~Prologue~

    "..."

     Celeste stood silently with her mother as she hugged her father's grave. Yet another paranormal attack led to another tragedy in Zephria City. Some fled while others tried to fight it off, but to no avail. As the days go, the beast's numbers grow, and grow; hungering for more of the uncommoners' blood. Indeed, she and her family were a part of the population of uncommoners, those who possessed remarkable abilities. It was both a blessing and a curse, having been said. The young girl wiped her eyes, looking up at her mother. "Mom...", she began, "will... we ever be safe from all those monsters...?" Said parental figure sighed as she sat down next to her child, giving her a kiss on the forehead. "I don't know, but I'm sure there will come a time when some of us uncommoners will fight back the beasts and criminals that scamper along our streets." With that, she stood up, mustering all the strength that she could to give her daughter a smile. "Come now, my little star... I'm sure your father wouldn't want us to be all gloomy and such." She nodded, running up to her mother as she took one last look at her father's tombstone.  

'...I'll make sure one day, Orion... one day, you WILL be avenged...'

Celeste...?

Celeste.

"EARTH TO CELESTE GALAXIAS, DO YOU COPY???"

   "W-Wha... mom...?" She mumbles as she sits up still groggy from her slumber. 

   "Goodness child, you need to learn that I can't always be your personal alarm clock." Her mother  sat next to her, running her hand through her vibrant purple locks. "You sure took a while to wake up; but there isn't any time to talk, you'll be late for school!" It took a minute for the teen to comprehend what her mom had just said, but once it did... "OH NOOO, I TOTALLY FORGOT!!!" She immediately gets out of bed to get ready, quickly apologizing for sleeping in. the older figure chuckles and brushes it off, saying she best hurry before the bus comes and leaves and before her breakfast gets cold. After several minutes of frantic showering and preparation, she goes out of her room and quickly sits down to scarf down her breakfast. "This", she says in between bites, "is so GOOD!! YOUR PANCAKES ARE THE BEST, MOM!!!" Her mother smiles and just mumbles to not talk with her mouth full. After finishing, she heads upstairs to brush her teeth. "Now, you got all your school supplies?" Celeste nods, smiling as she puts on the bow which compliments the school's uniform. "Good, now you best be going; you might miss the bus." She quickly leans in to give her little star a kiss on the forehead as she opens the door for Celeste. "I love you, little star! Have fun! Make new friends! Listen to the teachers and staff! Stay out of trouble!" She nods and wishes her goodbye, running out the door. 'My last year at Spring Gardens Elementary,' she thought to herself, 'I hope nothing goes wrong...'

"Hold up... I can hear someone crying..."                                                                                                                       "...Flame... don't-"                                                                                                                                                 "Aqua, I'm not going to stand by and watch anymore. Too many kids are getting bullied here, and the teacher's here don't even notice CRAP! Someone has to do something." And with that, she ran towards the sound of the crying, leaving her to chase after her.

"F-Flame, wait...!"

................................................................................................................................................................

LEAVE HER ALONE!!!!!

So much for "nothing going wrong"... sorry, mom.

  The bully clicks his tongue in annoyance as two girls runs up to where she heard the crying. One being the one that wants to help the poor thing, and one that's trying to prevent her from helping. "Tch... you're both a waste of my time. Guys, let's ditch." She shoves past his little popular group and tells them to buzz off, saying they'll get what's coming to them soon.

  "...Hey, are you alright? Do you want me to take you to the nurses' office?" Celeste opens her eyes and looks up only to see a girl her age with wavy, mahogany-red hair with several scarlet highlights and soft red eyes. The girl next to her had short, light blue hair with muted purple highlights on the tips. She also had long bangs that went up to her shoulders and one that covered a small proportion of her right eye. She also had faded purple eyes to match her highlights . 'They look pretty,' Celeste thought to herself. "Sure..." With that, the redhead and silent blue-haired girl help her off and take her to the office, attempting to make small talk with her. "Sooo, I believe you're the one in 5th grade that always gets high remarks besides that one nerd Breeze Windlee and the grade sweetheart Lily Thornaville... Celeste Galaxias, amirite?" "Wow...", Celeste says in awe, "you're... good at guessing..." The redhead then laughs and thanks her for the compliment. "I get that a lot. I know this school like the back of my hand. Just by looking at someone, I can tell if they're fake, or real if you get what I'm saying." The purple-haired girl looks at her in amazement. Could she really do that? "Umm... I know you don't really know me, but... can I ask you a question...?" The two stop as they look at her. "Shoot, I can take it." Celeste tilts her head in confusion but then shakes it off. "Are... you and your friend an uncommoner...?" The two look at each other and look back at her. Suddenly, the silent one speaks. "...You... could tell...?" Celeste then quickly retracts her question, worried that she may have struck a nerve. Quiet kids are not ones to be messed with, after all. "Hey, don't worry about it! It's cool, but to answer your question... yes. We are uncommoners, and-" Suddenly, realization suddenly struck the redhead in the head. "OH SHOOT, WE NEVER HAD A PROPER INTRODUCTION! I'm sorry!" She then clears her throat and flashes her a smile. "Name's Flame. Flame Fallenfire. This is Aqua, my adoptive sister. She's not really good with interacting with people, so she just tends to stay silent most of the time." Celeste's eyes then comically bulge out of her face. 'They look... nothing... alike... OH MY GOD YOU IDIOT, THAT'S RUDE-' "A-Ah, cool... you already know my name, so... I guess we're done with introductions...?" They both nod. "Totally!" "...yes." 

...

...

"...Alright enough talk, let's get you to the nurses' office."

................................................................................................................................................................

   That was only the beginning of her path of friendship, for soon then, she had befriended both Lily, and Breeze. The five became a whole friend group, and after graduating elementary school and going into middle school, all have learned that they all possess a special ability in them, claiming them as "The Uncommon Quintuples", the name provided by Lily. Unbeknownst to them, someone watches from afar... someone in particular that Celeste did NOT like at all. 

Their name?
