Chapter 9: Unexpected Meetings

Time had most certainly passed by, as a manner of weeks had passed as if it was nothing, and by then all 10 teens from another world could now maintain control of their abilities, as it seemed that the abilities were the elements that Sefina was somehow connected to all

Aldos had informed that hr ability was unknown so it was refrenced as Harmony, which was most certainly the dumbest title to give a power, but in a way it was understandable as she held both destructive and healing abilties connected to the other nine elements

To what element possessed showed within their training, as it occured to be obvious, their eyes glowed a certain colour along with their mark and their powers were unlimited, and to what extent their powers could protect them was unknown

But to what Element each possessed, Akane seeming like the obvious to what she possessed, was gifted the Element of Fire, and so far she can control the size and heat pressure of her flames and had to attack with Martial arts which Aldos was helping with, and surprisingly she could create different types of flame and for some odd reason consume flames

With her brother he possessed the Element of Ice, and he was quite in control and had the same control of size and temperature, and they've tested that he could withstand the cold for a long time much like Akane who can handle heat for a while, but another advantage was that he could track from water creating forms on events the water had encountered enabling what happened almost like a video

Ron and Nick had a surprising element with Ron with the element of the Moon, and Nick with the element of the Sun, no one understood at first to what could possibly be their abilities, but when giving that the Moon had ablities connected to time, and so far this was something based off Doctor who with the Time stone but it's something that is a living thing than an item, while the sun was energy converged, Nick could control few life forms and both give a mist of their energy which enables them to do illusions which can be done on a stronger scale together and mildly done by themselves

Louis being the Wind or Air element was able to produce strong currents of wind which could certainly knock someone out, and an extent to it was spirits apparently he could commute with life force of living things near a similar attribute that Jane possess but to a further extent, other uses were ways of cheating to get to one place

Evans, which was shocking (No pun intended) had control of the element of lightning, which you can guess to what standard of her power she had, but an extent was creating weather by will, and she could levitate to the heavens to control all that was in the sky

Obviously to the encounter with Torin, Jane possessed the element of Nature, and she was able to so far grow vines and control them or rather command as apparently they had a personality and life, she was also able to communicate with the trees and other life forms, create, and grow with a simple touch of the green

James, well had the element of Earth, he was able to levitate and cause minor earthquakes a similar ability to an Earth bender from ATLA or LOK, basically they all did, but there was a further connection for they were more like the element itself, which enabled him to control any mineral including Iron and Gold

Lastly was Lucy who possessed the Water element now she could control any source of water whether it was fresh, salt, swamp and liquid she could control, and a certain extent of her ability was hardening it to ice, and healing which took a lot of process, but with the help of herbs provided by Jane the treatment was more easy for both medic and patient

All had skills that were only a portion of the true powers they possessed, and it was only a matter of time to when they would use the full extent, that especially went to Iosefina who's been using her abilitiy helping all the Werewolves to control their form, and though this was a miracle

Many would try to use her for wants of power, so it had come to an agreement that no one should learn their whereabouts with the tribe, and all have played a part to keep them safe, and all could see that Sefina wanted nothing more than to remain by Axa and the other children

Laughter had filled the air along with arguing to who would win a battle between one another, as Sefina tried to meditate she was distracted by cheeky children who were chasing one another, and what was interesting the eldest was 9 and the youngest was a Raura who was 7-years-old same age as Axa only a month or moon younger than her

But even so Sefina deprived from her form of training and followed the children who were leading her to the waterfall not far from the clan, and would have two werewolf guards following for safety precaution

But the main reason was because they had to keep a lower profile since Evans accidently caused a storm out of nowhere causing panic in the village which could possibly bring higher ranks

As the Empire were religious people who saw them pure and others impure, especially Eldya since they had abilities of Natural elements and saw them as resources and tools than a nation or people

Hence why Aldos kept patrols on high alert for any humans for they were a danger to the young lives under his protection, though it was clear in conscript he showed it as he felt like a father to them even though they were biologically his

In legends the orignal Guardians and Goddess brought peace upon all nations, and all children were favoured in their eyes especially to the Goddess, and he swore on his life if anyone was to harm her he would feel like a failure to his ancestors who sworn to protect

And hearing their laughs filled him with pleasure he closes his eyes listening to the elements that surrounded him, and nothing was going to ruine it . . . or so he thought

~Meanwhile with other company~

As days turned into weeks nearing a month, a company of nearly 10 squads went to scout out for the Chosen one and the Guardians, and have not seen any sign of them, it wasn't until one day one squad found a clue to the source

Within an inn of a local village within the Northern territory, in a village called Millfalls, and from reports it was near a Werewolf tribe, and thus made it seemed unlikely the Chosen one and Guardians were here

Conversations broke out from left to right as a group of 7 came through the inn to obtain a room for themselves, in which many said

"I really hope another storm doesn't brew"

"Yeah that'd be annoying, it's the harvesting season now . . . and hopefully that girl doesn't trouble us"

That sentence perked one the Spymaster of the group, he makes way to a corner informing his leader with a gesture that he was to do his job, and with a nod he was sent off while another remained near but not too close

This left the remaining 5 to remain by the one called 'Commander Ulric' who was talking to the inkeeper, but with the spymaster who was picking up intel, and heard further news

"Mhmm that kid brought a storm with her I bet" The one who carried on with this theory toning down their voice to a hushed tone saying "I bet she was an Eldya" This caught the Spymasters full attention due to the fact that no one of Eldya had that level of skill with such an ability not even himself

