I can barely hear anything at all, with the crouds screaming as they do.

The wind is blowing my hair all over the place and I immediately regret not bringing a hair tie. I keep my hands in my jacket pocket, holding my dad's metal in my hand.

Unfortunately for me, I'm stuck behind crowds of stupidly tall people..

The screaming grows, and I assume the Legends are here.

Great..

"Reign, are you seeing this??", Axel yells over the croud from beside me.

Finally, I find a peep hole between two people's shoulders in front of me.

And I see them.

They stand on our stage, in the middle of our grand arena, shoulder by shoulder, backs straight as a rod.

I count four Legends at first. That is, before I notice a young boy beside the Legends. He stands a bit further away from the rest of them.

I tilt my head, and try to get a better view.

His hair, it's a strange sort of coloring. Black as night, I think. Eyes, dark and unknowingly distant. His skin is an odd light color, and his features are sharp, and presise.

I also notice something else about him..

He looks afraid. Maybe.

 
    "Hello all you lovely people!", one of the older Legends announces through a Mic. Her heels click against the pavement as she walks forward.

She has short blue hair, which reaches just about to her shoulders.  Her eyes are wide, with slight wrinkles around them, I see. Her skin is tanned lightly, and she looks way over exited to be here..

Strange.

 
  "For those of you who don't know, my name is Tara!", she smiles a sort of professional smile. Although, I see the fakeness blazing through.

How annoying.

     "I am the Earth Legend", she starts,
"Therefore it is up to me to insure this world's diversity is in safe hands.

She demonstrates her point by making a small flower bloom right out of thin air. And I simply will not accept the fact that I was amazed. Just for a moment.

She plucks the flower, and makes her way off the stage, her steps slow and delicate.

Shes coming towards us?

The crowd moves past as she makes her way through.

People in front of me start going every direction, clearing the path for their Legend. Pathetic, I think.

The Last two people move out of the way in front of me and I realise, she's come to me.

I cannot help but be in awe as I look up to be met with her warm eyes. She places the small bloom delicately in my hair.
She smiles.

   "It is up to the people, to be our everyday Legends. Thank you all"

She turns sharply on her heels, then goes right back on stage.

Axel stares at me like I've just grown another head.. and he isn't the only one.

I reach up slowly and feel the flower with just the tips of my fingers. I feel.. odd.
