Dear diary,
I have now sunken as low as to write in a diary, so as to at least have a friend. Everyone, excluding the Nicoras and the Northern Cross, absolutely hates me being here. All I can say is that the feeling is mutual because I've been stuck as a spirit for 2039 years. Originally I spent my years pretending it was cool to be the Fate's big mess up, but things defiantly change... Lately Leo hasn't been around at all, thank goodness, he is the only one here who actually has it in him to stand up to me and it rather annoys me. I heard from the cross that he has been banished from the spirit world. That sounds like fun, but first I have to figure out a way to get out of this place.

"That's enough for today."Elliot muttered. She snapped the note book closed and glared at its black spiral bound form loathingly. If there was one thing Elliot wanted more than anything it was to be able to see the Earth Land, and because of this desire she hated anyone or anything that had ever been there.
"Hey, Ellie-sama! Stop sulking and get over here! Leo-sama's back!" Capricorn was shouting to be heard over the fuss everyone else was making. Shaking in anger Elliot stood up, revealing her face that was flushed red in anger. Even though the spirit took the form of an average 19 year old girl with short, choppy lime green hair and black eyes, all the spirits are terrified of her immense power. "Never! Never call me Ellie! Only address me as Elementa or Elliot!"
Within moments everyone in the crowd- except Leo and the dumb Nicoras- dropped to their knees and began bowing and apologizing. Leo stared right at her for a minute before stepping over a clueless dancing Nicora towards Elliot. The two spirits stared each other in the eye for what felt like an eternity before Leo dropped his gaze to look at his freshly polished black shoes. Chuckling he looked past the girl in front of him, "You haven't changed one bit Elliot, but you should really be nicer to your fellow spirits." Pausing the orange haired man glanced back at Aries' trembling white and pink form, "I spent three years in the human world because I stood up for her. Just seeing you bully everyone makes me realize, maybe it's not the human world alone that needs to change."
Elliot glared at him, whether it was on purpose or not Leo had just made things a whole lot worse for himself. "Well at least you all can get out of this stupid, good for nothing prison! Did I ask for the fates to screw up? Did I ask to be the fabled 'Lost Key' that no one bothers to remember? Did I ask t-" Cutting herself off mid word Elliot realized that Leo had disappeared back down to the Earth Land. Huffing at this fact Elliot turned and stomped away. Behind her all the other spirits took a deep breath, standing to stare after the holder of the elements. All of them were curious to know what the underlying message in her and Leo's conversation was.
Crying out in frustration Elliot punched a nearby pillar, shattering it to pieces before leaping off the path and running into the vast waste land, that wasn't connected by the cobbled path. No matter how hard Elliot tried, she could never find her solitude anything but boring. When she finally decided she was far enough away from all those grovelling suck ups Elliot settled in for a nice long training session. The spirit pulled off her black sweater, leaving her in a white-blue sleeveless shirt that showed off toned arms and four distinct markings. On her left shoulder the markings of air and earth resided, one above the other. In the same fashion on her right shoulder water and fire proudly sat. While other celestial spirits had to call up on a deity or just bring about magic Elliot's powers manifested like a mage's.
"Element holder: water geyser!" A blue magic circle flashed in front of her out stretched hands before two powerful jets of water burst out of Elliot's hands; unifying into one stream when the heels of her palms connected. A blue light glowed from her eyes and water marking of three stacked waves. The liquid element was one of Elliot's absolute favourites to play around with because of the sheer number of things that you can do with it.
Hours passed, while she played around with the water letting each attack be more deadly than the last. She could feel some of her anger and annoyance being released through the pointless attacks, so she followed it up with one of a new element. "Element holder: rock dance!" Large brown, grey rocks appeared from nowhere and began circling the green haired spirit. Her eyes changed from blue to a luminescent brown. The Japanese symbol for earth began glowing and each time a rock passed by the marking it doubled in size, until Elliot had four boulders circling her; each weighing over a ton. Concentration was etched onto Elliot's face as she tried to position the rocks to form a primitive type of house.
From a distance Leo watched the temporary structure crash to the ground the second the brown glow from Elliot's arm and eyes faded. He stood silently on the hill as the girl flew into one of her rages, which were becoming more and more common each day. For the sake of every celestial being in the realm, Leo decided that he had to get his current contract holder to find Elementa's key. Out of his suit pocket Leo grabbed his sunglasses and placed them on the edge of his nose.
The lion took one last look at the small bits of rubble remaining where the large boulders once stood, before turning and walking away. Covered in sweat and gravel Elliot fell to the ground completely exhausted, the 2000lb boulders now a distant memory. Sleep over took her body and there she lay for several hours; not twitching nor snoring, just sleeping.
When Elliot finally roused herself she looked around, hoping the landscape would have changed. Realizing that everything was still the same she cursed, "Darn it! Why'd it have to be a dream?" Picking up a small pebble she chucked it high into the sky, only to have it come hit her in the head. A growl of frustration tore from her throat as she sat up.
"Ahem!" Jumping up and spinning around Elliot came face to face with the Northern Cross. This cross was small compared to the 7 others, with a more youth-like appearance.
"Oh Cruz, you startled me!"
"I can see that." The cross stated dryly, "The king wants to see you."
Had Elliot not been paying attention before, she defiantly was now. "What! The king? Why?"
Shrugging his scrawny shoulders, Cruz looked side to side before whisper in Elliot's ear, "Personally I think he's drunk again." Cruz straightened up and floated away, most likely back to the castle.
Now a few things to be known about the king is that he is exceedingly impatient; the second he sends a messenger the person is expected to be there. Secondly, when the king gets drunk (once every decade) he makes worse decisions than Taurus makes mess in a china shop. Elliot had figured that it was her job to annoy the king, especially when there was a possibility he was drunk, so she tried to take as long as possible. It was a solid hour later when Elliot finally sauntered into the king's palace, which had changed since last time she was in there. The entire entrance hall had been repainted from the regular purple to a green that rivaled Elliot's hair in brightness. Large tables of food had been set out and a banner, reading 'Happy Birthday', spanned the length of the room. Music filled the air as all the instrumental spirits picked p a lively tune.
Praying Cruz had been wrong; Elliot searched the room for the king. By the time she finally caught sight of the giant blue spirit everyone had stopped singing and was now caught up in conversation. Without warning the king suddenly addressed her, slurring all his words together, "So glad you could make it Elementa. Happy 2040th birthday in the celestial spirit world!"
Any conversation that had been active ceased and the partakers were all huddled together in fear. Just when it looked like Elliot was actually going to explode, she disappeared with a small flash of light.
