This is the story that shows interesting things can happen to everyday people! A tale filled with great adventures and struggles! The person it happen to is as normal as normal can be, or so it seems.. Can she do what she has been asked of her and does she really have magical powers? Let's find out as we enter the powerful and mysterious world of Elemental Fury!

Cassandra, a young girl of 13, slowely opens her eyes. She lies in her large purple bed in a blue room full of many strange toys and objects with the theme of space. Her long blue hair flows gently down her back and her icy silver eyes are only half open. She wears a long black night dress with silver stars on it. She slowely climbs out of bed and stretches her arms. "Another beautiful day!" She says with a smile as she looks out of the window, the strong sunlight makes her eyes shimmer and shine. Now, Cassandra lives in England in a small village called North Weald. She is your average girl, quite unpopular at school but she doesn't seem to mind. She has quite a lot of friends who understand her but do they understand everything? Today was her first day back to school, being in Yr 9 now at Cherry Blossum Senior School. She was great in English and Science but she seemed to be getting worse at Maths. Her Art was ok too, but I guess it's best to get on with the story, don't
you agree?

After putting on her school uniform she made her way to the bus stop. She wore black trousers, a white shirt, a black tie and a black jacket (Black was the main colour at school). She also wore shiney black shoes and long white socks that were pulled up. She had hair long sky blue hair in a ponytail and on her shoulder she carried a dark blue backpack with a gold star on the front of it. She arrived at the bus stop just as the school bus had arrived, she climbed on with the others and sat on her own. A small boy who sat in front of her turned around to talk with her. He looked very young but was in her class, he had short golden hair and hazel brown eyes. He wore the same uniform but with a black belt and silver belt buckle. His large red bag sat beside him. His name was Alex Riko and he was best friends with Cassandra, they always hung around with each other.

"Hey Cass, I hope you had a good holiday!" Alex said with a friendly grin.

"I did, thank you for asking Alex, how are you today?" She asks with a gentle smile.

"I'm fine, I always am! How are you?" He asked and came to sit next to her, carrying his bag across the floor.

"I'm fine thank you.. Say, have you seen Lucia?" She asks as she looks around. "I haven't seen her today..". Lucia was also best friends with Cassandra even though she didn't get along with Alex. She was very smart and in every top class, that is why she was unpopular. All of them were unpopular for a reason, Alex because he was small, Lucia because she was smart and Cassandra because she was just...differant. Now Lucia had shoulder length brown hair and emerald green eyes, she wore a skirt instead of trousers and she always wore big blue goggles on her eyes. She suddenly came running up to Cassandra, she pushed Alex out of the way and sat next to Cassandra.

"Hi Cassy!" She said with a big smile.

"Hi Lucia!" Cassandra replied happily.

"Uh oh, it's goggle face..." Alex muttered.

"I heard that!" Lucia said angrily as she adjusted her goggles. "Cassandra! you'll never guess what I found on on the holidays!" She carried on excitedly.

"A brain?" Alex chuckled.

"Grr.. No, it's really cool! I'll show you after school Cassy!" She smiled and the bus stopped. They climbed out and made their way to class.

At their last lesson, English, Cassandra was asked to read a little of the Balcony Scene from Romeo and Juliet, a famous play written by William Shakespeare. The person who was chosen to play Romeo was a new boy, he had long purple hair and icy blue eyes. He was quite tall and slimish, he looked over at Cassandra and then looked at his book, his name was Jack Caran.

"Ay me!" Cassandra spoke her first two words nervously.

"She speaks! O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art. As glorious to this night, being o'er my head. As is a winged messenger of heaven. Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes. Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him. When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds. And sails upon the bosom of the air." Jack replied with a soft and gentle yet heartless and cold voice.

"O Romeo, Romeo! Where for art thou Romeo? Deny thy Father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be sworn by love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet" She said as she glanced across at his icy eyes, she seemed to gain courage by hearing his words.

"Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?" Jack spoke slowely and well. Just before Cassandra was to speak again the bell rung.

"Oh well, we shall continue tommrow. Thank you Cassandra, thank you Jack." Said their teacher as everyone picked up their things and began to leave the class.

Cassandra, Alex and Lucia walked down the hall together, Jack passed them with all the popular people around him.

