A prophecy begun

Many years ago, before the time of the Great Dashi, there were 6 warriors; all masters in their own unique elements, brought together by fate - thus the first Xiaolin Dragons were born.

First there was Ren the Xiaolin dragon of water, she, like her element, was tranquil and peaceful, however just like the ocean, she could become just the opposite when everyone least suspected. She had long shimmering blue hair that matched her sapphire eyes perfectly and often dressed in long flowing dresses as if she were underwater. That's where she spent most of her time, in water, singing sweetly as if she were talking to the sea creatures around her. Oh how Loki loved that voice. Loki, the dragon of dark, often found him self isolated from the other dragons, he felt intimidated by them because he was different. Not Ren though, he felt that she was the only person who truly liked him for him, that made him feel confident and worth living. Loki had dark short hair, piercing cruel, yellow eyes and was quite small. True he was handsome, yet he lacked the confidence and his distinguishing features made people feel wary of him, making him feel alone. Even his sister feared him! Aura was totally opposite of her brother, her bright personality shone into others lives. Being the Dragon of light she almost looked as if she were an angel, perfect angelic blond curls tumbled past her shoulders and light always surrounding her. She was always confident, always cheerful. Everybody liked her. Especially one. Phoenix had been dating Aura for 3 years now and was ready to take the next step; he wanted to propose to her, yet he could not find the courage. Truth be told, to him she was perfect and his worst fear was losing her. Phoenix unlike his fellow Dragons didn't look like his element - fire. He had long black hair with green streaks in, that was cut just under his shoulders. He had olive coloured skin and wore pale blue clothing most of the time. He also had soft amber coloured eyes. He was tall, very muscular and very handsome. Most girls fancied him and he could any one he wanted, yet he only had eyes for Aura. Also unlike his element he was very calm and gentle and would never hurt a soul. Avani was just like that too, she would never hurt anything. She embraced the nature around her and was into meditating a lot. When asked why she meditated so often she would merely say she was talking the trees around her. Being the dragon of earth she could talk to the nature around her, making her very wise. She just sat there for hours on end, listening while the wind playfully tugged at her long brown hair. Enlil loved doing that, manipulating the wind to play with Avani's hair. In fact he just loved playing pranks on people, he always had a cheeky smile and his mischievous laughter would be carried with the wind. He didn't have long hair, but it wasn't short either; it would simply dance around as the wind was always blowing through it. He often played pranks on Aura and Phoenix when they were together, they didn't mind though as he was Phoenix's best friend. Enlil knew of Phoenix's secret to want to marry Aura, but he also had his own secret, he loved Ren. He was always embarrassed when ever he saw her. She loved him too; she loved his smile, his laughter. The way he would play with her hair and how he was always nervous around her. He was so sweet and often made her laugh. Loki saw this and was extremely jealous, his anger would rise and he wanted to lash out at Enlil. It was only Ren's sweet voice that calmed him down.

Since before they could remember there had been a prophecy, this however had been lost in time and had been forgotten by all save for Loki. Love is a strong emotion, it can destroy what faith you have, and tear you up inside. To some this emotion will be their downfall as they can not grasp what it truly means; however it will be the saviour of all mankind from a great evil. Confused what it meant, Loki ignored it.

Everything was going smoothly between the dragons until a new evil arose – Kiara. From there it all went down hill, Ren became ill and while Avani had gone to find a cure, war broke out between Loki and Enlil.

"Why should you be the one to stand guard of her, your powers are never used for any ones safety, only for your stupid silly pranks!" Loki roared at Enlil. Shocked by Loki's outburst, Enlil is lost for words, making Loki even angrier.

"You don't care! No one cares!" Loki almost sobbed; calming himself down, Loki picked Ren up bridal style and attempted to walk off with her.

"What the hell are you doing, she'll die!" Enlil suddenly found the words to say, attempting to grab her off Loki. Loki saw this coming and kicked him hard; Enlil was on the floor, face bleeding from the blow.

"I've had enough of your idiotic behaviour…… goodbye Enlil." Loki summoned all his power and threw it in Enlil's direction. Horrified at his friend at being hurt, Phoenix jumped in front of the beam of darkness and disappeared.

"What did you do!" screamed Aura, as she just witnessed her boyfriend's death, she leaped into action and started attacking him furiously. Loki merely blocked each movement and trapped her into a sphere of darkness,

"Sister, I do not wish to hurt you, I did not mean to kill Phoenix, it was meant for him!" Loki yelled shooting a beam of darkness where Enlil had been, but he had gone, instead he hit Ren. Realising what he had done Loki fled to the mountains, leaving Aura alone grieving for all those lost. When Avani returned it was too late for Ren, as the beam had been fatal. Avani found Aura sobbing in a corner.

"What happened? Where are Enlil, Phoenix and Loki?" Avani asked confused, starting to panic.

