Scratch that, we're doomed!!!

Blowing up the lock didn't work at all! I mean seriously, what's the point of having magical powers if I can't use them! Anyway there's an update on the whole footsteps/whispers/insanity thing.

  The footsteps were getting louder. I couldn't see the person they belonged to, until he knelt down in front of my cell and started picking the lock. Wait, a guy? Well whatever, at least someone was helping me escape. I could barely make out his features in the dim torchlight. Something about them nagged at my memory, though...
  "Sam? But- but what are you doing here?" I whispered.
  "Helping you escape of course."
  Just then the door swung open. I took his hand and started running. At least I bothered to explore the dungeons the first time I was here! We were so close to the exit, when I felt a sharp pain in the back of my head. Everything went black.
  Before I knew it I was back in my old cell with the addition of Sam. What happened back there?
  I sighed "Okay, so either a) you're a hallucination, b) you're an actor that they hired to trick me, or c) you're somehow the real Sam. For now I don't really care which one of those you are, just start talking."
  "And, why should I do this?" he asked.
  "Well, for one thing if you don't you're probably gonna get really bored, and for another it might be the only thing keeping me sane," I joked. "Though, if you are a hallucination I'm obviously not sane anymore."
  I was rewarded with a light laugh from him. "So, anyway how did you get here? Last I heard, you were dead." he started
  "It's a long story," I replied. "It took me a month to get through it, when I was telling it to other people. The short version is, I spread a rumor that I died, and I left the country- well the whole world actually- and set off on more adventures. 'Cause when it really comes down to it, I was not made to be a princess. But anyway, I thought you were dead!"
  "Well actually I joined a group called the GDK*," My face paled. "You've heard of them before?"
  "Um, I joined the Mystique so..."
  "We're enemies now?"
  I thought for a moment."First, let's get out of here. Then maybe we can talk it over or something." I nudged him playfully. "Besides I have a whole lot of catching up to do with you."

  We pretty much just talked for the rest of the day. When he fell asleep, I pulled this laptop out and started writing before I forgot a single detail. Just looking at him makes me so tired. Oh well, the guard did say I'd need my beauty sleep for tomorrow.

*Here, Sam said the group's actual name but since I can't tell anyone...

The weirdest mission I have ever been on part 4... NOT!!! part 2?

I should seriously stop messing with the 'parts'. Even I'm confused and I'm the one writing these things!
  No sign of anyone... I'm probably just being paranoid. So,back to the blogging.
  The office door swung open and a man's voice boomed out.
  "Come in, come in."
  We were pushed, shoved, and tripped a few times too, thanks to the guards. They also somehow managed to get us in, despite our attempts to get free.
  "So," he continued. "What can I do for you?"
  At that point I just snapped. He was acting so... careless about this, when there was no way he could!
  "What you can do, General Khoffva" I tried to spit it out with as much venom as I could.""Is explain to me why you were taking the jewels and putting all the Chosen in comas. And don't think I don't know you did this." I added seeing his suprised look. "Honestly, you couldn't have been more obvious about it. I heard you talking about it with your scond in command, on one of our nighttime raids."
  "Princess, surely you must be joking. I would never do such a thing,and the fact that you think so hurts my feelings."
  "You know what really hurts, the fact that I picked you to be regent 'cause I thought you cared about this kingdom and wanted to protect it. Clearly I was wrong 'cause you've just esured a full-blown war when the rest of the Chosen wake up."
  "If the Chosen wake up,you mean."
  "Actually that makes it worse. 'Cause you know what else a regent's supposed to do? Protect the ruler's family. Princess Elliandra is like a sister to me. No, she is a sister. She  is the first person I've ever actually called family. And what do you do? You just had to stick her in a coma that she may never wake up from. So, you'e fired."
  The general sighed. "I was worried you'd say something like that. Guards!" No one came. "Guards!!!"
   A bunch of guards shuffled in "Sorry boss, we still had the ear plugs in."
   My eyes widened. The ear plugs would have blocked out our singing. There were a lot less guards on the past few festival days. Which means, they were expecting us to come today.
   "Just go put these people in the dungeon. They're saying she's the princess, when we all know the princess died in the war!" He yelled, pointing at me.
   The guards immedietly dragged us away. Furious, I retorted "Didn't your mama ever tell you to fear the phoenix?!"
   "They'e hard to fear,when I have one right in the palm of my hand."
   And with that the door closed and we were led to our cells. This was exactly the reason why I never wanted to reveal my true identity. But I can't really blame anyone but myself.

