Mia's POV
I woked up around five in the morning and put the clothes on that Zara left me yesterday. I started to pack up my things cause soon I'm leaving. Ok I packed my lil pocket knife, a map, the cards with the flowers and Zara told me that she'll give me some food. I just sighted and looked around. I still need to ask Zara to tell me what's written on these damn cards. And then learn this weird language. I grabbed my lil bag and slowly opened the door. I saw Zara. She was packing up some food. ' As I thought' But there was something on the table wrapped in a smaller black blanket. I walked to Zara and took the food. After packing it I said: ,, Zara can you please translate me these clues? And thank you for the food." I smiled. She just nodded and handed me a little piece of paper.,, I see you probably don't remember much from last night, right?" I just rolled my eyes and said: ,, Why?" I looked at the black blanket. ,, Because yesterday when you gave me those cards you asked me the same thing. So I wrote it down, but before I was able to give it to you, you fell asleep. So I'm giving it to you now.And it's a very special piece of paper. It'll change the clues right after you found the flower." She smiled. I just chuckled and rode the first clue. It said:
Deep in the woods, next to the hell,
Some people tried, but they all fell.
The flower that calls,
through the silent halls.
The fire is rising, hear what the man sings. Be always carefull, not too vengefull.
In the Mountains of Arazena.Wow, well at last I know where to find the flower. I took out my magical map( it shows where the person using it is located and also it changes the language to that what the user speaks) and searched the Arazena mountains. Oh noooooo, it's all the way on the northwestern side of Iris. That's a long way to go. But do I have a choice? Well not really. I sighted and putted the map back in my bag. I was about to leave when Zaras voice stopped me. ,, Mia wait please I have something for you!" I looked back at her with a curious expresion.She walked to the table and took the thing covered with the blanket.She took of the black blanket and it revealed two about 30 centimeters long daggers. Wow ,oh god I wanted something like this in my whole fucking life! ,, You know , the way to the location of the Fire Iris is very dangerous. Take them. Cause I'm sure you'll need to protect yourself on the way there. And also there is a lot of creepy and dangerous creatures out there. That's all I can help you with." She smiled but I saw that she's worried. I took them and Zara helped me to set them.( The daggers are designed to attach them to Mia's thighs for easier useing.) I was in a slight shock. I know I killed a wolf yesterday,but humans are humans. I don't really know if I'll be able to kill one. Yet.
I started to have a weird sensation all over my body. I looked at Zara and my vision came a bit blurry and I heard only Zara's mufled voice. Then something changed. I literaly jumped on Zara and started to choke her. I couldn't control myself. It felt like I need to do this. But soon I snapped back into the reality. I slowly stood up shaking slightly. Zara was breathing heavily and was holding her neck. But somehow she wasn't scared. ,,Z-Zara I'm sorry, I-I couldn't control myself. I don't even know what's h-happening." I shuttered. But she suddenly grabbed my hand and literally threw my on a chair. Then she took away the hair from my face and looked deeply in my eyes. She soon letted me go and said:,, I was expecting this. You seemed to have that." She rushed to her bookshelf and took out a huge book. She quickly walked back to me and sat down. I looked at the book. It was designed with ornaments of six main colors and about five under colors.
The main colors were Blue, Red, Green, Black, White and Purple. And the under colors were Pink, Yellow, Grey, Tan and Silver. Zara opened the book on an empty page and said:,,Mia give me your righ hand." I gave her my hand after a moment of hesitation. But I froze when she took out a knife. I tried to pull my arm away but she held it tight.,, Don't worry I just wanna find out something." She said calmly. Gosh how could she be calm? I almost killed her. And why do Zara need a fucking knife? She wants to sacrifice me to demons or someting ? Well at least kill me first. I soon felt a sharp pain in my hand. I looked at my hand as Zara slowly dripped my blood on the page of the book. Then she took out some bandages and pached me up. I was in a slight shock.,, Mia I need to tell you something really important." I just nodded. ,, Well this was a test to find out which power you have." My eyes widened. Wait power ? I'll turn into spider man or something? Being Batman would be cool.
,, B-But Zara what do you mean?" She didn't respond.
