"Whoa indeed!!" He said as if he knew we would react that way.
"That is huge!!" Dominic said still in shock. I did agree with him. The castle took up most of the landscape.
The castle (from what I could see) looked very high tech for being in another realm. There were a lot of windows,and the main color was gray. It looked almost like a futuristic collage to me.
We were now approaching the castle. I was almost exhausted from carrying my luggage so far. I heard a noise behind us. It sounded like the trees groaning in the wind but much louder. Dominic heard it too because his grip on my hand (which he was still holding) tightened.
Dominic and I turned around. What we saw was the most amazing thing ever! It was a person composed completely out of the Element of Earth!
"Who sent you?" Asked Mr. Alfred in a very loud and demanding voice.
"We have been sent by Lord Lem," they replied in very deep voices, "to help you get into the school. We have updated our systems security and you will now have to be escorted," they began walking towards us in a zombi like fashion.
I was rather terrified at first but I understood they were here to help us,so I could not panic too much.
They grabbed our luggage (thank goodness!!) And took us to the castle. Dominic never let go of my hand the entire time. I did not know if he was aware he was still holding it,or if he was just as scared as I was about what was happening.
We finally got to the school grounds. There was a nice lush garden in the front,and right in the middle there was a fountain. Dominic and I walked up to it. I dipped my hand it it. The fountain reacted by spewing the water right at us,and we ended up being drenched. I felt rather embarrassed I had no idea it would do that.
"Didn't you read the sign?" One of the Earth men asked me, "it says if you touch the water you will get sprayed,"
I felt extremely stupid for not seeing the sign,it was directly in front of the fountain!
"Here let me help you," Mr. Alfred said while laying a hand in us both. He drained the water off of us. We were now completely dry.
"Thanks!" I said in amazement.
"That's pretty nifty!" Dominic said.
We were now directly outside of the castle about to go in. I noticed pillars of with different Elements floating above them. Water had a water drop above it, fire had a flame, ice had a snowflake, earth had a leaf,and wind had a small tornado spinning around and around in one place. I was tempted to go and touch them but since the incident with the fountain I was not gonna risk it.
We entered the school. I was absolutely amazed at how beautiful it was on the inside. It looked like we were in the food court type of area. There was a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling,five long tables with white table cloths covering them,and wooden cushioned chairs around them. The room was well lit by the chandelier. It felt very comfortable in this room,everything seemed to be right.
"Welcome!!!" Said a loud voice. I had been so caught up in looking at the room and all that was in it I did not notice the man approaching us.
"My name is Lord Lem! And I am the schools head master,principal, or whatever you want to call me. Within reason mind you!" He said laughing. Lord Lem looked like he was about 6'3,had white hair,hazel eyes, very light tan skin and, hardly no eyebrows at all. He looked very intimating to me.
"Nice to meet you!" I said extending my free hand. He took it and shook it happily, "my name is Rachael Levi,"
"Rachael Levi!?" He said sounding very surprised, "You look exactly like your father!! You have his tan skin,dark curly hair,smile,and those beautiful grey eyes!!" He said. It felt like meeting a long lost grandpa. I was afraid he was gonna pinch my cheek next.
"He was my best student," he said, "how is he doing?"
"I have no idea,my Lord," I said sounding very disappointed that I could not tell him, "he vanished ten years ago,"
"I... I'm so sorry! I had absolutely no idea," he said coming up and hugging me. This was the most awkward thing ever in my life. I was holding hands with a boy I just met,and now an old man who knew my father was hugging me!
"And who are you?" Lord Lem asked Dominic after he got done hugging me.
"I am Dominic Xavier," he replied, "nice to meet you," he said extending his hand. Lord Lem shook his hand as well.
"What Elements do you two have?" He asked us.
"We're not sure," said Mr. Alfred, "I am very sure Mr. Xavier here has fire. But as for Rachael I am not sure. But my best guess would be water. She shows a great deal of intelligence!"
"We'll just have to find out won't we?! Follow me!" He said while walking away.
"Wait! what do you want us to do with our luggage?" I asked.
"Just leave it there for now! It'll be fine!"
We followed him to a room which was made completely out of stone. It looked like the dungeon but happier somehow. There was a large circle carved in the floor. And in that circle there were six smaller circles. Five around the edges and one right in the middle. Inside each of the five circles on the outside was carved a picture of one of the Elements. The circle in the middle was blank.
"Come!" He said gesturing to Dominic. Dominic just then realized he had been holding my hand the whole time and blushed like crazy. He released my hand and walked towards the circle.
"Stand in the middle circle and let's identify you," Lord Lem said. Dominic walked to the center circle and stood there for a moment. Nothing happened immediately. But I noticed a circle lighting up. It was the fire one!
"You have been identified as a Fire Lad!!" Lord Lem said excitedly, "just like me! You're turn,young lady! I am very anxious to see what you get!"
Dominic walked out of the circle as I walked into it,and walked over to where I was just standing. I stood in the middle circle. All of the circles lit up immediately. Even the big circle and the small circle I was standing in!
I looked over to Lord Lem. His jaw was dropped. I had no idea if this was good or bad. I also looked over at Mr. Alfred and Dominic, and they had the same expressions as well.
"You," Lord Lem began, "possess all seven Elements!!!"
