3rd POV
Long ago, in a faraway kingdom, there lived a happy family. The royal family of Anena, or as people not from there would say, Ephendria, had a gracious king, a rightful queen, and 2 Princesses.

The first had long, flowy red hair and sparkling blue eyes and always wore a red dress of any sorts and was named Janea.

The second had short but wavy and beautiful blonde hair and piercing emerald green eyes and always wore variations of blue dresses and was named Elliera.

One day the king had to leave to retrieve the magic jewels that made this land, for evil forces were soon going to get them.

On the way back from the 2 week trip, a treacherous storm came over the land. It caught everyone on the ship surprised but before they could turn the ship around a ginormous wave crashed down onto the boat. Sinking the ship and drowning anyone on board.

News got out and everyone was devastated. The kingdom mourned for their lost king, the queen hid from the world that day, even Princess Janea was heartbroken. The only one not to be as depressed as everyone was Princess Elliera.

It wasn't that she didn't care, it's just because she knew what purpose she must do now. Find out what her father was after.

After many trips to find the wreckage, she finally found what she was looking for. The jewels that made up her beautiful planet, Aclite.

She gathered them up and went back up to the surface and onto the boat she took. By this point it's been at most 2 years since the drowning of the boat that killed the king. And everyone was changed.

The kingdom was more joyous and helped even more then needed even the queen came out of her hiding, showing how great of a queen she could be. The only one who hasn't really changed was her older sister Princess Janea.

Janea was still heartbroken about her fathers death but instead of changing her for the better, she changed for the worst. She never let anyone in and she was furious that her sister keeps going off to find the things that killed her father.

After taking them home, Elliera knew she must hide them so she hid in her fathers favorite place, his laboratory. Even as king he had his hobbies. She dumped out the contents of the bag and immediately saw something more about the jewels.

They were magical.

She touched one of them and immediately it seemed the room went dark. Pitch black.

"Hello?" She couldn't help but feel safe but still worried about where she was until she saw an image.

On top of that image was a word. Crystems. Then on the bottom 2 words. Magic Initiative.

The picture showed 8 girls ranging from the age of 8-16. They all looked like friends Elliera noticed. And above them were the jewels she held.

"Why show me this?" The 15 year old couldn't help but ask. "What's so special about them all?"

The image changed and showed each of the girls one by one in the order of the rainbow it seemed.

The first girl looked about 10 years old. She had Strawberry blonde hair and baby green eyes. She had her hair down all the way to her mid back. She wore a pink crop top and some pink leggings to match.

The next girl looked almost like her sister. She looked 14 years old, but she felt like she was more an 18 year old. She had dark red hair that was up in a ponytail. She could only imagine how long her hair might actually be. She had light blue eyes and freckles all over her face. She wore a red t-shirt with a lighter red jacket overtop and red gloves and jeans.

This girl looked very similar to the last girl just with shorter hair and a different color scheme. She looked to be about the same age as the last girl, giving Elliera vibes that they are twins. She had more vibrant red hair and was down to about her shoulder blades. She also had light blue eyes but had no freckles. She wore an orange shirt dress with yellow or gold accents, some earrings, and some little blue jeans.

The girl after her had dark brown hair that faded to dark red and light brown eyes. She looked to be about 16 years old but she could tell she more chaotic then everyone so far. She had her hair up in a ponytail too but Elliera could guess that her hair would go about all the was down her back. She wore a dark green crop top with light green accents and some jeans.

The next girl had light brown hair up in a high ponytail with a light blue ribbon in a bow and hazel eyes. She looked to be about 15 or 16 and seemed to be the best friend of the last girl. She wore some blue fake flowers on her head and wore a light blue shirt with a fancy blue jacket overtop with some jeans.

This girl seemed not only to be much younger but also has a much darker color scheme. This girl looks to be about 8 or 9 but the way she holds herself up gives her doubts that she actually is. She has her dirty blonde hair up in a braid that transforms into a ponytail. She has grey or silver eyes and freckles on her cheeks. She wears a white shirt with a indigo shrug with her jacket tied around her waist and jeans.

The next girl almost seemed too bright considering the last girls scheme. Again this girl looked to be about 8 or 9 but she held herself up a bit differently then the others. She has bright blonde almost yellow hair and two different colored eyes. Her left eye is a baby pink and her right eye is baby purple. She wear a purple heart shirt with some jean shorts and some sunglasses on top of her head.

The last girl looked around 11 or 12 and had long brown hair tied into pigtail and light brown eyes. She wore a light grey shirt with a white overall skirt. She also had light grey leggings with some little white stars on.

Then it just kept going on, flickering to each girl in turn.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand." She kept her attention on the images quirk she realized that the jewels were glowing on their particular girl. Then her eyes widened with understanding.

"You're the Crystems." She then directed her attention to the Crystems.

"Go. Find them. When you think they are ready, return with them. I will be waiting for that day."

Then the Crystems flew out of her hands and left her. However, she knew there was a price.

Elliera would be frozen in time, stuck in this pitch black world, until they come home.

The Crystems then landed in a city called Silvermere in a little girls room. A little girl that would change the world.