"Mhmm . . . and I swear I was hallucinating but an old woman or what I thought was an old woman looked as if she had no wrinkles- and I swear I saw flowers grow in her footsteps from behind" They exclaimed

And this was only a part of the information he needed, it wasn't until a useful source from afar called out "Oi Boss do you think that Flamestone was eaten by Werewolves?" Someone asked and the guard of the Spymaster heard this and held another part of information

With what they had they had obtained accomadation and all made way to their room with enough beds for 4 in each room, so they paid 10 gold coins for both rooms for every night, as all came into the furtherest room there both Spymaster and Guard gave a report which toned down the possibilities of where their targets were

~Time Skip~

After the whole squad was informed Ulric concluded "If this is true then they are all perhaps nearby . . . and maybe just maybe if it's possible that they wouldn't be in the village, they would have had to find another establishment to stay safe and control their powers"

He informed adding "And the closest one nearby . . . would have to be the Northern Werewolf tribe" He told which became much more difficult to find them, as the Werewolves weren't fully on good terms with anyone, not since the Golden ages

But even more the tribes were in hiding, and not many can pinpoint to where they were as tribes of the Werewolf race would move to certain areas making it difficult for anyone to find more than one Werewolf or a Werewolf itself and live to tell the tale

The Healer of the group who was the Water Eldya, who had mild powers of healing with water and was more in depth of using herbs, whose name was Renoldus stated "This is going to be more difficult . . . if the Chosen One and her companions are here we need to scout ahead and now"

With that said there was an all agreement to that, and Ulric then gave a plan saying "Hmm yes . . . Owayne, Tankard, Ymeania, and Jervis. . . I want you four to find any other sources that could help use find them whether it be in the village or forests, understood?"

With their people's salute, they made way towards the exit

~Another Time skip~

As it was past lunch Jervis and Owayne their spymaster had paired up while the Earth and Wind Eldya assigned with their task checked through the village while they searched around the forests hoping to find a clue of some sort

And so far nothing for the past hour they've walked in the same direction marking we're they've been to where their gonna go, and nothing has yet to come into contact with the pair

Wonderings came deeper, and both did not know that their movement was being watched, by those who were protection the very people they were looking for, and so from a distance they watched but 1 of the 2 ran to alert the pack

From there it was unsure to how far these Eldya go, and if they were to find the pack . . . it would endanger the Chosen one and her friends, and that was the last thing they wanted, but if they acted they could cause further dangers for themselves than neccesary

And this was a decision their leader would take upon, and discuss with the others

~Jervis P.O.V~

This was bugging me, it's felt like we are searching for an invisible coin, which will never be found due to it being 'Invisible' now I know that this wasn't going to be easy but I kinda wished that the Chosen one made it easy for them

Scouring around I came to a halt as Owayne halted on the spot with his hand clutched in the air midway in line with his face he then pointed into the direction of the source and silently I follwed him

As we snuck close to the source it was then we could hear laughter of children, and perhaps the mother of the children I wasn't sure, but even so these were most likely Werewolves, and without trying to create any sound we had to walk extremely quitely due to the fact we were wearing armour and Werewolves had high sense of hearing, smell, and sight

When we came close enough we looked over a bush and what I saw shocked me to the core, as I spotted many children ranged from different ages, the major difference, was when I glanced over to a certain area, their on a rock near the lake was a young woman with white flowing hair

And her laughter sounded like an angels voice, that I thought I had died and departed unto the Heavens, but what was strange was that my heart began to have the feeling again to when the Chosen One arrived

I was about to speak before something hit me from behind knocking me out instantly but all I could remember was her

~Third person P.O.V~

To whom had knocked the Eldya scouts out were the scout who was continuing to watch them and his companion who had retrieved the Alpha who ordered to knock them out, Aldos gave a light growl to them finding Sefina but told his pack

"Take them back to the pack . . . we must go through hiding procedures. No exscuses" And like that as the pair carried the Scouts, Sefina had felt unknown presences nearby but was glad to Aldos who gave a tense expression meaning something was up

Standing tall with Raura in her arms making towards the Alpha werewolf, she asked politely "Aldos? What happened? I sensed . . . uninvited guests" She stated as she felt a panging in her heart, in which he replied with a grunt and growl

"We've been found . . . by Eldya scouts" He stated making her eyes widened, as these were the people they were warned to use them for their personal gain, though it was valid, it was too much to take for those who've arrived only a month ago

With a worried expression she told "Are we to return to the camp?"

"Yes, and the scouts will remain under surveillance, as well as any other comrades they may have, it is best you stay with the other pack members in case they escape" With a nod in understanding Sefina turned to the children telling them to quickly move and that they had to return home

But no matter panic was high in Aldos heart, and he prayed that the Eldya scouts come to an understanding, that the Guardians and Sefina were not objects in use of their needs, but even so a explanation could possibly work in their favour but the risks were high

He could only hope that to however this ends it was to be peacefully

But another who sees all, in a far distant location, one you would call a Seer foresaw all events that are to take place and how it would affect many, and upon seeing the reaction of Sefina's triumphant take on saving a bright future was ahead with dificulties that would be hard to heal from

And so they lastly said "You have a destiny Chosen one far more greater than life and death itself, be weary young one as this will not be an easy journey"

They told and to how things shall progress from here was uncertain but one could only hope that a mutual understanding would in the end, for that would bring peace and alliances to grow
