Story
The Stones of Ravloc. There are many different theories as to where they come from. Many say they are the embodiment of Gods, others say they are the last remnants of an ancient race. All that can be said for certain, however, is that they hold great power.
For indeed, each of these stones has an element, one of seven, fire, earth, water, darkness, light, wind, and nature, of which each can command respectively without fault. However, by commanding this power, one must also command the spirit dormant within it, Feuilles, guardian of Fire, Avalan, guardian of Earth, Aqua, guardian of Water, Obscura, guardian of Darkness, Lumia, guardian of Light, Zephyr, guardian of Wind, and Arbri, guardian of Nature.
The guardians to a holder of a stone and to the others viewing it, appear as humans, indistinguishable from any other. However, this can only happen if the stone is in the possession of someone. If it is taken away, then the spirit shall go back into the stone, and its human shape shall not appear until it is held again. Thus why stone will always seek a person to take them, regardless of whom they are.
However, this does not mean that their power can be used by said person, for the Guardians shall only give their power to one they trust, and some spirits warm less quickly than others. Indeed, some may even say that the stones of Darkness and Nature are too trusting, or appear to be, manipulating their holder to do as they will them. Their reason? To protect the secret of the spirits, which must not be found out.
But darker days are coming. Darker days that only the stones, the spirits, their holders and the secret can put right. Of course, the bringer of these darker days will not be gone without a fight, or indeed not without stealing a few stones…((Credit goes to Beckithewatermage for the plot and original RP))

The Evil One
Other
-----
Username: Zennarion
Name: Ravi Säde
Gender: Male
Age: 18
Weapons: A sword and a small dagger
Personality: He don’t really trust anybody, but once you’ve earned his trust, he will trust you blindly… This is probably also his biggest weakness since it makes it a lot easier to deceive him. He is a very calm guy and won’t lose his temper very easily.
Sexuality: Hetero
History: Ravi was born into a small village community, the son of a farmer. He grew up learning his father’s trade, and he also tried to train himself in fighting too using the farming tools as weapons.
Coming from quite a large family, when his father died, Ravi decided to leave the farm, thinking his brothers could deal with it, and seek a greater calling as a treasure hunter. He now searches old mansions, castles and forts looking for undiscovered treasure.
Stone Holder of: Light
Appearance: Ravi Säde
Other: N/A
-----
Username: beckithewatermage
Name: Lumia
Gender: Female
Age: She appears around twenty
Power: Able to manipulate the light into a weapon. Can also heal.
Personality: She can be rather aloof and boisterous at times, as you would expect one to be after being trapped in a stone for a few centuries, but once she settles down she can become very calm, mature and level headed. She can often see a good side to people, which can often lead her to trust them rather quickly.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
History: It’s hard to remember things when you have been alive for centuries, and so she cannot remember any time other than being in the stone. She guesses that that must be how she was created, just from a stone, and so has not really contemplated the fact that she may have been cast into it somehow from a non-restricted existence.
However, all of the people that have held her stone have been good, and indeed she was in service to a particularly nice noble family, even gaining herself a room in their home. However, once she had seen through the fifth head of the estate, they were overthrown by a political overruling, leading her to be stuck in a stuffy treasury until she was found fifty years later by a servant.
Lumia has never met another of her kind, however, and so has no idea about Darkness and Nature’s plot.
Stone of: Light
Human Appearance: Human Lumia
’Trusted’ Form: Trusted Lumia
Other: She loves cats.
-----
Username: x_Haunted-Fate_x
Name: Avalan
Gender: Female
Age: Appears 19
Power: Able to control the stone and earth around her, and create tremors. Also has a large amount of strength.