  What is going on?!?! I keep hearing these annoying footsteps and whispers. It could just be that I'm going insane from the cell. I'll have to try to get out of here as soon as possible then. Off I go to blow up the lock with my magic,

Lexi

The weirdest mission I have ever been on part 4... NOT!!!

  So sorry to stop the story, but I can't do it right now. 'Cause right now I'm in a dungeon again. It's like the whole world's conspiring to put me behind bars, when I didn't do anything wrong! Well, I did blow up another castle once. But that was a complete accident, I swear! (and for anyone wondering it was in a totally different world) Besides I helped rebuild it.
  Needless to say our plan backfired. No, that isn't good enough. Let's just say it completely blew up in our faces. The original plan was to sneak in sometime during the week-long festival (It's to celebrate the treaty between magical creatures and humans). Then Ru and I would use our combined singing powers to knock the guards out. At the last moment she lost her voice. We still went  'cause we were hoping there weren't as much guards. But when we got there, the place was like packed with guards. I was like why aren't they gone!!! 'Cause you know it's a festival. Everyone goes to it. Especially since it's one of the few holidays we celebrate over here.
  Anyway the guards discovered us before we could leave in peace. And we were waiting to be let in to the regent's office, which is sorta pointless 'cause I was the one who picked him in the first place. Or did I...
Kinda nervous and, wow this was actually moderately serious for once. I might have to continue this later, I think I hear something... And I can sense the storm jewel again! Wonder what it means...

The weirdest mission I have ever been on part 3 (-.-)

.Yes, there's more to the story. And more news too. For starters, Chosen can sense if other jewels are near them. And I sensed the storm jewel in the GDK headquarters. It seems they're keeping secrets from us too... Anyway this is going to the top of my Must Investigate list. So, storytime!
  The thing was rectangular, flat, and in full color. In other words, I had no idea what it was.
  "It- it's a TV," Tay stuttered. "A flat-screen TV."
  "That is so not a TV," Srigi scoffed "For one thing, TVs aren't embedded in cave walls."
  "No it is a TV, see there's a Wii hooked up to it. And this is a dead end."
  A thump came from behind us. We turned around only to see another cave wall. We were trapped. Wait a minute...
  "Look there's a door!" I ran over to open it. It wouldn't budge. And have I ever mentioned how much I hate being trapped?
  "There's a Just Dance game in here." Srigi remarked. "Let's play!"
  There was only one Wii remote, so Tay stepped up to show us how to play.
  "See, you just copy the person on the screen and-"
  "That person looks freaky."
  "I know, right."
  "I can't dance to this song!"
  Eventually she gave up and let us mess with it. Ru took the first dance. We were all cheering her on, and when she finished (and she did really really well) a light blazed on the door.
  "What is it with this cave and lights?" I muttered.
  After the light faded away a triangular shape was left, glowing faintly. On closer inspection, it looked like the top point of a star.
  "So, we have to play this four more times to unlock the door?" Rila wondered. "I'm totally ready for it!"
  "Let's go!" we all cheered.
  And the Just Dance marathon began. We all tried our hardest and Srigi had the top score (I complained that it was unfair 'cause she played this before). The star lit up one last time before fading to nothing, as the door swung open.
  "We're all free!" I cheered
  "No, no we're not," Rila said. "Where's Srigi?"

 Again with the cliffhanger! I am such a hypocrite sometimes. Anyway, Ru told me earlier that she was part siren which explains her pitch-perfect voice and why the boys keep chasing her around. It's also the basis for the new plan to find out what's really happening in the Phirexiell castle. I'll have to explain that later though. Going to SLEEP,

Lexi

The weirdest mission I have ever been on part 2 (^ ^)

 We weren't caught! *happy dance* And we managed to explore the whole west wing before dawn. No guards noticed us at all. And you think they would've stepped up the security while I was gone. But anyway on with the story!

