Nyx

"Who?" "Nyx, he is the man who is trying to get all the power of the gems." Said Fi "WAIT WAIT STOP! Gems? Creeps? Journey? Slow down!" "Well thousands of years ago, a man took control of a gem so a group of trained warriors took the gem from him and they locked the gem away but the power of the gem was craving a being to give its power to. In an effort to do just that it broke into pieces possessed seven beings" Amy said "We are the seven beings our real names are Ruby, Amber, Brazilianite, Emerald, Safire, and Amethyst, DON'T JUDGE THAT I HAVE A GIRL'S NAME" Brant added "It gave them individual powers to keep that man's family line in check, they all are trying to access the power of the gems." Emma scratched her nose, avoiding the piercing, in a way that made her look very nonchalant. Brant expanded "The gems return to their spot of origin and that is the time when they try to take their power" "That's when they were most vulnerable" said Beebee "It is our job to go every 100 years to go and keep their blood line contained, if the bloodline of this family has a child able to steal the gems the world could be in great danger. We accompany the gem guardian on her quest." "My mom said something about a journey but I don't know if I'm ready..." "You were made ready and we'll be by your side every step of the way." Beebee finished speaking and they all gathered together in a big group hug around me and I felt their warmth and started to cry. It was a cry of both joy and sadness. I was leaving my home and the people I love but I was with my friends and I was doing it for the greater good. I put on a pair of shorts, my stretchy hiking shorts that I used to use all the time when I was younger, and a loose t-shirt. I packed a bag full of clothes, food, water, a map and compass, and all the essentials and so did the rest of the gang. We walked out the door and I said bye to my mom and we left. We got on our bikes and rode around. I didn't know where we were going but I followed the gang. We were on a road to something big and I was not gonna back down now.
