(Okay, don't cringe too much, and keep in mind that I wrote this when I was 11-12 so yeah, also I got out most of the grammar errors, so don't complain, there were a lot more)
Prologue
"Remember! Come back by dinner!" Called Lilac Dazzle, a tall, brown-haired elf, with sparkling green eyes, and whose hair was littered with pink petals. An earth elf she was and was Bloom's mother. "Yes Mother!" Bloom Dazzle, a brown-haired, green-eyed girl, wearing a long white dress laced with pink flowers, called back cheerfully as she skipped down her blue stone path. "Hello, Father!" She waved at a tall, light elf, with white hair (not because he was old, but because he was a light elf) and grey eyes. "Hello Bloom, my hibiscus. What have you planned for today?" Said Glint Dazzle. Bloom's father. "Oh, nothing much," she said with a twinkle in her eye. "Okay, go have fun. But remember, but be back for dinner." He said. Bloom smiled. It was great being part light elf and part earth elf. She soon was out of her yard and was on the road, she quickly and quietly closed her gate, as she was told to do every time she opened it. She scanned the streets, looking at all the different kinds of elves, but not a single darkness elf to be seen. She knew this was because darkness is weak to light, which means they can never live in harmony together. She waved at a short, red and yellow haired, fire elf, and a tall, silver and white haired, air elf. They waved back at her, then began to run up to Bloom. The air elf leaving behind the other. "Hello, Firdem" Bloom said to the fire elf. She was wearing a red dress that had a stripe of yellow at the bottom. "Hello Clouderia." Bloom said to the air elf. She was wearing a purple dress with a long silver cape. "Greetings Bloom, doth thou care to go to the park?" Asked Clouderia, in her "normal" way of talking. "Okay, I'll be Clouderia's translator: she wants to know if you want to go to the park." Said Firdem. "Okay sure!" Said Bloom. As they were walking, they came across a girl of black hair that was in a braid that snaked down her back. She was wearing a black dress. "Who is she?" Clouderia inquired. "I don't know, she looks suspicious. Wait! What are you doing!?" Firdem yelled at Bloom who was walking towards the stranger. "Hello." Bloom said.
Bloom continued slowly walking up to the stranger, much, to Firdem and Clouderia dismay. "Hello my name is Bloom." Said Bloom, neither loudly or quietly. The girl wheeled around in surprise. "Hi." The girl said bluntly. "What's your name?" Bloom asked. "Eve." The black haired girl said shortly. She could see Clouderia and Firdem in the background, watching this account fearfully, Firdem, though more fearful, then Clouderia. "Would you like to go to the park with us?" Bloom asked Eve. Eve thought for a moment, then decided. "Fine," Eve said. She could hear Firdem ask Clouderia if Eve spoke more then one word at a time. "Of course I don't! Do you think, I don't know how to speak plain and simple English?" Eve replied harshly to Firdem's question. "I knew you knew how to speak." Replied Firdem. "Firdem, thou should not speak of one person behind one's back, even more so if that certain individual is in front of you." "It's fine (for now), I’m used to it." Said Eve. "Well, shall we be off then?" Asked Bloom, trying hard to change the subject. "I was waiting for you to ask me that." Replied Eve. "Of course." Replied Clouderia. "I'm ready." Firdem replied. So the four elves began walking to the park. The conversation soon turned to cultures of the different elements. "Fire elves have stone, spacey houses." Said Firdem. "Air elves have houses of marble and pillars." Said Clouderia. "Well, light/earth elves have houses built on light trees." Said Bloom. "It can even get this bright sometimes." She said making a light bubble, so bright, that no one could see. “Wait, stop!” Shouted Eve. “Wait, why?” Asked Bloom. "Raaaaaaaaaaggggggggggg!" Screamed Eve as she began to fade. She was a darkness Elf. "Oh no!" Said Bloom, quickly making the light bubble disappear. "What have I done?" She said as Eve fully disappeared. The other elves were too shocked to do anything but scream.
