=== Wardens of the Elements ===
Old rumors have died.
Old stories, forgotten.
The origin lost
But heirs remain.
When their home collapse, the pillars shattered, and the gems missing, the Element Wardens must find the missing gems, that who ever has possen, could possibly rule the world. But on the night of their collapsing home, each Warden suddenly gains an ability. And when they learn that their precious gems are gone, and suddenly know that they where for more than decoration, they know they have to find them. But the Wardens think there is a problem, the problem being that once turned thirteen, they stay thirteen. And since their abilities were thrusted upon them, they only age till thirteen, then stop. And they must learn their identity, to save not just their lives, but possibly the world's too.

== PROLOG ==
The master called upon his helper, a creepy sound.
At most the master was just calling, at least it wasn't summoning.
The child walked to the master, his dark cloak billowing out against the slim frame. The child bowed and kneeled.
"What must I do O' Master?" The boy asked, keeping his voice steady.
"I will take your blood twit and use it for my own purposes." he slithered. In a flash he grabbed the the thirteen year old boy by the neck and raised him off the ground. The boy kicked and grabbed at his neck, trying to loosen the master's grip. The master's tongue flicked in and out of his fanged teeth, his covered eyes becoming slits.
"No use in killing you though," the master sighed and flicked his hand, using Dark magic to release the boy. "I need you as leverage." The dark brown haired boy feel to his knees clutching his neck. Though he couldn't tell in the dark gloomy cellar, the boy had blotches of red on his neck from the lack of air supply.
The boy, whom was what they call 'leverage' was trapped, prisoner and captive. The master, whom his father had warned the boy about, was doing the unspeakable. It was a surprised that the boy was still alive. He wore a tattered tunic, that itches terribly, and no shoes. His hair had grown out, no longer neatly trimmed, and was getting slimmer by the day, which of course happens when you don't get feed.
The master forgot about the boy, immediately turning back to his books, eyes and proportions regular. "I need royal blood..." he whispered.
The boy's eyes widened.
"If you get caught, never give in, and especially don't give anyone your blood." Father had told him.
The boy knew he had to escape. He could not give the master his blood, nor his DNA. The boy wanted his father, his mother, his brothers. His family, his friend. But he had to get out first.
Forrest Wells needed to get out of there. 
>>><<<
Esben Wells looked out the open window of his room. Twirling the quill pen in his fingers. He glanced down at the sheet of paper his mentor had given him. He had to write a paper about the recent treaty between the Trolls and Dwarfs. But his mind wandered else where as usual. He had decorated the corners of the paper with suldereen feathers and dire wolf tails. His mentor would be disappointed.
Would Father?
Would Mother?
Forrest was missing, a month now. And as the eldest, it was a big deal. If Esben was missing, only his family would care. The public wouldn't care about the last born.
Esben sighed and looked longing out the window.
== Chapter One: The Pillars ==
The sun peeked through the morning clouds, alighting the land below it. The energy flowed down, boosting the life around, and some entering the Light Pillar. The liquid light moved through the marble, glowing, lighting the world along with the sun. The Mind Pillar slowly stopped churning, a small stream of moonlight pulsing through, every mere thought fueling it. A small bird chirped, the Nature Pillar's carvings glowed a leaf green. The Water Pillar rumbled as the sea awoke, creating a swirling of water cascading down it.
The Ice Pillar receives another layer of ice, a glowing ice blue. The Protection Pillar's green glow fades, as forces are deactivated. The wind current picks up, a few leaves get caught in the Wind Pillar's energy. The white pillar with yellow zig-zags flicker as the Lightning Pillar continues it's fight at sea. A flickering sight, there, not there, as the Vanishing Pillar continues to confuse. A bird flies through the plain limestone pillar, the Phase Pillar slightly sparkles. 
Healing is always at work, the Healing Pillar slightly thumps like a heartbeat. A dark circle is swirling around the Void Pillar, only for travel and a few other things. The Dark Pillar fades into a cream white, night is gone and so rest is here. The silver pillar is transmitting the impossible, Technology Pillar it is called. The Fire Pillar ignites, flames licking its surface swirling around the pillar, no sign of smoke. The gray white pillar changes and changes and changes, every emotion is pulsing through the Life Pillar.
And the last pillar, in the center usually does hardly anything but glow a faint light. But today, it predicted. There is no name for this pillar, maybe Glow Pillar but what does it do? Except for now. It started glowing brighter, and brighter, soon the land was blinded. Close your eyes yes, but if you had them open, you would've seen it. The pillar was spinning, faster and faster, and images flash, one there, another there, a few over there. And as soon as it started, it was over. Only later would a mere soul understand what happened.
The pillar had just told the future...
== Chapter Two: Morning Breath ==
Coming soon...
Rays of light flooded through the open window, the marble walls warming. First sister woke. She always layed in bed after she woke, to really make sure she didn't want to go back to sleep. She didn't.
She sat up in her large bed and stretched, her back popping. She jumped out of bed and into her slippers, twirling around remembering the dance the night before. It was a full moon ceremony last night, which meant dancing and food and music. She danced to the window and rested her elbows on the marble, looking out at the land below her. 
The cascading waterfall rumbled in the distance, the forest stirred with creatures, a light breeze blew, light warm. The rolling purple fields in the distance, the everchanging forest beyond, the icy peaks of the cold mountains. First sister reached out a delicate finger, brushing the dark purple leaf of the tree outside her window, frost covered tips. Plums would be here soon. 
A small tinkling bell sounded as the wind blew the chimes. First sister quickly slide across the marble floor and crashed into the wall next to her closet. Opening the curtain with dramatic movement, she ran her fingers over her clothes before finding what she wanted. A short white scort and a sleeveless flowy white shirt. She ducked behind the changing board and changed out of her silk nightgown. 