  After that random little flash of light, I found myself in the cave that was on the tapestry. Along with some other people.
  "Where am I?"
  "What?!?!"
  "Look, it's sparkly."
  "Who's there?"
  "This is weird.'"
  "Wait, Is that you Tay?"
  "Lexi?"
  "Rila?"
  "Ru?"
  "Srigi?"
  Well, at least I wasn't alone. "So... what exactly are you all doing here?"
  Maybe I shouldn't have asked that. Everyone started talking over each other and I couldn't understand what they were saying.
  "I was just-" Ru started
  "Well, I don't-"  interrupted Srigi
  "What the-" Tay groaned
  "I got swallowed by a chicken!" burst out Rila
  Now, that was weird.
  "I mean, we kinda-"
  "Just came-"
  "To help!"
  "And have fun of course." Srigi added
  "Ok, um does anyone happen to have a map?' I asked
  To my surprise, Tay pulled one out of her pocket
  "I used to spend a lot of time down here you see," she explained. "So it only made sense for me to make a map of it."
  " 'Kay then, lead on." Ru said.
  "So," Tay muttered "You take a left here, then a right, then... oh and," She whirled around to face us. "Whatever you do, never touch the crystals."
  Those of us who were about to grab some, including well, me, immediately whipped our hands away.
  "Why not?" Srigi asked.
  "They're coated in a poison that will kill you instantly on contact. But not without causing you a lot suffering first."
  "There aren't any tight squeezes up ahead, right?" I asked, shakily.
  "No, I don't think so at least."
  This was starting to get a little creepy. Actually more than a little. A lot more than a little.
  We kept on walking and all of a sudden Tay stopped. We all crashed into each other and fell into a heap. I was about to ask her why she stopped, when I saw what she was staring at. And why her face was so pale. A lump grew in my throat
  "What,"  I managed. "What is that... thing?"

  I have to stop there. And for the record I hate cliffhangers too. Anyway I also managed to get my jewel back. I don't think anyone knows I have it yet. Hopefully I won't have to wear it. You see, the whole purpose of the jewels is to maximize your power in a certain element, in my case fire. The thing is, if I have too much potential magical power at once, my form gets harder to control. Instead of being a girl with phoenix wings who can fly to boot, I turn into a full phoenix which I really don't like. The other Chosen don't wear their jewels much either, 'cause it tends to burn them out a lot. Which kinda explains why it was so easy to steal the jewels. Another thing is, anyone can use them. So if someone got all of them... For now though, we don't have to worry about it that much. Word is, they don't have the storm jewel yet, too. Wonder who has it now...

Lexi
P.S If anyone is reading this, I'd really appreciate it if you left a comment or two. I'm a bit comment-happy. O-o

The weirdest mission I have ever been on part 1 (> <)

 This story starts out on April Fool's day. That alone, should have told me something was up...
 I was working in the Salindae castle, as Elli's personal maid. Yes, that was my job before I found out I was one of the Chosen and also how Elli became one of my BFF's. But that's a totally different story!
 Anyway it was right after I joined the Mystique when I met a girl named Halliea. She wasn't like normal girls, for one thing she was already dead. But she had to stay because she died before her time. "Eventually I'll be able to go to the afterlife," she said. "But for now I'm happy where I am!"
 Soon I noticed her fading. When I asked her about it, she wouldn't answer. On April Fool's day she answered my question. "They said that if I don't find the Book before the next sunrise, I'll be stuck on here forever! Except it'll be worse than now 'cause I'll be totally invisible and I won't be able to talk to anyone!" She seemed close to tears, or at least the ghost version of them.

 "What can I do to help?" I asked
 "Well you know that tapestry with the cave studded with gems?"
 "Yeah, what about it?"
 "It's actually a portal to the place where the Book is held."
  Wow, woven portals? I had to figure out how to make those."Ok, so how exactly do I get in?"
  "It's easy. All you have to do is step through!"
  "And you're sure I won't just slam into the wall and look like an idiot?"
  "Yes I'm completely sure. Besides we're already here."
  I looked up. Sure enough, the tapestry was right in front of us.
  "I'd go myself, but ghosts can't go through. Watch." Halliea tried to step closer but an invisible forcefield knocked her off her feet. "Only living people can go through, you see."

I was seriously rethinking my decision to help. Something smelled fishy, and it wasn't the seafood being cooked for lunch. But I trusted Halliea, and besides she was my friend. I would never ever let a friend down if I could help it. So, I took a deep breath and stepped through. There was a blinding flash of light, a rush of wind and I was off! I could hear Halliea's voice in the distance.
  "Thank you Lexi for helping me! And remember that nothing is ever as it seems in there..."

