= **The Sun Stones of Sunsetsa** == //The lands of Neruda, Oceana, Sunseta and Kispana have always had a connection, 4 friends, the leaders of the lands have been friends for many moons. Tales have been shared and the quests have just begun. The tale of the sun stones of Sunseta is the first tale, the legend says that four magical stones were created by the great magic keeper Caerem they were thought to enhance the magic across the land.// //The four great friends Ranoic of Sunseta, Varun of Oceana, Dasha of Neruda and Blaze of Kispana have set out to find these magical stones in hope of using the stones to help bring out the black magic hidden in the deep forest. They must work quickly, because the leader of the dark misfits and his army of dark wizards and witches are close behind trying to get the stones, not for good, but for their own evil doings. Will the friends succeed or will the dark misfits take over?//

The high noon sun was blazing down on the backs of the four friends, trekking across the grassy plain. The grass brushed against their bare shins and the wind blew. The friends, Ranoic, Varun, Dasha, and Blaze set their eyes on the horizon, hoping to make it over Creig mountain before sundown.

“How far ‘til Creig?” Varun asked, twisting the top of his canteen off and taking a long drink. “About 18 miles,” Ranoic responded, brushing the strands of black hair off of her forehead. “So we better get moving,” Dasha said.

The walk was silent, but they were all thinking the same thing. The magic stones were somewhere in this world, waiting for hands to grasp them.

The sky became instantaneously dark with gray clouds covering the sun, and the wind was vigorously blowing. The leaves were ripped off the tree branches, and swirled around the friends. A cloud of fog grew around them, blocking their vision from everything around them. There were whispers coming from all directions. The friends were unable to make out the words, but somehow knew they were whispers of evil.

The friends went into their fighting stance, readying themselves for what was coming next. Varun pulled his canteen out of his knapsack, and pulled the water out, forming a ball between his hands. Ranoic drew her staff from her back-holster, putting herself in the fight stance her brother taught her. Blaze and Dasha stood ready.

Dark shadows started towards them at an alarming speed. Varun had started slinging the water in a whip-like way, hitting an approaching shadows. As the battle between Varun, Ranoic, Blaze, and Dasha proceeded they seemed to be outnumbered.

The friends we're outnumbered badly but they weren't about to give up the fight just yet. The friends retreated behind the line of dark trees to regroup. They stopped to regroup & gather the misfits weaknesses. "How are we going to do this?",Varun asked worriedly. "I can read they're minds!",Dasha said

Dasha read the creatures minds, and in a last attempt to save her friends conjured up a magic potion to disarm the dark misfits killing them slowly & painfully. The potion was completed in a matter of moments and they had to figure out a way to soak the dark creatures in it.

"We need to soak the Misfits in the potion, Varun do you think you can water-bend the potion over the Misfits?" Dasha asked "Yes Varun is it possible?",Ranoic seconded excitedly. "I think I can, I haven't tried to bend magic before,"Varun said before pausing to think,"Everyone needs to back up, I haven't done this before and it could be dangerous."Varun said pushing them behind him before turning around.

He glanced back at them smiling softly before saying "If anything goes wrong I want you to remember that I love you and I will never forget you, Best friends forever"

The friends all glanced at one another before letting Varun begin to bend the potion. As the potion began to bubble the three remaining friends backed further into the dark woods. Varun began to lift the potion out of the vile and slowly started to sling the potion above his head Dasha & Ranoic clung to each other while Blaze inched closer to Varun, All of a sudden a great wind blew sending the potion towards the ground in a dark mist where Varun stood, Blaze ran out of the trees in attempt to push him out of the way. As the mist settled Dasha & Ranoic ran out of the trees to see Varun laying on the ground covered in the potion unmoving. Blaze no where to be seen.

The life had been sucked out of Varun's green eyes. His body lay motionless in the tall grass of the field. His skin was pale and icy cold. Dasha knelt down to Varun's face and lightly kissed his cheek. A single tear rolled down her face, falling onto Varun's shirt.

"Dasha, where's Blaze?" Ranoic asked in a panic.

Dasha shot her head up, searching the field for Blaze's icy blue hair. She was nowhere to be found.

There was a scream in the distance. A scream so ear piercing and painful. Dasha and Ranoic ran in the direction they heard the scream.

Dasha and Ranoic ran towards the sound swiftly, there lay Blaze drowning in the magical potion. "I..have..a...stone",Blaze spoke,"Take it,and kill me" "Blaze, we can't kill you!" Ranoic said. "Please as my last request, It hurts so bad"

Dasha looked sadly at Ranoic before taking the stone out of Blaze's hand and ending her life with a wave of her hand. "We must go on Ranoic"Dasha said sadly "I think it be best if we split up Dasha. I need to be alone",Ranoic spoke softly "Then it be so. Till we meet again friend."

The friends set off in separate directions, leaving one another to meet their destinies.
