Hey this is a story about a normal loner called Eywa. She has shoulder-length, messy blonde hair and grey/blue eyes. Her skin is tan and she is about 5"6. Read on to find out what happens when she gets mixed up with a rare mineral called Mew Aqua…
Eywa's POV
Ah, it's so beautiful down here. I could stay here forever. I thought as I swam over a gorgeous seabed teeming with life. Blue, green, red and yellow coral housed millions of tiny, rainbow coloured fish. Their scales glinted in the midday light that shone through the surface of the water. I felt at peace as I drifted over the mini paradise, taking in all of the silent underwater hustle-and-bustle. However, a particularly bright sparkle caught my eye. As I swam over, I noticed more aquatic activity the nearer I got to the light. A fish swam up to my face, making me blink. I could have sworn I saw it smile as it swam back over to the little 'treasure'. I followed it. Even though my lungs were about to burst from lack of air, I daren't surface in case this beauty wasn't there when I dived back under. As my hand found a thin chain, I felt a sudden calm descend over me. My lungs now desperate, I surfaced quickly, gulping down air and squinting in the bright summer sun.
I almost forgot about my discovery as I swam back to the hidden beach. Skipping through the sand and into my tiny, homemade shack, I hummed as I dried off and got dressed into a black spaghetti strap top and a pair of greens trousers. I stopped as I noticed the mysterious object glittering on my floor. Picking it up, I found it was a beautiful silver necklace with a small blue gem. It was simple but so gorgeous that I felt compelled to put it on. As the cool metal touched my warm skin, a shock ran through me. Startled, I tried to pry the necklace off, to no avail. It was stuck to my skin, literally! After panicking for a few seconds, I decided that it didn't matter and skipped towards my door. I glanced in the mirror as I left, then doubled back on myself. My ears! They were elfin! I mean, literally (normal sized but) pointed. As I turned my head in wonder, I also realized that my hair had grown to past my butt! I stared in wonder at my new image. The gem on my necklace had also gone colourless but I thought it was insignificant. Tying a khaki bandana round my head and tying my now long hair up with a piece of thin string, I wandered out of my house, deep in thought.
What has caused this change? I'm not moaning about it or anything, in fact I rather quite like it, but why has it happened? It has to be something to do with that necklace.
I took my normal route, through the park, past the commercial beach and past that sickeningly pink café, Café Mew Mew or something. As usual, I ignored everyone I passed since all I got was nasty comments. As I headed home, I heard footsteps pounding behind me, along with a tiny voice saying "Mew Aqua Ichigo, Mew Aqua!" It sounded like a little kid. I stepped to the side, away from the running person. They passed me. It was a teenage girl, probably 2 years younger than me, with red hair and a little pink (eurgh!) fuzzball flying in front of her. The little pink thing spoke again. "Wrong way Ichigo, wrong way!" The girl skidded to a halt and looked at it in confusion.
"Well, where is it then Masha?" she asked. The fuzzball didn't reply but flew over to me and, for some strange reason, pulled off my bandana. I daren't say anything because it was pink and creepy. The girl ran over to me. "Alright, give it up Cyniclon!" she said, holding out her hand. This girl is weird, but I decided to play along.
"Give what up, little girl?" I asked, smirking at her. "Oh, and by the way, what's a Cyniclon?" I tilted my head to one side, puzzled. Her eyes widened.
"Y-You're not a Cyniclon! Why do you have the Mew Aqua? Where is it?" she demanded.
"Mew…………Aqua?" she discombobulated me.
"Little blue sparkly stuff!" she replied, getting agitated.
I understood this time. "Oh, that stuff. The thing in this necklace was blue, but it went clear when I put it on. I don't know why anyway, I've gotta go. Bye!" I yelled as I began to run off. I was vaguely aware of the girl running in the direction of the café. However, someone grabbed hold of me and trapped my arms against my body. A voice whispered in my ear. "Where do you think you're going with MY Mew Aqua?" it sounded male, and I didn't like it. So I tossed him over my hip. He crashed into the floor, then sprang back up, rubbing his head. "What was that for?!" he cried indignantly, then lunged for me. I went to kick him, but he flew into the air. My confusion quickly turned into anger, followed by an eerie calm. A voice penetrated the white of my mind. You know what to do. All you have to do is do it. The voice sounded female, but I couldn't be sure. Reaching deep inside myself, I found a blue light. This is so cliché. I thought as I dived into the light. Words leapt unbidden to my lips, and I blurted them out without thinking. "Spirit daggers!" I cried, then felt something light land in each palm. They were shimmering silver daggers, each with a beautiful design picked out on the handle in tiny blue gemstones.
"Ooooh, I found something good." The weird flying dude said, smirking and flying down towards me. I lunged at him with my daggers, surprised at how quickly and effortlessly I moved. I managed to leave a cut on his leg, but he slashed my left eye, blinding me. Some people arrived behind me, but I paid them no attention as I decided I should end this. I won't kill him, just make him leave. Feeling the blue light growing stronger, I glared at the flying thing, and focused on hurting him.
"Soaring Eagle!" I yelled, pointing my right dagger at him. A bright yellow flash erupted from the end, then took the form of a flaming eagle, majestic in its ferocity, that followed him back into the sky. It smashed into his belly, knocking him to the ground in front of my feet. I straddled him, placed my hand on his forehead and pushed energy down my hand. "Go home." I said, using the energy to teleport him home. Sighing, I stood back up and absorbed my daggers back into the blue light. The world span and I felt a shooting pain in my left eye. Putting my hand over it, I felt something sticky. As I passed out, I was vaguely aware of the smell of blood, of a slight tingling underneath the cut, and of a boy, roughly my age, kneeling over me. After that, my world faded to black.
So, what do you think? Good? Bad? Ugly? Please review. I've got writers block on War For The Elven Guardian and was watching Tokyo Mew Mew so I thought I'd give this a go.
