Welcome to Gaia! ::

prologue--------------

A long time ago, when the world was still young, the human lived close in contact with Mother Crust and all other living creatures, vampires, werewolves, elves, animals and fairies. They lived together in peace, helping each other as the time being.

Out of all living creatures, there were the most humans but humans were also the weakest race, they had nothing but a spirit, they had no particular skill that would enable them to compete against, no human had the beauty or the knowledge of the elves, no human had the strength and power of the vampires and werewolves, comparing to those creatures, human were nothing.

Mother Crust saw what her people were facing and divided her power into nine crystals, and gave those crystals consciousnesses. Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Music, Heart, Dream, Night and Destiny. Since then, human were born with a soul and some power from one or more of the crystals, making them separate individuals each with different talents and skills. Some human even learned how to use magic with the power they were granted by the crystals.

And as days went by, not only human were strongly affected by the crystals, the crystals were changed by the human mind as well. Unlike the crystals themselves, they had no anger, or any emotions, and as days went by, they wondered why human being had owned those feelings.

It started with the crystal of music. When the crystal felt how her power was used, to sing to perform and to entertain people, she wanted the same as well. The crystal created an image with personalities, trying hard to feel emotions out of this creation; she was Malene, the oldest crystal holder.

Then the night crystal, the crystal of destiny, the crystal of wind, fire, water, earth, heart and dream. They did the same, looking for the answers in it. They were the first crystal holders.

None of them ever found what they seek for, yet there was more in the dark that was waiting for a chance to take over.

I got dropped off at the front of the office and in beautiful letters it said


'Diora Collage Office'

I walked in and asked with a little bit of excitement "wheres my room miss lady miss?" I said purposely to annoy her, she groaned and said "wheres your letter" I pulled it out of my pocket and gave it to her the she gave me a map with a red circle around a building which said 'Class C' and so I took my letter and walked out and figured out the map and made my way to my room on the way people started to stare at me so i started to run and when i got to my room I found my suitcases on the bed, I unpacked them and i found a mobile phone with one number on it at that said 'Home' I didn't want to call it at this stage so I went to put my clothes away but as i opened the wardrobe I found 8 white uniforms and I asked myself why dose everyone else have different colored uniforms I shrugged and put my clothes away and put on a uniform and covered my face with my hood that hanged to just above my eyes I found that it was my size and I found that a bit scary so I went out side and sat next to the tree just outside my rooms door and I found people where avoiding me I wondered why while i sat there...

I sighed as I walked into my tiny-a** house. Then, right as I walked in, I was shoved out by my oh-so-loving father, who shoved my favorite messenger bag in my stomach and let a few suitcases fall to my feet. Then, he shoved a letter into my hands and yelled for me to take an airplane to New York, and yelled that the letter would explain it.

I could only mutter the three words, "...What the hell..." before he slammed the door shut in my face. I could also detect the sound of the lock clicking, meaning that he had locked the door.

I sighed yet again, slung my messenger bags strap over my shoulder and grabbed the suitcases, somehow making it to a taxi that my dad had called somewhat gracefully. The taxi man looked at me with pity and shoved my bags into the trunk. I could only hope that they weren't filled with booze. I stepped into the cab and buckled my seatbelt with my signature sigh, and watched the world go passing by out of the window as the taxi man drove me to the airport.

After spending hours on a plane, I stepped out to find a man with a cardboard sign, with my name in bold, 'Akania Waters' (A/N: Ironic, isn't it?). I walked over to the man and said, "Are you going to be driving me to my destination?"

"Yes, now get into the limo." he said in a deep voice.

My eyes lit up. I had never been in a limo. Wow. This must be a fancy-a** school, or something...

I stepped into the limo and looked ooutside the window again, despite the fact i was in a limo for the first time, I paid no attention. The next thing I knew he pulled up to a huge mansion-like boarding school.

I walked up to the woman behind the desk, asked where my room was, but only after showing her my letter. She gave me a map with a room circled in red on it. I somehow figured out the map and walked into the room, noting that sombody had already been there. And that they were very messy. I walked to the armoire that was not ajar and opened it, seeing many white uniforms for females. I quietly asked myself why the had to be white...

However, I slipped into my uniform quickly, lacing up the corset (What the hell?) and slipping on a beautiful, embroidered, frilly skirt and some thigh-highs. I laced up the boots, and put on a cloak, pulling up the hood over my face and hair, and walked out of the room, hungry.

We both sat there, eating in a very uncomfortable silence. But I was hungry, so I just ate, instead of troubling myself with talking...at least when there is food in front of me.

Then, after we were finished eating, we sat in another comfortable silence. Well, this is going nowhere.

So, i voiced my thoughts,"...I wonder why they paired a boy and a girl in the same room...," I said to him, wrinkling my nose,even though he probably couldn't see the little move ment under my hood, "It almost seems a bit scandelous."

I noticed the little movement under her hood as it moved up and down I thought I would break the silence and asked "do you know why we got invited to this school?" she shook her head and I sighed and asked if we wanted to explore the school and she said "after I've finished eating" I only ate a quarter of my meal and I got up and the person that wanted to hurt me before came in and hassled me I ignored him and waited for her to finish at the door and he kept bugging me as she finished I started to walk away from the bully and we started to explore the school as rain clouds began to grow and thunder went off and I walked slowly with her next to me...

"love them they are really fun I usually play in them" I walked over to the oval and sits on it cheerfully "you know you don't have to be here you can go inside she replied "well I can sit here as well" and she sat next to me and the thunder started to roll and I smiled gotta love that sound don't you the a load one went of and she jumped a little "you ok?" i asked kindly "fine" she replied in a sorta embarrassed tone and I laughed and looked up at the sky and watched it...
