The Prophecies Of Mira: The River's Heart

## Prologue

*Once upon a time, Mira lay restless on a light, fluffy cloud watching over Jamaa. She couldn't bare to see more jammers arguing. She decided to see to it. But by the time she went down to land, the ruckus had gone underwater. Mira had trouble swimming, but she used her powers to create a beam of light that she could travel through. Once Mira arrived in Crystal Reef, the jammers all stared at her, awestruck. The arguing jammers hesitated, but then continued their conflict. The jammers ignored Mira. Mira sighed to herself, but then she felt a presence of life and magic. She discovered the jammers were arguing about who would return the River's Heart to where it belonged. Mira forced the jammers apart, and retrieved the stolen heartstone. But once she'd recovered it safely where she'd lived up in her sky kingdom, a delivery falcon that was really a phantom stole it! Mira knew that if she tried to get it back herself the phantoms would capture her and Jamaa would be doomed. Mira had her actual messenger send out prophecies to chosen jammers.*

### Chapter one: The Messenger Of Mira

It was raining. Mira was desperate. She knew that her deliverer should arrive! Mira had been eager to receive a message from the alphas. Mira knew she had to be patient, it was raining and it would be a rough flight for the delivery bird. But still, they should've been here by now. It had been hours and usually the delivery birds were never even a second late!

Finally, 15 minutes later a light grey and light purple falcon swooped down with a letter. The falcon perched on the balcony and Mira hurriedly reached out to grab her letters. The falcon swept Mira's wing away and the letter burst into flames! What shall I do? Mira thought as she tried her best to prevent the blaze from destroying her entire palace. While Mira was distracted, the falcon, who was really a phantom in disguise, flew straight over all the jammers guarding The River's Heart, and stole it- Mira didn't notice up until the next morning when she went to get the guards breakfast.

The guards were all moaning and scorched. One or two of them were sound asleep. "Phantoms"! Mira cried. She instantly knew the falcon must've been a fake, and it probably had taken so long because it had been in a fight with the real deliverer! Mira felt helpless. She knew that she was able to heal the guards but she felt very bad that she'd been focused more on her mail then their own safety.

"I'm very sorry I didn't watch out for you- may you experience peace back in Jamaa". Mira whispered. One by one the guards disappeared, reappearing in comfortable dens. Each of them had been granted The Blessing Of Mira. Mira smiled, knowing this was the best possible way to help the wounded guards. They must've been very brave to defend the River's Heart when a phantom was on the loose.

Mira knew she couldn't go to the phantoms herself. It was also too risky to ask her husband, Zios, to go or for the alphas. If the phantoms captured Mira or any of her allies or Zios, then surely the phantoms would have power over Jamaa. Mira decided to choose seven jammers to retrieve the stolen River's Heart. She sent a letter to her true Messenger, and asked for them to hand out a special prophecy to the seven chosen jammers.

### Chapter two: The first jammer

Richard CharmLion sat down on his porch. He was bored and none of his friends would play with him. His mother said he couldn't play video games either. His father offered to play chess, but Richard wasn't in the mood. Richard heaved a sigh, then decided to go do his laundry. He noticed that his clothes had already been washed, and they were neatly folded, ready to be taken out from the dryer.

This was odd. Richard didn't recall washing his clothes ahead of time. His mother had told him it wasn't her responsibility, so she'd doubtfully done it for him. His father hadn't gone downstairs at all last night or today. Who had done it for him? Richard pondered as he took his clothes upstairs into his bedroom.

As soon as Richard put all his clothes away, he'd considered cleaning his room. But when he looked behind him, his room was perfectly spotless! Even things his mother or father couldn't reach had been put away and cleaned. His room no longer smelled like sweaty gym uniforms and sticky cough drops. It smelled like fresh autumn air, with a tint of rose and tulip perfume. Richard couldn't believe it. This day seemed more and more impossible. Richard certainly wasn't capable of cleaning his room this well.

He knew their must be some sneaky jammer doing Richard's chores for him. They'd probably ask for money in return, and Richard was really rich, but he didn't mind his chores enough to pay another jammer to do it for him. Although it could be a nice once-a-year thing, it was almost as if they weren't asking for money, just attention. Whoever they really were, that is. Suddenly, they revealed themselves...

"Richard CharmLion, you are the first of seven jammers to be chosen to retrieve the River's Heart".

"Mira, mother of all skies, has told me specifically to give you guidance on your quest".

"I am the Messenger Of Mira in my true form, I may be a spirit but I am still very wise and powerful".

"I shall give you your prophecy as the first jammer, Richard CharmLion".

*When the moon shines bright on a rainy night,*

*The River's Heart stolen and waters polluted,*

*You shall be the first one chosen to settle things right,*

*A brave and bold ally to come by twilight,*

*Tonight the beginning of a very long road,*

*Lies will be told but honesty will stand out like gold*

\*\*\*

The River's Heart? Wasn't that the Underwater Heart stone? For all of the underwater jammers? When the moon shines bright on a rainy night... A couple of weeks ago, it rained all night long. That night, the moon was full. There was even a gathering for wolves, arctic wolves, coyotes, dire wolves, and hyenas! I wish I could've gone there, but my parents doubtfully would've let me. The River's Heart, if it was stolen by a phantom, then the underwater lands, maybe even crystal sands, would likely be polluted with things like Phantom Goop, Phantom Water Clog Pipes, Phantom Sludge, and Phantom Poisons. I had a very close friend in crystal sands, her name was Emma, she's a clever penguin. I hope she's alright!

## Chapter three: The second jammer

Yesterday everything was perfectly fine! Oh, by the way, I'm Violet SunnyPenguin. I live in a Spring Cottage at Crystal Sands. I liked my den, it was very pretty. But then, phantoms began to take over the underwater parts of Jamaa! I've seen the same Phantom-Falcon swooping down for patrol almost every fifteen minutes... It's really irritating. The Phantom-Falcon will take the land/ocean animals with it sometime. I'm likely to be on the list, but since I don't have A in my name, I might still have some time to escape.

I think the phantoms will soon take Crystal Sands. If I can't find my friend Richard before then, I'm doomed. I've lived here my whole life, and surely the phantoms wouldn't stop at the seals, polar bears, and crocodiles living here. I'm anxious for Richard. He'd know what to do. He's brave and honest. He's rich and modest, but Richard never gets stuck-up and he's not at all selfish. He could just buy Crystal Sands back from the phantoms, and I mean it.

I really wished I had him, but I knew if I could stay calm and avoid my worries, I might just escape from here before it's too late. In a couple of days, the Phantom-Falcon will have daily patrol every five minutes. I can't possibly get through that, but I know I have to try. I look up to the skies, they're still not polluted. "Prey to Mira". I muttered as I bounded straight towards the exit to Crystal Sands, right where ten heavily-armed phantoms stood in my way.

Okay. You want good news or bad news first? Well, good news first: I'm not dead, and I'm only bruised. Alright, let's just confess the bad news: How I escaped? Well, I sort of escaped. Kind of. Instead of just entering the land besides Crystal Sands, I entered a pitch black place with no way out. Nothing was there, except for what appeared to be a glowing arctic wolf. "Wait, am I going insane, or is that"...?