Oos: Eve didn't fall, but instead she had turned invisible, touch-less and voiceless. She fled to a dark cave, where no light could get through. There, she lived, brewing. And eventually she became visible, but the power to turn invisible remained in her, and since she didn't fall, she was now resistant to light.

Chapter One
(guys it takes a while to get better, but it does, trust me. I didn’t really know what I was doing here, but there a plan later on.)
**Eight years later**
Bloom Dazzles eyes fluttered open to see her sky blue ceiling. It was a long night, and she welcomed the new day warmly. No one had found out what had happened to Eve, or where she disappeared too, and everyone had given up the search. Bloom was hiding in the shadows, but not intentionally. She walked downstairs to make her breakfast and found that her Mother had already made it. Her Father wasn't up yet. "Good morning Bloom!" Said Lilac Dazzle cheerfully. "Good morning Mother!" Bloom said back. "What are your plans for today?" Lilac asked. "I don't know, maybe meet up with my friends." She replied. "All of them?" Lilac said. "Maybe." Bloom answered. "Well, finish up then." Said the earth elf. So Bloom quickly finished up her fruit, hugged her mother, and went outside. Bloom had grown into a beautiful lady, her brown hair with white highlights flowed in the wind, so did the long train of her light pink dress. She whistled a shrill whistle, and a light bird gracefully flew up to her. "Now, messenger, go to Clouderia's house, Firdem's house and Shwella's boat, oh, and if she's not there, try her beach house, and tell them to meet me in the park, near the big tree, please," Bloom asked the bird, and the bird flew off with her message is mind. "Thank you!" She yelled after it. She began walking towards the park. Then started to sing a song. "Nice singing." Smirked a voice that came from behind a tree. "Ugg, Fwrem, quit spying on me." Bloom said in annoyance. "Sure, whatever." Said Fwerm, a tall fire Elf, with red, red hair, black eyes, and a wry expression. "Just, leave me alone for once!" She said walking past him. Then she burst into a run and arrived at a giant tree.

(Chapter One; Part Two)
She waited for a little while, then a flying shape flew down and landed next to her, it was Clouderia, now her silver flowing past her waist, but poofed out wider than the width of her shoulders. Her dress was long, with a long train, long flowing sleeves and a long purple cloak, which dragged on the ground. "I have now, arrived, I will never be late again." Clouderia Airise said. "You're not late. You're the first one who came." Bloom said. "I'm here!" Came a voice, also from the sky. Firdem Lavastone's fire dragon soon landed on the grassy ground. "Great!" Said Bloom. The tree elves suddenly looked up at the sound of a great roar. They saw Shwella Droplite's dragon, under the attack of a darkness dragon!
As the dragon attacked Shwella's dragon, Lara (Firdem's dragon), rushed up to help its friend, Whoon (Shwella's dragon), roared something in dragon language, and Lara roared back.
Whoon barrel rolled, dropping Shwella off his back. Lara, made a fast dive towards Shwella, and caught her mid-air, to put her on the ground for safety. Then she flew up again, attacking the dragon mid-flight.
But darkness is one of the strongest elements.
Lara shot a fireball at the evil dragon, which it dodged easily. The two dragons flew at the one, Whoon, making a cloud of lightning around it, but the darkness dragon moved behind Whoon.
"What do we do!" Screamed Firdem in dismay. "I know!" Said Bloom, with determination sounding her voice. "Then thou must act swiftly!" Said Clouderia. Then she noticed that Shwella was unconscious. "Bloom! An unfortunate event hath landed on Shwella!" Said Clouderia. "And you are the healer!" She said.
Bloom looked down at her hands, she had to move quickly, so she could help Shwella, who was getting over taken by the power of darkness. From her hands, a little light ball started to form. That light ball grew bigger and bigger, until she could not hold it back any longer. She let it go in the form of a light beam, it hit the evil dragon, who let out a tremendous roar, and flew off.
Bloom ran up to Shwella. The dragons landed. Bloom started making a green light beam coming from her hands, which began to heal her. Bloom was an excellent healer, but that was really the only thing she knew how to do, the laser beam was only by accident, she hadn't wanted to study her powers, because what she did to Eve scared her out of it.
