Chapter 3
Once inside the library the girls could see huge rows of books stacked up high to the roof. Ewan lead them into a small room at the back of the library. Inside the room was a rectangular glass cabinet in the middle of the room. Concealed in the cabinet were five eggs, each with a different colour and symbol.
"What are they?" asked Neraka with a puzzled look on her face.
"They are your destiny eggs" replied Ewan, "Inside each one is a magical creature which, when needed, will offer assistance and extra power to you.
"But we haven't got our powers yet," explained Siera.
"That's because the eggs haven't hatched yet." Replied Ewan, "when they do however, you will receive your powers immediately. One egg has already begun to hatch so one of you may have witnessed an unexplainable act in the earth world."
Kiara, Siera and Jaelie all turned immediately turned to look at Neraka, who began to blush slightly.
"What do the symbols on the egg mean?" asked Neraka quickly trying to change the subject.
"Each symbol describes what kind of power you have" began Ewan, "each one is different but all equally as strong."
"When will they hatch?" Jaelie asked shyly.
Ewan smiled and said; "when you focus your energy on the correct egg, the will hatch. The cracked egg obviously belongs to Neraka so she can collect her egg first."
Neraka carefully approached the cabinet and slowly pulled the cracked egg from its silk covered pillow. At first nothing happened but then the egg began to hatch, a red smoke engulfed Neraka and made it impossible to see her through it. Suddenly the smoke lifted and there stood Neraka with a completely different image.
Her hair now had red streaks through it and her normal school clothes had changed into a hot red and orange outfit suitable for fighting. Next to her floated a little red fire ball with big black eyes and a tiny mouth opened into a huge grin.
"Hi, I'm Ember" said the fireball in a squeaky voice.
"Oh my gosh! It's so cute!" shrieked Kiara.
"Yo Neraka, nice outfit!" exclaimed Siera
"Thanks, I feel so different, in a good way though" replied Neraka.
"Right Kiara you next" suggested Ewan.
"Oh hell no! Step aside Kiara I am so next" stated Siera as she pushed past Kiara to get to the cabinet. She was known for getting her own way.
The blue egg immediately began to glow; Siera however ignored it and went straight for the pink egg.
"Pretty egg, Pretty face, this must be my egg" boasted Siera. Kiara and Jaelie both looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
"I doubt that's your egg" exclaimed Ewan, "it's not glowing, try the blue one."
At that moment the egg realized it wasn't in the hands of its rightful owner and began to burn hot in Siera's hands. Siera quickly dropped the egg back into the cabinet and said……
"I liked the blue one better anyway"
Siera carefully picked up the glowing blue egg and focused all her energy on it. The egg began to hatch and a gust of icy wind rapped around Siera. The wind died down and there stood Siera in a blue fighting outfit much like Neraka's, her hair was filled with hot blue streaks and her finger nails were now hot blue.
Siera's creature was much different to Neraka's. Siera's was a transparent blue, tiny dragon-like creature with big golden eyes that you couldn't help but stare into.
"I knew you would come for me princess Siera, I am your loyal servant Misty" said the small creature, but before it could continue talking, Neraka's creature ember began to attack Misty with its fire breath.
"Ember what are you doing!" shouted Neraka "Stop it!"
Ewan used his magic to place a force field between the two fighting creatures. Misty quickly flew over to Siera and huddled up to her neck.
"Neraka you better learn to control that menace!" snapped Siera angrily.
"As interesting as this all is" interrupted Kiara, "some of us don't have our powers yet."
"Your right" said Ewan, "Go and get the egg you think is yours, you to Jaelie."
Kiara and Jaelie both approached the cabinet picking up the green and pink egg which they assumed was theirs. A storm of green leaves erupted from the green egg surrounding Kiara, while a blinding white light shot from the pink egg and surrounded Jaelie. Before they knew it, they were standing in the same fighting outfit that Neraka and Siera wore. Kiara's outfit was green and yellow with bright green streaks through her hair, Jaelie on the other hand wore a pink and silver outfit with hot pink streaks through her hair.
Kiara's creature was what looked like a floating, green fuzz ball; it had brown, beady eyes with two sterling, white buck teeth.
"Hello princess Kiara, my name is Stem and I am at your service.
"It looks like a walking shag carpet" stirred Siera
"Oi shut up! It's cute as!" replied Kiara angrily.
"Wow look at Jaelie's creature!" interrupted Neraka
Fluttering above Jaelie's head was a tiny white horse like animal with shimmering white wings.
"My name is Pegasus, it is an honor to finally meet you princess Jaelie"
At that moment Mevrick appeared out of nowhere and stood behind the glass cabinet were the eggs had been.
"Hi girls, I just teleported here to make sure everything was going alright"
Siera bent down to examine the last egg that still lay on its silk cushion.
"Hey Mevo, who's this last egg for?" asked Siera
"That egg belongs to your fifth and final sister" replied Mevrick