"Oh Cassandra, isn't he handsome!?" Lucia said with love-sick eyes.

"You call that handsome?" Alex muttered under his breath.

"I don't know.. He looks ok I guess.." Cassandra said as she looked at the ground.

"OK!? He is much more than ok, Cassy!" Lucia said slightly annoyed. Cassandra stopped walking so Alex and Lucia stopped also. She looked up at them both.

"He is popular, I am not. I am Juliet, he is Romeo. Although in Romeo and Juliet they are lovers, in the real world we are rivals! I tell his skills are very good when it comes to Shakespeare, but mark my words! I shall be better!" She says raising her voice slightly.

"Cassy? I've never seen you so competitive before.." Lucia says looking quite puzzled.

"Me either.. Are you ok, Cass?" Alex asks looking a little worried.

"I'm fine.." Cassandra muttered, blushing.

After the three climb off of the bus Lucia leads them towards her house.

"So what is it you're planning to show us Lucia?!" Alex asks with curiousity.

"You'll see..." Lucia says quietly with a grin.

"Is it one of your inventions Lucia?" Cassandra asks.

"No..." Lucia says, still grinning teasingly.

After a while of walking they reach Lucia's house. She took them to her back garden which was HUGE! It was full of metal parts from every invention you could think of! The latest of technology was just dumped in her back garden! She dragged them right down to the back of the garden where a strange looking lump of metal lay. It seemed to be a robot, it had a large round body, a small head and two springy legs. It's eyes were as big as saucers and were a lime green. Lucia turned it around to show a picture of a lion carved into it's back.

"It's the strangest machine I've ever seen!" Lucia said happily.

"Can you fix it Lucia?" Cassandra asked curiously.

"It's really cool Lucia!" Alex excalimed excitedly.

"I think I can, it shouldn't be too hard..." Lucia said as she examined the strange metal creature. It seemed that they were being watched by two icy blue eyes lurking in the shadows, like the eyes of Jack.

"I.. I sense someone.." Cassandra said quietly. Lucia and Alex looked at her in a puzzled way.

"Sense someone?" Alex asked.

"What do you mean Cassy?" Asked Lucia.

Suddenly Jack stepped out from behind a load of trees at the end of Lucia's garden.

"What are you doing in my garden!?" Lucia asked angrily. He blushed and walked over to them, he was wearing blue jeans and a black t-shirt. Around his neck was a golden star pendant, Cassandra noticed this straight away and eyed it curiously.

"I'm sorry Miss Lucia, I kind of got lost and somehow ended up here." He smiled, his voice was soft and gentle.

"It's ok.. Just get a map next time! And.. How did you know my name?" Lucia asked suspiciously.

"I know all of your names, Miss Lucia, Lady Cassandra and Sir Alex. I heard them at school."

"Please, just say our names. We need no Miss, Lady or Sir" Alex said quite happy to talk to another boy for once.

"Cassandra, why are you so quiet? When you were talking in English I thought I might get the luck of hearing your beautiful voice again.." Jack said softly and walked over to Cassandra, he lifted up her hand and kissed it gently. This caused Cassandra to go bright red.

"Say something Cassy!" Said Lucia as she giggled madly.

"Pfft..." Alex muttered something to himself.

"I... I... Hello.." Cassandra said quietly and thought to herself "Hello!? That's all I come up with!? I'm a total idiot..."

"Seeing you is such a pleasure, your soft skin, your rosy cheeks and your wonderous silver eyes..." It seemed that Jack's face stayed emotionless and cold, he thought to himself "I must get close to her, I sense great power within her and her friends. They are the ones...".

"Come on you two! I have a lot of work to do here!" Lucia said impatiantly.

After leaving Lucia's house everyone went home. Cassandra went up to her room and got changed, now she was wearing a long white skirt that reaches her ankles, a white t-shirt and a pink jacket over it. She sat at her dressing table and looked at her reflection.

"That Jack.. he seems so nice yet I sense something strange about him... Is he here to harm us? What are these feelings I keep getting? As if I have some kind of strange power..." She spoke quietly to herself then suddenly there was a knock at the door. "Umm.. Come in!" She said as she turned to the door. The door slowely opened and there stood Jack, he walked over to Cassandra.

