Inside Look to Elemental Academy

" Clearly Water." The words issued from Heated Fire's lips. " Yes." Zorzin Star inclined his head in knowing. " We do not have to test this one. But is she Night Dark or DayLight?" Heated was quick to respond. "Daylight." She answered, brushing, red-gold hair to the side of the face. Zorzin shook his head. " Night Dark. But if you given me Emma's brother, you can have the girl." Heated Fire frowned. " Yes." She agreed recluntley. " I have Emma, you have Lunin."

The Animus

The Animus are tribes of people.  They can turn into a particular species of animal, talk to that species, and they are born with some traits and skills associated with their animal. The animals are species, but not subspecies. For instance:

• There is a Leopard Tribe, but not Cloud, Chinese, or Snow leopards
• There are tigers, but not Amur or Bengal Tigers

Every full moon, the tribes met at a gathering and tell each other news, meet friends, or find out how the Leopard tribe needs 1/7 of the Hyena tribe's territory. There is a tribe for every animal, except for insects, bugs, and caterpillars, although there is a tribe for butterflies and moths.

These are the characters from my poem Eyes: Spirit of winter, Elkna; and her nemesis, spirit of summer, Tlisa.
For those who havent read it: my poem, Eyes

Deep in the night, A dragon lurks.
Her name is Elkna, spirit of winter.
Her Nemesis is Tlisa, spirit of summer.
Her eyes-
They swirl wildly,
They twist and turn
They are Blue, a cold, ice-like, Blue. 
They Hpytnotize you,
As they twist;
They remind you of the beauty of winter as you die.


Elkna and LenaG:
LenaG: So, is it true that you can transform into any winter-assciated animal?
Elkna: So thats what lies Tlisa has been spreading about me. NO! Only animals that live in the Arctic, like seals, snowy owls, foxes, polar bears, and elk.
LenaG: Do you have a dungeon?
Elkna: What are you thinking? Of course!
LenaG: Do you have animals servants?
Elkna: Yes! I make servants out of penguins, artic foxes, polar bears, snowy owls, and elk.
LenaG: Most valued trait?
Elkna: My coldness.


Tlisa and LenaG:
LenaG: Do you really hate Elkna?
Tlisa: Actualey, no! She just does alot of bad things to me, and I defend myself. You may notice that I never actually was on the offense.
LenaG: Do you have animal servants?
Tlisa: That would be cruel, right?
LenaG: What animals can you turn into?
Tlisa: Animals that live in the desert, animals who generally are at their livelist in summer, and birds of any kind
LenaG: Most valued trait?
Tlisa: My kindness

The Meeting

The bronze dragons scales scraped against rough rocks as she settled down to become part of the circle. " This has gone to far" she hissed "Shark, you must STOP!" " But I thought you pledged yourself to the Revengie." was the chilling response, as a sapphire dragon slid around the corner. " I really did. We really did. And the punishment for betrayal to the Revengie, Chrome" he let the words settle down" Is death." Chrome jerked her tail back and fourth. With interest, some other dragons, mostly reddish-yellow, or brownish-gold, and the occasional black, leaned forward. " But I want to quit. This has gone to far!" Shark smiled grimly. " No, Chrome. You have gone to far. Good-bye." Chrome's dying scream as she fell down the cliff still echoes in some's minds.

The Crown of Summer

 Warning: This is a summary of a story I want, but cannot, make.

                                                Where Am I?                                                                                              

That is the question Alixa asks when she lands in a magical world full of dragons, unicorns, nymphs, spirits, and people with magical talents. Then Alixa releases  she is not so different:  A few drops of  reveling potion reveal her talent: Alixa can talk to animals. She is about to settle down and make a home in Althica. Here, she has a date that can fly, and her pet snake Quicksilver. But then someone steals the Crown of Summer. Without it, Summer cannot come and go. Now, Alixa, her date, Danin, and a moon dragon named Triea set out to find the Crown of Summer- and they have a deadline of 10 days. Otherwise, the island will be trapped in never-ending winter- forever.

