It was a days trip to get to Naršakhī the girls were sitting in the back of the wagon this time it didn't have hay in it so they had more room. When they arrived at Naršakhī the sun was setting. Naršakhī wasn't a town or village it was ruins.
"This is the entrance to Kandrakar are you serious" Cornelia said as they got their rucksacks and got out of the wagon and started to walk into the ruins.
"Yes once long ago when Naršakhī wasn't just ruins it was the entrance to Kandrakar and everyone could see the doorway through into Kandrakar but long ago the oracle decided that only people from Avarzāna and Vardanzeh would be worthy enough to see the doorway because humans were just to greedy but time past and things changed and Naršakhī crumbled to the ground and it was said that the only ones worthy enough to be able to see the doorway would be the 6 Guardians... This is where I leave you girls I hope I see you again soon" Finn said
"Wait your leaving?" Elyonasked spinning around so she was looking up at her uncle.
"Yes but we will see each other again and when that time comes you will all be ready" Finn said giving each of the girls a hug. Finn wasn't only Elyons Uncle he was like a Uncle to all of the girls he had all ways been there when they needed him in the past but this time he couldn't be there for them this time they had to face their problems on their own.
"Its not goodbye" Will smiled "Its simple a see you later"
"I hope so" Finn said as they walked him back to the wagon
"I know so" Will said as he waved and then started to ride away they watched until they couldn't see him anymore.
"Come on lets find this doorway" Irma said turning around and walking into the ruins again. The sun had completely went down and the moon had come up, in the dark the place looked cold and dead. Bits of the walls that were left standing were crumbling and falling off. The only things that were still standing and looked stable were the six tall pillars that made a cirlce around the ruins.
"This place is a maze how are we ment to find this doorway... how do we even know what its meant to look like" Taranee said
"I'm guessing it should be somewhere in the middle" Will said as she walked ahead a little from the group.
"And to think the last thing we remember is that we were just normal 17 year old girls with normal lives and now we are walking through ruins looking for a doorway into a place called Kandrakar how F'd up are our lives" Cornelia said
"Don't worry I thought the same thing when I ran away from Drúadan I was like and to think only this morning I was a good little princess that did what she was told and didn't have a mind of her own" Will laughed "To me this is probably the most normal thing that has happened to me"
"Then your life is really F'd up" Irma said
"I know but its better than just being like everyone else" Will said
"I agree" Hay Lin said "Whats the point of being like everyone else when you can be like us"
"Umm guys I think this might be the middle" Elyon said as they walked into a clearing in the middle of the clearing was a circular altar.
"I think your right" Will said walking up to the altar and walking around it tracing the edge with her fingers.
"What are these symbols?" Will said it wasn't really a question directed to anyone but just thinking out loud.
"I know what these are my Gran told me once" Hay Lin said as she joined Will at the altars edge.
"There the symbols of the Guardians... but I don't know which one is which" Hay Lin said
"Will what do you think I mean your the keeper of the heart and the leader so..." Taranee asked as all the girls came over to the edge of the altar. They all looked at Will for an answer but she was silent she was just staring at the altar.
"Will... earth to Will" Cornelia said waving hand in front of her face. Will's head snapped up and Cornelia quickly pulled her hand away and they all tooka step back. Will's eyes weren't their usual hazel gold colour they were hot pink and glowing. She raised her hand and with her index finger she started to point to each symbol and said a word.
"Earth" Cornelia slowly went and stood so the symbol of earth was in front of her it then started to glow green and her eyes turned from their normal colour to green and started to glow.
"Water" Irma did the same as Cornelia and stood in front of her symbol and then just like Cornelia her eyes changed colour to blue and started to glow
"Fire" Taranee's eyes turned red and started to glow
"Air" Hay Lin's eyes turned a grey/white colour and started to glow
"Light" Elyon's eyes started to glow a very light purple colour and started to glow
"And Heart" Will said her own element and stood in front of the last symbol now all the symbols were glowing the same colour as the colour of the girls eyes that was in front of it.
