End Recap ~
-----------------
Vardanzeh was a small village. The only ones that knew its location were the ones who lived there. Vardanzeh can't be located on any map and no one has ever found it, its the one place where people say magical things happen. The myth of Vardanzeh actually existing has been around for hundreds and hundreds of years.
Rain lashed at the glass windows of a house as a group of five 17 year old girls sat around a coffee table.
"I hope Uncle Finn gets back soon" A girl with Blondie/light brown hair in two long plats and bits falling out around her face and at the back sighed as she looked out the window and watched the rain drops slide down the glass.
"Don't worry Elyon I'm sure he will be back soon" A girl with long Blondie hair said as she lent on the coffee table and sipped her tea.
"But it hasn't stopped raining all day what if he gets into trouble Cornelia?" The girl called Elyon asked the girl sitting next to her who's name was Cornelia
"Elyon Finn will be fine it isn't like this is the first time he has left the forest he knows all about the outside world hes the smartest old man I have ever met" A girl with chocolate brown hair that came just up to her shoulders said as she took a bite of her cookie
"Your right Irma I'm being stupid" Elyon said to the girl called Irma
"So when are we going to go on our next trip?" A girl with long black hair in two piggy tails asked bopping up and down.
"Lets go when Finn gets back that way Elyon wont be worried the full trip" A girl with very short dark hair that had a dark blue ting to it and a braid hanging down the right side of her hair.
"Hay Lin stop boobing up and down all ready" Cornelia sighed looking at the girl with two piggy tails.
"Hehe sorry" Hay Lin said while giggling
"Sounds like a good idea Taranee" Irma said to the girl with the braid.
"But we cant go until my bithday is over ok" Elyon smiled.
"Ok" Taranee nodded.
"I cant wait until the boys get back" Cornelia sighed taking anither sip of her tea.
"More like you cant wait until Peter gets back" Irma whispered
"I HEARD THAT" Cornelia shouted
"Oh come on Corny you know you love him. Whenever your are around him you are more of a cluts than Hay Lin" Irma pointed out
"OH WHATEVER... thats it I'm leaving" Cornelia snapped standing up and grabbing her bag.
"Yea I better be going as well mum's probably wondering where I am" Elyon said standing up and grabbed her bag as well joining Cornelia at the door. Shortly after Taranee followed and then Irma.
"See you guys tomorrow then?" Hay Lin asked as they all walked out of the living room and to the front door.
"Yea Hay Lin normal time normal meeting place k" Irma said giving the girl a hug
"Say thanx to your Gran for us" Taranee said as the four other girls ran out into the rain and off towards their homes. While Hay Lin waved goodbye and then close the door.
-----------------
Will and Finn had been travailing for the full day. In that short amount of time Will had learnt alot about the out side world that she could never learn from a book. Will was now sitting up the front with Finn now that they were out of Drúadan.
"So Finn where is this Vardanzeh place anyway?, I have never heard of the place before" Will asked as she crawled over the front edge of the wagon and stretched out in the hay looking up at the blue sky.
"Well Will I will tell you but you have to promise not to tell anyone" Finn said turning his head to look at her and she saw that he was serious
"Ok Finn I promise, after all who would I tell?" Will smiled
"Well before I can tell you where Vardanzehis I may as well tel you the whole story it will help you understand better in the end anyway" Finn said turning back to face the dirt road.