The Jackolopes, Chapter 7, The Cure

In the night, the Jackolopes had turned back into themselves. They had also reached the bottom of the mountian, which they congratulated themselves on. The night was dark and starry, like dozens of tiny, white, flowers, which reminded Sky of a story his mother used to tell him. He told it to the others:

A long time ago, there was a star. It was so bright, all the others stars became invisible. They plotted against this star. Eventually, they killed the star. They all shone as brightly as before- they where glad. But the other star fell to earth, flaming. Where it fell, no one knew, but a wise dragon revealed it was in a great forest, surrounded by green grass. It grew into a white flower that could cure any burn. It was guarded by a white Jackolope with black horns. No one has dared to try to find it. Not yet, anyway.

" So we know what the cure is." Thought Deer. "We just need to find it."

The Jackolopes, chapter 6, time to put that star blue to use

As morning approached, the jackolopes where a sad group to behold. They talked and thought about things they could have done to save Dew, Beetle especially, until Poppy wisely said " Dew would not want us to do this. She would have wanted us to go on." This made Deer think about what Dew would have want them to do, until she came up with an idea. " Hey." She announced " We could get down the mountians faster as Snow Leopards.

A few minutes later, 4 Snow Leopards where racing down the mountians. And no one knew where they came from.

The jackolopes, chapter 5, the burial

Dew was buried under a willow, under the nearest stretch of paurie grass they could find. The star, however, was not buried with her. It was given to Beetle, who had been developing a (love) affair with Dew. The sunset fell onto Dews broken body. She was special. Unlike most Jackolopes, she had not been a solid color. Instead of the festive reds, pinks, oranges, or yellows; the calming, greens, blues, and whites; the dark blacks, greys, and browns; and all the colors in between, Dew had been a calming aqua, with white paws and small bursts of yellow all over her body. And no one, NO ONE, could match her soothing voice, and skill at cooking. After the funeral, when the jackolopes found shelter for the night in a dark, damp, cave, Beetle swore never to use the star. It was a promise he would soon break.

The Jackalopes, Chapter 4, The glass shard and the fall

As the jackalopes made their way down the slope, Dew begin to wonder about the piece of glass Jumpera had slipped into her paw. It had been a bright blue, the color of the ocean. It had been shaped like a star. The curiosity suddenly became to much for Dew to bear. She slipped a paw into her satchel and brought it out. The star glittered in the early morning light, a beautiful shape. It was so beautiful that  Dew, unfortunately, Did not pay attention to her surroundings.

Dew cried out, but there was nothing her party could do to save her. But then, something happened. A badly scratched eagle flew up toward them. As it reached ground, It turned into Dew. Dew might have survieded, but it was to late. She was already dying. "I think it was the star." Dew gasped, pressing the star into Poppy's paw. "No!" Cried Beetle. But it was to late. Dew was dead.

The Jackolopes, chapter 3, A shard of glass

5 jackalopes where departing to find the white flower, and unravel the meaning of the jackolope prophecy. They where departing next morning. The searchers were: Poppy, a old but wise and stable elder; A young healer skilled in the art of seeing, Dew; A especially fast finder, Beetle; Deer, a young jackalope who was skilled in planning and archery; and last, but not least, Sky, a trap detector and disabler. The good-byes where being said. Any moment now, the Jackolopes would leave. Just before the party began their journey downward, Jumpera limped out of her tent. She slipped a shard of glass into Dew's paw and left. Dew dropped the piece of glass into her satchel. None of them wondered or even bothered to look at the shard.

