Prologue
The shadows danced in the room as the candle lights flickered from time to time. A group of people with different attires were gathered here, looking like they were waiting for someone to come. A few of them would whisper to each other from time to time, but all in all, it was pretty quiet. It was obvious by just looking at them that they were ancient. All off them had wrinkles on their faces that contained years of wisdom.
A young girl that looked like 14 or so with turquoise hair suddenly barged in by kicking the door open. She had on a blue-green cloak with a design that looked liked an eye. Some of the elders frowned at her unruly entrance. An old woman who was wearing a robe with the character "Air" written on it greeted her, "We've been waiting, Sonia."
"Yeah, yeah, I know," Sonia said impatiently. She flapped her hands, as if she's clearing off smoke.
"Stop being so disrespectful to your elders, Sonia," a cranky looking old man snapped. He was wearing a green robe, with the character "Earth" on it.
Sonia ignored him and sat down on a chair. "What did you want me here for?"
The one who greeted her replied, smiling, "We wanted to know who the next Avatar is. And we want to know when he/she will Awaken to replace us with other chosen ones. You are the only one who has the vision ability right now, and we need it."
"If only the vision ability didn't choose an insolent brat like this one," the old man with the Earth robe muttered.
"Oh, stop your complaining, she's our only vision sien!" an elder with a water robe threw up his arms as if begging for forgiveness from the heavens.
"Shhhhh!" Someone urgently shushed him. "Sonia's starting to look into the future!"
Everyone in the room turned their head to Sonia simultaneously and saw that she was indeed in a trance. Her green eyes were glazed as she looked at something no one could see right now.
"In 7th grade… Fumizu will be awakened… She will have a…friend…and…gather the leaders of the…clans…" It was hard to hear Sonia as she recited the future monotonously. After the last word, Sonia swayed and collapsed, just in time for one of the elders to catch her.
"Did you record that?" An old woman with red robes turned toward an Earth Wusyl, who was scribbling furiously on a parchment paper. Still writing, the Wusyl nodded.
"Good," the woman said with satisfaction. "The information that Sonia just recited is very important."
"But when is that Avatar, or Fumizu, going to 7th grade?" the elder with the Earth robe muttered, interrupting everyone's discussions. "That barely gives us any clue! For all we know, the Avatar could be Awakened a century from now!"
"Well, at least we know that the Avatar would be living in the Mortal World…" the woman with the Air robe pointed out.
The woman with the Fire robe said what was on everyone's mind, "We'll just have to wait and see."
