Chapter one: A decision has been made

"The Princess of Trust was brought here? How can this be?" Exclaimed a hooded figure as he stood up from his seat. The chamber was nothing more than a mere large platform in the middle of a dark room that had stars twinkling over them, an aura shined brilliantly above them with a full moon glittering like a giant silver ball.

Six figures sat near the middle of the platform.

They sat in thin air, or on chairs that were un-seen. Each one of them wore a cloak with different colored symbols on them; the boy who stood had a brownish green symbol. The group of six looked like wizards, or mages, either way the outfits they wore showed they were a group of great importance.

"Who was reckless enough to bring such a young girl into our tormented worlds of darkness?" Asked the hooded figure standing, his voice young, proving he had was a newly chosen member of this strange group. A female figure, having a blue symbol on her hood, shifted slightly in her seat; propping her elbows onto the un-seen chair arms and pressing her long, slim fingers together.

"Isn't it obvious? The avatar of Ice, Suicen." She said; her voice smooth and claming like the sounds of the ocean water beating against the sands. The other figures looked among each other; expressions would be startled, if anyone could see their faces.

"Preposterous!" Snapped another male, his hood barring a red symbol, his voice deep and knightly, full of pride and honor." Suicen knows the dangers of bringing a human girl to our worlds! She would never go against the council's decision!"

"Our sister is right," Came a monotone female voice. The figures all looked over to see a seventh figure descend out of no where, her hood barring an ice blue symbol. Ice blue draconic wings folded around her as a second cloak." It was I who brought the human to our worlds."

"Ye had better have a good explanation for this, Suicen," Said one of the six, his voice full of elderly wisdom, and his hands resting on his cross-legged lap, he seemed to be the leader. His hood had a green symbol." If not, then ye be a fool to bring a pup to Dravokon without a tale to tell…"

"Allow me to explain, brother…" Suicen began." You see, our worlds are slowly slipping away from us. More and more people have begun turning into Heartless. I could not just stand by and watch the mortals have their lives torn away from them by Rolante-"

"You went against our decision, Suicen," Snapped the younger wizard as he pointed his index finger violently at Suicen." We had decided not to bring the Summoner here at such a young age! She could be killed!" This started the others to speak up; all but the elder and Suicen began shouting and debating the current topic.

"Right the boy is." Said a man with a yellow symbol on his hood, his voice deep and full of furious anger waiting to be unleashed." If the Summoner dies, darkness will be our fate. Lost forever, the worlds are! Gone, gone, GONE!"

"We must not let that happen!"

"Rolante will surely kill the Summoner at that age! She has no power!"

"Weak, she is!"

"Enough!" Shouted the elder, standing from his seat out of impatience for the group to calm themselves." Thou has not yet finished her story—" He then held out his arms to his draconic sister in a warm, friendly matter." Suicen, continue, if you will."

She nodded." I brought her here because if I hadn't done so and waited just as you had asked, then by the time she was allowed to come here, there would be nothing left to save." The room fell silent." I couldn't allow that to happen. No. She may be young, but she is the Summoner, we can train her just as we planned to when she was older. There is no difference in our plans, except her age… My brothers, my sisters… You all know very well how much these world's means to our beloved Altena." She then spread her wings out, lifting her arms up to the night sky that floated above them, as if trying to grab the twinkling stars in her hands." If we let darkness take control, then all that we have planned and worked for will be gone from existence…"

The other six hooded figures looked at each other. The elder fell back into his non-existent chair, setting his elbows onto the arms of the chair and folding his hands together and resting his brown bearded chin against his thumbs. He thought. Suicen brought up a very good point, the worlds were slipping away quicker than they should have. Rolante was eager to take them over quickly. But a girl? A mere human girl, not yet out of her teen years was to save them all? Sure she was allowed to have her guardians follow her, to keep her safe whenever she needed them, but was that even enough? She was only a teenager. And to his knowledge, the teen years of a human meant ignorant, incompetent, non-listening children with no sense of self control. If the girl they had chosen was truly the Summoner, surely then she would be smart and listen to her elders, right? And she was the carrier of the Heart of Trust, one of ten special hearts needed to seal the door leading into the Shadow Worlds. Yes. He remembered that battle well. Two powerful Goddesses fighting for they're own reasons: Rolante, fighting to gain control of the whole universe, and Altena, attempting to save the very worlds she and her other three sisters created. Believe it or not, Rolante was the twin sister of Altena, and the two were always competing for the spotlight, not once thinking of anything else… Until that fateful day, when the youngest Goddess Isabelle sacrificed herself to save the worlds from being completely destroyed. Altena finally understood that the worlds were more important than their stupid competition, and sent Rolante and her forces of darkness to the Shadow Worlds, where today she still dwells with her army: The Heartless.

