Four islands lie above a sea of nothingness--four kingdoms, four peoples, four elements, all carefully balanced.
Earth, a rich, fertile kingdom, whose people farm and prosper, and whose cities are thick with the sounds of merchants hawking their wares.
Air, a kingdom of tall mountains, whose lofty spires reach till they look like they can touch the sky, and whose people study and grow lerned.
Fire, a desert kingdom of sand, whose rolling dunes conceal secrets, and whose people carve caverns into the sandstone cliffs, delving deep into the rock.
Water, a harsh, cold kingdom, whose people survive and become strong, building cities and castles through labor and determination.
Until now, the kingdoms have been at peace, knowing that war could break the balance, tip the scales, and bring ruin upon all of them. Flying to and fro in huge balloons or airships, wary, but secure, they have traded.
Until now. Rumor has spread that the people of the fire kingdom have stolen the earth kingdom's Cordis Stone--each kingdom has one, a stone or gem infused with magical power. If the rumers are true, and if the fire people cannot be stopped, they will attack the now weakened earth kingdom, and the destruction could mean the end of all the four kingdoms. Secretly, members of all of the kingdoms have banded together, calling themselves the Elementals. They plan to restore the Earth Cordis stone to the earth kindom. If the tales are true, the stone has been placed in the center of the fire kingdom, deep within an abandoned system of maze-like caves. But what dangers must be faced to recover it? Can all of the Elementals be trusted?

Name: Kahara Alrima
Age: 15-ish
Gender: Female
Nationality: Air
Appearance: Short and skinny, with long blond-silver hair thats normally braided. She wears light tshirts and shorts, with slender, pale limbs and sky-blue eyes. She braids silver-blue ribbons into her hair sometimes.
Background: Third child of a poor family, lived with them for most of her life until a great storm killed her parents and siblings. She has lived in a small hut on the tallest mountain all alone since then.
Personality: Quiet, observing, resourceful. Always knowing the answer, and hardly speaking. when she does speak, her musical voice draws the attention of everyone nearby. She gets offended very easily. She's the kind of person who you tell your secrets too, and she'll keep them. Never really had any friends, but should/will make some in the RP. Despite her quiet nature, she's really a fiery person who's quick to respond, even if its just a mutter.
Quirks: she has a unearthly longing for friends, and finds herself watching people together for hours after hours. She is strangely attracted to the cloud-animals, and has one for a pet. (Named Jimora, looks like a cross between a cloud, a cat, and a fox) and dont make her angry or you'll regret it...
Flaws: She will do anything for a family... i hope she finds one in the RP!
Are they one of the Elementals?: yup!
NOTE: this character can be burned by one of the Fire people... heh

Hi HeroesOfOlympus!
This is a Solo Write, which means that the person who started writes a story with the characters that people submit.
I'm sorry, but I'm no longer accepting character submissions, since I've already started with the story, and as much as much as I think that Kahara is an interesting character, I wouldn't have a place for her in the plot. Also, since I've already told others that I am not going to have any more characters, if I put her in than others would be offended.
Once again, sorry about that!
(May 13, 2020 - 6:57 pm)
nah its fine! i love the story and am content to read along without my character in it. im trying to get in to several other RPs aswell so maybe ill get into another! keep writing, this story is epic and i love love love love your style!

I was also too late, too. It's not the first time that it's happened to me. So that's why I'm not reading it. ALso, @Story Weaver, I worked my brain so hard to find Marina's name, and now Marina's not gonna be in it? No worries. I'm gonna go cry now. *Cries for hours and hours and hours*

Hey everyone, the Story Weaver has stopped accepting characters. To join a solowrite you should post your character soon after the solowriter has made the thread. It’s hard to incorporate characters in to a story once the story has already started.