Personality: After being stuck within a stone for such a long period of time, Avalan learned quickly to always maintain her calm. Extremely tolerant, nothing ever gets her upset unless someone damages the earth or her stone holder. Fiercely loyal, she would do anything requested of her by anyone she trusts. Being as meditative as she is, Avalan can often sense who she can really trust and who she cannot, though even then she is sometimes deceived.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
History: Being a Guardian isn't an easy thing. However, it's the only life Avalan can remember. Perhaps she was already born within the stone? Or did she have an outside life long before any of this? Was she ever anything of a great important to the earth? Not really one to dwell on past wrongs or unknowns, Avalan focuses on what's in front and ahead of her.
So far as the stone holders go that Avalan has been in possession of, they exist on opposite ends of the personality spectrum. While most of her stone holders have been just as peaceful as herself, every once in a while she would be placed into the hands of one who tended to have more moody and disastrous outward appearance. However, although they could be unpleasant to most others, Avalan occasionally finds that one trait that allows her to trust them.
With a policy to stay out of the affairs of things she feels does not concern her, Avalan has virtually no knowledge about whether or not there are others like her. Though she has her suspicions, she keeps them to herself without really dwelling upon them.
Stone of: Earth
Human Appearance: Human Avalan
’Trusted’ Form: Trusted Avalan
Other: N/A
-----
Username: xDaishox
Name: Aqua
Gender: Male
Age: Nineteen
Power: Able to summon and manipulate water, and also to freeze it. Can purify diseases.
Personality: Aqua is distant and doesn't like to get too attached to things as he knows they are always fleeting. He doesn't mind a scrap or two every now, which annoys him when his powers are used only for purifying diseases. Many things interest him but many do not gold his attention for a long time. He goes by the motto 'It is what it is'. If, however, Aqua respects his stone-holder as a person he will trust them and eventually grow to like them as a person.
Sexuality: Bisexual
History: Aqua used to be a good-mannered person, that was until he was passed on through many people. He used to get attached to whoever his stone holder was and make the best of times with them before they died, for they always died in the end. Now is a different story. The years made him create a front of indifference, moving through his life in stone, as would a river through a forest. Many things may fall into his stream's course and perhaps even deter it slightly, but never ultimately effecting his destination. The only problem was he never knew what his destination was - he'd always just figured he was headed there.
Aqua had never the misfortune of falling into the hands of evil people as for a big part of his life he was treated as a family heirloom. He was passed on and forced to watch his previous stone-holders die of old age until a particularly careless heir lost him. He had no idea where he was for the longest time but eventually someone else found him and the same old cycle began.
Stone of: Water
Human Appearance: [Aqua]
’Trusted’ Form: Trusted Aqua
Other: He's a sucker for sweet treats and pastries.
-----
Username: IGmangachick
Name: Fleuris Confier
Gender: Female
Age: Eighteen
Weapons: Throwing knives and a long staff.
Personality: Fleuris is frail and weak, but high spirited and always tries her hardest. She tends to be sickly and through much of her childhood was bed ridden, but she never dares to let that stop her from doing anything. There’s never been a girl with more spunk and pizzazz than Fleuris. She perseveres in everything she does and works her hardest to make friends, but often it’s an exhausting effort and leads her to a moment of apparent weakness. Despite illness, however, her greatest weakness is her excessive faith in people. No matter who they are, she always believes there’s a greater good in them and with undying faith lends her trust to even the most dangerous of criminals. It takes a lot to make her turn her back on anyone.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
History: Fleuris is one of a set. As a very young child she had an identical twin sister, someone she wished she had been able to grow up with. As infants and young children both Fleuris and her sister Cerise were weak children. They spent a majority of their time indoors, and were homeschooled due to their inability to leave their own beds much of the time. On their fifth birthday, Cerise yet again grew ill, but unlike her dear sister, it was not something she would be free of in time. With a brilliant, youthful smile, the young girl had taken a single pained step out of her sheltered bedroom beside her sister, only to fall to the floor. Her hand gripped her heart and blood passed her lips while Fleuris stood and watched, uncertain of the sight before her. Young Fleuris receded into their shared room for an additional extended period past recovery from illness for fear of the same fate.