"Open" They all said at once and then the pillars that were surrounding the ruins that were directly behind each of the girls started to glow the girls colour. And then a beam of coloured light shot from the top of the pillars. The girls eyes went back to normal but the symbols were still glowing and were now swirling around it was like the glow was being sucked into the center of the altar creating something. Then there was an explosion of lights that was so bright it lit up the whole night sky. When the lights cleared a new symbol was in the middle of the altar. It was the same symbol that was on Will arm and it was glowing a rainbow colour.
"Will what just happened?" Taranee asked
"Yea Will that was really weird" Irma said
"I think we just opened the portal to Kandrakar" Will said slowly
"Then where is it?" Cornelia asked
"There" Will said pointing to the new symbol on the altar
"Should we touch it?" Elyon asked
"Well its worth a try" Will said "Together... 1... 2... 3... NOW" Will said and they all throw their right hands into the rainbow light. It was then that everything seemed to stand still as the girls started to be pulled into the light.
When the girls opened their eyes they weren't in the ruins anymore they were standing in a white room that looked like everything was made out of crystal or ice the whole place sparkled.
"Welcome girls" A voice said from behind them. They all quickly turned around to come face to face with a man wearing a white robe he was bald and had a tattoo of the same symbol as Will had on her arm on the side of his head.
"Who are you?" Will said stepping forward
"I am the Oracle" The man said "And it is a honor to finally meet you all"
"Is this Kandrakar?" Will asked
"Yes this is... please follow me" The Oracle said and turned and started to walk away the girls looked at each other and shrugged and ran after him
"I am pleased that you were able to open the portal to get here it proves that your powers are developing fast" The Oracle said as he walked towards two huge double doors they swung open as he came close to them
"Oracle I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions one in particular" Will said as they entered the room
"Yes you may" The Oracle said as he walked towards a circular platform in the middle of the room that was surrounded by water he continued to walk and then stepped onto the water but didn't fall through he just continued to walk and then when he stepped onto the platform he turned and sat down facing the girls
"Please sit" The Oracle said raising a hand and what looked like 6 huge water drops raised out of the water each drop was a different colour and had a symbol in it. The girls sat in front of their symbols.
"Now you had a question Will" The Oracle said
"Yes... Well I was just wondering Finn told me that the keeper of the heart of Kandrakar was the princess of Avarzāna... does that mean what I think it means" Will asked
"Yes Will you are the princess of Avarzāna, keeper of the heart of Kandrakar with the power of the heart and the power of Quintessence. Your parents sent you away just like Finn would of told you. You were sent to live with the king and queen of Drúadan they were put under a spell so they thought you were their real daughter. The reason you were sent there was so you would learn how to be royalty and learn how to rule" The Oracle said
"Oh" Will said finally realising how much her life was a lie.
"Is there anything else you wanted to know" The Oracle asked. Will looked at the girls and then back at the Oracle
"Yes we were wondering why we are here Finn said something about to learn how to use our powers" Will said
"Yes here you will learn how to use and control your powers you will also learn secrets about Avarzāna things that you will need to know if you are going save it" The Oracle said
"Shall we begin?" He asked witha small smile
--------Time skip--------
Because time did not exist in Kandrakarthe girls didn't know exactly how long they had been there all they knew was it felt like a very long time. The training sessions that they had undergone were brutal there was no room for mistakes or failure it was get it right the first time or else. It was a routine that they did everyday. Wake up, get dressed, eat, train, study, train, eat, train, study, eat, sleep and repeat it was something that the girls were now used to so used to that it was like they had been doing this routine their whole lives. The girls were not only just pushed to their limits but they were pushed over their limits to the point that they passed out from it. But they would not complain not once. Will had pushed past limits that the other girls hadn't even come close to. She barely slept she was always the first one awake and the last one to go to bed. She trained 10 times harder than anyone else for one reason. Ever since she found out that her birth parents had died because she was born she wanted to destroy that man that had killed them make him suffer so much he would be begging for death. The girls had become closer they were now closer than sisters could be.
"Will maybe you should slow down a bit" Taraneesaid as she destroyed target after target with a blast of hot pink magic leaving no evidence that there had ever been a target there.
"Yea Will you have reached a level that we could only dream of" Elyon said putting a hand on Will's shoulder
"Will the Oracle said we would be going back to earth soon you should get some rest you don't look that well" Elyon said Will sighed and turned to face her
"Your right" Will said "Thanks"
"Come on lets all go have a rest and then we will go and see the Oracle" Hay Lin said she was sitting cross legged but not on the ground she was hovering around 3 meters off the ground.
