“What!?” I asked, getting more confused by

“Your mother, Mariana Flare, was the
previous Guardian of Fire. But since her untimely passing, along with all the
other Guardians,” Chryselium stopped for a second, and then continued, “A new
generation of Guardians was made. All of the Guardians chose their heir. Your
Mother chose you, Alex Flare, to protect Orion using the power of the Flame.”
The Silverwings stopped flying, and landed.

every entrance.
“Where are we?” I asked
“River City, biggest city in Orion” She
walked up to and entrance, and looked back at me, “Well, aren’t you going to

“No trespassing allowed,” the one said to
us. Chryselium sighed and showed them her left wrist, revealing a birthmark

“Show them your wrist, the left one,” she
said. I did as I was told though mightily confused. I did have a birthmark, one
shaped like a flame, but I didn’t think it that big of a deal. The guards let
me through, and guided us to an empty ballroom, with a throne watching over it.
Inside of the throne was a girl my age, wearing a fancy dress and even fancier
crown.
“Hello, pleased to meet you,” she said “I am
Elanour River, Queen of River City, and Guardian of Water,”
