Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the characters I made up, and the plot but that's it.

Notes: The characters in this story come from our time only it's an AU. There are cities for non-magic users, and then there are cities for magic users. My characters go to a boarding school for Magic users but are from non-magic families.

Prologue

Aidan opened the door to her room. She threw her backpack on her bed and changed from her uniform. There was a knock from the adjoining door to the other room. She finished dressing and opened the door. Her friend Sera walked into her room. " So its Friday, both of us are stuck in school, so what do you wanna do?" Sera asked. " I think I'll go walk around." Sera sighted. " Come on! So were stuck in school! We can still find something fun to do. How about working on that invisibility spell?" Aidan shook her head and walked out of the room. " It's because we were fooling around that were stuck here! I am not going to risk extending my time here." " Party pooper." Sera said, following her friend.

They wandered around the halls, and stopped when they heard talking coming from a room. " I think it should be destroyed, who knows what trouble it could cause us."

" That's professor. Stellin." Sera whispered. Aidan signaled for her to be quiet.

" Such a small rock as this can not be so much trouble! Surely we can keep it safe."

Aidan recognized the vice as belonging to Professor. Erdan, the most unliked teacher in the whole school. " I'm afraid we cannot take care of, as you say, this rock. The golden Emerald is something that should not exist, for if it does its counter part The Silver Emerald is not far behind." This voice both girls recognized as the Senior Wizard, Professor. Sevvin. The most respected Wizard in the entire world, and the most powerful.

" We must get rid of it. I do not know why it has appeared after so long, but it bears no good, although it was suppose to be used for good. For so long we thought it destroyed. Well we will not accomplish anything sitting here, come we must meet with the others."

The girls quietly and quickly retreated around the corridor. They heard the Wizards walking out and closing the door behind them. Sera waited until she couldn't hear anything any more then ran to the closed door. " Are you crazy?" Aidan asked, reluctantly following her friend. " No I'm not but we've studied the history of The Golden Emerald and the silver one, I'm not about to pass up an opportunity to actually see it." Sera murmured the words of the unlocking spell, and the door swung open. She went in. " Come on! Do you actually think Sevvin would leave the Golden Emerald in a place like this?" Aidan asked. Sera turned to her, holding up the Golden Emerald. " Yep, I do." Sera said, smiling. Aidan stared at it with her mouth hanging open. " How.. What..He." Sera nodded. " He seems to have just left it here, that doesn't like something Sevvin would do." Aidan nodded, unable to say anything.

Sevvin suddenly had a bad feeling and reached into his pocket to make sure the Golden Emerald was there, but stopped. The other wizards looked back at him. "Is something wrong?" Professor Stellin asked. " The Emerald is no longer in my pocket." Sevvin said. A heavy silence followed, before the Wizards ran back the way they had come.

" It's suppose to make you even stronger right?" Sera asked. Aidan nodded. " So lets try a spell, something simple." " Alright I suppose something simple wouldn't do any harm." Aidan said. Sera started reciting a spell but stopped halfway. The Emerald started glowing. Sera let go of it in surprise. As soon as it hit the ground the floor disappeared and both girls fell into it. The Emerald stopped glowing and fell into the black hole.

************************************************************************

Alanna the Lioness and Raul of Golden Lake, rode in front of the company of soldiers, quietly talking. " Perhaps we should stop now, it will be dark in half an hour." Raul said. Alanna looked at the sky and nodded. They got of the road and went into the woods.

With the ease of long practice it wasn't long until their camp was set up and a fire had been started.

Allan glanced around. " Is something wrong?" Raul asked. " I have this feeling that something's coming." Raul grabbed his sword. Alanna put her hand on her swords hilt.

Raul shouted orders to the soldiers. The soldiers prepared themselves, grabbing their weapons and standing ready. In the woods to their left everyone heard two thumps, and then someone talking. " Sera get of me! I told you to leave the stupid thing alone! Now look what's happened to us." " I was curious! How was I supposed to know I had a mind of its own." " Didn't you study chapter eight?" " No I fell asleep before I started it."

" Your failing." "Am not." The voices stopped and two teen girls stumbled out.

One had long light brown hair plated into a braid that fell to her waist. She wore black pants of some strange material and a blue long sleeved shirt, with the picture of a rose in front of it. Her eyes were black. Her shoes were also strange; they seemed to be made of s strange material that non had seen before.

The other one had shoulder length, red hair and hazel eyes. She also wore pants of the same material that the other girl, but hers were blue, her short-sleeved shirt was red and had a picture of a small fox on it. She also wore strange shoes of the same material as the other one, but while the other's shoes were white and blue, this one's shoes were black and white.

The girls stopped moving and stared at them, and in their turn Alanna and the others stared at the strange girls. Alanna stepped forward, cautiously. The black haired girl brought up her hands in front of her making a triangle. " Come a step closer and you'll be a white bunny," she said. Alanna stopped. " Sera you don't even know if they mean to hurt us." " Better prepared then sorry." Sera said. " We don't mean any harm, we just want to know who you are, and what are you doing in the woods?" Sera narrowed her eyes, but the other smiled and stepped forward. " My name's Aidan, my friend there is Sera, and our story is quite strange. If your people stop looking at us suspiciously we could tell you how we got here, and hen you could tell us where we are." Alanna nodded and gave orders to the soldiers. Once the soldiers went about their business Sera dropped her hands to her sides. Alanna introduced both to Raul. " Now can we have your story?" Alanna asked. Both girls nodded, and Aidan started telling them their story.