When Will woke up she felt better than she had in a long time she slipped out of her single bed that was White just like everything else. Her bed was in a line with 5 others for the girls. She looked over to the beds but the girls weren't there. Just then the door opened.
"Oh Will your awake" Irma said "The Oracle wants to see us he says its time"
"Ok" Will said grabbing her rucksack at the end of the bed and following Irma out the door.
When they entered the same room they were in the first day they got their the Oracle was sitting on the same platform and the other girls were sitting in the same places with their rucksacks next to them. Irma and Will took their places and waited for the Oracle to speak.
"You have learnt everything that the council members and I can teach you... You have come far and you are stronger than I could of ever hopped you would be but now it is time that you return to Vardanzeh to say your goodbyes and go to Avarzāna" The Oracle said "Good luck girls" He then raised his hand and white light started to swirl around the girls
"Wait" Will called but before she even finished the word she realised she was standing on the same road that she had been on when she first came to Vardanzeh.
"Great now what" Irma said
"We go home" Will sighed as they started to walk towards the village in the distance
"Is this what our lives are going to be like from now on because for the past god knows how many days our lives have just been weird I would of never imagined that this is what our destinies are" Cornelia said
"Yes this right now is the most normal we are getting so savor it while you can" Will said
"Our lives are never going to be the same again are they?" Taranee asked
"No" Will said as they got to the edge of the village. They started to walk down the streets towards the village square it was midday so that's where most everyone would be.
"I have missed this place and I don't even know how long we were gone for" Elyon said
"And to think we are just here for probably a few hours a day at the most and then we will be leaving again" Hay Lin said
They got to the town square and just like they had though basically everyone from the village was there. Will watched at the girls one by one ran away from the group over to their families. Elyon ran to Weira, Finn and Sean. Cornelia ran to her parents and little sister. Taranee ran to her parents, Peter and Nigel after hugging Peter he went to Cornelia. Irma ran to her parents, little brother and Joel and Hay Lin ran to her parents, Grandmother and Eric. Will stood there watching she had never had anything like that never had a family that truly loved her and cared for her and when she found out about her birth parents she learnt they were dead and that meant she was never going to get a family that would love her.
Will started to walk past the happy families as she past each girl they all noticed the sadness in her eyes and frowned she had no one even though how much the girls were closer than sister they still could never fill what was now missing in her life. Will walked past everyone she could hear her name being called by allot of people, people patted her on the back and cheered. But she just kept walking towards the portal in the rock at the other side of the village square.
"Will we said goodbye we are ready to go whenever you are" Cornelia said kneeling down next to her.
"Yea Will you don't have to wait any longer you can go home now" Hay Lin said
"Are you sure you dont want to stay a little longer its ok if you want to" Will said as she and Cornelia stood up
"No Will no more waiting its time" Elyon said
"Ok" Will said and looked around for Weira
"Will" Weira said walking over "You will need this" She handed her a small gold ball
"Its the missing puzzle piece" Weira said Will tuned and looked at the mirror and then noticed that the symbol of the heart that was engraved in the rock had a small hole in it where the crystal was meant to be. Will took the golden ball and placed it in the hole and then the mirror started to glow and the glass started to crack and shatter. When all the glass had fallen to the ground what was left was what looked like some sort of liquid.
"Shall we" Irma said
"Lets go" Will said. As she dived through the portal she felt weird and different like something was happening to her. When they all landed on the other side the portal was closing. Will looked around at the girls and gasped. The all looked down at what they were wearing and were stunned.
"Wow" Cornelia gasped.
They were all in their Guardian forms.