After weeks of waiting for news at the hospital bedside, it was noted to the family that Cerise was to pass. Not from any fault of her own, she had grown severely ill and passed on after a few weeks of failed treatment. Though painful news, it was not a thing to plague them forever. Sometime after her sisters passing, young Fleuris sat in her room without any intention of seeing sunlight. It took nearly a month of coaxing from her family to draw her from her room, but the moment she stepped out, she swore never to be bed ridden with illness again. She never again wished to see the walls of her own bedroom; a dear vow she took upon herself at the age of five, despite her weak constitution.
Following the accident, young Fleuris flourish into a bright young girl, swearing all her good work on her sister’s name. She had many promises to keep to her late counterpart, ones she would not turn down under any circumstances. Throughout the years that followed she took advantage of every moment to better herself for the benefit of bettering her own health and keeping her vow as long as she was able.
Stone Holder of: Nature
Appearance: Fleuris
Other: She’s easily drawn to pretty flowers and floral scented perfumes.
-----
Username: MercenaryGrax
Name: Sean Leslow
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Weapons: 2 lightweight daggers (used mainly for their speed) and a longsword
Personality: Sean can be a bit of a jerk sometimes. He won't hesitate to call somebody an idiot if he feels they are and if he sees somebody being rude he will call them a jerk or worse. This young man cares for people however and is eager to protect those in need of protection.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
History: Sean's parents were killed shortly after he was born. He was raised by a pair of kind people after they found him laying alone in the woods where he had been dropped. Without questioning why the young baby boy was laying there, they took him home and took care of him as if he was their own. If not for a locket that Sean had laying about his neck, they would have never known his name and would have given him one of their own choosing. For years, Sean felt that he was truly one of them and was their birth child.
However, due to a variety of differences between the boy and the people of the village, Sean came to learn the truth in his early teenage years. He looked nothing like his adopted parents and acted far different from them as well. The list of differences could go on and on for hours. After learning how they had come to possess him as their child, Sean understood, but kindly asked that he be allowed to leave in search of the reality behind what happened to his parents.
Three years have passed since his time of leaving, and Sean holds four mementoes left to him by his adopted parents as means of a parting gift. Two lightweight daggers given to him by his mother, a longsword given to him by his father, and the golden locket that he always wore around his neck. Little does he know about his destiny as one of the stonebearers. Sean has no idea about what fate has in store for him, but no matter what lies ahead he will continue to fight forward in search of his past.
Stone Holder of: Wind
Appearance: Sean Leslow
Other: Nothing.
-----
Username:Prideful_Ignorance
Name: Obscura
Gender: Female
Age:22
Power: Able to manipulate shadow so that it can be used as a weapon. Can also inflict pain and merge with shadow.
Personality: Obscura generally is a very mellow person. She never gets overly upset unless you threaten her holder. Then she may just kill you. She hates being stuck in the darkness. Her temper is horrible, but it is hard to make her temper flare. She has a tendency to sound hateful when she really doesn't mean too.
Sexuality:Straight
History: All Obsucra has every really known is the darkness. With her stones evil look to it nobody really wanted it. She can remember a time where she was with a stone holder, but he was after exactly what she thought, power. All he wanted was her power. Obscura was quite devastated to say the least. She was unwanted for anything, but war.
After the stone holder died, (and failed at his quest) she hardened her heart. She now doesn't trust as easily as she did before; she merely manipulates her holder into doing the things she wants.
Stone of: Darkness
Human Appearance:Obscura
’Trusted’ Form: Trusted Obscura
Other:N/A
-----
Username: -Exotified-
Name: Zephyr
Gender: Female
Age: Eighteen
Power: Able to manipulate the wind and has heightened speed. Can also rub the air particles together and make lightning.