But turned the book to it's first page. There were the same colors as on the cover. I looked at her. ,, Some people here have magical powers. Every color that you see here represents a power. The Blue represents the power of water,the Red represents the power of Fire, the Green represents the nature power, the Black the power of the Darkness, the White the power of Ice and the Purple the power of Lightning. But if we combine two certain powers they can make an under power. Such as The power of healing which is represented by the Pink color, the power of sunlight is represented by the yellow color, the power of shadows with grey color, the power of air with tan color and the power of animals with the silver color. Also some colors are stronger that the others and the main colors are stronger than the under colors. The most strong powers are the powers of darkness, ice and lightning."I was confused. I must've looked at her like an idiot with widened eyes. But then I managed to say: ,, And why did you cut my hand then?" I was curious.,, Well thats how we can find out our powers. In every village of town there must be a book like this. " I just nodded. ,, And what did you find out?" I was a bit nervous. Zara looked at me. ,, I have known that you'll maybe have a power. I could feel it from the very beginning. But I couldn't make the power test until I was sure that you have power. But I wasn't expecting this kind of power." Zara must love keeping people curious. ,, Please stop keeping me curious and tell it." She opened the book again and it revealed a bright purple color. Zara was so excited about this. I was literally horrified with even the thought of having power because from the all movies I've seen the power was always something really hard to handle. ,, Mia you have the power of Lightning. It's one of the most rare powers in this world." I looked at my hand. Lightning? How? I'm not even from here. Or? This is .....really.....strange. I looked at the clock at it was almost half past six. I need to go now. I have to find a flower. I hugged Zara and said good bye. She seemed a bit worried but even if I want to I can't stay I need to find Zoe and the flower.Zoe's POV
I woked up around 2 am. I was always the first to woke up when we were in the orphanage. I always looked at the sun. It was just beautiful. The mix of yellow, orange and blue color made me feel relaxed. But now I wasn't looking at the morning sky. I won't probably even see it from here. I was packing some things before we go. But It's really early. After I pack my things I'll go and sleep a little. I don't want to be tired later. So when I packed my things I went back to sleep.

Zoe's dream
______________________________No. Just please tell me not an another weird dream. Last time I was in a similar place. No this place is not similar to it. It's the same! But hopefully now Mia won't get in a dangerous situation like last time. But now I couldn't move.Last time I was able to even run but now I fell like frozen. All I saw was the glade and an emblem carved into a stone up above me. It was a tree in a bigger circle. Then everything started to fade.
______________________________
I woked up calmly now. At least. I checked the time and it was almost 5 o'clock. I stood up and got dressed but suddenly I felt something really strange. I looked at my hands and they were......... FROZEN??! The hell , what!? I almost fell but luckily in the last moment I kept my balance. As I calmed down I touched the glass of the windov. As I touched it it froze. Oh god. I need to find Chris and fast. I opened the door and looked around. No one was there. Good. I quickly ran to Chises room and knocked on the door. Shit. Shit. Shit. Open please. The door soon opened and I saw Chris. ,, Good mornin- What's with your arms!!?!?!?!"I was just about to say something when Chris pulled me in his room. He went to a large bookshelf and took out a book. Then he came closer and grabbed my shoulder. ,, Sit on the bed please I need to check something." I did as he said. Soon he grabbed my arm and took out a knife.,, Chris?! What are you -"I felt a sharp pain in my hand. Chris slowly dripped some blood on an empty page of that weird book. Then he bandaged the cut. I looked at the book. It looked like literally frozen. Some beautiful ornaments were seen on the page. ,, As I thought. You have ice power." What? Ice? Seems strange.
______________________________
And then Chris told Zoe the same things as Zara told Mia. You know about colors. I just don't want to write it all over again.
______________________________I was confused like no tomorrow. I just looked at him with widened eyes. ,, But how can this even be possible. I'm not even from this world!?" I whisper yelled. ,, IDK seriously but look at the time. It's almost 5 and I haven't even gave you something I wanted." He walked to his closet and took out a sword. Oh dear god. It was beautiful. The handle was decorated with some ornaments and flowers. He helped me to attach it to my belt. Now I'm at least not vulnerable. Then Chris left a note on his desk and we headed out of the base.As we were walking in the forest I told Chris about my dream.
,, I think I heard about that emblem before. You know every village , town and city has it's own emblem. And I think I know where the village with that emblem is. But It's a quite long way to go." ,, Chris tell me do I have a fucking choice?"I looked at him with a serious expression.,, Well. No." He sighted. ,, Then let's go there."
