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
