"Please, I bet we inspired these rides." Emily and Megami burst out laughed, while Cristina nodded, serious. She pulled Micheal onto the ride. "Well I may have to hold your hand you might get scared." She laughed, but Micheal shook his head. "I bet I'll be holding you by the end of this ride. " "Does that sound like a bet?" "I beleive so." Micheal scratched the back of his head, smiling. "WELL BET ACCEPTED!" She pulled him, and they all got onto the rollar coaster. "Believe it!"
The rollar coaster seemed fine at first, Emily looked at the carts, and tried to figure out mathematicly and scientificly on whether or not the carts could ACTUALLY hit each other.
"Are you sure they can do this? Has anyone actually died on here?" "Just a couple times when they get too scared and jump off." "What!?!" "I'm kidding." He smiled. Oh he had a beautiful smile...and his black hair that hung down, covering part of his eyes. To die for. Emily smiled, shaking her head. "Pay back is a bitch." "We'll see."
The ride began.

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" Megami screamed with joy as their car went at 300mph straight down a hill as another one came up, heading right towards them. As Aaron screamed and held onto her arm like a little baby, the cars both went backwards and went the opposite way on a different track.
Soon, she heard loud roars coming from the dragon pen. Brenna, Nyroc and Alea's roars. She craned her head around and saw foolish people throwing popcorn at the more colorful dragons, pissing them off, causing them to break out of the pen and cause destruction all around the place. The person manning their ride stopped the ride and ran out, leaving them all hanging upside down at least 500 feet in the air.
"Dammit! Those idiots! We can't have one fuckin' peaceful day here, can we?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Megami yelled, leaving Aaron and transforming into a canary to fly down to the ruckus. (ruckus...lmfao lol)

Their car began to fall forwards down a hill, and Emily screamed with delight, throwing her hands up. As the car spead down, forward, and backward, the roars of Nyroc, Alea, and Brenna silenced Emily's screams. She twisted her head, to see idiots throwing things at the dragons. "YOU IDIOTS!" She screamed, Micheal placing a hand on her thigh/ Emily brought down her hands, growling, but he didn't remove them.
The ride stopped, just as she was about to smack Micheal. "Ah fuck what now." She looked around, and noticed her hair was hanging in front of her face.
They were upside down.
"Dammit! Those idiots! We can't have one fuckin' peaceful day here, can we?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Megami yelled, and in a few seconds Emily saw a canary fly down to the dragons. "Dunno!" Emily could feel her bones ache as the ripple of change washed over her once more. She got in as a human, but fell the 500 feet as a tiger.
"Astaroth!" She growled, and wings of fire sprouted from her back. She growled. It had been awhile since she'd called for Astaroth, a raven of flame she had created so long ago...well compared to this time at least.
From above, she could hear Micheal yelling for her, in shock and amasment that she was a tiger, and the fact that she was falling.
The wings of f flames spread, and soon she was gliding down to the pen, where the kids were running as Nyroc, Alea, and Brenna glapped their teeth in anger.

The man who had been their coaster's conductor had caught one of the kids and brought him over to the 3 girls now trying to restrain the destructive dragons. Everyone was screaming and running away. "What the HELL is your problem?!" Megami screamed, with an angry glint in her eyes that appeared only occasionally. So she was really angry, now. She grabbed the boy that the conductor had brought over to them, and shook him roughly. "What the hell were you thinking?! Do you have any idea what kind of magic and sacredness you've just disgraced?!" "Wherefore char target snaffle me?! Your firedrakes were of wyrd! Dissimilar emblaze than the solar which consists in ours! We were equitably nettling them target! There's nobelia matter of amiss befalling amongst this lieu!" Megami turned to Brenna, thinking 'translate, please.' It took Brenna almost a whole minute, but she finally said 'He's basically just saying that since we looked weird compared to the yellow dragons, they started messing with us, and they also think that there was no harm committed. By this time, Megami had thrown the boy back on the ground, spat on him, he ran away, and the conductor had continued the rollar coaster ride. Once the boys got off, which was only about 20 seconds later (which had been enough time for them to walk over and be waiting at the foot of the rollar coaster, waiting for the boys), they took a collective, quick, terrified glance at the 3 girls with their dragons, then ran away. "Oh, well. They were wimps anyway." Megami said, without a touch of sadness or regret in her voice because of the boys leaving. "You. All 3 of you. Come here." Came an old woman's croaky voice from behind them, before anyone could responded to Megami's statement. They turned around and saw an old, blind woman, sitting inside a tent about 10 feet across and to the right of the rollar coaster's entrance. "My name is Fayola, and I know that you have been looking for me. Come in. The quicker you help us and learn about everything that's going on to be able to help us, the better. I know that you all can do it."

