Chapter 1

Chapter 1 birth

The guards walked from one end of the hall to the other listening for intruders. 

“Ok run we run in three two one.”  The king and queen ran across the hall and quickly picked the lock on the door and shut it silently. None of the guards had noticed them. 

“She is not meant to have this power,” said the king. He stared at the eight stones shining on the altar. Then one by one he started to put them in a bag.

“Hurry we don’t have much time,” the queen whispered.  There was a noise at the door and they quickly turned around leaving two stones on the altar. Soldiers rushed in first and faced   their spears at the lovers, the evil queen behind them.  Realizing they were trapped the king looked at a nearby window and said “I'd go through hell before I'm captured by likes you," Then he  grabbed the  queen  and  shoved  her  and  himself out the  window  landing  into a river. They swam to safety and back to their own kingdom. With the rest of the stones they expanded their kingdom, but they never saw the evil queen ever again.

 

After much thought the king realized that the stones were vulnerable and could be taken again. Faced with this problem he summoned an oracle named Aldrik to the castle to seek a solution to this problem. The oracle had been among the king and queen's kingdom ever since it had begun and knew that this was a very vital situation. He told the king that the only way the stones would be safe is if they were united with a soul of youth.  The king and queen were too old to be united with the stones and again they were faced with a problem.

 Then the queen said “We will have six,” She almost said it as if she was asking a question.

“Six what my love?” the king turned towards her.

“Children,” She whispered. After she said that the oracle smiled and left the castle.  Have been given the precious idea the king and queen had six children in six years. The first was Bedros and he was given the stone of Rock, then Carissa with plants, Andreas had fire, Nora united with lightning, Cathy was blessed with air, and little blue Zale was given water. These six children grew up knowing their responsibilities and held the stones inside them and this is where the story begins.

“Carissa! Give me it back!” cried Zale. Carissa was ten now and poor Zale was only four.  She had taken Zale’s toy and was running all over the castle from room to room.  Finally Zale jumped on Carissa and she fell to the ground and the toy slipped right out of her hand and across the floor. She quickly got up and grabbed the toy but at the same time so did Zale. They  looked eye to eye then Zale made  his sea  face and  scared  Carissa  and she  let go  of the  toy and ran  off.  Zale stood up and held his toy high like a trophy and started to play with it down the hall.

On the other side of the castle were Andreas, Bedros, and Cathy playing tag. Bedros was it and had found Andreas.  Bedros chased Andreas into the dining hall and  was about  to tag him  until  Andreas ran around the  corner and Bedros  turned that  corner  and  instead of Andreas he saw mother  with an  irritated  look on her  face.  “Bedros didn’t I tell you not to play in the dining room,” She looked down at him and he put his head down embarrassed. “Bedros you are 11 years old it’s time you stop playing these childish games,” 

“Yes mother,” Bedros bowed and walked away.  As he walked away  Cathy ran up to Bedros and  taunted  him to catch  her but Bedros  walked  past  her  ignoring  the  urge to run  after her. After  Bedros  past  her Cathy  became  confused and then  looked  at  mother  and  even at  her young  age she understood  what happened. Then Nora appeared and asked Cathy to play with her. Cathy looked at her mother and she gave Cathy a nod and a slight smile that it was ok.

            Later that day all the children were called to the throne room were their mother and father was waiting.  When they arrived   there was what looked like two eggs. One was bright white and the other was pink with an orange bud on the top of it. “My children I present you with these gifts. For my  sons I give you a pure dragon from the forest and  for my  daughters I  give  you  a  precious gem from the water”  the king  said. Everyone  was so excited except  Cathy and Zale  because  they  didn’t  even  know what  an  egg was. Then the king walked to the pink egg and the queen walked over to the white egg. Then they spoke in a  language  that the children didn’t understand and the dragon unwrapped its self  from the white egg and ran  to the boys and the water lily came out of  its egg  and  ran  to  the  girls.

The  pure  dragon  was  completely  white  except  for  its  eyes and webbing  on  the  wings  that were green; the water  lily had a magenta skin color on its  snake  body  and  orange  and pink  flower petals  for its tail and arms. The dragon ran and jumped onto Zale licking his face while Bedros and Andreas pet it. The water lily cuddled with all the girls and especially liked Carissa. They all laughed as they played with their new pets.

The Years past and the six grew up  learning more about the  stones and their power and  about themselves, but as time pasted so did the king’s and queen’s life.  They died together from a sickness called memorysest. Memorysest caused  a  person to forget  and  the longer  they had it the farther back  they couldn’t  remember until they  couldn’t even  remember  they could  breath.  It was a very solemn time for the kingdom and Bedros was only 16, the oldest. When they read  the will of the  king  and queen they discovered  that  they had  written to  split  the kingdom  into  six  kingdoms,  one  for each  of  them.  It also said that they didn’t care how old the children were that they could rule. This came to be a shock to them.

“Bedros I don’t know if I can rule, it’s…. a lot,” Cathy said with tears of fear in her eyes. 

“You’ll be ok. Mother and father trusted you so they must have known that you were always ready,”  Bedros  put his  arm  over  her should  and  lead her along with  the  others  outside to  tell  the kingdom  what had  to be  done. The kingdom didn’t like this new idea but they had the soldiers. After three years everyone got use to the new kingdoms.

I like your idea. It's different than anything I've read before. You could have put a little more detail in describing the events as they unfolded, but it was still easy to follow. It's sparked my interest, and would like to see where you take this. Great job. :)

Great first write if I do say do myself :) (and by the way please don't guilt people into reviewing "be a kind person and review" if you do that it negates the whole idea of people commending your work because they like it and they see the brilliance behind it)