"Ok" Will said putting her hands behind her head to get more comfy
"Ok well Vardanzeh is a myth no one knows if it is a real place or not, but I tell you know it is. Vardanzeh is a place that is hidden away from the rest of the world because we live different lives than those of the world your leaving behind. Will do you believe in magic? Because if you don't than you are going to very soon. You see Vardanzeh is the entrance to an alternate world, it is a world of magic. The worlds name is Avarzāna. But 17 years ago something terrible happened a darkness started to consume the world of Avarzāna it wanted the power of the heart. You see there is a place that watches over Avarzāna it is called Kandrakarit is a place where time does not exist. 17 years ago when all this started it was because the princess of Avarzāna was born, she was born withthe birth mark of Kandrakar. This meant that she was to be the new keeper of the heart of Kandrakar her and 5 other girls were chosen to save the world of Avarzāna and bring piece back to the land these 6 girls were known as the Guardians. Each of the 6 girls would hold a power, a element. The princess, the keeper of the heart would hold the power of Quintessence and the power of the heart. And the other 5 girls would hold the powers over Water, Fire, Earth, Air and Light. But the 6 new Guardians were only babies and were no where near old enough to fight to save their world so the darkness continued to consume the land and the King and Queen of Avarzāna had to make the hardest decision of their lives. They bothmadetheultimate sacrifice. Death. They held the darkness off for long enough for a very powerful wizard to cast a spell on the princess to send her to a family that would treat her right and keep her safe the spell made the family think that the princess was their own daughter. Withher new family she would be raise and taughtwhatsheneeded to know for when the day came that she would have to return to Avarzāna and with her fellow Guardians save their world. Because the six girls had a very strong connection because of their powers it wasn't only the princess who was made safe. The spell made sure that the Guardians powers would be hidden within them until they all turned 17 years old and then after they all turned 17 their powers would be unlocked. But so far there has been no sign of the Guardians and the world of Avarzāna is still in darkness being ruled by a very evil man called Kazuya. Now to answer you question, Vardanzehis located in the center of a magical forest, the forest and Vardanzeh is invisible to any mortals eyes only those who live in Vardanzeh and Avarzāna can see it that is why it has never been found" Finn finished his story and then the wagon halted to a stop.
Finn turned his head to look at Will she was now sitting upright looking at him shocked.
"Is... is this all true?" Will asked with hopeful eyes. This was what she had been hoping for her whole life a place that was different to the world that she had been stuck in for 17 years.
"Yes Will I swear to you that it is all true" Finn said and then he saw the huge smile that started to seep its way onto her face
"From this moment on I love my life" Will sighed falling back and laying in the hay. Finn just laughed at her.
"So how much longer until we get there?" Will asked sitting up again and looking around to notice that it was getting dark and was surprised that how fast the day had gone. To think that only this morning she was wearing a dress and her hair was long. Only this morning she had been a princess and now she was free.
"Well I think we should camp here for tonight and continue tomorrow is we get a early start than we should be there by midday" Finn said while he climbed down off the wagon and pulled a large bag out from the front of the hay that Will hadn't even noticed had been there.
"Sounds good" Will said as Finn helped her out of the wagon. Will took in her surroundings and noticed that they were about a mile away from the dirt road and they were in a small grassy area.
"I'm guessing that you have never camped under the stars before" Finn said as they walked a few meters away from the wagon and he started to pull blankets out of the bag he had.
"No" Will sighed looking up at the sky that was now getting very dark and suddenly stars started to appear in the sky.
"Well there is a first for everything right" Finn said as he started t collect stray pieces of wood that were laying in the grass
"Exactly" Will said as she started to help him collect wood.
The night went on and Will learnt how to light a fire and how to find water (Like a stream). She all so learnt a great deal more about the world of Avarzāna and the village of Vardanzeh. She couldn't get enough information about it all. Enough was never enough when it came to these to places. There was always something else to learnt about and some other thing that she would need to know if she was going to live in Vardanzeh. And Will loved every second of it.
-----------------
The sun shone bright as the group of 5 girls gathered at the village square like they did every morning.
"So what do you want to do today" Taranee asked as they walked over to the water fountain that was in the dead centre of the square.
"I have no idea" Irma said as she climbed onto the edge of the fountain and bent down to look into the crystal clear water.
"Well Uncle Finn should be getting back around noon today and the boys should be getting back just before then" Elyon said as she sat down onto the edge of the fountain
"Really how do you know?" Cornelia asked probably speaking more about when did Caleb get back than caring about anyone else
"I asked mum... Being mayor of the town does have its perks you know" Elyon giggled. Elyon's mother was the mayor of Vardanzeh. She held the key that unlocked the portal to the world of Avarzāna.
Suddenly Hay Lin tripped on nothing at all and went stumbling forward and bumped into Irma who then fell into the fountain.
"Oh no you didn't" Irma gasped as she resurfaced from the water
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to I...WOW" Hay Lin tried to explain but a second later Irma grabbed her hand and pulled causing her to fall into the water with a splash.
