Warriors of the Elements: The Meeting
He approached the five sitting in front of him. The table was semi circular, with the middle cut out so one could stand in the middle of the group. "We need action, and we need it now! Do we have any suggestions?"
One stood up. The body appeared to be that of a rock like behemoth. "Those humans! We have been protecting them for so many years! It's about time they did some of the work themselves!" The one sitting next to him tried to calm him down. "Petra. Down!" "What would you know, Urina!? You haven't had them walking all over you for centuries!" The water goddess raised herself from her chair and looked up at her mountain partner, "Yes... but that does not mean they have hurt me and my oceans too!" "Please... please!" Another stood up. He was old, with hair that surroundded a bald head, and a length of beard that reached to the middle of his chest. "We are here to decide how to help them. Only together can we do that!" "Nice speech Fulmen." A young lady's voice came up. "Now get off your soapbox and sit down." This young lady had fire red hair, all the way down the bottom of her back, but you couldn't tell. The way she was sitting, her feet propped up on the table. "You would enjoy that... wouldn't you Ignis?" The old man roared, a thunder storm started to brew up behind him. "Everyone sit!" A voice, louder than his boomed, and everyone followed his command. He approached the center of the table. In appearance, he seemed to be in the shape of a knight, clad in white armor, gold trimming with a cape to match. A helmet was covering his face. This was... The Guardian. "Petra, I think, has the right idea." Fulmen stood up, "Sir. Don't get me wrong, but the humans don't have the strength that we have, and we have been getting attacked over and over. We have all lost numerous battles with this foe. What makes you think they can be of any use?" "They have heart. And with that heart, if they truely love their planet, they will defend it." "They have heart... but no power." A dark raspy voice said. Everyone looked over to one dressed in a hooded robe, hiding his face like that of the guardian. "For once the old man is right." The guardian thought for a second. "Then we shall give them ours." The was a murmur of voices between the table. "Any objections?" Everyone looked at one another, but no one denied him. "Good, everyone choose one to guide." Petra stood and slammed the table, "I have made my decision! He is a young high school student, Mark Coutu! He has a heart as big as this rock he is living on!" Urina was the next to stand, "My mind is made up as well. Benjamin Opel will be my choice. He has a good head on his shoulders, I know he will want to help all he can." Fulmen was the third to stand, "My choice has been selected. Ariella Haskins! Call her forth and my powers shall be hers!" The hooded one looked up at the knight, "I, Ater, will give the power of darkness to Gerado Nguyen." They all looked to the fire goddess. She saw all the glances and sighed, shrugging them all off, "My decision is a girl by the name of Alex Darnen." The guardian took a step back. "They shall be summoned forth to receive the powers. Thank you all." He bowed at the five, turned around and walked away from them, vanishing. Mark was in a rush to get to his next class. He was the kind of student to be on time for all of his classes, but today was different. He ran through crowds of people trying to get to the right classroom. He had to run upstairs to get the books out of his locker, then back down to get to class. He had just reached the doorknob as the bell rung. He swang it open an looked inside to see... Blackness. After a few steps in, the door closed and disappeared behind him. "Uh... am I in the right room? Hello?"