Willwas wearing purple boots that had a slight heal they came up to just below her knees, she had blue and green stripped tights on and a short mini skirt the same blue as on the tights at the top of the skirt two bits came up and curved around so her belly button was in the middle, she had purple shirt on that finished just under her breasts the top was cut like a boob tube and came up into a sleeve on the left arm the sleeve flared out right down to the bottom of her hand and had a slit up it. The right arm didnthave a sleeve so you could see her birth mark. Coming out of her back were wings they were a blue/green colour and had a black outline. (You know what Will Guardian outfit looks like I just had to change the top slightly because of her birth mark)
Irma was wearing purple boots like Will's but they only came up past her ankles, she had tights on that were blue and green stripped on and a purple skirt that was slightly longer than Will's and had small slits up either side, her shirt was the same blue as on the tights it was long sleeved (tight) and the top had the same curvy bit at the bottom of the shirt like Will had on her skirt the top finished just a little bit below her breasts. Coming out of her back were wings they were a blue/green colour and had a black outline. (You know what Irma's Guardian outfit looks like)
Taranee was wearing purple boots just like Irma's a tights that were blue and Green stripped, she had blue short shorts on and a purple sleeveless shirt on that came down just below her breasts, she had two blue wrist bands on as well. Coming out of her back were wings they were a blue/green colour and had a black outline.(You know what Taranees's Guardian outfit looks like)
Cornelia was wearing purple boots just like Will's the same length as well she had blue and green stripped tights on and had a purple long skirt that came down to her ankles and had a slit up the right side so you could see her boots and tights at the top of the skirt just like Will's but only one bit curved around her belly button, she had a blue long sleeve shirt on that was cut into a boob tube just like Will's except with both sleeves. Coming out of her back were wings they were a blue/green colour and had a black outline. (You know what Cornelia's Guardian outfit looks like)
Hay Linwas wearing purple boots like Irma's and Taranee's but shorter, she had blue and green stripped socks that came up to her knees, she had a purple skirt on that came down just past her knees and it had slits up each side so you could see her thighs around the top of the skirt there was a string rapped around, she had a blue shirt on that finished just below her breasts her shirt was low cut and the sleeve's were very short and curved around at the ends. Coming out of her back were wings they were a blue/green colour and had a black outline. (You know what Hay Lin's Guardian outfit looks like)
Elyonwas wearing purple boots just like Irma's and Taranee's and had blue and green stripped tights on, she had a blue skirt on that came down to her ankles and had a slit up the front so you could see her boots and tights, she had a purple shirt on that was sleeveless and finished just under her breasts, starting just above her elbow was tight purple sleeves that finished at her wrists. Coming out of her back were wings they were a blue/green colour and had a black outline. (Ok so I had to make up this outfit its the best I could think of at the present time so yea lol)
"Well this is different" Irma said looking down at her outfit
"Are these wings" Hay Lin said pulling at them "OMG they are like stuck"
"Try flying" Will said Hay Lin started to flap her wings and in seconds she was off the ground
"This is so much better than just levitating... Try it" Hay Lin called down to them they all started to flap their wings having a little difficulty at first but then got used to it.
"Your right this is great" Irma said doing a front flip in the air.
"Come on guys I hate to be a spoil sport but if we fly then we are going to draw way to much unwanted attention to ourselves come on the Oracle told use we have to find the rebels" Will said landing back on the ground. they all landed next to her
Will looked around for the first time and took in their surroundings. They were standing in a meadow and he just realised how dark the sky was everything looked dead and you could see a tall palace over the trees near the meadow the palace looked dark and scary the highest towers seemed to be surrounded by black clouds or smoke.
"This place is creepy" Hay Lin said
"Yea... umm Will you know how you said if we fly we are going to draw way to much unwanted attention to ourselves well these outfits aren't exactly making us blend in" Elyon said
"Well if I knew how to I would turn us back but the Oracle seemed to have left the transforming bit out in our training" Will said
"Well until we figure out how to change back into our human forms could you like conjure up some cloaks or something?" Cornelia asked
"Umm well I guess I could try" Will said
"Heart" Will said closing her hand and opening it again to reveal the heart of Kandrakar "We need cloaks"
In a flash of pink light the girls were all wearing dark brown cloaks that hit the ground and had hoods.
"Thanks Heart" Will whispered closing her hand and then reopening it to find nothing there.
"Lets go" Cornelia said as they all pulled their hoods on and started to run through the meadow towards the wooden gate surrounding it they jumped the gate and continued to run until they were hidden by the darkness of the tree tops.
"So how are we meant to find these Rebels?" Taranee asked
"Truthfully I have no idea" Will said
"Great" Irma sighed
"Come on we are sure to find them sooner or later" Will said as they started to walk through the forest that screamed evil from its very soul.
