Of Both Worlds
Chapter 7 Bickering Guardians
A/N: Ok this chapter is meant for you to get who the guardians are, i felt like i hadn't really told enough about them.
Jack sat in a room filled with arguing guardians. He was at Dimensions palace, a kingdom no one else knew about. The castle itself was set in its own dimension, hence the name. The room itself had marble floors and cushiony chairs. The room was a very serene place, except the fact that bickering tainted the image. There were five other guardians: wind, water, ice (that was jack), fire, Earth, and lightning. However; the issue of the lightning guardian was being heatedly discussed.
"How can we be sure?" Rhapsody (the wind guardian) interjected.
"She's the one, she can control lightning" Jack retorted.
"So the first bimbo you see you assume is "the one"? We're looking for a guardian, not an x-man" Flame, a very opinionated guardian cut in. She glared at Jack from across the room. Jack glared back. She stood straightening the hem of her robe. It was red and fit her tightly and matched her black pants. All of the guardians had different uniforms, but each one had a weapon. Flame's was a bow and arrow.
"She isn't a bimbo; she's very powerful. You're just mad because you didn't get the job" she stared daggers and sat back down pouting.
The wind, water and earth guardian stared hopelessly. If they were the guardians, why couldn't they get along? Jack and Flame continued to bicker:
"Give her a chance!"
"No, what if she turns on us!"
"You're just afraid she'll be better than you"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"STOP IT!" the water guardian cut in. Her name was Charon and she wore regal blue robes. She carried a staff. "We need to discuss this in a civilized manner" The earth guardian joined her.
"I agree" she tapped her scepter on the ground. The bickering guardians stopped. Carme was like the leader of the guardians. She stood up and walked to the center of the floor. She focused intently on Jack and Flame. "Jack, get to know this girl and her friends they could become an alliance. Keep a close watch on her." Jack nodded. Flame fumed but then grinned.
"Carme; just one thing. What about the prophecy?" The rest shuddered. Upon one of the guardians a terrible prophecy was placed. The guardian would betray her people.
"We'll worry about that when the time comes" Carme said sitting back down.
