Zodiac Elemental Crisis

Calling all the Elements: Part One

Gemini sat on a cloud in the Air Sector, bored out of her mind. Aquarius left out of nowhere without a word and her eyes were doing that white flashy thingy. Libra was busy trying to train birds to bring his things to him. He didn't even know Aquarius was gone, he was so absorbed in himself. Gemini wanted to have a party with the other elements. She liked playing with Fire. Aquarius would never allow it though. She let out a sigh. Aquarius just didn't understand.

"I understand more than you could ever know," said an intimidating voice that was very familiar to Gemini having lived with it for all eternity, but it managed to frighten her like this all the same.  One would think it wouldn't be so unexpected by now.

"What the fuck?" Gemini screamed, practically jumping out of her own skin. "Aquarius! What are you doing here?  More importantly, why would you sneak up on me like that?!?"

"I live here?" Aquarius interrupted, rolling her eyes. Even though she was the most powerful and supposed to be the most mature, Aquarius loved messing with people's heads.  Especially those of Gemini and Libra.  It was all out of love though of course.

"Did you read my mind?" Gemini asked with panic. The last thing she wanted or needed was having Aquarius in her brain, snooping around for information.  The one thing she hated about her was her ability to know everything, find out everything, and know what was going on with anything or anyone at all times.  Aquarius could find out someone's deepest secret that they thought was hidden and locked up tight without a single word, let alone question. 

"Didn't have to, you were muttering it out loud." Aquarius stated. She reached a hand out towards Gemini. Gemini mentally face palmed.  Not her best moment.  Ugh why did Aquarius have to be right all the time and make her feel inferior?  "Come on, your wish might just come true."

"What do you mean?" Gemini replied, accepting Aquarius's hand. Both hopefulness and slight edge in her tone.  There was a moment of silence.  Gemini could tell Aquarius was deep in thought, searching for words to vocalize her answer with.  Gemini wondered how her brain worked; she'd love to just get in there and explore.  Not to sound creepy or anything, but she was intriguing.  She was also hiding something of her own...  Anyways, they had began walking to the entrance of the sky castle. It was a giant majestic mass of white and grey fluffy clouds with rainbows morphed together forming a sturdy building. It looked like it came out of a dream, well this whole world did honestly.

"I had a vision," Aquarius went on to explain as they entered the palace. "That's why I was in such haste earlier today, I wanted to warn the other majesties. You see, I sensed a presence that I've long since thought gone. One that almost ruined this very world. Do you sense anything different?"

"Well, I guess I do have this feeling of empty darkness or chaos creeping over our kingdom, but I figured that was just me." Gemini answered, recalling what she saw earlier as well.

"Gemini, what did you see?" Aquarius asked worriedly.

"Well, this morning as I went to the cloud spring to fetch a drink, I noticed that part of the Air Sector border had blackened and disappeared. I went to tell you, but you'd already teleported away." Gemini explained. She paused a moment as Aquarius sat down at her old writing desk. "You never said why my wish might come true..."

"Oh right, well I'm going to send out letters to each sector, summoning them to a meeting in the sky. I'll need you and Libra to prepare the entrances and castle for company." Aquarius declared, scribbling notes in haste to the other three kingdoms. "It might not be a party, but you could get your chance to play with fire." she added with a wink. Gemini blushed and walked away to find Libra. Aquarius finished up the last letter and whistled for her messenger owl, Nightwing. He took the papers in his beak and flew off. Now Aquarius just had to wait until the meeting tomorrow and hope Fire and Water kept their differences aside.