"Gone…" was all Aura managed to utter.

"What do you mean gone!?" Avani gasped.

"Loki… killed… Phoenix… he didn't mean to… he meant to kill Enlil, but … (Aura gulped) …Phoenix tried to save him" Aura stuttered before breaking down into more tears.

Avani's pov

How could this have happened! I mean all I did was leave them for an hour or two and it resulted in two deaths and two members of our group missing! How could Loki kill them? I know he didn't really fit in but I would never have expected him to murder! Poor Aura, she must be devastated, her boyfriend killed in front of her own eyes by her brother. This can not end well.

Normal pov

Avani hugged Aura and tried to calm her down, despite the fact that she herself was overwhelmed too. Aura pushed her away,

"I know your trying to help me, but I need sometime alone… Goodbye Avani." And with that Aura vanished, Avani never saw her again.

Loki sat down at the peak of a mountain, tears running down his face. What had he done! He had killed the one person he cared for, Ren. He didn't care so much for Phoenix, but Ren! Loki started to shake with anger as he remembered Enlil. It wasn't his fault, it was Enlil's! He shouldn't be blamed for murder, Enlil should! Too absorbed in his anger, Loki failed to notice the dark spirit conjuring before him.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Loki …The murderer" cackled Kiara, evilly grinning at Loki's reaction.

"I am not a murderer!" screamed Loki, lashing out at Kiara. Kiara had vanished, then appeared behind him and trapped him with her sorcery.

"My my, what a temper we have." Loki struggled to break free of her grip, but she was too strong. "Don't struggle, it will only make it worse" Kiara hissed "besides you will want to hear my proposition before anything."

"Why would I want to do that" Loki snarled through gritted teeth.

"Hmmm … maybe because it involves you getting your love of your life back" Kiara grinned wickedly.

"I have no idea who you mean."

"Oh, I think you do, blue hair, sapphire eyes, goes by the name Ren…"

"Shut up! She dead! There is nothing you can do about it!"

"Actually that is where you are wrong Loki, I could bring her back, and she would be yours, not Enlil's." Kiara knew he was considering her offer.

"How…" Loki said cautiously.

"It's quite simple really, you give me your soul and you have your dear Ren"

"My soul…"

"Yes, it's not like you need it though… do we have a deal" Loki sat there thinking carefully, should he make a deal? I mean what's the worse that could happen? He would get Ren back. After careful consideration Loki agreed.

"I will pledge my soul to you" Loki whispered.

"To confirm the deal all you have to do is sign here" Kiara said pointing at a piece of paper covered in tiny writing. Loki started to read the contract, only to be interrupted by Kiara.

"I do not have all day, either sign it now…or say goodbye to your sweetheart."

"Ok, ok, I'll sign it" and with that he signed it, Just as he finished lightening cracked above and Kiara screeched evilly.

"Did I mention you are now on the Heylin side and will be turned into a different form" she smiled, fangs showing.

"No!" Loki stood up in anger, ready to strike.

"It says it all in the contract, you should have read it" with that she clicked her fingers and disappeared, her laughter was all that was left. Loki couldn't believe what he had done, he went to put his fingers in his hair when he realised…

"My hair! It's gone" Loki exclaimed, then he saw his hands, only they weren't hands at all, they were like tentacles. Loki started to panic, what had he become?! He went to run towards the lake when he realised, he didn't have any legs! Quickly he hopped towards the lake, and slowly looked at his reflection…

…He was a bean.

A tiny little red bean.

"KIARA!!" Loki shouted – his voice had changed; now it sounded as if he had a Texan accent.

"Yes…" Kiara whispered in his ear.

"What have I become!!!"

"A Bean…" Kiara laughed wickedly "… but it kind of suits you!" she erupted into screeching laughter as she said this.

"What about Ren, you promised I would have her."

"Of course, her she is…" Kiara clicked her fingers and Ren appeared, Loki gazed at her, she was still as beautiful as ever. Kiara saw this and clicked her fingers again, where Ren had been, a bird appeared.

"This will be her new form, like you she will remain in this form until you manage to convert three people to the Heylin side. She will be known as the Ying Yang bird."

"What about me!" Loki exclaimed, "How are people meant to fear me when I'm a bean! It's not exactly threatening"

"True, but I will give you unlimited powers, and a new name that will strike fear into the hearts of those who hear it."

"What's wrong with Loki?"

"It's not exactly scary is it?"

"I suppose not, but what will my new name be?"

"HANNIBAL ROY BEAN"

Sorry it's sooooooooo longwinded, but this is important information people! You need to read this to understand the rest of the story, I'm rubbish at stating stories and I promise it will get better! It will be mainly focused on Chase (as he is my fav!) but that will come in all good time, although you may have noticed something in this chapter! Please review, but be kind, first fanfic!