Shwella woke up coughing up a dark fluid. "Shwella, what happened up there?" Asked Firdem. "I don't know! Whoon and I were just flying, and then, and then..." Shwella said. "You don't have to say anymore." Said Firdem. "So, Bloom, why did you call us?" She Asked.
Bloom looked into the sky, the wind flowing perfectly, the birds singing beautifully, and the flowers so bright and colorful, as if nothing had happened. The wind rustled through her hair. Then she thought about Eve. What had happened to her. she thought. "Anyone care about going on a quest?" She asked.

Chapter Three Part One
Bloom ran to Firdem's stone house, as they were supposed to meet there because of what Bloom had said. No one had known what she had meant when she said: "Anyone care about going on a quest?" So they were all meeting up.
Bloom finally arrived at a large, kind of empty, stone house. She ran up the stairs and walked up to the doorless doorway. She pushed away a thick cloth (which served as a door) and walked in. See saw that all of her friends (she told to come), were there already.
"Finally! We were all waiting for you!" Said Firdem. "Sorry." Bloom replied while taking a seat. "So, Syania, you weren't there when it happened, were you?" She asked. "No, I wasn't." Said Syania Darkshade, she was a sixteen year old, ice elf, with ultraviolet hair, in a bob cut, completely black eyes, freckles across her nose, and really pale skin. "Well, two of you, weren't there for two incidents." Bloom admitted. Clouderia and Firdem remained silent. They knew what she was talking about. "And what are those two things? Are they important?" Shwella Droplite asked, she was a fifth teen, water elf, with long light blue hair, sandy eyes, wearing khaki shorts, a long shirt with long see through sleeves and sandals. "Yes, very, very important." Sighed Bloom. "I'm listening." Said Syania. "Okay, here it goes." Said Bloom, as she began the tale about Eve. She told them all the details (she had written them down), and how they saw a strange girl, and invited her to go to the park with them, and finally, of how she had basically banished her. They were stunned, except for Clouderia and Firdem.
"Why didn't you tell us that earlier?" Asked Syania. "I didn't intend to tell anyone at all." Bloom replied. "Then why did you tell us now?" Questioned Shwella. "Because of that darkness dragon, it... ...it just reminded me about it, that's all." Bloom answered. "Wait, darkness dragon?" Asked Syania, in a shocked tone. "Yes, the darkness dragon." Said Firdem, and then she began to tell the account of the darkness dragon, Clouderia, putting in details that Firdem forgot. They told her the story. "Oh, I see.. I think we should take a visit to..." Syania said, but got interrupted.
"Yes." Said Clouderia, dragging an elf-male in. Bloom could recognize him.
"Fwerm! Stop eavesdropping!" Said Bloom to him, with a twang of annoyance in her voice.
"What did thou hear?" Asked Clouderia.
"Everything! All of your secrets, story's, everything!" He said. All five girls looked at him angrily.
"And, I'm, I'm, going... ...going to release it to the public, yeah!" He yelled. "No, you can't do that." said Bloom with lots of anger (and some fear) in her voice.
"I shall make the sound from thy mouth not be able to travel." Said Clouderia, her hands started to glow threateningly.
"Fine, I won't blab, if I go on the quest with you." Said Fwerm slyly.
"We aren't even going on a quest." Said Ferdem.
"Yeah, who said we were going on a quest?" Chimed Syania.
"Um I think, I did, but I don't know why we'd be going on a quest though." Said Bloom.
"Well, never mind. I won't tell anyone, I promise." Said Fwerm truthfully.
"Should we trust him?" Asked Syania.
"I think we should." Said Firdem, “He is my brother.”
"Okay, fine." Said Bloom.
They all nodded in agreement, all except Syania. "You can go." Said Bloom. Fwerm ran off.
"Okay, the meeting is adjourned." Announced Syania, banging a small hammer.
As the elf girls stepped outside, the cold hit them. "Why does the weather have to change! Ugh." Growled Firdem.