The pure hearts were children of Altena, and had to give up their lives to seal the door leading into the Shadow Worlds. Then Altena had to give up her Goddess life to hide the door, and she returned to the heavens as an Angel, just like she was before she was gifted with her powers. But not only where the pure hearts the key to sealing the door; they were also the key to re-opening it as well. So, Altena scattered the hearts while hiding the door. The hearts were sent flying across the worlds, slowly finding their way to new born babies and hiding themselves within mortal bodies, completely sealing away their powers, so no one could sense where the hearts were. And peace regained itself, slowly passing on the legend of the Goddess Battle. However, Rolante somehow managed to rip open another gate leading out of the Shadow Worlds into the worlds she once help create. Of course, she cannot leave, since she is doomed to live there until the actual door is opened. But her minions have free passage, since they were not cursed. So they are ordered to go and find the world's core, also know as the Keyhole, and suck out all of its light, causing the planet and all of its people to fall into darkness. With each passing year, the elder and his group choose a Summoner to destroy the darkness and the portal that Rolante had created. All had failed. And finally they chose a girl from Earth, of course, Earth was not in their galaxy, it was far from it. Far for space craft of any sort to travel. Only the avatars had a strong enough power to transport human life from that galaxy to Dravokon. How one of the pure hearts reached that far was beyond the avatars ideals, but they hoped she'd be the one to bring light back into these worlds.

But since the task was dangerous, the Summoners they chose had to be at least an adult to do it, so they could handle themselves and made good choices, better than any teenager could do. They had all agreed not to bring the human girl here, but Suicen disobeyed and took the girl from Earth to the planet known as Tarrion, where she was to begin her lesions as a Summoner when she was an adult. Thus this meeting began, to discus why anyone would disobey the council's decision. And Suicen admit she did the deed and told them why, leaving the elder completely lost in thought.

"Well?" Came the young wizard again." What do we do, Taukra?"

The elder, referred to as Taukra, leaned forward in his seat, clearing his throat and eyeing up at Suicen with disappointment." Sister, ye know the penalty for bringing the Summoner here, do ye not?" He asked, knowing she already knew the answer. She nodded slowly.

"And I am more than willing to give up my seat on the council to once more fight along side the humans as the avatar I once was." She sounded almost too proud; it made the younger wizard snort with anger and to fall back into his seat. The elder leaned back again, drumming his fingers against one another.

"Very well then…" He said." Suicen, ye are no longer permitted to enter the council chambers until thy Summoner has completed her task. If she is to fail ye are banished from our world and forever shamed to live as only a human, powerless and weak. As an avatar, ye are to listen to every word and obey everything thy Summoner says, no matter how awkward it may seem. Ye are also her first teacher until more a suitable one comes along, so do ye best to teach thy Summoner." Suicen nodded in agreement. The elder waved his hand to dismiss the woman." Be gone with ye."

And with that order, Suicen spread out her wings, her body growing in size, bulging, her skin slowly began to be replaced by scales. Until she changed into a massive, magnificent ice blue dragon. She then roared madly at the heavens above, changing into multiple colored spheres and shooting off into the night sky like a meteorite. The other council members watched.

"Believe what she said, you do? Yes, yes? Trust her, you do? You do?" The man with the yellow symbol said, leaning so far out from his seat it almost looked like he was going to fall. The elder nodded slowly, letting a sigh escape his lips.

"Let us hope that she and the Summoner both make it back alive…"
