Chaos: A nice change from KH dontcha think?
Rue: Yeah right, we've been planning to write this since elementary school/
Chaos: But only started this year. sigh Don't you guys know that I ALWAYS procrastinate?
Rue: I know oh so well...
Chaos anyways... Disclaimer: No we don't own Legend of Mana or any of the characters. The only thing we own on the characters are the Female main's name and the appearances of the spirits we use. Plus the personalities of the spirits we use in this...
Rue: Here are the other changes. She changed some of the spirits names to their original names. Here they are. Jinn is changed to Sylphid, Wisp to Lumina, Aura to Luna, Salamander to Salamando. I think that's it...
------------------------------------------------
"Memories..." Said a girl with crystal blue eyes. She had long dark brown hair that went passed her waist and wore a white strapless dress that stopped above her knees. She had armlets that fit tightly where detached sleeves would rest. She wore black fingerless gloves though, a tribute to the one she loved as she always said. Her name was Lumina, the spirit of light, and the leader of the other spirits. She had a pretty face that looked no more than eleven, and though eyes are supposed to be the doorway to the soul, here eyes were full of mystery. Lumina was walking through Domina at night and watched a young couple go by, the woman holding a strong baby boy, the man was holding a weak baby girl. Both children had green eyes and golden hair. "How easily that will change as the years go by..."
"We're being called." Came the voice of an older boy. His face looked fourteen and he had ruby red eyes that always had a cold expression. He wore what a prince would wear, only it was black and red, only those two colors. Lumina smiled at the boy, he had a handsome face for what looked like a fourteen year old. "Lumina..."
"I am aware, we ARE connected you know." She ruffled his silky, yet spiky, black hair. It annoyed him that she did that, but they were always arguing. She seemed different today, he spotted the couple that she was following to the fountain. "They can't see us Shade..."
"I know that." He said darkly, she seemed to be ignoring the fact they were being called by the goddess. She was also defying the spirit of darkness. He looked at her, unable to stay mad at her, she would always get her way. "Let's go."
"..." She smiled again and took his hand, disappearing together. They were going to the Mana Tree to see the goddess. They re-appeared inside of a strange, yet beautiful place, somewhere inside the Mana Tree. "Mana Goddess, you called us...correct?"
"Correct." Said the voice of an elegant woman. They were staring at a ball of white light in the middle of the area they were in. This was how they contacted the goddess, through this ball of light. Others soon appeared, a girl with forest green hair and emerald eyes appeared she wore a tight brown dress that looked like it wrapped around her. She was the spirit of life Dryad (Her hair and dress are like the real spirit) and she sat on a root that pulled up high enough to sit on. After her was a boy wearing red clothes that were tattered like flames and had red and gold flames, spiked to look like fire. He had fire red eyes, this was the spirit of fire, Salamando. Another came at the same time as Salamando, a boy with sky blue hair. He had sky blue eyes and wore baggy blue and yellow clothing and matching blue hat with a yellow puff ball... ((The kind Sylphid always wears.)) Sylphid, spirit of wind.
"Where are the others?" Dryad asked shyly. She was always that way unless Gnome was around...which he wasn't. Suddenly a short boy wearing green clothing and dirty blond hair, almost brown. He had light brown eyes and wore gnomish clothing, in a cute way. This was Gnome spirit of Earth, finally he was here. Lumina assigned as Dryad smiled sweetly at the boy.
"Luna and Undine..." Was all he said. Lumina looked confused for a moment before a blue light appeared before her.
"Undine! Wait!" Lumina shouted, a mermaid appeared in the air, right in front of Lumina. She caught the mysterious girl and fell backwards with a loud 'THUMP.' A girl with ocean, dark blue wavy hair looked apologetically at Lumina, who was at some extent forced to catch her. She wore an aqua top that looked like a bikini top and a flowy tattered skirt. She had ocean blue eyes that matched her hair and a blue tail that suddenly turned into legs.
"I'm sorry Lumina." She apologized and got up. Lumina groaned and rolled in place to push herself up, only to gaze into ruby red eyes. She had fallen on top of Shade when she caught Undine, the spirit of water.
"Do you mind?" He asked coldly. He looked into her crystal blue eyes with a concentrated look, as if he wanted to actually know something.
"Guys, as much as we'd LOVE to see you guys make out, and I am DEAD serious about that comment, we have an important meeting." Said an unfamiliar voice. It belonged to a girl with light brown hair that reached her shoulders and was currently held in a ponytail and seemed to be curled with curlers. She had curious golden eyes and wore a golden spaghetti strap dress that flowed and dragged across the floor in a goddess-like manner. Lumina sighed, it was the spirit she was closest to in relation. Her younger cousin Luna, spirit of the moon and suspected to be connected to the goddess.
"We're not making out!" Lumina and Shade both shouted while jumping up.
"Uh-huh." Luna nodded, looking and sounding unconvinced. "Anyway, if we were all called, this is really important."
"..." Lumina looked at the light in the center. "Mana Goddess, we're all here. Pray tell us why you have called us all here."
"I have called all of you..." the light started. It seemed slightly worried. "For the reason of the war, as you all know, my power is weakening. I do not know how much longer I can sustain the tree, or even flourish this world with life."
"!" All of them looked shocked, except Lumina. She was looking at the light, her concentrated eyes unfazed by the murmurs of the other spirits.
"That is why I ask for a vessel..." The light said sadly. Luna gasped at those words. "I know what you are all thinking, and I do remember what happened lat time. But I also know a way to fix our mistake."
"I understand." Lumina said. All of them looked at her, she made all the decisions in their group. "We accept with honor."
