Trudging through the forest to get to a legendary pond proved to be more difficult than the mini mob had thought.
The four girls had only ever been to Serendipity Pond twice before, the first time was on the day they were born and the second was when they had snuck off from school together on their 13th birthday.
"Oh… my… god…. Why are we going to this stupid pond anyway?" Miriam grunted irritably from the middle of the group. She yelped in surprise as she felt her body jerk forward. Falling flat of her butt she realized she hadn't seen a huge root that was poking out of the ground behind her.
"It was your idea you blue-haired-brainiac. Your stupid, ill-thought idea." Dentelle snapped angrily from the end of the line. Pulling a twig out from her hair she growled in frustration. Blinded by anger she didn't even see Miriam sprawled out across the path, looking for a way to get back up on her feet. With a plop, Dentelle took a face dive into the mud.
Using her fore arms she pushed herself out of the mud and sat down on Miriam's legs. "Niiiiice…." She moaned sarcastically, using her hand to squeegee the mud off her face. Ozuma laughed as he walked around them, continuing down the path, pulling leaves out of his hair.
"Comon slackers!!" Liia yelled impatiently from the front of the line, to the annoyance of pretty much everyone.
"Shut it Liia!" Joseph called out, giving Dentelle a hand up. Unfortunately he just wasn't strong enough, and was a little too short. But he did succeed in falling down beside her. Dunga just rolled his eyes and reached out to help the girls up.
"Ok then, I withdraw my offer of going to the stupid pond. I want to go home!" Miriam whined, grabbing Dunga's outstretched hand. Peering at her butt she discovered that there were two blobs of mud that looked suspiciously like eyes staring back at her. "Nice, now if you look at my ass," She turned her backside to her brother for emphasis. "It looks back."
Joseph threw his head back and laughed manically, grabbing a tree trunk to hold him up. But with a quick kick in the ass from Dunga he was trying to catch up with the others.
"Comon!" this time Liias voice was accompanied by Claritys as the two girls called, irritated, from 30 feet away.
"Were here so stop complaining." Clarity yelled, pulling a few branched towards her so everyone could see.
On the other side was the most beautiful sight ever. There was a crystal clear waterfall off to the right, which poured noisily down into a small pond that was surrounded by lush grass, and blooming flowers. On the opposite side of the pond the grass gave way to some sand and gravel, which lined the edge of a cliff. Serendipity Pond was apparently located on the edge of a fifty-foot high mountain that had a beautiful view of the village they all lived in. A slight wind drifted in from the sky, blowing the girls hair everywhere. To Miriams delight there was a fire ring directly across the pond from the waterfall, already lit with embers and flickering flames.
"Lets work some magic girls." Liia whispered to the other three as soon as she heard them run up behind her.
The boys slowly walked over to the side of the pond where there were a few logs laying around, perfect for sitting on. This was the first time they had ever been to the sacred pond, and they were completely dumbstruck. They watched in awe as the four girls took their places, subconsciously knowing exactly what to do.
Liia silently kneeled down in one of the patches of flowers by the side of the pond, closing her eyes and taking a deep sniff.
"My god, theses smell beautiful." She whispered to herself, plucking a pretty red one and tucking it behind her ear. She slowly looked up and saw Clarity taking position on the opposite side of the pond.
Clarity knelt down at the edge of the pond, closing her eyes and dipping her hands into the water. It was identical to the temperature of the air, almost feeling as if it wasn't really there. She smiled in spite of herself as her body began to relax.
"This is what I was meant to do." She thought to herself, looking to her friends to see if they had the same reaction. Sure enough, Dentelle was taking in the view from the side of the cliff.
Looking down, she could see the ground, so very far away. Dentelle stood with her feet touching the edge of the cliff, her senses heightened to there fullest. She looked up and closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling of the wind in her hair. Since she was a little kid she had always enjoyed the soothing sensation of the wind. It was something that would never leave her.
