lunch.

I looked through the menu and ordered my favorite food which was: orange chicken, steam rice, noodles and steamed broccoli with a mug of hot sweet tea. Everyone had order their food when the headmistress stood up and everything went quiet. I knew something was about to happen yet I didn't know what.

"Good afternoon students and fellow staff. I have important news to give you all. Now everyone here knows that this year at Hogwarts School of witch craft and wizardry there will be a tournament with two other schools, sadly we are not competing but we were asked to go to watch and mingle with the other schools from start to finish of the tournament. Now I will be picking ten students to come with me and five teachers. Also to help with deciding who will be coming, we will have a contest of team survival. The last ten that survive will be the ones going, we will start tomorrow morning. The teams must be a max of four students. You may eat." The headmistress said as she sat back down and began to eat.

I turned towards Aroara and smirked. "This should be easy since we don't have anyone else on our team. Now all we need to figure out is how the contest is going to be done." I said to her as I noticed Dangan come into the great hall and over to me. I pick up another menu that was for pets and I order some raw meat for him. The plate appeared on the floor for Dangan, which he started eating. I turned back to my food when I noticed my entire table was quiet; I was about to ask why everyone was so quiet when Aroara elbowed me again.

I looked at her and she just pointed to the person standing beside us. I turned around to face the person to find the headmistress standing there. I smiled at her and said, "Headmistress Seigo, how are you this fine evening?" She looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I noticed Aroara do a face palm; I then realized what I said. Which is my response when I'm in trouble with the headmistress or caught playing a prank? Which to my defense I only prank those that piss me off or being a bully and I see it. Also I've been a little too busy to pull any pranks or get into trouble. "I mean… how are you?" I said with a sheepish smile on my face.

"I'm fine Ms. Redrose and I know you haven't played any pranks today. I want you and Ms. Lithe in my office after dinner. You'll be gaining two new teammates." She said as she began to walk back to the staff table. I made a face at the idea of getting new teammates. Aroara gave me a look that said 'I'm not happy about this either.' damn she always knows what I'm thinking.

All through lunch Aroara and I were talking about who the new teammates would be. We also talked about what powers they could have. Once we were done with our lunch it was time to head to our next class. This was weapon combat with Professor Jimmy McNightwind and yes he's the younger brother of Professor John McNightwind. I know confusing; the way students here at Nine Winds call them is this: Professor McNightwind 1 and 2.

"Alright class take your seats today will be a lecture on the correct armor you'll need against which weapon. So take out your quills and parchment to take notes." said Professor McNightwind 2.
