Pyro Sisters
Chapter 1
The Journey Begins
It was summer and the boiling hot sun made all the fire sprites in the forest restless. They buzzed through the trees so fast that they looked like wild fireflies. Our story is about two of these fire sprites named April and Amber from the Pyro Clan. They were very mischievous sisters and would love to blow things out of proportion, if they didn't already blow it up. Yes, these two sisters had a lot to learn about the world.
The Pyro Clan boasted in skillful warriors, but April and Amber were a bit clumsy and ended up doing more cleaning than training. Amber was a delightful fire sprite with dark red hair and light brown eyes that would glow scarlet when she used magic. She was 5'2" and had four translucent wings that tapered to a point and were elegantly curved. Her sister April had dirt brown hair and dark brown eyes. It was very difficult for her to use magic so she stuck with martial arts most of the time. She had two relatively large wings that made it difficult for her to fly very fast without knocking into something. They both loved music and to hang out with the boy sprites since they were much more exciting than the girl ones. They would play football by the pond or skateboard among the branches and the huge banyan trees.
One particular afternoon, the leader of the Pyro Clan called them into a top secret meeting. Since they weren't very successful as warriors they wondered what on earth Pyro Major would want with them. They thought their lives were pretty normal (as far as fire sprites go), but their normal lives were about to be turned up-side-down.
"I need you to immerse yourself with humans," Pyro Major said to them. "We have created a device that will help you to blend in with them and gather knowledge."
"Gather knowledge on what?" Amber asked.
"We need you to find a way to get to the Aqua Clan. Their headquarters are in the middle of a bustling human city and you two have been designated to complete the task of delivering a very important and valuable message to them. Will you do it?" Pyro Major inquired.
"Hell yeah!" April shouted.
"I'm glad to have your cooperation in this task." Pyro Major said after steadying himself from surprise of April's sudden answer. "I need you to go prepare your things you'll be in the human territory for at least a week or until we get things sorted out with the Aqua Clan. You two are going to be the mediators and have a very important role. Don't forget that. You may go now"
The two girls bowed out of the temple and then hugged each other with glee as they got to the bottom of the stairs.
"We're going to the human territory! This is so exciting!" Amber squealed.
"I know!" April replied. "Fire Sprites are rarely allowed out of the forest. We totally have to have as much fun crashing in the human territory as we do here. But we can't forget about this message or Pyro Major will have our heads."
"You're right. He said he was gonna give us a potion that would help us blend in with humans. I wonder what it'll be like." said Amber.
"No clue, for now we just need to pack up our stuff."
They flew home as fast as they could and started to throw the closest thing they could reach into the biggest bag they could find. Before they had realized it they had practically packed their entire closet and nearly half of their whole house. They never were very good at planning ahead or thinking rationally, but they say it added to their charm. After packing everything up they went back to Pyro Major's temple to receive the potion that would transform them into humans.
"Here you are," the Clan Alchemist said as he handed each of the girls a small vial that contained a green liquid that bubbled and oozed on its own.
"What's in this? It smells horrid!" April said as she took a whiff of the potion and than slammed the cork back on the vial.
"Just a few things that will make your appearance resemble that of a human's." the Alchemist calmly stated.
Amber had already chugged her potion. "It tastes like peppermint!" she said excitedly.
April hesitantly opened the lid to her vial and drank it one big gulp. "What are you talking about? It tastes like strawberry ice cream," she declared in surprise.
"Now that you've consumed the potion, you have fifteen minutes to fly out of the forest before the transformation takes place. It will last for 72 hours so you'll need to take extra with you incase your little adventure lasts longer than three days. Remember: You must not let anyone know that you're Fire sprites, so no using magic or telling anyone. That would endanger the whole clan," The Alchemist advised them.
"Okies," April said as she pushed things around in her bag to make room for the vials.
Amber and April went into the servant room in the temple to change out of their magical garments and into regular human clothes.
"These are so comfy! What are they called?" Amber inquired.
"The Alchemist said that they were called denim jeans. But you are right, they're very comfortable." April told her.
"Ahhhhhhhh!!" Amber screamed when she saw her reflection in the mirror.