"Stalker." She whispered to Cristina, who nodded. They walked into the tent, where insense and candles were lit. The tents sides draped around them, and kept the smoke in which made Emily's eyes water. She coughed. "Okay Crayola Crayon, tell us what we came ehre for, because as I'm sure you're going to tell us. You know what we came for. So just spill and stop showing off." Emily smiled a bitter sweet smile, obviously showing that she was irritated. "Besides, any longer and I'll be high in here. "She sniffed the bitter yet calming smoke once more, and the fumes mingled with her mind waves, making Nyroc seem far away.

Fayola sat with her legs crossed, and started to chant undiscernible words, but then was moving her hands in particular motions.
"Hmm...She's saying she knows I can translate her ancient language from signs to spoken word. She says it can never be translated, unless done by me. First, Fayola, I'm gonna ask you a question. How do you all of this?"
Pause, while Fayola moves her hands in different motions, her eyes rolling slowly into the back of her head, dark blue sparks flowing smoothly from her finger tips as she went.
"She says 'I know because you are The Heiress of the Ages. I am glad to see you again. And I also know because I'm a Seer, just like you, dummy.' WELL, SORRRRR-RRRRRRRRY!"
Pause, more fancy hand movements.
"Okay, well first, what did you mean by The Heiress of the Ages, and what do you mean by 'I am glad to see you again'? We've never met before."
Pause.
"She says 'Before, after. It is all the same. And you will, in time, come to terms with what The Heiress of the Ages means.' Okay, that's all fine and dandy, but why aren't I getting these visions, too? Why don't I know anything about The Heiress of the Ages, or anything about you, as well? Or are you just a big fake?"
Pause.
"Oh...She says because you can never get visions about your own destiny. Well, anyway, what do we have to know about The Tomb of Aubrei?"
Very long pause.
"Okay. Thanks. Let's go." She turns quickly on her heel, walks out, climbs onto Brenna and they fly away, followed by the other 4.
Cristina flies up to her and yells through the wind, "Ya know, I really wish you would tell us what's going on before you just run away sometimes!"
Megami ignored her and flew to the highest, snow-capped peaks of The Dragon's Spine, where Cristina wrapped the 6 of them in a sheild of wind, which moved so fast around them that it actually caused them to heat up, instead of get colder.

"You know, I can do that too." Emily said, the last one in the tent.
Fayola made a movement with her finger, that was unmistakable and anyone could read.
"What ever." She walked out, the smoke following her, as if it belonged to her.
Nyroc greeted her, and the smoke flowed into his nostrils, which made him sneeze shooting fire at Emily.
The fire did nothing.
"Jeez, warn me next time" She brushed off ash, and sneezed herself, fire shooting out as well. From the inside Fayola watched all this happen, and nodded her head.
Nyroc and Emily met Megami and Cristina as well as the rest in the air in a matter of moments. "Yea so that Crayola person, she's a pretty nice woman." Emily said sarcasticly.

"Oh, yeah, beautiful." Megami responded, smirking.
"Uh-huh, my new bestest friendy!" Cristina said. "So, why are we up here, might I ask? For the 10th time?"
"Well, she said that we need to open the tomb. It's found somewhere in the city. But to open it, we need 3 items from here. They're scattered all about the Spine, so ti won't be that easy. You will never find 2 of the 3 together. She also said that the 3 items are: 1, a small, counter-clockwise spinning machina, which is located in a part of a large work of art here, which sort of looks like a religious monument. We have to find the art, and take the machina out of it. It's what makes the art move. 2, we have to find a special prism. It should be in the hands of a statue of Aubrei, somewhere near the end of the Spine. And the last one we have to find is a reflecting orb. Just a clear orb, kinda like a crystal ball. She didn't tell me where it would be, just that it wouldn't be very far away from the prism. She said she's not sure of any of their exact locations, because they're so powerfully magical that they can avoid nearly any penetration or detection. But if we're sent on the task, we're more likely to find them than anyone that was born here, because...Well, we're spweshul." (lmao)

"Totally, I bet Crayola has that sphere thing, you know one of those thingys that those nutty people look into? Did you notice anything but smoke?" The thought of the smoke made Emily dizzy, and she began to slide. "Damn, that musta made me high or something MMMHMM!!" She laughed, as Nyroc did a slight twist that slid Emily back into place. "Where to first? This'll be easy peesy lemon squeesy, we're so spweshul." She said, humming a slight tune.

