The Life I Never Knew
Summary: Seven adults (22) get transported to Tortall and join Daine, Numair, Alanna and all those other characters in the Emperor Mage book in The Immortals series. If you only read Daine/Numair fanfics, then don't read this one. They both 'fall in love' with one of the original characters.

Chapter 1:
Listen Nanya, I've had enough of Your Reading. Next Time, I'm Bringing
out the Gun!
Nanya Frewing sat reading a book as usual. Normally it would have been one of the ridiculously thick Wheel of Time books, but she had decided to make a change in the book today. It was the third book in The Immortals series by Tamora Pierce.
"Quite a downfall from your normal thousand page books Nanya," stated Dirk Talsman, one of Nanya's six best friends. "Someone die?"
"Very funny, Dirk. I've read all the current Wheel of Time Books if you really must know," snapped Nanya.
"Could just read the encyclopedia," suggested Rachelle Hill, aka Rocky, another of Nanya's friends.
Nanya finally gave up trying to read her book. There was only so much a girl could do with so much interference.
"C'mon Ash, haven't you finished your game of solitaire yet?" whined Carn Garnier at Ashley Haver. Tasha had been on the computer for the last half hour. She was apparently playing solitaire, but the fact that Dante Javry was playing with her with the joystick proved that the two had gone to playing another game. Knowing them, it was probably Dragon's Call, Nanya's new Mortal Combat game.
"What game?" asked Mirk Alpaca, who had, until then, been staring idly out the window of the house. The seven of them shared two large houses. The girls shared one, the guys the other. The computer that was in the corner was Nanya's, as well as the several other technical things around the room. The CD, tape and radio for example. Ashley had several dungbells and a at home work out gym. Carn kept darts and a pool table while Rachelle had different knives and daggers as well as fishing rods. She enjoyed fishing and hunting.
The boy's house was usually a complete mess. There would be clothes strewn all over and the fridge would be full of pizza pops and empty milk jugs. Ofcourse, they did clean up once a month. With the girl's help.
"We're playing Dragon's Call," replied Dante with out looking up, but his wince showed that Ash had probably just knocked him out. "I'm done Ash, you always kill me at these games."
"I'm next!" said Carn jumping up, but Mirk and Dirk beat her to it. She smacked Dirk up side the head as he was the one who had pushed her away so he could play.
"Ouch!"
"What's this?" said Mirk. The others crowded around the computer. It looked like an advertisement, but they didn't get the chance to read it. As soon as Rachelle had joined the group, the advertisement lit up and the room was empty of the seven twenty-two year-olds..
Daine didn't know what woke her up at first. Then she noticed the bright light outside. She threw on a pair of breeches and a shirt and went out of her room in the royal palace. She ran outside. Thayet, Jon and Numair were already there.
"What is it?" she asked Numair looking up.
"I don't know. It's been up there for about three hours. It's been getting brighter and brighter," explained Numair. He looked troubled. "You don't think this is some trick of the Immortals, do you Jon?"
"I don't know Numair, I've never seen anything like it before. It almost makes It seem like daylight out here," said the king.
"Uh, Jon, that's probably because the sun is coming up," laughed Alanna the Lioness joining the group.
Jon just glared at his champion, but his heart wasn't in it.
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
The group heard a high pitch shriek followed by a bunch of thuds. The light blinked twice, then it was gone. The group ran toward the noise.
Ash rubbed her behind as she landed. Carn had screamed right in her ear, so now Ash had a head ache too.
"Everyone okay?" called Ash.
There were five okays and then a muffled "mmph mmf mmm ph ft mm."
"Dirk, you're on top of Nanya, get up," said Rocky.
Dirk got up and Nanya began gasping for breath. She opened her mouth to speak, but then five people came running into the clearing. The guy in front tripped over Nanya's legs. He was tall and had a rather long nose, but he was really handsome.
"Ow!" she shouted followed by a series of curses the seven friends had never heard before.
"Numair!" shouted the other man in the group. He was also really handsome with a dark beard and dark hair.
"Sorry," said Nanya. "But next time, I'd watch out. I think you cracked the bone in my leg."
Nanya got up daintily. She fell back down.
"Dirk," she hissed. "Why'd you trip me?"
"It wasn't me!" argued Dirk. "It was him!"
He pointed at Numair.
"Dirk, you expect me to believe that he tripped me when you are in the same place?" hissed Nanya
"Actually, it was me. This guy you call Dirk wasn't lying," said Numair.
"Oh, sorry Dirk."
"Hey, I've been blamed for worse than that," replied Dirk.
"Er- who are you?" asked Daine.
"I'm Nanya Frewing, that's Ashley Garnier. The blond girl is Rocky Hill, the girl next to her is Carn Haver, Dirk Talsman, the tall boy over there is Dante Javry and the last boy is Mirk Alpaca," Nanya said.