Well, it's not that weird yet. But it gets better. And there's still no word from any of our members about the jewel-thieves. Believe me though, when I say we're going to find them. And- oh I have to go! We're going to go sneak into the palace tonight, ninja-style. Over and out,

Lexi

One of my hyper days (probably was the choco strawberries)

 You know what I just realized? I realized that it seems I've been blogging every day. Blame it all on the time warp, ok? Blogging is kinda addicting too, though.
 In reality, we've been here for a couple of weeks, and I have to say the Groupidontknowthenameof runs a pretty tight ship. Oh, I know their actual name now! But they made me swear not to tell (aww). And the people who stole the jewels? They've vanished off the face of the world. Well, not really (I wish it was true) we just haven't had any appearences from them in a while. Which means I have nothing to do but blog!!!
 Ha, I remember what I came here to say! So, the GDK (that's what I'm going to call the Groupidontknowthenameof from now on) had this epic plan to sneak into the Phirexiell palace to see what was going on, right? They were all like "All we need to know now is if there's any secret passageways!"
 I had to tell them I was only in the palace for a few days. And most of the time I was sleeping. It was worth it just to see the expressions on their faces. We all just burst into giggles when we saw. It's been a loooong time since I've had a good laugh. Now we don't have a plan at all to sneak into the palace, but we'll think of something. Eventually.
 You know what else I just realized? My blog posts have been way too depressing so far. This one's going to be different. Why? 'Cause I am going to tell about one of the weirdest missions I've ever been on. But first some good news. Elli was rolling over and laughing in her coma. So were all the other Chosen. Some may call that weird, But I think it's nice to know that they're happy in their coma-dreamland thing. I'm starting to get sleepy, so I'll write about the mission next time. Looking up to the stars,

Lexi
P.S. Finally a random post (^ ^) I haven't been weird enough on this blog and that's what it's supposed to be for. So hooray!!!

Teamwork, yippee

Let's just say that I don't like pressure, 'kay. So when the guards heard, and they dragged us over for interrogations, it's not exactly my dream come true. And in the midst of all the confusion Rila disappeared. It turns out that after Rila left us all alone, she went to the Bahamas to investigate something. We found that out on the blog she made while we were in the dungeon (we were that bored). Anyway, they kinda managed to find out that I'm the last Chosen who hasn't fallen into a coma. So we (grudgingly, and only 'cause it's an emergency) decide to trust each other, for now. Although if they so much as think about betraying us, I swear I will go on a rampage.
 On another note, I thought I saw someone I recognized here. The person who was pretty much the whole reason I joined the Mystique. But it's probably just my crazy imagination. And I only saw him for a second too... You'd think my imagination would be nicer to me, but I guess stuff just doesn't work out that way. Forever weird,

Lexi
P.S. This is Rila's blog in case you were curious oneofakind188.blogspot.com
And read the comments!!!

Someone help please? With a chocolate on the top?

Well this is awkward. Really embarassing too-
Everyone's telling me too "get to the point already" so here I go.
 Our secret hideout was um, invaded I think by the Groupthatidontknowthenameof. Apparently while we were stalking them, they were stalking us and now we're stuck in a dungeon. Plus they also think we're the "bad guys". Luckily, Srigi managed to snag the laptop while they weren't looking. So if anyone reading this happens to be somewhere in Phiriexell, would you mind letting us out? 'Cause I'm part phoenix, and phoenixes are birds, and birds are meant to be out there in the open air, not stuck in a cage. We would have gotten out of here before, but the walls are element-proof (our magic is element-based, you see), there's no secret passages at all (which is sad 'cause a dungeon without secret passages is like hot coco without marshmallows), and we are under constant surveillance. Unless it's lunchtime! Which only lasts for 10 minutes. So, yeah I should go before one of my friends decides to shout that I'm a Chos- ugh, too late. See you later I hope,

Lexi

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Which one first, good news or bad news?

Well, a band of warriors has risen and their goal is to defeat whoever's stealing the crystals. And BTW, they're all guys. This has the Groupthatidontknowthenameof written all over it. Which means, we all might actually have to work together for once. Which then means sheer torture. But, if it' to save the kingdoms I guess I'll go along with it. For now at least.
Even worse, Elli hasn't woken up yet! I did everything I could, and I even broke down and used some of my phoenix tears. She. Didn't. Wake. Up.
And phoenix tears are supposed to cure everything too...
Anyway, we also found out that the Chosens might be the only people who ever saw their jewels stolen. Well, the only ones alive that is. Everyone else around were killed by some sort of monster. Rila's trying to find out what it was and she doesn't know yet. It's insane 'cause April knows every single species in every world. This mission is getting more impossible, the more we try to figure it out. This is only just the beginning. Hoping you have a happier time than I am,

Lexi
P.S. From now on I'm calling this mission Operation Ninja. It got so out of hand, it actually earned a code name.