Personality: Zephyr is a very compassionate and caring person. She is social and makes friends with everyone, but the ones who really gain her protection are the people who she really trusts. However, even if her stoneholders are mean on the outside, she has a soft spot for them and will trust them anyway. Extremely tolerant, nothing upsets her unless it's something she's really passionate about. Despite her seemingly fragile nature, she is fully capable and rather good at fighting.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
History: Zephyr's stone was originally placed into the hands of a benevolent king a very, very long time ago. As was tradition in those days, the stone was passed on from generation to generation. While most of the stoneholders she was entrusted with to were kind, many were brutal to those of lower status than their own. However, Zephyr followed almost every whim that overcame them. Nevertheless, because she is a loving person towards everyone, some of the individuals disliked her for not following some requests. Perhaps the worst was when she was asked to kill, and yet she refused. Upon her refusal, Zephyr witnessed the transaction of her stone for money, and was sold to a treasure hunter. Ever since then, she has been stuck inside of her stone, not quite sure of what would ever happen to her next.
Stone of: Wind
Human Appearance: Zephyr
’Trusted’ Form: Trusted Zephyr
Other: Though her eyes are usually almost a pure white color, if she becomes angry they turn a stormy gray.
-----
Username: Destined Disaster
Name: Lillium Sunderly
Gender: Female
Age: Twenty
Weapons: A chain weapon, a customized dagger, and a set of throwing stars.
Personality: Lillium is many things, but adoring is not one of them. When it comes to settling disputes, she would much rather come to a decision through a good ol' fashion fist fight before anything else. Having a bit of a sardonic nature, she has no problem outright telling people her opinion if she feels strongly about the subject or if she's asked. However, despite her somewhat brutal emotional appearance, she does usually tend to be polite to people if they have done nothing to upset her. Though it takes a good example to win her loyalty, it's something a person will almost always have once it's earned. Once loyalty comes into play, Lillium will go to any lengths to make sure a request made of her is done.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
History: Lillium was born into the world of the assassin. Abandoned by her biological parents, she was found by the underworld society of these secretive killers and quickly initiated into their culture. From the moment she could understand what death was, she was taught how to kill with stealth and how to quickly clean up the evidence. Sent on her first minor mission when she was ten, it was suddenly apparent that Lillium would excel in the art of assassination. With that thought in mind, the elders of her clan poured many of their resources into both her and the other well-talented apprentices. With their support behind her, Lillium continued through her years to work under them. Once she was experienced enough and could contain her emotions perfectly behind a facade, she was released onto the world by her Masters as a test to see how she would do. Not wanting to disappoint them, Lillium trains nearly every day in the art of fighting and killing, always wanting to make herself better in the eyes of the society that raised her.
Stone Holder of: Aqua
Appearance: Lillium
Other:Strangely enough, Lillium secretly enjoys very feminine hobbies such as cooking and singing. She also majorly enjoys being around water.

How the Stones Work A stone holding a guardian is a very important thing, especially for the Guardian. It is their home when not summoned to the real world. A Guardian's stone from the inside reflects their element (for example the stone of light is covered in light, and the stone of water would be submerged in endless water on the inside). Inside this vessel, they are in their trusted, raw forms, and only able to hear slight sounds and movement through shadow movements from the outside world. In the stone, they have no need for food, as the elemental energy of the stone feeds them, that is, until they are activated.
For a Guardian to be released from their stone, and stay that way, they need the stone to be under constant physical contact from a human. When this touch is relinquished, they are called back into their stone, along with if the holder dies, as the Guardians can only be summoned by the living. Such constant physical contact can be a pain in the neck to keep up, so many of the stones have small holes drilled into them there they can be strung up into necklaces, and other things of that calibre. When summoned, a Guardian will be called near to the holder and the stone, if the Guardian runs away, and the holder drops or lets go of the stone, the Guardian will be called back into the stone, and when that touch brings them back again, they will appear at said holder's side, not at their current destination when they had been running away.
When in human form, Guardians have only basic elemental ability, and it takes their trust of their holder to unlock their raw, trusted form in the corporeal realm. This form holds great power, although it comes with a price, as the trust needed to release it is essential for the Guardian, and their holder will gain complete control over them until they turn back, the Guardians having to obey their every command. However, once this trust is broken, gone with it goes the trusted form until it is earned back again.