"Well, I suppose we should take you to Corus, but you are all wearing such strange clothes," said Jon. His eyes went from Carn in her short shorts and tank top, to Nanya in her jeans, t-shirt and Vancouver Canucks cap, then to Dirk and his ripped oil covered jeans and oil covered shirt, then over everyone else.
"Nice clothes," said Alanna looking at Dirk. He grinned sheepishly as he looked at his oil covered out fit.
"Thanks," he replied. Dante just rolled his eyes.
"Well, c'mon and we'll get you some decent clothes," sighed Thayet leaving the clearing.
The seven friends followed.
"Where are we?" hissed Carn.
"I dunno," was all Nanya could reply as Daine fell back to walk beside her.
"You have Wild Magic," she said simply. She didn't even look at Nanya.
"Really? Co- wait, doesn't that mean I'll go crazy or somefink?" Replied Nanya. She recognized the characters from the Immortals Series.
"Not necessarily, Numair could do the thing to you that he did to me that makes it so you won't get lost in yourself," Daine gave a small shrug. Nanya looked over at Dirk and noticed that he was looking at Daine with interest. Nanya glared at her friend who shrugged and gave her a wink. She didn't think it would be good if Dirk got taken with Verilidaine Sarrasri (Did I spell that right?).
The strange group reached the palace and Daine. Thayet and Alanna took the girls away while Jonathan and Numair took the guys.
"How's this?" asked Thayet holding up a dress at Nanya. She stared at it in horror.
"A dress?" she choked. "The last time I wore a dress I tripped and made a fool of myself. Me and dresses don't agree.."
Thayet shrugged and Alanna held out a pair of breeches and a sleeveless tunic.
"Much better," said Nanya accepting the outfit from the lioness.
Rocky was shaking her head in horror at the dresses Daine was showing her.
"No dresses, please, no dresses," she moaned.
"Okay, here, this should do," Daine held up a pair of brown breeches and a matching tunic. Rocky smiled brightly and accepted them.
Carn had been the only one who the women had managed to push into a dress. The other three all wore breeches and tunics as they were all tom boys who grew up around older brothers.
"Stormwings." said Daine suddenly. "They're coming in fast!"
The women ran outside. Alanna took out her sword as the Stormwings landed.
"Why are you here?" Demanded Thayet looking at the immortals with distaste.
"I don't know," said the female wearing a crown at the front. "We were, called here. At least that's how it seems."
The Stormwings looked just as confused as the humans.
"Now I'm really freaked out," said Carn. "Nanya, next time you read a book, make sure it doesn't have half human half metal birds in it!"
The Stormwings looked at Nanya as Carn yealled at her. Suddenly the queen bowed to her.
"WTF?" said Nanya looking at the creatures.
"You are she who speaks with immortals," explained the Stormwings. "Your wild magic is different. Immortals sense you and follow you. We are yours to command. I am queen Reeka of the Bloody Mountain Tribe."
"Er- aren't you guys evil and allies with Emperor Ozorne?" asked Nanya. This was really freaking her out.
"Our legends say that she who speaks to Immortals will make peace between the immortals and humans with the help of the wild mage," Queen Reeka stared pointedly at Daine. "All who do not follow you will be banished to the Chaos lands and will die a slow, very painful death there."
"Lovely," said Ash. She sounded ready to barf.
"I'm really, really confused," said Nanya. "I think I'll go night- night." And she fainted.
"Is she going to be okay?" asked Reeka. "It would be pretty bad if our one chance at peace died on us or something."
"She'll be okay. She's just out cold. She'll be up in about three hours wanting to read a book about this 'She Who Talks to Immortals'," said Ash with a shrug. Nanya would eventually get up.
Nanya woke up the next morning. Ash had been off on her guess of three hours, but not on the statement that her friend would be just fine.
"Ugh, I feel like I have a hangover, only I didn't get enjoy myself to get it," she groaned.
"Well, you did have a pretty nasty fall. Thayet told us what happened yesterday. Did you know you were this person who talks to immortals or whatever the stormwings called you."
Nanya looked up and saw Numair. She had gotten to find him rather annoying.
"You?" she asked looking at him. "Why are you here?"
"I was the one that healed you," he said leaning back in his chair. "Alanna said it wasn't that bad and that it would give me practice."
"Joy," said Nanya. "You probably left me with the head ache."
"Yes, yes I did."
"Annoying git, can't you heal all the way?" she snapped suddenly white fire appeared in her hand and she used it to knock Numair back. "When'd I get that?" said Nanya looking at her hands with were still surrounded by the magic.
"You have the gift," said Numair getting up. His hair flew around everywhere. "A strong one to, not quite as strong as mine, but almost. Mithros help us all! Now I'll have to teach you how to use it."
