CHAPTER 1: Where?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^@^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On December 31st five kids went to sleep with happy, if a little disturbed, families. On January 1st they woke up with Destiny and Fate against them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^@^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pearl City, Hawaii-

A 14 year old girl with chocolate colored hair to her shoulders rose and yawned, she looked around for her hair brush. ºTree, tree, house, dog, fence, house, bus stop... Did I just see all of that!?º She looked around, yup, she did. "Whoa, mom's gonna be pissed." She noticed that the street sign said a name that was a few blocks away from her street so she waited for a bus. A gray bus pulled up and she got on. She sat a few seats behind the first one and closed her eyes to relax. Ocean green eyes looked up at her from the mirror and the bus was swallowed up by a silver light.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^@^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nuevo, California-

The sun rose on a 15 year old girl with dark brown hair reaching two inches past her collar bone, a 13 year old girl with dark brown hair to her collar bone and a 10 year old boy with dark brown hair to his shoulders in a ponytail. The 15 year old woke and stretched, she made to get off of her bed, and found she wasn't on it. She looked around and saw the boy and girl. She quickly shook them awake, "Michelle! Randy! Wake UP!"

The 13 year old, Michelle, knocked the older girls hand away, "Shellee just a few more minutes."

The boy, Randy, looked at them groggily, "What are you guys doing in my room?"

At this Michelle shot up, "WHAT!?"

Shellee sighed, "We aren't at home, THAT'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO SEE!"

Both Randy and Michelle looked up, "SAY WHAT!?"

Shellee pointed all around them, as Michelle and Randy looked around she read the bus schedule and map, "We're a few blocks away from the house so we'll have to take the bus."

They all waited for the bus and a gray one finally pulled up. They could see a girl a little older than Michelle on the bus and sat in the front. They turned to each other to talk and a pair of green eyes watched them, an infinite amount of sadness within. The gray bus headed right into a silver mist.

Santa Clara, California-

A weary hand brushed hair that was layered to the bottom of a 14 year old girls shoulder blades. Her hair is black, dark brown, light almost-blonde brown, and brownish red with violet, gold, orangish gold and pale gold highlights. Tired eyes openned as she turned onto her side. Suddenly her eyes flew open and she whirled around. The bus stop and area was foreign to her. "Shit, I'm here for only a couple of weeks and something like this happens." The girl looked for a map and saw that her home was a little ways away so she decided to wait for a bus. A gray bus pulled up, "Does this bus go to Keily Blvd?" She asked.

The dark blue haired bus driver nodded, "Yes, come on if you want to go 'cause it's leaving now."

The girl climbed on and stood there shocked, "Shel? Michi? Rand? Dani?"

Shellee, Michelle, Randal, and Danielle looked up, "Leslie!"

Leslie heard a soft, sad, voice behind her, "I am truly sorry."

Leslie turnned to meet a sword in the stomach. A huge pain engulfed her, she opened her mouth to speak and a breath left her softly. Then it was darkness, and her pain subsided to give room to oblivion. Shellee got up and ran towards Leslie's lifeless body, "NOOOO! LESLIE!" The bus driver's dark blue hair fanned about her in invisible waves. Her soft, ocean green eyes held pain and sadness, her blue jeans and teal t-shirt faded into a blue-green dress. She swept the silver sword in her hands in an arch, cutting Shellee deeply. Pain crashed upon Shellee as she realised that she was joining her cousin. Her mind slowly drifted into darkness.

Before the others could react the blue haired woman killed them too. She looked at some point in the distance as the bus and sword vanished, leaving the woman in her bloodstained dress. "I am truly, truly sorry."

"Do not feel sorry about doing your duty," A deep clear voice interrupted her thoughts. She turned to see a dark skinned man with flaming gold hair and gold armor. "It had to be done so you did it."

The woman curtsied, "Yes Mithros, I know that if I didn't do it the events would play out against Destiny."

"Wave Walker don't curtsy," A female voice called out. The woman now known as Wave Walker turned to a woman with black locks and amazing green eyes,

Wave Walker nodded, "Yes Mother Goddess." They all turned to a pool of light. he same pool of light that birthed the gods and goddesses, Mother Flame's womb.

