Ok. I think you people have suffered enough. Oh I've put it back in 3rd person. I'm sorry I just can't help it. I'll try not to change it again.
Comet- Yeh! Now it's time to make you suffer for a change.
Put a cork in it. Now with out further ado the next chapter of my fic, Elemental Magic.

PS: I'm apologizing in advanced because I can't do accents. I'm American and that's how I write. K. Now on to the story.
*Elemental Magic*

Once they left the room Sandry brought Evvy to her room. Along the way she was strangely quiet. Sandry though to herself 'I had heard her talking the entire time as I brought Briar and her to the meeting room. Then once there she struck up a conversation with Pasco right away. So why is she so quiet now?' She was a little unnerved by the silent treatment she was giving her so Sandry took a stab at a conversation.
"So have you ever been to a ball before?" Sandry looked at her and noticed her head was down and she wasn't looking anywhere but where her feet were going. "Uh. Hello, Evvy." She looked at me startled.
"I'm sorry were you talking to me milady." She said this in a quiet voice as if she didn't want to startle me.
"Oh you do not need to call me by any titles. Sandry is fine."
"Uh. Yes lady… um I mean Sandry." Sandry giggled at this. By that time they had reached her room. Sandry opened the door for her and gestured that she go in.
She hesitated for a moment then slowly walked in. Sandry could tell when her eyes swept the room taking in everything at once. Sandry calmly walked toward the door on the left then opened it.
Through that door was her assortment of dresses. Sandry then walked all the way to the back where all her old dresses were. Taking her time she carefully selected five dresses and turned toward the door. Peering in was Evvy. Walking out with my arms full of dresses she brought them to my bed and lay them down. She then turned back to Evvy. She had a strange look on her face. It was nervousness, hope, and doubt all in one.
"You don't really have to give up any dresses for me." She said finally finding her voice. "I don't even have to go to the ball."
"Nonsense, of course you have to come to the ball. And do not worry about the dresses. I out grew these several months ago. It should fit perfectly on you once I make some changes." Sandry gave her a smile of encouragement and picked up the top dress. "Here try this on."
"Um… Where should I… Um… You know… change?"
"Oh. You may use that screen in the corner." Sandry indicated the corner in the far right of the room blocked by a screen.
"Briar talks about you a lot." She told her once behind it.
"Really?"
"Yep. He talks about all about Discipline and you, Tris, Daja, and Lark."
"So you know all about us?" Sandry was wondering how much she actually knew about their quartet.
"Well I know as much as Briar told me."
"And that would be what exactly?"
"I know that you are the Great-Niece of his Lord Duke Vedris IV. I know that you were the one who wove your magic together. Pretty much what every one else here knows." At that she came out. The dress that Sandry had given her was light grey with a bluish green tint. It looked absolutely fabulous on her. Standing Sandry smiled and spoke.
"Perfect. I thought that would look good on you." Evvy turned to a mirror and smiled.
"Are you really gonna give this to me?"
"Sure." Sandry shrugged. "It doesn't fit me anymore and it complements your eyes." She went and started adjusting pieces of cloth.
"Whatcha doing." Evvy attempted to look behind as Sandry pulled, tightened, and loosened pieces of the dress.
"I am just adjusting it so it fits better. Then we can work on your hair."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
At the other side of the citadel Lark was attempting to fit Briar into one of the Dukes outfits. "I don't think it's possible." Lake sighed after a few tries of enlarging the outfits. "You are just too tall.
"We'll it's not my fault." Briar said indignantly.
"I know it's not but there is no way I can get the Duke's clothes to fit you."
"Wait a minute. Doesn't Niko leave a few outfits here for when he stays?"
"Of course! Niko always has more clothes than he can carry around with him."
"Yah and I think I'll fit into Niko's clothes a lot easier than the Duke's."
"Yes." Lark said automatically walking out of the room.
"What?"
"It's always yes. Never 'Yah.'" (A/N: Oh Miss Congeniality rocks. Now back to the story.) Briar asked her looking at her strangely. Usually it was Rosethorn's job to correct his grammar so Lark wouldn't bother. Shaking her head he followed Lark.
Once he reached Niko's normal room he walked in. Lark was already there. As soon as Briar entered she held up a light green shirt with a pair of dark brown pants. Giving this to Briar she pushed him into the adjoining room do he could change.
"So Lark is there anything you could tell me about that prophecy about tonight?" Briar called through the door.
"Not really. I was just passing through on my way to the weaving house when Tara Misticeyes started to act really strangely. She looked like she was dead then she got up and walked to the window. Then she turned south and started to speak. She said
Tonight is the night
Tonight they will appear
At the grand ball
To reveal they are here
From across the Pebble sea
From around the hundred isles
The elements come together
To take away our smiles
To challenge the duke
To challenge the four
The one who keeps the cord
Will be no more
Save the weaver
Save out home
Take the four medallions
Place them back in the stone
The circle must not be broken
The circle must survive
Do as I have bidden
Oh, bearer of the knives!
I knew it was talking about the ball tonight so I rushed over here as fast as I could."
"Yes but did you pay any attention to what the rest of it said! They are after Sandry! Who ever is coming they want to break our circle!"
"I know but Sandry would never agree to go into hiding. That's why I suggested you to come to the ball. You two need as much strength as you can get from each other until we can get Daja and Tris."
"I just can't believe it! Why Sandry?" He came out shaking his head.
"It's because you four are the most powerful mages of your age. Your powers rival those who are more than twice your age. It would take most mages their whole lives to accomplish what you four have done in five short years. Actually most mages would never be able to do the things you four have done.
Still all of that goes back to Sandry and your circle. That's where it all started. That's the key to your connection. If something happens to it I don't even want to think what would happen."
"Was there anything else? Did she say who the attackers are? Anything?"
"No, currently Misticeye is in the infirmaries. She collapsed after prophesizing. I will let you know ishe says anything else."
"So something we made to save our lives might destroy it."
"We are not sure exactly what would happen if your cord was destroyed but with you four so close…. I don't even want to think of it. Here." Lark took some thing from a basket at her feet. It was a cloak of about a hundred shades of green with designs of different plants on it. The plants were perfect copies of the real thing. It was absolutely perfect. Briar looked at this and looked up at Lark's face.
"Who?"
"It was Sandry. She told me to give it to you to wear tonight." He flashed a smile at Lark and put the cloak on. The buckle was even in the shape of a briar flower. (A/N: Do briars have flowers? Oh well I'm just guessing that they are like roses.)
"It's perfect. I guess now I have to go give Sandry her gift." Going back into the room where he had changed he grabed the small leather bag near his clothes. Walking out the room he called back to Lark. "Don't worry I won't let anyone hurt Sandry. You can be assured of that."

Comet – Whaaaaat!
Nothing. Any way I have mid-terms coming soon so I'll be attempting to study and I want to update the rest of my fics before I come back to this one. Though I might make an exception if I get lots of good reviews.