"WATER FIGHT" Elyon yelled jumping into the fountain on her own free will and then the water fight started
----------------
A group f 18 year old boys were walking through the forest.
"How much further?" A boy with longish brown hair said jumping over a fallen down tree.
"Around an hour and a half Nigel" A boy with short black hair said looking over at Nigel and then back towards the track that they were following.
"Eric you have to be kidding me" Nigel sighed
"So Pete you happy about getting back to Cornelia" A boy with short blonde hair said walking up to Peter a boy with dreadlocks and looking at him with dreamy eyes and then burst out laughing.
"Shut up for the last time I dont like her Sean" Peter said blushing
"Then why are you blushing dude" A boy with blonde spiky blonde hair said
"I am not shut it Joel" Peter said as he startd to walk fatser
"Oh come on Peter its obviouse you two like each other just ask her out" Sean said
"If you think its so easy why dont you give it a try" Peter snapped
"Thats easy because I have me Elyon" Sean said in a mater of fact tone
----------------
"So Will you excited?" Finn asked they had been traveling all morning Will was once again laying in the wagon in the hay looking up at the blue sky pointing out what each cloud looked like.
"Yea I sure am" Will said and then she went silent something that she hadn't done for the full trip.
"Whats wrong Will" Finn asked as he looked around to see her sit up and have a sad look on her face.
"What if... What if no one in Vardanzeh likes me" Will whispered just loud enough for Finn to hear
"Will don't think like that" Finn said "They are all going to love you" He encouraged turning back to the road
"Are you sure?" Will asked still not sure that she would fit in where she was going
"Will I am positive that you are going to make more friends that you can poke a stick at they are all going to love you don't forget that" Finn said
"Thanks Finn" Will sighed laying back down
The minuets ticked by and soon the sun was high in the sky
"So Finn you haven't explained why you were in Drúadan in the first place" Will said she was now sitting on the edge of the wagon with her legs hanging over the side.
"I was doing a erond... You see we make trades withbevery Kingdom just to get what we need so we can blend in with the outside world and stuff" Finn said simply shrugging his shoulders
"Oh well I guess that makes sense" Will said suddenly she noticed something in the corner of her eye. She turned her head to come face to face with a huge forest. But it didn't look like other forests this one seemed to have a glow.
"We are here" Finn said "Now you probably can't see the forest but once we enter it you will be able to"
"Umm Finn" Will whispered as they came closer and closer to the forests edge
"Yea" Finn said looking at Will
"What if I can see it" Will said staring at the forest. Finn was silent looking at her dumbfounded
"That's imposablele" Finn whispered but then suddenly realised something and his mouth fell open but he quickly shut it before Will saw. "Umm its probably just because you know all about it and Vardanzeh that is why you can see it, its very common to happen" Finn lied with a fake smile
"Oh ok" Will said believing every word as the wagon slipped into the forest and Will looked back as she watched the world she once knew get smaller and small until all she could see around her were tall trees.
"Will do you sing" Finn asked out of the blue
"Hu... Umm yes actually I do" Will said slightly confused at where this question came from
"Well there is a talent show coming up in Vardanzeh in a few days why don't you enter it" Finn said
"Really" Will said her face lighting up
"Yea all the kids your age go in it" Finn said as the trees around them started to get less and less close together.
"I would love to" Will said bouncing up and down on the edge of the wagon
"Great then why dont you sing a song and show me what you got" Finn said
"Ok" Will said climbing back up into the hay and then standing up so her feet were just covered by the hay. She then started to sing and dance.
"In a moment, everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute, all the world can wait
Let go of your yesterday
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing
And take control?
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Cause it's your time
Time to fly
All your worries, leave them somewhere else
Find a dream you can follow
Reach for something, when there's nothing left
And the world's feeling hollow
Can you hear it calling?
Can you feel it in your soul?
Can you trust this longing
And take control?
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Cause it's your time
Time to fly
And when you're down and feel alone
Just wanna run away
Trust yourself and don't give up
You know you better than anyone else
In a moment, everything can change
Feel the wind on your shoulder
For a minute, all the world can wait
Let go of yesterday
Fly
Open up the part of you that wants to hide away
You can shine
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Fly
Forget about the reasons why you can't in life
And start to try
Cause it's your time
Time to fly
In a moment, everything can change"
Will finished her song and started to giggle
"Will that was amazing MORE" Finn yelled and this made Will giggle even more. She jumped out of the wagon and started to walk in front of it seeing as they were going slow now.
