I don’t remember my real name. I can only remember the one They gave me, and I am sure it isn’t my real name. Ember just doesn’t sound right. That is what my mistress calls me. My friends River, Stone, and Breeze all live Here. I can’t really say where Here is because I honestly do not know myself. All I know is that my friends and I all serve under The Rulers. The Fire Queen, the Earth King, the Water Queen, and the Air King- one for each of the four elements. They are The Rulers of the universe. The Fire Queen is my mistress.
Here is a very interesting place. It looks like a normal residential neighborhood, with a little cul-de-sac-thing and houses around it. The thing is, there are only one street and only five houses- one for each of The Rulers and one for us kids, the “Chosen Ones”. The house in the middle is shared by all us Chosen Ones. I think there are twenty of us. Yeah, there must be twenty because we are all trained under our masters and mistresses, and we’re split up evenly, and there are five of us in my class, including me.
Our house has four floors I think, give or take. It changes daily. It has probably hundreds upon thousands of rooms that make themselves available based upon what a particular person is looking for, or not looking for, sometimes. It looks small from the outside, but don’t be fooled. Like I said, lots of rooms. The house itself is painted a homey deep red with blue-gray trimming and shutters, and a dark brown porch.
Now that I think about it, I don’t actually know what we were “chosen” for. Stone was Here before I; maybe he knows. I’ll have to ask him when his lessons are over. In the meantime, I’ll be vain and brush and re-brush my carrot-colored hair. Maybe it will impress him. Oh my Gods, is he cute!
Let me know if you want me to continue this one.
Thx,
me
