The Stones of Galadir

[I Blame Television]

ooc-Takarra's going to meet you at the pond. Is that okay?
***
Takarra woke up the next morning and the stone was on the floor. She put on heavy-duty gloves and picked up the stone. She raced out the door, still in her night clothes and went to the nearby pond, to clean the stone.

Zachary slowly opened his eyes, stretching and jumping out of bed. he shook his long hair out and quickly changed into a polo and some jeans. slipping on his gym shoes and throwing on a cap, he grabbed the stone and ran out to the pond that Ethilon said he saw the other stone. the stone he held was glowing brighter and brighter every step he took towards the pond.

[I Blame Television]

Takarra heard footsteps. She hid the stone behind her as the figure approached.
"H.hello?"

[emily]

"hey," Zack said, quickly stuff his stone into his pocket as he approuched the girl, "who are you?" he looked around, the wind ruffling his hair, moving it out of his face so his blue eyes sparkled off of the lake. he was a real ladies man, most of them loved him. it helped that he didn't try to show off or be a jerk like some other guys did. it also helped that girls that he had some of the most beautiful eyes they had ever seen.

[I Blame Television]

"Takarra. You?" she said, not backing down

[emily]

"Zachary," Zachary said with a sometimes used flirtatious smile, "but everyone calls me Zach....what's a pretty girl like you doing down here by this grotty old pond?"

[I Blame Television]

Takarra made the gagging motion.
"Nothing. What something like yourself doing here?"

[emily]

"just skipping rocks,'' Zach said with a smile, throwing one into a rock, it skipping 3 times

[I Blame Television]

Takarra's stane started to glow again.
"Damn thing" she muttered

[emily]

Zach's began to glow also. he saw the glowing from behind Takarra's back, and the same glow from his pocket. "you wouldn't happen to have a stone back there would you?" he asked curiously, wondering how and where she got hers.

[I Blame Television]

Takarra saw the glowing.
"Yes, and I was hoping to hide it but the damn thing keeps glowing." she said.
She felt a weird sensation in her hands. She put them out and lightnig escaped from her finger tips. "Cool." she muttered

[emily]

Zach brought his out also. "i've been trying to figure out how it glows," he said outloud, more to himself, "but..it's like it just does. there's not chemical reaction going on or anything."

[I Blame Television]

"good, he didn't see that." takarra muttered to herself
"Maybe it's a sign." said Takarra

[emily]

"who knows?" he asked, shrugging his sholders with a smile. he tried a second shot at this girl. he moved his hair out of his eyes again and let the pond reflect off of them. he let the breeze carry his hair backwards and let out another flirtatious grin.

Just then Ethilon came sprinting into the clearing. Heaving, he smiled and said, "Hey, Zach...huff huff...How are 'ya?" Then he noticed the beautiful girl standing opposite his friend. "Hmm," He said to himself. then he walked up to the edge of the pond and dove in. he swam to the bottom of the pool and moved some sand to find the stone. he glanced from side to side and then saw it. the shinning blue stone felt odd under water. it was still hot but didn't burn. when Ethilon turned to swim back up his pant leg caught onto something sharp. his eyes grew big and he panicked, trying to free himself. almost out of breath he lunged forward and felt a powerful surge erupt from his hands. he blasted upward and about a foot out of the water. he slammed onto the ground before Takarra and gasped for breath, clutching the stone tightly despite the burning. "What was that?" he murmered to himself. "Oh, Zach," He held up the stone, "I found it."

Terriella heard a large splash, coming from the pond she normally swam at with her friends. She walked by the tree she was just throwing her stars at and took the four stars out of it,then walked towards the pond cautiously.She saw three teenagers,not much older than herself,and they were all holding a stone,but the odd part was that each stone was glowing.She gasped,and walked closer to the three,tucking her throwing stars safely in their case,that was being held on her belt.
"What's going on here?"Terriella asked in her smooth,comanding voice.

[PBCC]

"Who...who is it?" Ethilon yelled demandingly. his stone burned his hand and he dropped it onto the ground. the three teens looked around the small clearing but saw no one. "I said, who is it!?"

[Catalin]

Terriella walked into the clearing so the three could see her."I'm Terriella.What's up with the stones?"she asked,moving her blonde hair away from her brown eyes,and tilting her head to the side.

[PBCC]

"I..." Ethilon stammered and stared at Zach and Takarra, who shrugged. he was mortified. She couldn't learn about the stones. "They...I don't know!!!" He broke down. "We found them and they glow and..." he stopped and picked up his stone. he looked at it persistently. "What are you?"

[Croscema Trinity Aikia]

Ooc- Sorry. I'm at my Nonney's house and she has dial-up. Cat, you can join, I don't care. And, my stone is orange, yellow, and red, not just yellow. I want to see if I'm the only person here who knows what OOC means.

Ic- Shadin ran towards the pond, her stone clutched tight against her chest. She felt the burning sensation, but it neither pained nor burned her. It was freaking her out. She saw a group of teenagers about her age gathered around the pond, each holding a stone with the exception of one.
"Y... you guys have stone, too?" she said, looking at them, "And I'm sure that I'm the only one here who knows what they do and what they are... right?"
She smiled at the clueless expressions on their faces.
"That's what I thought."
"Who are you?" asked the blond haired boy fiercely.
"Shadin Strife." she smiled, cocking her head to the side.