The jackolopes, chapter 2, Knowledge

" We only know the riddle." Responded the phoenix. "It goes something like this:

Silver moonlight

With Green Grass

Touches the EverGreen trees

Burns can be caused by the Sun

But healed at Moonlights paper-thin touch

 " It does not rhyme, but we think it means that a tall flower, surrounded by grass, in the EverGreen forest, is the cure. When it is touched to the burn, we think the burn will heal." "There is one problem, though." Piped up  the elder. "As far as we can see, there is not a drawback. Every legend has a drawback. The problem is, we canNOT find the drawback in this legend. Which means the searchers will have to be prepared for everything." "Poppy, does not that remind of the old jackolope prophecy?" Mentioned the other elder, drinking down the healing, but scalding, drink.

Bounding through the grass 

of its own kind

the searcher

sees moonlight

to heal the darkest fur

an antler like the fatal burn

finds the flower in the grass.

But join it with the phoenix riddle

or the prophecy will not last.

Jackalopes- chapter 1, Recovering

The tribe was still recovering. Black burns showed on paws and legs, antlers were missing, sores throbbed red. A wildfire had raced through there home, set by the griffen lion tribe, hungry for more territory. Things had been bad. The leader was missing a leg; the deputy died; only two elders had survived the rage. The tribe knew they had no chances of surviving in their former home. So they traveled up to the top of the Song of Sky mountian, where the phoenixes nursed them until they where ready to battle the griffen lion tribe for their former territory.

The medicine tent consisted of 25 beds woven of soft plain grass; a boiling cauldron filled with a hot, red liquid that most of the patients where being fed, and a phoenix healer, along with 3 jackolope ones. "Noooooooooo!" A great moan split the air. "Its true." said the phoenix healer softly. "Jumpera will die in three days time." "No." Muttered the jackolope softly. "There is one way to save Jumpera, however." "How?" said the jackolope, leaning in.

copied from wings of fire the dragonet prophecy

The Prophecy

When war has lasted twenty years... 

the dragonets will come.

When the land is soaked in blood and tears...

the dragonets will come.

Find the Seawing egg of deepest blue.

Wings of night shall come to you.

The largest egg in mountain high

will give you the wings of the sky.

For wings of earth, search through the mud

for an egg the color of dragon blood.

And hidden away from the rival Queens,

The Sandwing egg awaits unseen.

Of three Queens who will Blister and Blaze and Burn,

two shall die and one shall learn

That if she bows to a fate that is stronger and higher,

she'll have the power of wings of fire.

Five dragons to hatch on the brightest night,

five dragons born to end the fight.

Darkness will rise to bring the light.

The dragonets are coming....

Wings of Fire

Wings of fire is a book series about 7 dragon tribes at war. Queen Oasis of the Sandwings( I will inclose a Nightwing guide to the dragons of Pyrrhia at the next post, along with the prophecy ) was killed by a scavenger, and now her three daughters, Blister, Blaze, and Burn, are fighting over the throne. The Nightwings have made a prophecy that 5 dragonets, from different tribes, born on the brightest night, will rise up to stop the war and chose the next Sandwing queen. However, the Skywing egg was smashed and the dragon carrying it killed, so the a Talon of Peace(a underground peace movement that believes in the Prophecy and is determined to stop the war) go's out and gets a Rainwing egg as a replacement. This is a great series about dragons.

The books: The Dragonet Prophecy, narrated by Clay, the Mudwing Dragonet of Destiny. The Lost Heir, narrated by Tsunami, the Seawing Dragonet of Destiny. The Hidden Kingdom, narrated by Glory, the (mistaken) Rainwing Dragonet of Destiny, as a replacement for the smashed Skywing egg. The Dark Secret, narrated by StarFlight, the Nightwing Dragonet of Destiny. The Brightest Night, narrated by Sunny, the Sandwing Dragonet of Destiny. The Brightest Night will come out April or March 2014.

 Commentery on the Rival sisters: "Blaze is about as smart as a concussed sheep, Blister is probably plotting to become the Queen of all the tribes right now, and if Burn wins, she'll probably keep the war going just for fun." - StarFlight.