"Because the weather is the weather, get used to the cold." Said Syania cooly.
"Wait! I'll just go back inside." Said Firdem, walking away.
After rolling their eyes, the girls heard a "Scree-EE" (kind of) call. "What was that?" Asked Shwella.
"I don't know, probably nothing." Syania replied.
"Yes, thou art right, probably only the wind." Agreed Clouderia. "Bloom, what doth thou think?" She asked.
She could hear Clouderia give a cry. "Come swiftly, over here!" She cried softly.
Shwella and Syania came running over to where they could hear her, she was kneeling over a huddled, motionless body, it was quite definable, it was Bloom.
All of them wear speechless, until finally Clouderia spoke. "She is breathing." She said.
"Great." Said Shwella in relief, then her voice went tense. "Do you think that it was that thing we heard?" She asked.
"Maybe." Said Syania, she was deep in thought, about many things.
"Look!" Shwella said, pointing to the sky, and interrupting Syania's thoughts.
The three elves looked up, their eyes landed on a crow, it's throat gave a deep call, 'Ca-aw! Ca-aw!' And three other crows joined it.
"One does not (simply walk into Mordor. I'm kidding, I'm kidding) spy many crows in Elevandale, it is a riddle, of what that means I can not tell." Said Clouderia.
"Look, Bloom is waking up." Pointed Syania.
Bloom sputtered, then woke up, then sat up, her eyes opened, they had a dazed look in them.
She began to cough.
"Are you okay?" Asked Shwella.
"I-I think so." Bloom replied in a shaky voice. "What happened?" Asked Syania.
"I'm-I'm n-not sure." She said back.
"Regan thou's voice, then tell us what you do know, in detail." Said Clouderia.
"O-okay." Bloom answered.
"Can you walk?" Asked Syania, Bloom nodded. Then stood up.
"Ahh, here." Shwella said, then whistled. "Ride on Whoon." She said. Whoon walked up, then placed Bloom on his back.
"Well, second thoughts, clearly we shall all ride on Whoon." Said Shwella. And they did. Each one in deep thought.
Far away, Tala Fulmen, the lightning elf, fell to the ground, she was utterly exhausted. Even the sharp stones felt good. Her blonde hair was covered in dirt and was decorated with twigs.
She lay there, still as a stone for a couple of minutes, but she knew she must go on. The air had a chill in it that would only grow, and her shawl she had gotten from Firtin (The Fire City) had gotten stolen. Things couldn't get any worse.
She was traveling to the city because a darkness dragon raided her town, she was the only one who escaped. She was a refugee.
Tala got off the ground, and staggered forward, the rocks now painful under her bare feet. She winced with every step.
In the very distance, she could see the city.
She found a good stick and used it as a walking stick.
She heard the clap of thunder above her head. Normally she would love storms, but as the rain fell it just got colder and colder.
She began to starve.
"When I am going to get there?" Tala said. "I've been walking for four whole days and I can't hold out much longer." She said.
Then, she saw a house, relief flooded her system as she walked up and knocked on the door. An ugly elf came to answer it. He looked down and saw her, a scowl crossed his pointed features. "Shoo! Shoo!" He yelled.
She was forced to run away, it was agonising.
At this point every joint in her body ached, her tongue cleaved to the roof of her mouth in thirst, to the point where she opened her mouth to the sky, but not a single raindrop did she catch.
She soon passed out.
When she woke up her yellow eyes opened upon a large bird. She stumbled up to it. And lay her hand on it. It was warm.
Suddenly it swiveled with a jolt, it was face to face with Tala, it looked like a Peacock, it's big eyes examined her carefully. It saw she was hurting, aching, starving, parched, exhausted, scared and cold.
"Where are you going, traveler?" The peacock asked.
Tala was extremely frightened, and shocked it could talk. "I-I w-was just going too-too that city." She said, voice cracking.
"Do not fear, I will take you there, just climb on my back." The bird said to the girl. "Or would you like to rest first?" She asked.
"Rest." Tala said wearily.
The bird nodded, and took Tala under her wing. And Tala slept well that night.