Megami whispers something to Cristina about Emily, and they both laugh. "Okies, let's go! ;D"
They get back on their dragons, and start to fly semi-slow over the terrain, scoping it for any type of floating machine, or work of art.
"Emily, do you see anything yet?!" Megami yelled through the layers and blockades ofw ind.

Emily shook her head, as smoke floated form her ears. "Guys, I think that bitch did something to me." She looked all over. "No I can't see squat my visons blurred by...by damn smoke!" She put her hands in front of her face. "I didn't do anything to piss her off this time either!" She moved her hands, and shook her head.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh bad Crayola, bad." Megami said, laughing. She started to get lazy from looking (which she didn't do much of in the first place), and just used Libra.
"This way!" They followed Megami across the snow, and reached a floating...Well, a floating thing. It was bronze, and was just many bronze orbs circling each other, with a small, triangular shaped, spinning thing material inside of it, which Megami removed.
As soon as she removed it, the whole thing fell apart. "BOOM!"

"Okay, now we have to find this stupid prism, in the hands of a statue of Aubrei."
"What made this girl so special, anyway?" Brenna asked.
"Don't ask me." Megami said, getting on Brenna. They all flew to the end of the spine, looking into the eyes of the tall statue. Aubrei had long, somewhat wavy hair, was thin, and the sculptor made sure that her vampire teeth were visible. She also had many weapon add ons in the creation.
"She kinda looks like you." Brenna said, snickering.
"Are you kidding me? This bitch is ugly."
She saw the prism. A small, clear, vibrating (hehe), prism.

She picked it up and pocketed it. Now, it was time to find the orb.

They all climbed aboard their dragons, and in a matter of seconds, they were high over the spine once more. "An orb...is it a square orb?" Emily laughed, but found nobody else thought it was funny. "Apperently this place has burned all of your humor...I'll burn it back into you though!" She threatened, and Franny and Val let out a laugh that was all too convincing. Emily laughed and turned to face forward, where she saw a glimpse from down below. "Guys, either thats a small elf holding something shiny...or a REALLY big giant who is holding that orb."

"Ah, dammit." Megami said calmly, shooting the giant in the head with a lightning bolt out of her right palm. But then, the orb dropped.
Oh fudge Megami thought, chasing the orb almost down to the floor of the desert with Brenna, snatching it up a second before it landed on the ground and shattered.

"Good job!" Emily gave her the thumbs up. "I woulda just kissed the gient and asked for it nicely, Hagrid wouldn't like you for killing one of his family members" She joked and smiled innocently, she didn't normally make fun of Hagrid...but he WASN'T here, and what he didn't hear wouldn't hurt him, right?