After getting changed, First sister grabbed a brush and tackled her tangles. And with help from the mirror, she was able to crown braid her blond hair. With a few pins it was in place. She reached for her fabric. It was a shimmering white, with spun moonlight. She pulled her head through the opening and took each other corner and crossed them. The silver circle pin held the fabric to her shirt and was just below her left shoulder. Now with that done, she could either have it low and drape on her arms for the day or with a few white pins have it flow behind her. She decided to have it flow behind her.
First sister had always enjoyed getting ready so, she did more. So, when fabric was done, she bent down and slipped her foot into the sandal and (with only what practice can do) wrapped the striges around her leg. And did the same with her other leg. Then she took two brown ribbons and wrapped them around her arm to her elbow, repeating the process to her other arms.
She then stood up and made sure she was ready for the day.
---{ }---
First brother woke, and felt the same as he always did. He grimaced as he rose from his bed, a very large and very angry Dire Wolf name Magna (which is latin for beast) had raked her claws into his side. Fifth sister was horrified and had immediately lurged Magna away. (How no animal attacked her was unbelievable) 
He took off his shirt and tossed it to the side, wincing at the pain. He pressed his hand on the white bandage as he moved towards the mirror. He raised his hands above his head. A bit of blood has seeped through the bandage.
Slowly, he got dress. A pair of black pressed pants and a white shirt. He quickly ran his hands through his jet black hair. He took his red black gold embroidered jerkin and set it on his bed, to wear later. Unlike First sister, he'd never taken to dressing all fancy if it wasn't an occasion. They all had their own ways, and he did as he liked. He stared into the mirror watching his eyes burn. They were normal, a light brown like First sister's but a year ago, he'd gone blind for a couple days, his eye sealed shut.
Then one day they were better. But it seemed as if his eyes were slitted outwards from the pupil. The fire of lava seemed to show behind his eyes and you could only see it through the slits. He'd grown used to them now, as well as the others, but it was still unusual.
He tugged on is mid calf length brown boots, brushed his teeth, and exited his room. 
The hall was lined with 16 large doors, eight on each side. Each of their rooms where there. First brother's room was across from Second sister's room, who's door swirled in purple vines and lilacs. Almost as if on queue, Second sister burst open her doors with grace and strode out in fashion. She started speaking in a low voice moving her hands around as she were on a stagelight and not in the hall. 
It had always been unpredictable what Second sister would wear. She was a mix of both, seeing fancy cloths as sometimes pointless, but she still loved wearing the unpractical. Today she was wearing white button up shirt tucked into a pair of black pants and brown boots, almost what First brother was wearing. But Second sister had lilac purple sash around her waist and a pale blue pirate jacket, with gold swirls and cuffed sleeves. A fake sword was sheathed around he waist and chocolate hair was in a thick braid down her next. A brown three pointed hat was atop her head with bird feathers on the side. It seemed as if she walked straight out of the books.
"Hey." First brother tried hesitantly. Second sister whirled around upon hearing him. She looked at him and placed her hand on her hip. The silver medallion she wore around her next thumbed with her actions. "Hey." It may have been the hat and jacket but she suddenly seemed very intimidating. "What are you up to?" First brother stuffed his hands into her pockets and started down the hall. "Ah, the normal. My head going off into different directions and forgetting about the world around me. What about you? I heard Magna got you yesterday." 
"Eh, it hurts like it's supposed to. Fifth sister said she'd check it later today for me."
"Good," They kept walking. Second sister wrinkled her nose. "Did you brush your teeth?" 
Perplexed, First brother nodded. "Like I always do." 
"Did you check it? Because you smell funny."
"Oh no." Second sisters lips created a thin line. "At least it doesn't smell that bad. Just morning breath."
"Yeah," First brother grumbled. "Just morning breath."
== Chapter Three: Home ==
Now reader, the wardens, whom you are reading about, don't know much about the world. In fact, they don't know much about who they are themselves. The don't remember arriving at their home, they don't remember their parents, and they don't even know if they are related. But it seems as they are since they have lived together their entire lives.
They also were born with information in their heads and without some information. They don't know how they arrived as that part of their lives has been striped from memory lane. Now they also don't know about anything else either. They only know what they have learned. The large library has millions of books explaining everything, but that's a lot to read and even you and I know that it's a bit much. 
So the wardens have never seen the world. Never seen where you are from, nor where I'm from. Not even the Lost Cities that they are somehow connected to. The only information they can get is to read the books left in the library.
Now about the information that they were born with. They don't know how to access it, in fact they don't even know they have information, very useful information mind you, stuck, trapped in their heads. They have never question their existence nor how they got their since they deemed it 'unexplainable'.
Now that you know a bit of the dear warden's heads, let me tell you where they live. Now, there are the stables that the horses, steeds, unicorns, pegasis live, as well as more animals they've grown dear to. Except for a few animals they've had to trap for otherwise they could do harm. As you've seen with Magna, the Dire Wolf that clawed First brother. (She's still adapting to her diet of veggies and we all know how difficult that can be)
There is the garden, full of anything food you can grow. And the orchard which grows every tree that bears food grows. Then there are the forests. Ah, the every changing forests. One day it's full of towering Redwoods, and the next almost jungle like. Then with a few minutes walk you hit the ocean, with it's soft sand and it's clear blue water. The meadow the opposite direction with rolling hills. In the distance is the snowy mountains and the frozen forest. And past the meadow is, hm... Nobody knows. It's so long and big that the wardens have never traveled that far. In fact, there is probably a tons more places that the wardens have yet to go, so you'll have to find out along with them.