There are no races other than humans in this world. The stones are the only exceptions for now.

﹏﹋﹌ A xxQxxUxxA ﹋﹌﹏·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.'Like a river...' Aqua floated, half asleep, in the midst of his vast expanse of water. It was all his and he was all alone. He had gotten past the point of being lonely and accepted that he would be, for the bulk of his long life, apart from other living things. There wasn't even a single creature floating around with him - no trees, no sound but the rolling waves, no seaweed, there wasn't even any food. It wasn't like he'd needed it anyways though - the stone he was in provided him with everything he needed, but it had been awhile since he'd gotten his tooth into something sweet, and he was beginning to crave it.
To distract himself he flipped over and dived further under the water, his long aquamarine coloured hair trailing after him in a swirl of dizzying designs. As he practiced his submerged manoeuvres he couldn't deny the nagging feeling in the back of his mind of a particular slice of cake he'd been able to eat several decades ago. It was rich and dark, full of chocolate, freshly baked and absolute heaven in the mouth. He could almost feel its heavy weight in his stomach, but not quite. Sure he didn't have to eat while he rested in his stone, and yet he wished he could. It would be a lot easier if he could simply escape from the stone himself, but then he wouldn't ever have to bond with a human ever again.
He let out a sigh, releasing what air he had in his lungs, turning them to bubbles that spiralled almost spastically to the surface, if there was any. At least the water was nice and cool today. He could feel through the stone, the light cool rains of spring - his favourite season. As far as he could tell the stone was wrapped in something as he saw no shadows or any kind of movement whatsoever. It had gotten to the point of being annoying because there was absolutely nothing to do. He used to have the luxury of faint voices to listen to, or shadows to watch. He'd made it a game to guess what was happening, everyone's stories and why they were there. Now, however, there was no such luck.
Instead, for amusement, he turned to his tail. It was for the most part smooth, but the scales were still evident. It shone multiple colour hues, and yet as Aqua stared at it he felt bored. He'd done this at least fifty times before, if not more. He swam back up, easily sliding through the water's layers until he reached a relatively light area. Although he lived in a vast stretch of water, the lower he got the darker it would become and the higher he travelled the more light would filter through.
He begun to slowly freeze the water around him, making small figurines of horses about the size of his forearm. After he decided he had an adequate amount he begun assembling them as seen at a carnival or theme park. Silently he begun to spin the makeshift merry-go-round of ice in a whirlpool. In his mind he thought it a bit sad to have to resort to playing with his own hand-made 'toys', and yet it wasn't as if anyone would ever see him. He wondered if he'd ever be seen again at this point. There hadn't been an owner for him in awhile now. He watched the silent carousal spin around and around until it slowly started melting back into the water. He let his mind wonder to what else he would be able to make. '...I am unhindered and unconcerned by the events of humans' lives.'·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸¸.

 A soft sigh escaped the young mans lips, he looked up at the sky, and then down at the ground again, there sure was a long way down from where he was right now, so he had to make sure not to fall down. He looked up again, and then continued walking on the small path in front of him. He knew that he had to be careful, because if he wasn’t, he would surely fall. He wasn’t scared… After all he was the one who had decided to go all the way up there. He had heard that there was a great treasure up there, so he had to make it up there, quitting was not an option! He continued walking on the path for about 10 minutes, until it eventually started getting bigger. “Phew… I think that was the worst part of it!” He told himself with a slight smile upon his lips.
He soon after realized that it was actually the last part of the path to the top, it wasn’t as far as he had actually imagined that it would be. In front of him, he saw a small hill, and on top of that, a small pile of stones. He walked up to the small hill and stopped in front of the small pile of stones. “Now whats this…” He mumbled as he knelt down in front of the stone pile. Right in front of him was a bright stone… It was brighter than the other stones and he felt this strange warmth coming from it. He picked up the stone and just held it in his hand. “…What are you?” He asked, not really expecting an answer.