"Uh, hi. Your Dad let me in.." He spoke with his emotionless face once again.

"Huh? My Dad? Unlike him to let a boy go anywhere near my room.." She muttered as she looked at the floor. Jack suddenly knelt down and lifted Cassandra's chin.

"Uh.. Jack.." Cassandra looked at him very puzzled. He suddenly leaned towards her and kissed her softly on the lips, once again she had gone bright red. Jack stood up and walked out of the room. Cassandra almost fell out of her chair. "What the heck was that all about!?".

The next day Cassandra was late for school, she quickly put her clothes on and ran out of the door. "Oh no! I don't believe I'm late!" She shouted angrily as she headed for the bus stop when Jack suddenly seemed to appear out of nowhere. "Jack?" She quickly stopped so not to bump into him.

"You're not going to school today so don't worry about being late Lady Cassandra" Jack said coldly.

"Huh? What do you mean?" She narrowed her eyes at him angrily.

"I'm taking you somewhere... Into another world..." He said as he started to walk closer to her.

"What? What the heck are you up to!?" She shouted angrily and grabs a stick off of the ground which was something she would never usually do but a weird power inside told her to defend herself and she went to hit him but he grabed the stick and threw it away.

"Come on, let's go.." He grabbed her arm.

"Let go!!" Cassandra shouted as she hit him but nothing seemed to work. A few seconds later they had disappeared and reappeared in a very strange place. All you could see was black and small dots of light, like stars. Jack had disappeared and Cassandra floated whilst hugging her legs. "Where am I? What is going on? I feel so scared yet feel so safe..." Her silver eyes glittered in the darkness, she had no idea at all of where she was.

"You are traveling to my world.. To find your true powers... The powers within.." Jack's voice spoke, it echoed around softly.

"Your world..." Cassandra whispered then in a flash of light she was floating in the sky. Below her was a large forest and further away was a beautiful castle, she suddenly started to fall but Jack appeared and grabbed her. He had large, white, feathered wings and flew her down to the ground inside the forest.

"What's going on, Jack!? Tell me now!!" She jumped out of his arms and glared at him angrily.

"Relax, you're going to be here for a while yet." Jack said as his wings turned to gold dust and blew away.

"H-How come you have wings!? Are you to do with the weird things I have been sensing lately!?" Cassandra asks loudly in anger and confusion.

"Uh, kind of. Look, Cassandra. You are in my world, a kingdom called Relia. Named after the Godess Relia, this world is like no other and it is in danger! Without you, Lucia and Alex, it cannot be saved!" Jack said in a serious tone.

"Lucia and Alex!? Oh no!" Cassandra exclaimed worriedly.

"Don't worry, they'll be here in about 3.. 2..." Just before Jack finished talking a bright light appeared above them, Alex and Lucia fall out of the bright light along with the robot that Lucia found.

"Ow..." Alex moaned.

"Where are we?" Lucia asked as she slowely stood up. Cassandra went over to Alex and helped him up.

"We are in Relia, a great kingdom.. Until now... It is under threat because of an evil sorceror. He is trying to take over the world starting with Relia!" Jack said.

"Sounds like some kind of video game or anime.." Alex muttered.

Now, Relia had been under threat for months and the reason Jack summoned the help of Cassandra, Alex and Lucia is because they held strong magic power inside them just like himself. They all had differant element type magic, Jack's was Earth. They had to try and stop the sorceror but Jack was not sure how. After explaining all of this to Lucia, Cassandra and Alex, Jack decided to release their magic powers.

"Release it!?" Cassandra asked confusedly.

"That's right, Alex, come here." Jack said as Alex walked over to him. Jack put his hand on Alex's heart and Alex started to glow. "I call apon the power of the stars, give this child the power he needs!". A very strong light surrounded Alex.

A soft yet cold female voice spoke inside Alex's head "I am Relia Kinsei, you have the element of Water ,Alex, use your powers well..." A wall of water surrounded Alex then the light and the water disappeared. Jack did the same thing to Lucia, she had the element of Fire. When it was down to Cassandra it was said she did not have an element but more of a gift, the gift of the stars...
