The Elementalist Project

Chapter 7

Okay, so i forgot to mention that our camp has a seer. Sorry about that
The seer was supposed to issue prophecies and have glimpses of the future and stuff like that. At first, i couldn't help myself. I imagined the seer to be some blind lady in old worn clothes and black hair with a red cloth covering her eyes.
That's what i get for playing Fable Journey on the Xbox 360
But no, our seer was different. For one thing, she wasn't blind. She could see, mind you. She had long blon, teal eyes, and she was about our age. She wore clothes like a regular teenager. Plus, she seemed pretty normal to me.
She lived in the camp since she was an elementalist too, but she wasn't one of the Chosen. You see, we Chosens have a mark. A symbol at the back of our necks. The mark looks like what each of our elements are. A flame. A water droplet. A stone with vines. And like that.
Mine is like all of those in a circle those combined in
Her element was Magic. Her course was, obviously, divination.
Her name was Lizzie Jones from Manhattan
She lived in a cabin of her own where she spends most of her time
Magmis led us to her cabin where Lizzie was sitting on the edge of her bed. She was wearing a plain green Elementa T-shirt with gray jeans plus black and gold Converse sneakers. Her brown hair in a braid
"Hello, Lizzie." Magmis greeted "I'd like you to meet the Chosens. Scarlett, Jack, Ryan, Amanda? Meet our camp seer."
She smiled "Nice to meet you guys. My name's Lizzie"
"Is it true you can see the future?" Jack asked
Lizzie nodded "Sort of like glimpses. Also, I occasionally speak prophecies. Like the one i spoke just minutes ago."
"Would you please recite the prophecy again, Lizzie?" Magmis asked
Lizzie smiled and closed her eyes. Then, when she spoke, her eyes glowed bright teal and she spoke like a dozen voices at the same time
She spoke:
"A treasure lost shall now be found
To find a soul safe and sound
The knowledge sought contained in a book
Secrets of thousands of years all in one nook
A blade in cased for thousands of years
The one that was chosen will come near
A soul that was lost will be found
And see it rest safe and sound
A darkness will rise from the depths of the flame
The start of the war, no one can contain."
Then the glow in her eyes stopped and Lizzie was back to normal
"That." Jack said "Was creepy."
"There you have it." Lizzie said proudly with a bow "Congratulations. You have your first quest."
"I have already informed the council that you four will be leaving for the quest." Magmis said
"What treasure does the prophecy mean?" I asked
Magmis answered "We suspect that the treasure is one of our most precious items in he history of the Elementalist race. It is called the Elementarium. A book hat contains all the secrets of the elmentalists and more. It has been lost for centuries and no one has found it. Children, if this truly is the treasure, thsn this quest is even more urgent. If it fell into the hands of the rebel elementalists... Who knows what they could do. Thats why you have to leave now."
"Wait." I said "Were leaving but we don't even know where to start!"
Everyone seemed to realized this too
Then, Magmis snapped his fingers. He pulled out something from the pocket of his pants. It was a blank piece of ripped parchment
"This," he said proudly "Is all we had left of the Elementarium."
"Its a paper." Jack said
Amanda snorted "Great job, Sherlock."
"It was an original piece of the book before it got lost about... A few thousand years ago." Magmis continued "It will lead you to the Elementarium. But i must warn you, Children, the dangers are nothing you can imagine."
"Lucky for us we're all crazy. Right?" I said, smirking. I took the paper Magmis handed me "Not to worry, Magmis. We've been on the streets for, what? A year now? And we're all alive."
"The last time we had you rescued." Magmis added
"But we're still alive."
Magmis sighed "Alright. But be cautious, children. That place . . . well, may you destinies bring you prosperity."
Then, some Elementa officer came in rushing in the door
"What is it?" Magmis asked
"Sir," he said "Its the rebels. They've hailed us. They requesting for the Chosens personally."
