The Fight for the Water Crystal.

Chapter 1

As Elea finished her shift for the day Fortis came rushing over with a stack of books in his hands. "Hey! What do you think you're doing!?" she yelled. Fortis swiftly turned around and dropped the books in surprise. "Elea?" he croaked. "Yes, Fortis, it's me. What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be on your vacation?" said Elea. Fortis shook his head. "Flight delayed to next week." Elea groaned. She had expected a wonderful holiday Fortis-free. "Great," she mumbled. "You finished your shift?" asked Fortis, picking up the books. "Yes. Why?" said Elea. Fortis smiled nervously. "You'll see," he said, thrusting a letter at her. Before she could ask, Fortis had already fled.

"Good day?" asked Elea's mother. Elea grunted. Then she threw her bag across the room. "No. Fortis," she said. Mrs Jones grinned. "He really can work you up sometimes," she said. Elea rolled her eyes and snorted. "Please. He's just annoying!" she yelled. "OK, OK!" said Mrs Jones. Then Elea ran to her room and opened the letter.

Dear Elea Elle Jones,

I am writing to inform you that you have to be at the apple tree by 12:30, Thursday. Fortis and some other members will meet you there. Wear your best clothes. Keep it a secret!!!!

Kind Regards,

E.Mackay

Elea snorted. This had to be a prank. Anyway, who was E. Mackay anyway? She scrunched up the letter and threw it in the bin. Slowly, she drifted off to sleep.

"Yes, Fortis. Oh, Candidus, of course!" Elea was woken up by the commotion happening outside. She blinked. It was already the morning and she had missed dinner! She immediately got out of bed and brushed her teeth. Then she changed into a black top, navy blue jeans and jade-green socks. Knock. "Yes?" called Elea. The door creaked open, revealing Fortis in a tuxedo. "FORTIS? What? Why... you can't..." spluttered Elea. "You can't wear that. Wear a dress," said Fortis. A girl with fair white skin and long brown hair snickered. Fortis groaned. "Elea... meet my sister. Candidus."
