Flora was in a dream, and luckily it was peaceful.
But only remotely.
She was in a forest, which she immediately recognized as the Earth Forest. But it was far different.
The trees' leaves were now a jet black, smoke creeped from the sky, the plants looked dead, and the forest had a negative energy pulsing through its veins.
"Whoa," Flora sighed in amazement. She'd never seen any forest like this. "Who did this?"
"Lilith did," a voice like a whisper answered.
Flora looked around and then her eyes found a woman with short sunny gold blonde hair fading to green with blue streaks, palish skin, and earth brown eyes string back at Flora.
"What happened to you?" Flora asked the woman who was lying on the ground.
"Lilith did this to me," The woman answered and sat up. " My name is Coral, the Guardian of Earth and Water. I'm a Silver, one of the only Silver Guardians there is."
Flora's eyes grew wide. She'd never heard of a Guardian being a Silver, but that's just what this woman was. A Silver.
"So, do you know what happened to this forest?"
"Lilith is taking over the Element World, and once she gets the Moonstone she'll have it. If she gets the Moonstone, there will be no hope left." Coral explained, her eyes looking misty.
"You can't say that, you're a Guardian. Don't you have the power to stop her?" Flora asked.
"No, I don't have the power, and neither do the other Guardians. We haven't been summoned back into the Element World since the last Awakening, which was over four thousand years ago." Coral said.
This was unbelievable to Flora. She knew that if the Awakening occurs every one thousand years, this really tipped the scale.
"So, what's going to happen?" Flora asked.
Coral sighed. "I don't know."
Flora glanced at the woman's white dress. "Do all Guardians have to wear the same dress?"
"Yes, they do." Coral said.
Soon enough, a black mist came charging toward Flora and Coral, not stopping and going at a fast pace.
"That's Death Mist! It's worse then death itself! Run Flora!" Coral cried.
Flora hadn't even said her name, and Coral knew it. Why?
But Flora ran, the Death Mist charging after her.
And it got her.