 Lumia’s stone was entrenched in a deep, pearly light. It shone everywhere, there was no shadow, save the one towards her very left which had been there for quite a while, and she guessed must be a wall in the outside world which she was propped up against, or something of that nature. However, the light did not blind her, in fact, it just filled her with warmth, and satisfaction. This was her element. She felt at home in the glow, and light sustained her essence.
However, there was only one thing that the light could not cure. And that was the sheer sense of boredom that had been with her for… She did not really know. It felt like a long time, but how long had it been. Five years? Ten years? A century even? Longer than that? Lumia truly did not have a clue, but she wished it to end. After all, you could not spend your entire life counting flickers in light patterns.
And indeed, Lumia’s rescue from her fate of ennui came all too soon. At first, the guardian saw the shadow of something obviously looming over her, before the shadow got closer, and the suddenly…
Touch. She was free.
The guardian then materialised in the physical plane, feeling the fresh mountain air upon her face and body, her torso adorned with a pure white dress. Sky blue earrings jangled in her ear with the breeze, and along with it, white hair flowed wildly in the landscape. She then looked around herself, spotting a young man in brown leather armour, holding her stone and asking it a question. As it was directed to her (or at least to her stone, anyway), Lumia felt inclined to answer.
“Me?” came the response, and she gently poked him in the arm to get his attention, feeling the slight squish of his skin as she pressed it. Touch. It felt weird feeling things again. A childish smile flickered its way across her face. “My name is Lumia. What is yours?”

 Earth is such a comforting thing...«A V A L A N . O F . T H E . E A R T H»_____________________________________________
Avalan sighed contentedly to herself as she lounged against a area of rock that seemed to conform perfectly to her form. Running her snout over the rough yet comforting surface of the stone, she gazed around her at the vast expanse of area. As far as she could see existed all sorts of variations of mountains and crystalline structures: large ones disappearing past eyesight, and even smaller ones like the one she rested upon. Some were solid colors while others shone in brilliant hues. Though there was no other element actually present within her sanctuary, everything of Earth existed much like the natural state of it outside of her stone. Beneath the different shapes was a healthy glow of grass and even healthier soil and rock beneath it. The place was like a paradise to her senses and helped to fill her with an amazing calmness that was unrivaled by any other.
Except... How long had she been here? Avalan honestly couldn't remember the last time she'd been out of her stone. Memories from the few stoneholders she'd had flitted faintly within her mind. When she was in this state, she was never very good at remembering things. It was like all of her worries were gone all of the time. However, she could mostly remember the last stoneholder that had claimed her...
He had been an author of some sorts, or something like that... Or had he been a playwright? Either way, he had kept to himself far away from the villages themselves. Avalan had been discovered by him on one of his inspiration treks, and he was infatuated since then. Though that holder had not used her much other than helping to transport goods and materials back and forth from the village to his home, she remembered being quite comfortable with that particular life. He had no children, and the last thing Avalan could remember was being told that he would take her back to where she had been found...
With a small look of confusion on her face, Avalan placed her head onto the backside of her paws as she laid out flat against the rocky surface. Where exactly had that been? All of that had happened such a very long time ago, hadn't it? Though she didn't like to dwell upon past events, the reminiscing left her feeling a bit lonely and missing the outside world. It also made her wonder what was happening outside of her confines, and who would be the next individual to find her.
_____________________________________________ Calm and sturdy... Is there anything better?

{ Sean Leslow }
 The young man growled a bit as he was slammed against the stone wall by the one of the bandits before him. Dropping to the ground with a grunt, Sean pushed himself to his feet and glared at it angrily before raising his longsword again. "Damn you! If there are clues here, then just let me by already!" Leaping into the air, Sean brought the sword down over the bandit's head, only to be knocked to the ground again. Letting out a sigh as he rose to his feet again, Sean thought about how he had come to be here.