Miriam felt the same way about fire. As she stood before the embers of the little fire she smiled contently. Fire had always been her best friend. When she felt alone and abandoned, there was always fire, warming her and keeping her company. She looked up to find the others stealing glances of each other.
"Are we ready?" Miriam asked in a hushed voice, afraid to scare anyone out of their daydreams. They looked over to Miriam, their faces set in determination. It was time for the rhyme they had been taught when they were very young.
"Yes." The other three whispered, closing their eyes and turning their bodies towards their individual elements.
"Together four, shall succeed." Dentelle began the legendary chant, the hair on the back of her neck standing on end. They could feel it in their fingertips. A numbing sensation. The process they were born to perform had begun.
"And those great four, together we be." Miriam continued, now her body feeling the heat of the ancient past. Simultaneously the four girls reached out to their elements. Dentelle raised her hand out into the air, the winds suddenly getting stronger and faster. Her hair whipped around her face and she smiled lightly. Miriam slid her hand into the center of the fire, her ancient powers turning the burning pain into a light, tickling feeling. She bit her lip to keep from grinning too much. Clarity placed the palm of her hand on the still surface of the pond. Her long blonde hair touched the water and a pleasant shiver when down her spine as the water began to churn restlessly. Liia slapped her palms down onto the ground and breathed in the scent of the dirt and moss. She felt her hands begin to vibrate, her hair lifting slightly on her head.
"Mother Nature, hear our plea." Clarity commanded, her silky voice washing over everyone. The mutation began; their eyes reflected their elements. Miriams normally mint green eyes burned bright red and oranges, with a flicker of yellow. Dentelles identical eyes went eerily clear with dancing wisps of silver. Liias turquoise eyes blinked, returning once again to their muddy state. And Claritys beautiful hazel eyes were washed with a clear aquamarine, as waves of white spiraled through them.
The ground shook and shifted. The winds raged and howled. The water rose gracefully into the air. The fire grew brighter and stronger.
It was time.
"And grant us access into thee." Liia shouted with authority, needing to be herd above the noise. The ground shook more violently as she stood and raised a hand into the air. "Ground!" She screamed, the land beneath her feet splitting apart and rising into the air.
"Water!" Clarity screeched, imitating her leader. The water rose in a column into the air, intertwining with the pillar of dirt and moss.
"Fire!" Miriam bellowed, waving an arm into the air, a river of fire flowing up and joining its fellow elements.
"WIND!" Dentelle finished, turning on her heel. The boys gasped as she levitated slightly off the ground, her hair whipping violently around her, and added her power to the others.
"With pure of heart and strength of soul, the elements unite to save us all!" They all yelled together, the words echoing hauntingly.
You could feel the energy in your bones.
The four elements intersected and joined together, rising higher and higher into the sky. The four girls slowly walked towards each other, not taking their eyes off the phenomenon that was taking place above them.
"UNITE!" They roared together, arms rose as they held each other's hands.
With a flash of blinding light the column of dirt, water, fire and air combined into a ball of energy, glowing so brightly that you couldn't look directly at it.
"Three…" Liia counted down under her breath, only loud enough for her fellow girls to hear.
"Two…" Clarity joined, taking a deep breath and squeezing Miriams hand a little harder.
"One." Dentelle and Miriam finished off, bracing for impact.
The four girls were blown off their feet as the ball of raw energy imploded, sending shockwaves in every direction. The trees leaned back against the wind, their trunks squealing in protest. The water splashed everywhere, soaking the boys who lay amazed on the ground. The fire roared angrily into the air. The ground shook so violently that the girls were unable to pull themselves up, so they just lay there immobile.
And then it stopped.
Liia opened one eye and checked to see if it was safe. The water had settled, the fire returned to embers and small flames, the wind died down and the ground stopped moving.
"We have GOT to do that more often!" Clarity declared breathlessly from Liias right.