"What happened?!" April asked with concern as she dashed out of the dressing room.
"Look at me!" Amber whimpered.
Her pointed ears were perfectly rounded and resembled a human's without a second thought. Her wings had shrunk in her back and the only sign left on her body that she had had any was a small scar on her back that resembled a tattoo. The same thing had happened to April as well.
"We look exactly like humans! How weird is that," April said as she examined her new body in the mirror.
"I don't feel comfortable without my wings," Amber moaned.
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it," April said reassuringly.
Looking completely like humans they found their way out of the forest and into the city. April took out the map Pyro Major had given them that would lead them to the Aqua Clan's headquarters.
"Ok, it says that we should turn left at the café," April looked up from the map and found that there were two entire blocks of cafes with small pathways separating each one.
"Which café did he mean? There are a ton of them!" she complained.
"What's the next place we need to go after the café?" Amber asked. "Maybe that'll help us choose which café to look for."
April read the next step, "Go into the Masabe Flower Shoppe. So all we have to do is find that flower shop."
"Let's ask one of the locals," Amber suggested.
"Good idea." agreed April.
They looked around since there were many people wandering around the long line of cafes. They girls then spotted two demons sitting together at a table not even twenty feet away. (Humans and Demons live in peace, but laws are still being passed about the sprites and fairies) They were both gorgeous men, one was a dog demon and the other belonged to the wolf tribe. The dog demon had long silver hair that covered his back completely and was gently tucked behind his pointed ears. He had golden eyes and a blue crescent moon mark showed on his forehead when the wind blew his bangs out of the way. A red line on each eyelid and two dark red stripes came from his hairline to his cheek and there were also two dark red stripes on both his wrists which were other visible markings on the dog demon. His attire consisted of a pair of dark jeans and a nice buttoned shirt with nice black dress shoes. The wolf demon had his long black hair pulled into a ponytail that revealed his pointed ears; he had electrifying blue eyes. He wore a pair of baggy jeans and a loose shirt that read: 'Play in your world, Get pwnd in mine.' A pair of black skate shoes covered his feet.
The two girls approached the table they were sitting at waited for the pair to acknowledge them. They looked from their conversation with questioning eyes.
"Excuse us," April started. "We're lost and were hoping you could help us."
"Sure, where do you to go?" the wolf demon asked.
"We're looking for the Masabe Flower Shoppe. My 'father' didn't give us very clear directions and told us to turn into one of the side streets next to a café. But we're not sure which one since there are so many."
The wolf demon sipped some of his chocolate milkshake through a straw while he thought about where the Masabe Flower Shoppe was. The dog demon stirred his cappuccino while thinking of the shop's location as well.
"Well,…" that wolf demon started but suddenly stopped.
"I'm April," the brunette answered. She pointed to the red-haired girl clinging to her arm, "And this is my sister Amber."
"Cool, I'm Koga," the wolf demon introduced himself. "This is my bud Sesshomaru," Koga said as he made a gesture towards the dog demon.
"It's a pleasure to meet you," Sesshomaru said, making the girls blush a little at his politeness.
"Now I remember!" Koga exclaimed and began to tell the sisters how to find their destination. "Ok, so you see that café down there? It's called The Moonlit Oasis, if you turn right into the alleyway there, go down a few shops, you should find the Masabe Flower Shoppe."
"And how would you know where such a shop is?" Sesshomaru inquired. All three of them stared at Koga.
"My cousin's dragged me along with her pick out flowers for her friends and wanted my opinion. Ayame can be weird like that, why would she bring a guy with her flower shopping?"
"Maybe she just trusts your opinion and wanted to hang out," Amber suggested.
"Good point," Koga agreed.
"Well, thanks for your help Koga and Sesshomaru. Later!" April said as she dragged Amber away from the handsome boys.
"What an interesting pair of girls," Koga thought out loud.
"Yes," Sesshomaru agreed with him. "I wonder if we'll ever run into them again."
Sesshomaru didn't know that they would be running into each other quite a bit as he watched the sisters disappear into the crowd. For some strange reason both of the demons had an urge to see the girls again and talk more. Little did they know their chance at reuniting would come sooner than they thought.