The young man walked into a small town that only housed about twenty or so people. They were all kind and welcomed him as if he was one of them. Sean Leslow enjoyed his time there and was happy to have the free food and drink that they gave to him. One kind family even offered him a room to stay in during his time there. At one point, Sean began asking around and showed his locket to the people.
Upon staring at the picture within the locket, one kind old man gave him a tip about an old, abandoned temple to the northeast of town. Inside, the old man felt that Sean might find some clues about what happened to his parents, though he wasn't for sure. Taking the old man's advice to heart, Sean set out for the temple with his hope of finding answers renewed again.
Arriving at the ruins however, Sean felt a shiver run down his spine. It was a dark place, deep in the midst of some rather large woods. The trees extended high into the sky and he could not see the sun. The building didn't look like a typical temple. It was enormous, and upon closer inspection he could tell that it extended into the ground as well. "Great, I wonder just what to expect from this place."
In fact, that was how he ended up down on the first basement floor of the building, fighting against a large group of bandits that looked and smelled like they hadn't showered in weeks. They planned to rob Sean and leave him to die after they were through with him. Upon being attacked by them, the young man began dodging attacks and throwing attacks of his own. He had downed the first two bandits quite easily, but that only succeeded in angering the others.
Yelling out once more, Sean dodged another attack from one of the bandits before launching another one of his own. It slipped right into the gut of one of the bandits, causing him to slump over and collapse to the ground. There were only three left, and they all rushed him at once. They landed a few blows on the poor young man, but Sean dodged most of the attacks. After a moment, he launched a few more of his own. It wasn't much longer before he had killed the rest of them. Smirking a bit, Sean tucked away his sword and made his way further into the temple.
After arriving on the bottom floor of the temple, Sean grumbled a bit as he began to realize that there were no clues here for him to find. Refusing to leave however without fully exploring the ruins, Sean delved deeper and began sifting through the rubble. After a time, an odd glow began to emanate from the pile of debris back against the wall furthest from him. Walking over to it, Sean began to dig through the debris until he found the source of the green glow. It was a small rock, a little smaller than his fist. Reaching out, Sean picked up the rock and had to close his eyes from the flash of light that overcame him. "What the hell is going on?!" (( I really, really hope this post is ok. sweatdrop If it's not, I'll fix it ok? ))

A sigh could be heard when he didn't hear a reply from the stone, perhaps it was just a normal stone after all? But then suddenly, he felt a poke on his arm. He instantly turned around and then saw a young woman standing next to him, dressed in all white. He quickly jumped a bit away, but without dropping the stone. "W-Where did you come from?!" He asked her as he watched her. He was sure that nobody had followed him up here, so where did she come from? He heard her name, and then sighed. "Im Ravi... Ravi Säde" He just mumbled, not quite sure what to say now. "How... Did you get up here? Did you follow me?" He asked with a confused look upon his face.
It wasn't normal for him to meet other people when he was looking for treasures in the mountains, and therefore it shocked him that she had suddenly appeared out of nowhere... Right after he had picked up the stone. Wait... The stone... Did she perhaps have something to do with the stone? "Uhm... Lumia? Do you... Perhaps have something to do with this stone? Do you know anything about it?" He asked her as he looked into her eyes.

Zephyr sighed to herself as she plopped herself across a large expanse of cloud. Here inside of her safe haven existed an infinite amount of clouds. Amongst the clouds existed pockets of sky which appealed very much to her air-loving nature. However, besides the clouds and sky, there existed nothing else. The guardian of the wind was the only being other than the fluffy white cushion and baby blue expanse of sky that resided within the stone. It was a comforting place indeed, but she was really beginning to miss the outside world.
For quite a few years now, Zephyr could see nothing outside of her stone. She would catch dark shadows as they flitted across her otherwise bright interior, and sometimes she could hear scuffles and scratches outside. However, no one ever found her, and so she remained in her unknown world. She had been given to a treasure hunter last, so perhaps that had something to do with it...?