Part Four.
“I had been afraid of that.” Methu
said. He ruffled his hair in a distracted way. “I was hoping that I would have
a little more time—I’ve learned so much. You don’t think that I might have it
for just a little while longer?”
Demi shook her head emphatically. “It’s needed
back home. The drought, you know.”
Arwin nodded his agreement. “Be glad that no
one except us knows where it is. It’s dangerous to be in possession of
something like that.”
“I suppose you’re right.” Methu said, reluctance in every
word. “Well, go fetch it, Aella.” He said.
She started up the stairway. While she
was gone, Methu filled them in on his discoveries.
“Did you know that the
Cordis actually resists attempts to destroy it?” He asked, standing up from his
chair.
“How would you know that?” Venna asked. She saw him redden.
“Certain
tests and such, you know. I uh, well,” He swallowed. “I tried to shatter it on
the floor, but when I was about to throw it down, it sent out a wave of magical
energy, knocking me, not to mention Aella and Adonis, completely unconscious
for half an hour. My theory is that it uh, incapacitates anyone who is not of
the Earth Elemental kingdom. Amazing, is it not?”
“Amazing.” Said Char.
Aella
returned from the top of the stairs, carrying something carefully. She handed
it to Methu, who held it out for the others to inspect. The Cordis was a small
grey river stone, plain except for the patterns of ancient leaves imbedded in
its surface. Unimpressive as it might appear, they all felt the aura of power
that it sent out.
Arwin reached for it, but Aura pushed in front of him and
took it from Methu.
“Who said you could have it?” Arwin asked.
“We didn’t agree
to that.” Aella said.
“Jarnel said I should have it.” Venna said, which was not
the truth.
Char spoke up. “Shouldn’t we give it to Demi, since she’s actually
Earth?”
“I’m also Earth.” Arwin said.
“True, but I do feel like Demi would be a
bit more trustworthy, no offence.” Methu said. Aura reluctantly handed the
Corids to Demi. Demi held it for a moment, tracing the engravings with one
finger, then put it in her pocket.
They bid Methu farewell, then left the tower,
with Aella leading the way back down the path their boat. As soon as she
reached the grass outside, Char did a happy little skip.
“I can’t believe it
was that easy! Demi actually has the Cordis! Jarnel will be so proud.”
Her joy
was infectious, and the others couldn’t help but smile. The way down the path
was easier than the way up, and everyone was more cheerful, as Char talked and
laughed with Demi and Aella, and Arwin, Venna and Aura kept up a cheerfully
clever banter. No one noticed the Water ship until they reached the bottom of
the path about half an hour later. Made of dark pine wood, it sported a
figurehead of a Water hunter with a longbow. The Water ship lay directly
between them and their boat. No Water soldiers were in sight. The group paused.
“How did that get here?” Aura asked. Venna scanned the area, but there was no
sign of anyone except themselves.
“What do we do?” Char asked, suddenly
nervous. Demi placed her hand protectively over her pocket.
“Let’s run for our
boat.” Arwin said. “I think I know how to pilot it, and if there are soldiers
around, maybe I can get us in the boat before they can react.” Aura loosened
her knives in their sheeths. Aella stepped from foot to foot uncomfortably.
“I’ll start back up the cliff.” She said. “No point in my coming with you if
Arwin can pilot.”
“On three.” Venna said. She counted. They ran, with Venna in
the lead.
All of a sudden, Water soldiers poured out from their ship and behind
the rocks. They wore gray cloaks and blue tunics, and had knives and daggers,
and a few wielded crossbows. All tall, they were superhumanly fast. Even so,
the Elementals had enough of a head start to reach their boat before the
soldiers. They were almost there when Char tripped. A Water soldier grabbed her
and pulled her upright, holding his long, wicked looking dagger to her throat.
“Stop
right now!” He yelled. Demi looked back at the sound of his voice. She
screamed, and the others stopped. The Elementals were surrounded instantly,
Water soldiers grabbing them by their wrists. The soldier released Char, and
she fell to her knees. Demi’s face turned white when she saw the small trickle
of blood running down char’s neck. The Captain pushed his way through the
soldiers.
“I think you know why we’re here.” He said, surveying them. “For the
Cordis. Which of you have it?”
“We already returned the Cordis to the
Earth kingdom.” Arwin said. The captain laughed humorlessly.
“Very funny.
Search them.”
The soldiers moved forward, and Aura made a split-second decision.
She freed her first knife from its sheath and sent it spinning towards the
captain. The second one followed a moment later. The captain’s reflexes were
amazing, and he dodged. Arwin, for once making use of his heavy build, tackled
a soldier who had been moving to draw his sword. A soldier grabbed Venna, and
she drove her heel into his foot. As he doubled over, she sent her elbow
slamming into his nose. Demi pushed Char down out of the way, then ran for the
boat. Stumbling, she collided with a soldier. He pinned her arms to her sides.
A
soldier pulled Arwin off of his friend. Aura screamed as a crossbow bolt
slammed into her foot. Venna, distracted by Aura’s cry, didn’t notice that the captain
was behind her. He gave her a blow to the head with the pommel of his word, and
she crumpled to the ground, unconscious. When the confusion died down, Char,
Arwin, and Demi were tied hand and foot. Venna still lay on the ground, and one
of the water soldiers was treating Aura’s wound. The captain once more ordered
them searched, and the soldiers found the Cordis in Demi’s pocket. The captain
smiled grimly.
“Load them into our ship. The king will be very pleased.” He
turned away.
From the top of the cliff, Aella had watched the whole fight. She
ran to her Airskiff and untied her. She had to tell Jarnel.

Hi!
I just realized I should probably appologize to Quill about what happened to Evryn. Sorry! It really wasn't anything personal about her or you.
I know that the last two posts had a pretty abrupt plot twist. If anyone's confused, just say the word and I can explain.
@Admins, sorry once again about the long post.
(May 15, 2020 - 6:32 pm)
This is great, Story Weaver! Your writing is excellent. No worries about Vryn- you never know what's going to happen when you're exploring cursed caves XD. I can't wait to see what happens next!
(May 16, 2020 - 2:33 pm)
Oof, sorry about the weird formatting this time! Apperently copying and pasting into the word box doesn't work well.
(May 16, 2020 - 5:24 pm)
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
THIS IS SO GOOD SO FAR!!!
I love your writing, The Story Weaver!
I can't wait for the next part!
Thank you for your time!