They walked through the forest until they came to what looked like a swamp surrounding it were large cliff's
"If you think I am going in that icky stuff you have another thing coming" Cornelia said pointing to the slimy green stuff.
"Yea ok I'm not exactly thrilled about going in there either so if we are fast we can fly but only if we are fast encase someone comes" Will said
"Ok as fast as you can go" Will said and they all started to fly towards the cliff face on the opposite sides. they all grabbed onto the rocks and just hung there.
"Ok no more flying we climb ok" Will said as she started to climb
"Will what happens if we can't find the Rebels?" Hay Lin asked as Will pulled herself up onto the top of the cliff
"I don't think that's going to be a problem" Will said slowly as the others pulled themselves up and gasped at what they was. Standing there was boy he looked around 18 years old he was tall and very built he had light brown longish hair that was falling in his face. He was wearing black boots that came about 3 inch's above his ankles. He had dark brown baggy cargo pants on that were tucked into his boots. He had a tight sleeveless shirt on that was black and he had a black cloak on that had a hood but it wasn't over his head he had green eyes and on the side of his face near his mouth there were two small green triangles and two more these ones were longer up about a inch under his eyes they looked like tattoos. He had a sword and it was pointing at Will's throat. But if you forgot about the bit where he had Will at sword point he was HOT.
"Who are you and what do you want" The boy said in a cold voice.
"Take that sword away from Will's throat before we make you" Irma spat as they all pulled off their hoods.
"We aren't here to hurt you we are just looking for the Rebels" Elyon said but that obviously wasn't a good thing to say because he moved the sword closer so the sharp tip of it touched Will's throat and a tiny slit came and blood came out will gasped at how much just a little slit hurt.
"What do you want with the Rebels" The boy said
"Are you one of them" Hay Lin asked
"I am the Rebel leader and I demand you tell me what your business here is no one knows this location" The boy said
"Your the Rebel leader you are probably only a year older than us" Cornelia said
"Do not make me spill her blood anymore than I all ready have" The Rebel leader said
"If you really are the Rebel leader than I think it is ok for us to tell you who we are... We are the Guardians of Kandrakar and we have come to help" Will said his sword tip moved slightly back and looked at her.
"Girls take off your cloaks" Will said they opened their cloaks and threw them over their shoulders so he could see their outfits.
"Do you believe us now?" Irma said The boy removed the sword completely and slung it over his back into its case.
"I guess the names Caleb" The boy said holding out a hand to Will which she took and he pulled her up
"Sorry about your neck" Caleb said
"Its ok" Will said as Cornelia walked over and placed a glowing green hand on the cut and healed it.
"There" Cornelia said
"Thanks" Will said as the others stood up "Im Will"
"Cornelia"
"Irma"
"Hay Lin"
"Taranee"
"Elyon"
"I never thought I would live to see the day when the Guardians of Kandrakar would show their faces" Caleb said in a slight cold voice
"Whats that meant to mean" Will asked pulling her hand away from his when she heard the tone of his voice
"I mean for the past 17 years our world has been a living nightmare" Caleb said
"Listen ok we only just found out about being Guardians around three months ago don't blame us ok we were in the dark about who we really were" Will snapped
"I understand but I doubt if many others will don't expect to be welcomed with open arms" Caleb said
"So who is who" Caleb changed the subject quickly
"I'm the Guardian of Earth" Cornelia said
"Guardian of Water" Irma said
"Guardian of Fire" Taranee said
"Guardian of Air" Hay Lin said
"Guardian of Light" Elyon said
"And I'm the Keeper of the Heart of Kandrakar I hold the power of the heart and Quintessance" Will said and when she said this Caleb looked at her funny
"Princess I'm guessing" Caleb said and Will nodded "Well you may be the Princess of this world but don't expect me to start bowing to you or calling you your Majesty or anything like that" Caleb said
"I don't want you to" Will said looking at him curiously she had never had someone speak those words to her before it was allways the same when someone found out she was a princess even if it was of a different world this time but it was all ways the same they would bow and fawn over her like she was made out of glass.
"Good" Caleb said "Come on we need to leave now" he then turned and pulled his hood on and started to run down the steep hill the girls ran after him puling their cloaks back on as they went.
YAY done so what do you think ??