Numair didn't sound as angry as his words were though.
"What was all that commotion in here?" Daine poked her head around the door and was followed in by Ash, Alanna, Rocky, Dirk and Jon. Their eyes took in Numair with his messed up hair, and Nanya with the fire still around her hands. She looked mad.
"You have the gift?" said Jon in surprise.
"They all do," said Numair. "I realize that I saw a glow around all seven of them. It's stronger now." Dante, Mirk and Carn came in just as Numair finished.
"You mean we can do magic?" asked Dante. "Cool!"
"Yes, you should probably try," stated Jon.
Dirk made bronze fire appear in his hands, Carn made yellow fire, Ash aqua, Rocky made red, Mirk made navy blue and Dante made grey.
"Wicked!" said Dante as he used his magic to trip Carn. She used hers to knock the air out of him in return.
"You can't just use magic like that!" cried Numair in exasperation. "It takes up your energy, so you have to use the magic wisely."
"Oh, okay," said Nanya and she sent Numair flying out of the room so he landed against the other wall. It hurt, but it wasn't that bad, thankfully.
"I call that wise," said Nanya happily flopping back on her pillow.
"Why do you have it in for Numair?" asked Thayet as Alanna helped the lanky mage up.
"He probably ruins her perfect little world where she's best at everything," taunted Dirk.
"Excuse me, I need to destroy the guy who will soon be remembered as Dirk, the guy who didn't know how to keep his mouth shut!"
Nanya was out of the bed and she and Dirk were running down the hallways.
"That was, different," said Jon watching them.
Meanwhile Ash was looking closely at Thayet.
"Why are you staring at me, do I have something in my teeth?" asked Thayet.
"No, but if you look, you and Nanya look exactly alike, except that you have darker hair and eyes. It's kinda weird," replied Ash. She looked confused.
Dante looked too.
"She's right. That is weird.."
Then there was a really loud scream.
"Dirk, what's up with Nanya?" Carn asked as Dirk came in.
"Some wolf immortal called a Flamer or Fire Wolf or War Wolf came and said that Nanya's parents sent him here to protect her and be her friend," Dirk looked confused and almost scared.
"What's wrong with that?" asked Thayet.
"Nanya's parents died when she was five," said Carn. "They and her brother Josh were murdered. Ever since then, she's been living with here sexist uncle. That's why she's probably mad at Numair over there. Her Uncle doesn't believe woman can ever best a man, he believes they were only made to flirt. Nanya decided to teach him a lesson by showing up every boy in our class at school in everything. Sports, smarts, strength and trouble making. We're all evenly matched in everything, the seven of us. That's why we're such good friends. Numair's stronger in magic, that probably makes her feel like her uncle may have been right. Her er- wasn't very nice to her. We took turns having her over for sleep overs so she wouldn't have to spend much time with him."
"Now you know my life story, happy?" said Nanya from the door way. She looked angry and confused. There was a wolf-like creature that came up to her waste standing beside her.
"Hello," it growled.
"He says his name is Naku," said Nanya sitting down. "He says- he says my parents are gods."
"They are!" said Naku earnestly. "Arneith, Goddess of Immortals and Mithros, the Sun God. They asked my mother to find your Flame partner and send them here, and I'm here. Of course, that's only if you want to bond me. If you do, then we can work off each other and get magical energy from each other as well as many other good things, but if you die, I die, If I die, you die, that's the downside."
"Show them what else you can do," said Dirk grinning. Naku shrugged. There was a bright white light and when it cleared, Naku was covered in heavy, silver armor.
"Nothing can break this stuff- except for a god's magic, but I doubt I'll have to face that, unless I make Mithros or the Goddess really mad- again," Naku trailed off seeing everyone staring at him.
"Again?" said Alanna.
"Er- well you see. When I was twelve I kinda broke the Goddess's watching thingy that allowed her to watch you. By the time we had managed to fix it, you had already gotten the dominion jewel. Arneith talked the other gods into not destroying me. You do not want to see the Goddess when she's mad! You would of thought that you could of died your something, yeesh!" Naku finished his story and looked at Alanna.
"I almost did die!" said Alanna. "What if I would've, the goddess could've helped me if not for you!"
"Key word being almost, you didn't die and I will bond you Naku," said Nanya. "It would be cool to have a friend like you, and I have a feeling we'll get along just fine."
PLEASE R AND R. IF YOU ARE GOING TO FLAME ME, PLEASE MAKE IT CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM NOT JUST 'THIS STORY SUCKS AND SO DO YOU!' PLEASE GIVE ME ANY IDEAS ON HOW TO IMPROVE THE STORY, EVEN IF YOU LIKE IT! THANKS.