"Ok one more" Will said and she started to sing again
----------------
The boys were finally nearly back to Vardanzeh they cold see it coming into view up ahead.
"Come on man we have a greeting party" Peter said pointing towards the village at the end of the road where 5 girls were running from.
"GUYS" Elyon yelled waving her hands in the air.
"Hey" Sean said as Elyon jumped into his arms and the other girls came running up to the group.
"Hey big bro" Taraneesaid as Peter gave her a huge hug swinging her around.
"Missed ya little sis" Peter said as he put her down
"Hey Nigel" Taranee said going over to him giving his a kiss on the cheak "Missed you"
"Me too" Nigel said
Suddenly they heard someone calling out to them they turned back towards the way the boys had just came from and saw Finn but someone was with him a girl who was sitting on the edge of the wagon with her legs hanging over the edge.
"UNCLE FINN" Elyon screamed running away from the group and towards them. The others followed her. Finn had stopped and was climbing off the front of the wagon and down to the ground just as Elyon jumped into his arms.
"Everyone I would like you to meet Willow Heart better known as Will" Finn said as Will jumped from the wagon and landed gracfully on the ground.
"Will these are the people I was telling you about" Finn said "This is Elyon my granddaughter, Cornelia, Hay Lin, Irma, Taranee, Nigel, Eric, Peter, Joel and Sean"
"Hey" Will smiled she finally felt like she was in the right place
"Hi nice to meet you" Elyon said
"Will is from the outside world I don't want any of you to ask her questions about her life that she doesn't want to answer. If she wants to tell you then she will but otherwise wait until she is ready to tell you on her own. Got it" Finn said in a serious tone.
"No Finn its ok from what you have told me they are good people and if I want to make friends than I dont want any secrets this is my new start remember" Will said
"Ok Will if your sure" Finn said
"My name isnt actually Willow Herat its Wilhelmina Vandom I come from a kindgom called Drúadan and I'm a princess... Well actually a runaway princess I hated my life and my parents were going to make me marry so guy so I ran away I meet up with Finn and he helped me out and brought me here... But I just want you all to know I'm not a princess anymore because once I climbed that wall that had been keeping me inside the palace walls for 17 years of my life I was finally free" Will said
"Wait so are you saying this is like the first time you have ever been outside the palace walls" Irma asked and Will nodded
"Holly shit" Irma gasped
"Will I dont know you but from what you just said its obviouse that you are going to fit in perfectly here and just so you know to us you will always be Willow Heart better known as Will" Cornelia said
"Told you that they all made friends fast" Finn laughed
"Hey Will we are having a sleep over tonight do you want to come" Taranee asked
"Yea that would be awesome" Will said
"Come on we have to show you the whole village and you have to meet everyone" Elyon said grabbing her hand as the girls ran off towards town.
"WILL YOU ARE STAYING WITH ME OK" Finn called after he holding up her rucksack
"OK" Will called back over her shoulder
---------------
Will had seen the whole village and meet alot of people. It was like her and the girls had been friends since birth they didnt even talk about her being an ex-princess they just talked about what normal 17 year olds talked about (Except Elyon is 16 for now)
"Dad a word please" A women with sandy blonde/light brown hair up in a elegant bun said.
"What is it Weira" Finn asked his daughter
"Dad who is this red head girl that came back with you?" Weira asked. Weira is Elyon's mother and the mayor of the village (Didn't know her real name sorry)
"" Weira stood there in shock
"Thats not possable" Weira said very slowly
"It is because she saw the forest before we even entered it" Finn said
"But that means she is" Weira gasped
"Yes I hope that is right" Finn said as they looked over at the group of giggling and laughing girls and boy with Will in the middle of it all.
Ok so I realy didnt change all that much but I just cut Caleb out of it, it might now be as good as the first 2nd chap i wrote but with the future chaps I have allready written in the new rewriten story I think it is much better so yea.
