SM: Hey…I'm really, really tired right now but I'm still posting this…
Tiffanee: Yeah, poor Rachael! She only has one review…and that one's from me…
SM: *Yawn* I really don't want to introduce the chappy so…*Yawn*
Tiffanee: OK! On to the fourth chapter!

(((Last Time)))
"Now what?" Rachael asked more to herself than her new companions. But the answer was clear. There was one more place to go.
(((Now)))
After grabbing the book Rachael rode off once again, deeper into the forest. After awhile the forest stopped and Rachael was looking at a different estate that was just as big as hers was. In the window there was a 'figure' staring out into space. The figure's head turned and was looking at Rachael for awhile before it reacted. The 'figure' leapt to its feet and dashed somewhere in the house.
There were a few banging noises and some loud curses before the door was kicked open harshly. The figure ran out and skidded to a stop before Rachael.
"You're alive! I knew you weren't dead!" it screamed.
"Whoa! Calm down Tiffanee!" Tiffanee did as she was told and then looked at Rachael quizzically.
"Where have you been?"
"No time to explain now. You always said you wanted to get out of this place and go on an adventure. And with you being my cousin you might be hunted down as well. So we both have to get out of here."
"And go where exactly?"
"Wherever fate takes us." Rachael said with a smirk. "You ready to go?"
"Always." Tiffanee ran into the house and grabbed a navy blue bag. She then ran to the stables and led her horse out. It was white in colour and its eyes were ruby red. The horse was in no doubt just as magnificent as Rachael's. Tiffanee Saddled her horse and mounted ready to go. Just before she left the stable she paused to let her cat on. An elegant white cat with eyes the color of topaz.
Rachael and Tiffanee Rode off back into the forest and kept riding until they had come to the very heart of it.
"So…Where are we going?" Tiffanee asked, "and why do we have our best horses? I mean Rachael you barely ever bring Sapphire (SM: Rachael's horse. He's names for the color of his eyes.) out unless there is something important. And Emerald (SM: Rachael's black cat, again named for her eyes.) is here too!"
"Well at least you're smart enough to follow my lead." Rachael was waiting for something but none but she knew what.
"But why?!?!"
"We're leaving and once we do we can't come back. We're going to our real home, the one from the old prophesy."
"But that's supposed to be on a whole different planet!" Tiffanee was getting really pissed off now. "I now realize that I brought Ruby (The horse) and Topaz (The cat) out here for nothing! You've gone mad!"
As if her anger was the key the heavens opened up and the, oh so familiar pillar of light took them to Gaia one last time.

This is some interesting history to clear up the whole thing.
Long ago there were four clans from Atlantis other than the Draconians. They were the clans of the elements. They lived together and helped each other when hard times came. The clan of fire strongest of all were fighters and protected the others from harm. The clans of earth air only defended them selves and others with their shielding magic. And the water clan were heelers and fighters.
With the destruction of Atlantis they used their gifts to help create the wish of the Draconians. They helped to create Gaia. With the taxing of the elemental powers only the pure blooded survived. Only those of pure fire blood or pure water blood or air or earth were able to survive.
Since then they have strived to keep their blood pure. Hoping that one day their descendents can finally live on the world they worked so hard on to help create. For they were stranded on earth.
Eons pass and the only families that were able to stay pure were that of fire and water. Those of air and earth were disappearing.
The disappearances are increasing and the clans believe they are being hunted. Many of the humans loath them for their gifts and so the humans are hunting them.
One by one the clans fall, and now there are only a few from the fire, water and air. The elders of the water clan find a prophesy saying that only two shall survive being hunted and only three shall live on the world they helped to create.
Only three do survive now, one of water, one of air and one of fire. They have the purest of blood and power greater than that of all of their ancestors combined, but that power is hidden and can only be released when the greatest need arises.

SM: Short again I know but my mother is getting me to clean the house.
Please review! Only Tiffanee has and that doesn't really count! Although I do appreciate it!
The animal companions are going to play a pretty big part so watch out for them!
Bye