Zephyr was quickly pulled from her thoughts as she heard small clanging sounds from above her. Turning her face up as though she would actually see it, the wind guardian turned her face to the side in curiosity. If she wasn't mistaken, that was the very faint sound of metal clashing. Soon after the noise quieted down, a large shadow loomed over her stone and Zephyr's heart beat with excitement. Perhaps it was her time once more! She could hear the movement of rock around her before another distinct shadow came closer to her...
Yes! She was free from her stone! Upon the human's touch, her body was almost instantly transferred from her elemental home to the real world. Flexing her fingers, a smile came across Zephyr's face at the alien feeling of her own flesh. Crouching down beside of the man as he cursed, she lightly glided her hand over his arm. Skin. Flesh. Hair. Human. It had been quite a long time since she'd been near to any of these things, and she knew there would be much more reminiscing to come.
"Cursing isn't very polite, you know." Giggling a little to herself, she moved her hand from his arm to the weapons he carried. The cold kiss of the metal to her fingers gave her a slight chill as she remembered the feeling from a time long, long ago. "As for your question, I suppose you've found me."

--.:Fleuris Confier:.-- Smiles turn the sunset,
the sunset turns the trees,
the trees turn the grass... A smile toying at her lips, the blonde young woman knelt over a patch of garden, her hands woven through plants and masked by gloves covered in dirt. She was hard at work, fighting off the sun and sweat with the back of her arm while she pulled weeds throughout the little patch of earth. An elderly woman stood by with cold drinks in hand while Fleuris was hard at work. Usually she wasn’t so accustomed to doing work for others, but when it came to such a nice little garden, she had no qualms about helping for the afternoon. Her long blonde hair was tied back, but still hung down to her neck here it was plastered against her skin in warm sweat. A long day’s work was done, and the garden looked quite wonderful considering she’d managed to do it all in one afternoon. With the clap of her hands she dusted the dirt off and glanced around her work, making sure everything was planted and dealt with in the garden so the old woman wouldn’t have to do any difficult work after all that Fleuris had already done for her.
While her eyes wandered the garden, she spotted something shimmer a few feet away. She wasn’t quite sure what to make of it, it wasn’t very bright, but there was that dim shimmer as light reflected off it like a piece of glass. She couldn’t remember picking any glass out of the garden before, the little sparkle made her curious. As the old woman disappeared into the house for a moment, Fleuris made her way over to the glimmering stone and picked it up between her moist, dirt covered, gloved fingers. She stared at it for a moment, turning it over in her hand while she tried to figure out exactly what it was. There didn’t seem to be anything particularly special about it, it just looked like a shiny little rock. Nothing about it seemed overly peculiar, except maybe that pinhole at the top that looked big enough to thread a piece of string through, other than that it wasn’t real exciting. It was pretty at least, it might even make a nice necklace if she cleaned it off.
Stone in hand, she walked over to the hose and rinsed the rock in the cool water beside the house. The more dirt washed off, the prettier the stone appeared. She’d have to figure out what to do with it until she got home though, she didn’t have any pockets. With a quick flick of the wrist she turned off the water before moving over to her bag on the outdoor table. She tossed the stone into the open pocket and swung her bag back onto her shoulder. “It’s such a strange little rock, but I’m sure there’s good reason for it being that way. “ She muttered aloud to herself. The woman was still inside, but unfortunately with a look to her watch, Fleuris could tell she didn’t have any more time to waste there. “Mrs. Applebee, I’ll be going now! Enjoy the garden.” She called into the house. She took the gloves off her hands and set them on the table quietly before she headed out the back gate and onto the street. Her feet tapped a steady rhythm against the sidewalk, though she had no real direction to walk, she was just moving to go somewhere else. While she walked, her mind wandered until finally she started to dig through her bag to find the stone. She grasped it once more between her fingers, feeling the soft, cool edges against her fingers. She stopped walking forward and stared onward from where she stood, her eyes trying to decipher what secret that little rock possessed.But it's you that turns me,
and returns that smile,
for all the world to see. --.:Blossoming Trust:.--