"Haha...He didn't like the fact that I killed him a while ago, either. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" She starts to hum random lullabies, as she gives the machina to Cristina, the prism to Emily and holds the orb in her hands.
They all fly back down below to the desert, so Cristina didn't have to waste her wind powers to keep them warm. As they landed, they saw people of in the distance.
One was the Headmaster, and the other was just a regular human. Megami quickly conjured an invisibility cloak with her poor, old wand. It was a humongous invisibility cloak, of course, or it would not cover all of them. They all glided over with help of Cristina's wind elemental, then landed right behind the person talking to the Headmaster.
"Did you get the dark magic yet? The halfling leader need more halflings to help take over. They keep getting killed. I'm sure it's by that damned Crusade...."
"We're trying to get it, but it's hard for our suppliers to continuously get their hands on some. And you know that it's The Crusade, and you know that they're living here, not Syudad, ever since we got that information. You know that we saw them out here, heard them talking, seen their dragons. They've received more powerful recruits than ever before. And you know that your daughter's a part of it."
"The halfling leader's spy is watching my daughter carefully, so don't you worry about her!" The Headmaster screeched. "The halfling only give us the little girl if we get more halflings. Then, we'll be able to trick him into thinking that he's helping me win power over the city and that he's getting half the power. Well, he's wrong. As soon as we get what we need, we throw him out of the plan. In short: we give him halflings, he gives us the girl, we defeat the city with halflings and throw him out in the cold without power. In the meantime, his spy is watching over the Crusade and the girl very carefully." And with this, the Headmaster flew away, the other person calling a yellow dragon down from where it was resting up ontop of the spine, getting on it and flying off.
"Uh oh." Megami said, looking at Cristina and Emily. They all flew back to The Crusade, where they the little girl and Sal.
"Where have you all been, dammit?!" Sal shouted the moment they walked in. Hilary was there, too, now, safe.
"Well, we went to do Kalihl's mission, and then at the racing garage we got the call from you to go and get Hilary. Once we did, she informed us of Fayola, who helped us get the 3 artifacts concerning The Tomb of Aubrei."
"You found the 3 artifacts?" Sal asked, his eyes widening.
"Yes. 'Cause we're spweshul." Cristina responded, smiling. "Oh, and...Um, also...We heard a conversation between the Headmaster and one of his little servants. They said they needed more dark magic to keep the halfling's leader happy."
"But isn't my father the halfling's leader?!" Hilary asked, confused.
"Well, we all thought that." Said Megami. "But, uh...No. Apparently, they're giving the dark magic to the students to turn them into halflings. Then, the Halfling leader will take them under his control, and use them to take over the city for the Headmaster, who's supposed to give the halfling leader half the profits from the city for helping him gain it back under his control."
"Buuuuuuuuuut the Headmaster's gonna be a gweedy little monster and keep it all to himself! Weeeeeeeee!" Emily shouted.
"Yupyup. Oh, and they're also looking for this little chica more stringently." Said Cristina, nodding at the little girl, who was looking at them all bemusedly.
"Okay, thanks for the information. Now I need you all to escort the girl over to Jonas at Tyler's power station, he'll take care of her from there. It's best if The Crusade is spread otu more, so that if they see 5 of us in one place and 3 in another, they'll get confused about where our hideout is. You 3, myself and Hilary will stay here. Isabel, Lacey and Eden are somewhere hidden safely in Syudad. Jonas and this little girl will be in the harbor with Tyler and Kalihl, obviously. 5 others will be in a hideout in the heart of Kaida, and another 5 will be in the desert, in a cave about 13 miles away from the one where the halflings all sleep. So now, take her over to Jonas, and then go to Kalihl. He has another job for you. Oh, and when you take the girl...You're going to have to be extremely careful of halflings in the sky. They're patrolling like mad today. DON'T let her get caught. If she's caught, there's no hope."
"Oh great." Said Megami under her breath, picking up the little girl and putting her on back of Brenna. She got on behind the girl, and Brenna rose up, high in the air, Cristina, Emily, Alea and Nyroc following toward the harbor. They saw halflings flying in the distance....

"...You're going to have to be extremely careful of halflings in the sky. They're patrolling like mad today. DON'T let her get caught. If she's caught, there's no hope." Sal said, looking over Megami, Cristina, and Emily.
Emily nodded silently, and climbed onto Nyroc. Each step revealed something more dangerous, and serious. This wasn't a laughing matter, not right now at least. They were transporting a little girl. Whose to say this girl was hurt so emotionaly, she was the white king in this game of chess. The more Emily thought about chess, the more it made sense. Yes, Megami, Cristina and Emily were all pawns, because they were doing erronds, they weren't so important, they litterally only knew what the other pieces told them. This game was about outwitting each other with each move, and now the two players who were in charge of moving the pieces were planning something big. Something destructive.
Emily looked up from her thoughts to see halflings flying in the distance. A simple task, but with the little girl, it made things a little tricky.
She looked at Cristina, who nodded, also silent for she had heard all of Emily thoughts. Because she shared them with everyone, so that they would know it was now a real life game of wizards chess.
Cristina, and Emily flew up ahead of Megami, and circled each other, creating a circle in the air that was both white and black.
From the east, halflings had noticed them, and were now flying towards them more quickly.
"Ready?" Emily glanced at Cristina who was already standing on Alea.
Emily stood up as well, and with one last glance at Cristina, they both ran up their dragons heads, and jumped.
Silently, they grabbed hands and spiraled down to earth, above them Alea and Nyroc were shooting fire, and wind.
Fire and wind began to rise from Cirstina and Emily, who were still twirling and holding hands. The infernal wind tunnel grew and rose, and soon Alea and Nyroc had disapeared within.
In the middle of the funnel, Megami, the little girl, and Brenna flew quickly. As halflings tried to penatrate the funnel, they burned and blew away in ashes. This continued for minutes and the funnel only grew stronger, covering more air.
Finally, the tunnel faded, and Alea and Nyroc dived directly down to catch the still falling, but slowly-do to the push of wind from Cristina-and flew up to meet Megami once more.
Emily sat down, and leaned forward resting on Nyrocs scales. What Cristina and Emily had preformed had taken a lot out of her, and probably Cristina too. They had tapped into each others elements, and used the power of the yin and yang. A hard, and most sacred act.
"There will be more." Emily said, sitting back up as smoke left her ears once more.
