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...

I'm reading! And it's great! But, you're sure your not just going off mine? Ugh, now I sound egotistical. That means "big ego", if you didn't know. Ugh! Did it again! Sorry, I've been working at this forever, but I just can't break it! I have a bad habit of sarcasm and bad-mouthing peple, believe it or not. I really try to be nice, but it's hard. I don't know, maybe it's a teenager thing. And I'm only 14! I'd hate to see me at 17... wow, I bet I'll be a total jerk by then....... Anyway, great blog. I love it! Very whimsical!