Monday, January 16, 2012

Oh no,

This is bad. This is really really bad. Remember that mission I was on, the one where I had to go to school? Well, I was going to the same school as one of my BFFs, Elliandra aka Elli. Elli also happens to be one of the Chosen and actually so am I but more on that later. So anyway, Elli invited the us to a masquerade held in honor of her birthday. Oh yeah did I mention she's the princess of Salindae. It's one of the perks -or downsides- of being a Chosen. We all freaked out cause we haven't been to a party in ages (and I mean that literally) what with all the missions and stuff. When we were all done getting ready, and believe me the costumes totally rocked, we used the portal and walked in the ballroom. The place was a total mess. If it had been all gussied up once it sure didn't look like it now. I look around for Elli and I found her lying down beneath a wall safe that was once covered up by a mirror. I tried to wake Elli up but she woudn't. Which was weird cause Elli  is a very light sleeper and she didn't seem to be knocked out. Then I checked the wall safe and Elli's jewel was gone.
You see all the Chosen have some piece of jewelry that strengthens their elemental powers. In Elli's case, it was a sea shell anklet. In mine, it was a gold chain bracelet with a fire opal charm. Also, the Chosen are the ones who rule their kingdom, since one is born in each kingdom. Not exactly the best idea, dumping all that responsibility on a kid but it was part of an agreement with the magical creatures of this world. I forgot to mention, whoever's going to be the next Chosen is picked by the magic itself. So far it's never been wrong.
Anyway, we've been receiving reports that the jewels are disappearing one by one. The Chosen from the respective kingdoms have been falling into comas like the one Elli's in right now. Guess who the only one left is? Me. So either Phirexiell has been stealing the gems in my absence or *gulp* I'm the next target. Either way, we're going to have to stake out the place. Wish me luck cause I'm pretty sure I need it,

Lexi

Nicknames for everyone!!!

Ugh, I can't sleep and on top of that something exciting is going to happen in the next couple of hours and I'm all hyped up 'cause of it. So everyone gets nicknames!!!
April=Rila
Ruby=Ru
Srija=Srigi (not much of a nickname but hey it's catchy)
Taylor=Tay (Rila made that up)
Alexis=Lexi (of course)

Right now, I'm on a mission where I have to go to school in a kingom called Salindae, which is by where I'm from and BTW homework is the worst thing ever. The person who made it up either wanted to torture kids or was a complete idiot. Anyway that explains why I haven't been able to blog lately.
So I guess I'll talk about the Mystique a little more. You know about all the other worlds right? We have members in each world. Ru, Taylor, Rila, Srigi, and I are the main ones though, because of the narnia effect which states that in diferent worlds time passes differently. Me and the gang are somewhat immortal due to the fact that we all have some magical creature blood. I'm part phoenix because of an accident that practically ripped my whole life away from me, and I know Rila is a dragon shapeshifter. I'm not sure what the others are though. After all I've been here a grand total of six months, according to HQ time, and I've been on missions for most of it. Oh, we also have a rival group but everyone refuses to tell me their name. Apparently once upon a time we were all one group fighting for the happy ending. But after an argument it started to divide, boys against girls. A lot of the girls were heartbroken as they were dating some of the guys. They knew the group was going to fall apart sooner or later so they followed along. So technically thegroupidontknowthenameof is on our side but we have different ideas about happy endings. And some of them are stuck up, arrogant jerks. Honestly, I don't know what the girls saw in them. But I guess it would be nice to fall in love. Ta ta for now

Welcome to the awesomeness

Welcome everyone, although anyone who doesn't believe in magic should turn around and go back to whatever they were on before this. Because we use a lot of it. Also people who don't like the words random, epic, bizzare and ninjas. I'll try to resist the urge to use them, though Oh I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Alexis, but you can just call me Lexi. I'm a part of a group called the Mystique and we travel from world to world and try to um, save the day or help the person who was supposed to do it. And yes there are different worlds but they're not always in the same universe as earth or whatever world youre in. At the moment Im in HQ which is really really awesome. Anyway my friend Taylor ( BTW shes also a member) came back from one of her missions with a thing called a laptop. So the rest of the gang ( Ruby, April and Srija) and I made her teach us how to use it. Then I found a blog named realm travelers so then I wanted to make a blog myself and well here we are. Uh oh April's calling me. She sounds angry. I hope she didn't trigger the prank meant for Ruby. Ahhh she's coming! Gotta run, bye O.O
