The Eleme Family

A Short Introduction by Thunderboom

Chapter 1 - The Eleme Sisters

"Candice!" Aquaria Eleme shouted, "Where are you?!"

"Right here, little sister." came a voice behind her.

Aquaria spun around.

Leaning against the wall was her older sister, Candice, brushing her fiery-red hair out of her eyes.

"Hi." she said, "So what'd you want me for?"

"I was just curious about where you were." Aquaria replied.

Just then, a huge gust of wind blew past them, messing up Aquaria's light blue hair.

"Hi, guys! Bye, guys!" a voice told them.

"Hey! Slow down, Era!" Candice called out after her youngest sister.

"Aw, man!" Aquaria complained, "I just did my hair, and Era destroyed it already."

A girl with light green hair walked over to them, while at the same time adjusting her glasses.

"Hello, Kana." Aquaria told her sister.

"Hello, little sister." Kana replied.

"Why does everyone look down on me?" Aquaria wondered aloud.

"Well, let's see..." Candice told her, "You're younger than all of us except Era, you're bi, you're-"

"That's enough!!" Aquaria interjected, "You didn't need to answer!"

"If I were you," said another Eleme sister, "I would not be so quick to make Candice tease me."

"What do you want, Yuki?" Aquaria asked her.

"Oh, nothing."

Yuki looked in a mirror and noticed her hairstyle was wrong. She quickly moved her long white bangs so that they covered a third of her face, hiding her right eye.

"Must you be so emo all the time, Yuki?" a girl with dark brown hair asked her.

"Yes, Terra, I must. Otherwise, my outward appearance would not reflect my cold personality." Yuki replied.

"Ah. I see. That makes perfect sense." Terra commented, rolling her eyes.

Chapter 2 – Gomen Nasai

I almost forgot the ages of these girls! They are, from youngest to oldest:

Era: 10

Aquaria: 16

Kana: 18

Terra: 21

Yuki: 23

Candice: 24

We now bring you back to your regularly scheduled story.

Chapter 3 – Light & Wind

The five sisters continued arguing happily, while Era watched from the sidelines. She was soon joined by her 19-year-old sister, Akari, who had short, bright yellow hair at the time (she was always changing her hairstyle), and was wearing her glasses, rather than contacts, like she usually did.

"So, Kari," Era asked her, "What've you been up to?"

Akari looked down at her sister.

"You don't want to know."

"Okay, fair enough."

"What have you 'been up to'?"

"I've been running."

"Isn't that unsafe?"

"Not if you do it properly."

Akari glanced at her other sisters.

"So what are they arguing about this time?" she asked.

"I think Candice is teasing Aquaria, Terra is criticizing Yuki, and Kana is doing nothing."

"Okay, thanks, Era."

Akari rubbed her sister's head, not doing anything to her already messed-up grey hair with an ahoge.

Era smiled.

"Could you do that some more?" she asked her sister, "It feels really nice."

Akari smiled.

"Okay."

Chapter 4 - Quest

"Hey!" Era exclaimed, reading the message on her computer, "Someone just found a map to the hidden treasure of Dracopolis, and now they're asking for volunteers to help them out!"

“Uh-huh. That’s nice.” Kana told her.

Era filled out the application, and sent it off to this "Melissa Amastacia" person.

Mere minutes later, a message popped up saying that she had been chosen to join.

"This is awesome!!" she exclaimed, "Soon I'll have enough gold for anything I want!"

Aquaria poked her head in the room.

"Hey, Era," she said, "It's bedtime. Go to sleep."

"Oh, okay..." Era said, and she went to bed, dreaming of all the stuff she would get in the virtual world of “Quest”.

The next day, Era found out that Dracopolis was a forbidden city for a reason, and she also discovered the reason of why no one had ever gotten through it before. If it wasn’t for Melissa, the other members of the party (Era, Amity, Niho, and Aramil), wouldn’t have even made it half as far as they did. However, at the end of the day, they had only gotten through a tiny part of the city.