Five collumns raised from it, when they recceeded into the pool five babies floated above it, four female and a male. Mithros took two females, the Mother Goddess a male and female, Wave Walker took the last female. A voice that reminded one of the carressing, yet painful, heat of fire spun on the air, "Until they come of age all shall only be immortals, keep them safe."

Mithros turned, "Wave Walker, get Shakith and Ganiel." Wave Walker nodded and disappeared. When she returned it was with a shaggy haired, dark eyed man and a fair haired blind woman with icy green eyes. The Mother Goddess held a boy and girl up as Mithros held a girl. The babies floated over to Shakith and were absorbed into her stomach. "Take these three and raise them, they are Mother Flame's children, they will be immortal until they come of age. The Mother Flame allowed you until the eldest was five, when she is all is to return. Go to the isle and take care." Shakith and Ganiel nodded, then vanished. Mithros turned to Wave Walker, "Get Arnec."

Wave Walker blushed lightly and disappeared. She returned with a dark skinned man who had thick brown hair and overly-friendly chocolate colored eyes. He wore only a thin, transluscent, loin cloth and was openly scanning both the Mother Goddess and Wave Walker. Well, maybe Mithros too, but no man in his right mind would stare at Mithros openly and expect to live. Arnec draped his hand around a blushing Wave Walker's waist, "This little doll said you needed me for something?"

Wave Walker got away and held the baby in her hands up. The baby floated over to the Mother Goddess and was absorbed into her stomach. Mithros turned to Arnec, "Go with Mother Goddess and raise the baby as your own, she is Mother Flame's child and will be immortal till the time comes. Tell her everything."

Arnec nodded gravely then swept Wave Walker into a passionette kiss, "Until we meet again!" He called out dramatically, then he spun the Mother Goddess into his arms and they left.

"Wave Walker," when she turned to look at Mithros her face was bright red, "I leave the gods and goddesses in your care until we return." Then the last baby was absorbed into a black onyx and disappeared.

Wave Walker shook her head, "I pity the child Mithros raises."

Isle Stae-

Shakith and Ganiel combined their powers to make a large fief with thirty bedrooms, a clean bed in each. A kitchen, a bathing room for males and another for females. Then a library filled with books on ettiquette, animals, Wild magic, immortals, life, death, breakups, Destiny, Fate, day, night, stars, war, the elements, and the ocean. They went to separate rooms and fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^@^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Arnec and the Mother Goddess made a mid-sized fief with twenty-five bedrooms, king-sized beds in each. A kitchen, bathing room for males, bathing room for females. Then a library filled with books on ettiquette, healing, plants, love, lovers, romance, and speach spells. They too went to separate rooms, much to Arnec's dismay, and fell asleep, though Arnec spent a little time on Carthak, chasing women, before he went back and slept.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^@^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mithros wrote a detailed note to explain to the children why they were needed.

"Dear Five,

Five children, five saviors. You were supposed to be born to Mother Flame, but Uusoae twisted the time line and you were born to separate families. You all are brother and sisters, because of your lack in this world history changed. Thom was never supposed to die, Alanna wasn't supposed to go to the palace to become a knight, Thayet was never Jonathan's soulmate and never supposed to be queen. The Sweating Sickness came too early, Roger came too early, he was supposed to come during Thom's time as a squire. Lianne wasn't supposed die that early, King Roald dies in a riding accident before Lianne. Thayet was supposed to go with Alanna to defeat the Ysandir, a battle in which she dies but defeats them all the same, Alanna and Jon didn't sleep together or have feelings for each other, Thor doesn't die, George and Alanna didn't get married. Many things that were supposed to happen didn't, because of lacking you five in this world. So when you died, just before the last of your life drifted away we finished you with the Sword of Immortals to make sure you would be born here.

Remember us when we leave, right these wrongs and the others that come your way. Because you were born to Mother Flame you will know when something wrong will happen in the future, and how to right it.

Father to One,

Mithros"

He made a small fief with twenty rooms and placed beds of varying sizes in each. A kitchen, a males bathing room, as well as a females. A huge library that is three stories high. Over half of it filled with books on all types of magic, then the rest of the space had fighting techniques, weapons, the regular studies, maps, every single book writen, except for romance and things to do with love. He placed the onyx in one room and slept in another.

A.N: Yeah, yeah, I threw most of Tamora Pierce's ideas out the window. It was sooooo much fun too!