"Lumina!" Luna said in a shocked voice.
"I don't care Luna." Lumina said. "She asked for a vessel, and she'll have it. Mana Goddess, tell us what we must do for the vessel to be. "((Chaos: We're using 'be' in the sense 'To exist.'))
"Thank you Lumina." The light said. "First, we need memories and feelings of others. Lumina, I believe you know what I speak of."
"I do." Lumina said, Shade was the only one looking at her now. The other spirits decided to listen to what their master had to say, but he had something else in mind.
"Lumina, are you insane?" He whispered to her. "This could destroy you, like it almost did last time."
"And your point is?" She didn't bother to glare at him, she just kept her eyes on the light. "If I'm destroyed, I could easily be replaced."
"So I am assigning you to different people to collect memories, not take, but collect." The Mana Goddess said. "And you must not make contact with anyone but them until Lumina allows you to. Meaning you can't make contact with the one you are assigned to as well."
"I understand." Lumina said, ignoring Shade's expression. He looked shocked that she was agreeing to this. "We will leave immediately."
"Tell them the rest." The light then disappeared. All of them stood in the moon lit garden-like place.
"Luna, you must find a Dragoon named Larc." Lumina said, turning to her younger cousin. Luna's jaw dropped, but she stomped away and then transported herself. "Salamando, you are to go to a sprite named 'Chumpy', I will be in direct contact with you."
"Done deal." Salamando disappeared in a blast of flames.
"Undine, you must meet a Jumi by the name of Pearl." Lumina said. Undine nodded and disappeared in bubbles. "Dryad, you go to a dragoon named Sierra."
"Yes ma'am." Dryad nodded shyly. A bunch of vines surrounded her and went back to the ground, she had disappeared.
"Sylphid, you go to a young mage named Lisa." Sylphid nodded and transported himself in a gust of wind. "Gnome, you will go to a tiny sorcerer named Bud."
"Yes Lumina." He gave a slight bow and a piece of earth rose up to cover him and sank back into the ground, taking him with it.
"Shade, spirit of darkness." She started, now that rest were gone. He looked at coldly, he didn't want to do this. "I am assigning you to a Jumi by the name of Elazul, you must collect emotions and memories from him. Do not make direct contact with him until I tell you to. We must not interfere with their lives."
"Lumina, you know how I feel about this!" He exclaimed. Lumina kept her emotionless expression. "Lumina I-"
"I don't care." Lumina cut him off, she looked away from him. "We have to do this for the good of Fa'Diel, not for our own selfish reasons."
"Fine, I will take your orders Lumina, but remember what I said that night when we all met." Shade said, disappearing in a ball of darkness. She looked up sadly, and turned around.
"I do remember Shade, but unfortunately I can't accept it." Lumina said. "Lina...that is the one I am assigned to, Lina the sprite."
----------------------------------------
Years later...
A girl with long golden hair, that has sticks in it, and emerald green eyes, she had a pretty face and looked no older than fifteen was standing in the kitchen of a small house. The warm smell of cinnamon filled the room from the steaming pan on the stove. On the table was a flower pot, holding a cactus with a cute face and arms. She was making what resembled pancakes and flipped them every now and then.
"Master Chumpy is awfully late." The cactus said, the girl giggled.
"Five...four...three..." She flipped the contents of the pan again. "Two...one..."
'THUMP!' The girl smirked as she heard someone from the floor above fall. "LINA!"
"You up yet Chumpy!" She called upstairs. A boy with equally gold hair and the same emerald eyes came down the stairs. He had a red bandana and wore odd clothes like hers.
"Lina, why didn't you wake me up!" He snapped, sitting at the table. The girl who apparently was named Lina put the pancake thing on a plate and handed it to him with a fork and knife.
"Because you looked so cute and peaceful." She said in a fake innocent voice. Chumpy was Lina's older twin brother, he used to be much stronger than her until they turned six. When they were six, their whole life was turned around. Lina had finally been allowed to learn to fight and to do heavy duty work, but shortly after their parents traveled somewhere and disappeared...forever. They were orphaned, Chumpy couldn't handle it, and he didn't know how to take care of himself. Lina became strong, handled her pain, and took care of her older twin for ten years. Now they were sixteen, she looked fifteen, Chumpy looked his age. "C'mon eat your breakfast."
"What did you put in it?" Chumpy asked looking suspiciously at his food.
"Nothing." Lina answered, acting offended.
"What did you put in it?"
"Nothing."
"What did you put in it?"
"Nothing."
"What did you put in it?"
"Nothing."
"What did you put in it?"
"Quit asking and just eat it Chumpy." Lina said punching him on the top of the head. He took a bite of his food. "Laxatives."
"What!" He jumped up and ran out the door. She laughed and he finally came back in with a dirty look on his face. "We don't have any…"
"I know, but you ALWAYS suspect that I put something in your food." Lina crossed her arms. "I already ate anyway, so hurry up."
"Fine." He said eating the food with the same dirty look, not because he hated the food but because of the trick Lina played on him. Lina took the cactus back upstairs.
"C'mon Lil'Cactus, time to go back to our room." Lina said as she walked up the staircase. When she came back down, holding something in her hands. "Lookit what the Sproutling outside gave me."
"What is it?" Chumpy asked, placing his dish in the sink.
"They're color blocks, he told me if I use my imagination it'll turn into something." Lina said showing him the color blocks. "Let's go find out!"
"W-wait, Lina!" Chumpy was dragged out by his younger sister. She pulled him out the door and ran to leave their property. She waved goodbye to the green creature which apparently was a 'Sproutling' and left.
