So, I reposted all the chapters

Hope that didn't freak any of you out.

To compensate, here is another chapter!


Cassia:

Peppa, Tech, Lato, and Maize.

Peppa took one step onto Cassia, and immediately wanted to go home. It was sunny, which was alright with her, but that was it. There was sand everywhere, just waiting to get into her armor, and there was water.

Water everywhere.

Now, Peppa drank water like everyone else, but she was a fire wizard. If she was completely submerged in water and not dried off immediately, then she would probably die.

And now she was on the water planet.

Surrounded by the accursed liquid.

"I'm starting to question Ms. Madeline's logic when she decided to send me here," Peppa muttered.

"Oh," Maize said. "This must be really uncomfortable for you."

"What are you guys talking about?" Lato asked as he threw himself into the water. "This is awesome!"

"The kitty and the fire princess being sent to the water planet," Tech said. "You guys are lucky I'm here. I'm strongest against water."

"Are you trying to imply that I'm weaker?" Peppa asked dangerously. Tech paused for a moment, considering how he was going to play this. Should he play it safe?

"Yeah, I am," Tech said, deciding to take the dangerous route.

Peppa growled and pulled out her sword. "Why you little ignorant fool!"

"Stop!" Lato shouted, coming back out of the water.

"Bring it on, sparky!" Tech shouted.

"Stop!" Maize muttered. He glanced at Lato, who nodded. Both shot a blast of magic, one wind and the other water, at the two arguing teens. Both teens fell to the ground in pain. Further inspection revealed that they were unconscious.

"Now I see why we were paired up with them!" Lato exclaimed, experimentally kicking Tech.

"Why?" Maize asked.

"To control them!" Lato said. Maize still looked confused, so Lato decided to explain. "My water magic and your wind magic can be used to keep these two in line, while still incorporating someone who has strong earth magic to use against the water type enemies of this planet."

"Oh!" Maize said with a smile. "We have a pretty smart teacher."

"So, now what?" Lato asked, looking at the duo. They were lying next to each other, still totally out of it.

"Should we move them?" Maize asked.

"Yes, yes we should," Lato said deviously. Maize looked at the other boy and raised an eyebrow.

...

"OH MY GOD!" Peppa screamed, jumping off of Tech. She had woken up, her cheek pressed against his, his arms wrapped around her.

"Argh!" Tech shouted as he, too, backed away.

"That was great!" Lato hooted. Maize nodded, unable to speak through his choking laughter.

"That was not funny!" Peppa hissed at the two boys, her face red.

"What makes you think that we did that?" Maize asked innocently.

"Who else would it be?" Peppa asked.

Lato shrugged. "Who knows? Maybe Tech decided to try something on you." Peppa stared at Tech for a few long seconds, before looking away. "I know that Tech is stupid, but he really can't be that stupid," she said, shaking her head. "If he was that stupid, then he wouldn't be alive."

"Hey!" Tech shouted. "Stop with that stupid talk, okay?"

"The truth hurts, doesn't it?" Peppa hissed. Tech's eyes widened.

"You want to go?" Tech asked angrily.

"Oh my god, are they seriously doing this again?" Maize asked.

"Apparently," Lato whispered. He turned to Peppa and Tech. "If you two don't stop, then we will glue you two together. Now, we really want to, so you'd better stop giving us the reason to."

"Well, I could always just kill him," Peppa mused, causing Tech to back away quickly.

"Then we will glue you to his dead body," Lato threatened. Peppa frowned.

"I could always incinerate his body," she muttered.

"We will soak you and his body with water so it will not burn," Lato said.

"Just give it up, Peppa," Maize pleaded. "We're almost to Ambergris Prep. That's where we need to go to get the information on the Water Protector, right?"

"Yeah," Tech said. "Let's just go there now and forget about this entire conversation." He began to lead the way across the sandy beach, between towering blue walls, and towards a large, pink building. It looked like an enormous sea rock.

By the time they got into the building, Peppa was no longer steaming with anger. They walked into the principal's office and were met with by a spry man in his early thirties, with a short black goatee and mustache. He was wearing a conical hat that was secured with a purple sash.

"Hello, you must be Madeline's students. She told me that you were coming," the man said. "I am Sturgeon, the principle of this school."

"This is a school?" Tech asked.

"No, it's a prison for the insane," Peppa said with a completely serious face. "This man is the warden. We are here to institutionalize you."

"Don't joke like that, Peppa," Tech said, turning back to Sturgeon. They all took seats in front of his desk. After some small talk and tea, they explained their situation to him.

"What can you tell us about the Protector of Water?" Maize asked after an hour of talk.

"Well, his name is Kai. He's quite powerful. He lives in a cave, not far from here," Sturgeon said. "He's quite hostile, though, so I recommend that you four are careful."

"We'll be careful, don't worry," Peppa said. Sturgeon simply nodded and pointed at a map.

"This is where it is, but I don't suggest going now," Sturgeon said, tapping the spot for emphasis. "If the sun goes down while you are deep in the cave, you will freeze to death."

"Huh?" Lato asked, just zoning in to the new information.

"You heard me, kiddos, now go to the inn to get a good nights rest. I will be there to wake you when it is time for you to go," Sturgeon said merrily, herding them from the room. "I'd hurry, or you'll have to share beds."

Peppa took one look at the three boys and practically sprinted for the inn, with Tech not far behind her. Neither of them wanted to share a bed with anyone, especially not each other. Lato and Maize just stood there with Sturgeon.

"Ah, young love," Sturgeon said dreamily, as if caught in an old memory.

"You must be out of your mind," Lato said. "They hate each other."

"That's just how it starts," Sturgeon said, still smiling. It was actually starting to get a little creepy. Sure, Maize was pretty sure they were into each other, but he didn't act so weird about it.

"Yeah, sure," Maize said, wanting to be away from the man as soon as possible. "We'll be going now."

"Alright, kiddos! See you tomorrow morning!" Sturgeon shouted as Lato and Maize practically ran from him.

"Bye!" The boys shouted. Sturgeon sighed to himself.

I sure hope those kids know exactly what they are up against.
