I'm sorry for not updating but my story isn't getting the buzz I'd like anyway I'm going to try for at least one new update every week. :) Also I think I'm going to change the category of this story to the comic section anyway enjoy.
"Wha-what happened?" Nerissa asked. She looked down at her body to find she was back in the scarlet cheongsam she'd worn to the party.
"OK," Cassidy piped up, "I know we're not crazy, I mean I can't speak for Kadma, but I know the rest of us aren't crazy. I know what just happened really happened…Right?"
No one answered. Even Kadma ignored the dig.
Finally Yan-Lin spoke up; "Okay we all know what happened, but nobody else realizes anything and we should just keep it that way."
"Linny's right," Nerissa seconded, "let's just act natural and enjoy the party." She sighed as she observed the happy faces in the crowd. "If we can."
The next day
Halinor couldn't even begin to process what the elderly shopkeeper Nerissa had dragged them to had told the girls.
Heart of Kandrakar?, five elements?, Oracle?, fighting evil? What?
On the one hand it made sense.
It was a crazy explanation to an even crazier series of events.
But on the other hand it all just sounded too much like something Halinor used to read about in storybooks and those things weren't real…At least that's what Halinor always thought.
She walked down the puddle lined streets not even caring that the bottoms of her denim jeans were now wet from the rain. She was determined to continue her trek home and not look back.
"Keep going Halinor keep going." She whispered to herself.
"You're fine," She whispered, "You are fine! Not crazy, you're fine." She reiterated.
Halinor turned around and headed back to Yari's shop.
Halinor gingerly entered the quaint shop it was now dark and quiet its patrons had gone home for the day.
"Ma'am?" Halinor called out.
The older guardian emerged from behind the counter.
"I knew you'd come back young one. Come let's talk."
Minutes later Halinor was drinking a mug of the most delicious elixir she'd ever tasted. Not that'd she'd had many elixirs, but whatever it was soothed her frazzled nerves.
"Do you need to call your mother and tell her you'll be a little late getting home?" Yari asked.
Halinor shook her head.
Yari gave her an almost scolding look, but left the notion alone.
"You and your friend Kadma will have a hard time accepting your powers at first, but they'll bring you closer together which you'll need to get through the trouble ahead."
"But I don't wanna have to go through any hard times." Halinor whined.
Yari seared the tow head with her brown eyes.
"There'll always be hard times powers or no," Yari explained, "Yours will just be different. Your highs will be higher than other girls and your lows lower most."
Halinor's brown eyes filled with an unreadable emotion. Yari only wished there was something more she could say to comfort the younger inexperienced guardian but she could only tell her the truth. There was no sugar coating the fate of a guardian.
"Now please go home before your parents get worried." Yari bid the young girl goodbye before disappearing into the back. Leaving Halinor feeling even more unresolved than before.
Sorry for the short chap
