howler - the beginning after the beginning.

i seemed to have lost track of what day it is. i totally forgot on saturday, and also on sunday. yesterday i dunno what happened. alright, now that you've (hopefully) read the beginning (as in the legend), here is the actual beginning of the actual story. that doesnt really make sense but if i ramble on it will become a mess. i read my original story, and its actually much more interesting than the one i have now. but its more cheesier. and i dont have chapters so ill just give the posts random names. i was gonna change the story a bit, but i never did. and here it is! ha, what a coincidence. i was supposed to post this on saturdays and my story starts on a saturday :P

Saturday is a good day. It is a day to sleep in after a hard week at school or work. A pair of sea green eyes stared out of the round, rain splattered window of a two-storey white house. It was late morning and there wasn't much you could do outside on a rainy Saturday. Fourteen year old Delilah Evans sighed. Her bright eyes blinked as her light brown side fringe brushed against her eyelashes. Her shaggy short hair was sitting on her shoulders, and her arms were hugging her knees. She was a little short, but what she lacked in size she made up in strength. Her nose picked up the faintest of smells and she had a laid back nature, if not a little stubborn.
"So tired," she yawned as her forehead made contact with the cool glass, sending a slight shiver through her body.
"Then go back to sleep!" chuckled a voice behind that flipped her gray hood onto her head.
The voice belonged to her sixteen-year-old brother, Julian. He was tall and had a mop of dark hair on his head. His dark eyes sparkled as he always had a joke on his tongue, whatever the mood. A white shirt hugged his athletic body and grey trackies hid his strong legs. Though he was good at sport, he couldn't beat his sister at the more logical side of life, even if he was older.
"Julian, what the hell are you doing in my room?" Delilah growled.
"Um, I forgot. Wait, it's coming back to me now! Yes, mum said uh, nah I lost it. Just go see her."

Julian let himself a small smile as he watched his sister mutter silent words to herself and make her way towards the door where he was walking. Knowing her for all her life, he moved out of the way. Never mess with Delilah in the morning, especially if it's Saturday. He followed his sister into the kitchen, where their mum was stirring a warm smelling soup. Delilah pulled up a chair next to the white bench and helped herself to a piece of carrot. Roxanne Evans was a model until she had Julian. Her glossy red hair was tied into a loose bun and her hazel eyes were fixed upon her daughter. A white apron was tied around a pale yellow shirt that looked perfect against her olive skin. Even though she stopped full time modeling sixteen years ago, her pictures were still sometimes slapped across magazine ads or the like.
"Delilah honey, can you call your father? His at the supermarket and I need him to get some more eggs."
"And some orange juice!" Julian called from the fridge.
Delilah slid off the chair and grabbed the phone off its holder. Tapping in her dad's mobile number, she walked around the house, listening to the constant ringing of the phone, waiting for the click that indicated that her father had heard her calling. Just as the computerized answering machine was about to play, a rumble of voices in the background told Delilah her dad had heard. A clear voice answered.

"Evans."
"Hey dad."
"Lilah!" The voice boomed.
"Yes, dad. Mum said to buy eggs and orange juice. Oh, and some ice cream."
"Ice cream? Delilah, winter has just finished. Isn't it a bit cold for ice cream?"
"Nope," She smiled. There was always a time for ice cream, even in the middle of winter.
A sigh echoed through the phone.
"Ok. So eggs, orange juice and choc chip ice cream?"
"Thanks dad. See you soon!"
"Bye bye."

A stream of beeps indicated it was time to hang up and return to her room. As she walked into the kitchen, the hair at the back of her neck stood on end. A frown appeared on her face. Turning just in time, Delilah raised her left arm as it rammed into the small warm body of a black and white spider monkey. Air escaped its lungs as it instinctively wrapped its tail around her arm and swung onto her shoulders. It snatched the phone from her hand.

"You know, normal people ask for something, not jump at them when their back is turned. Seriously Julian, I don't know how we are related. And don't start speaking monkey to me! Turn human if you have something to say. Wait, not now you idiot! Argh!"

Delilah fell to the ground as the monkey grew and changed into her grinning brother that was hugging her shoulders. His smile quickly faded as the girl started to transform like him, but into a totally different animal. He quickly jumped up and ran away, away from the carnivore that was guarding the kitchen. A grey wolf streaked with brown followed him, bounding around corners and leaping up the stairs. Four legs are fast, but Delilah wasn't fully grown and her brother was always going to be faster than her. As she reached the top of the stairs, she caught a glimpse of her brother before he disappeared into his room with a slam of the door. Panting, the wolf walked into another room and transformed back into a human. Delilah walked over to her bed and sat down on the floor with her back resting against the mattress. Her hand reached for her MP3 that was lying around, along with other things that fell off her desk. Stretching the headphones around her head, Delilah turned on the device and tapped along to the beat of the music. She turned her head and saw her navy school diary sprawled out next to her dark blue bulk of a school bag. Reaching over to the battered diary, she flipped to todays date and looked for any homework that was due. Of course, there was always something. Geography. Great. She thought. Flipping her book around, she glanced at a slightly faded timetable. The next time she had geography was on Monday, last period. Opening her diary again, she read the rushed writing that was her way of saying that she should have written it earlier. Q 2-5 pg 17. Not being bothered to look for her geography book, Delilah threw her diary back towards her bag and searched for a better song to listen to. Bored, she climbed onto her bed and lay on her stomach. She closed her and eyes and mindlessly swayed her feet to the drumming. Three and a half songs in, the music ceased. Delilah's eyes flicked open and she sighed. She glanced at her clock. 11:53. Rolling onto her back, Delilah let her mind wander into nothing, her fingers drumming her tummy to a ghostly song. A sudden loud bell rang through the house. She jumped and rose up from her daze.

hehehe did a little editing. i wonder who is at the door. hmmm. haha. well i bought a graphic tablet from ebay today. im very excited. what it is (warning: i suck at explaining things half the time) its a board or tablet that you stick into the computer and you draw on it with a special pen and it comes up on your screen. yeah. and my mother bought me hot pink PJs. which i am wearing now. only because they feel nice. i do not like pink.

Millions of years later, the sun and moon fought again, sending the world into chaos. The guardians and the elements tried their hardest to protect the world but failed. The sun and moon collided again, and every mortal being on the earth was destroyed in a massive explosion. Fourteen days later, the dust settled and the phoenix and dragon were no where to be seen. The elements, overcome by grief, started to rebuild the world and bury the broken bones. As they worked across the land, their tears dropped into the ground, filling it with sorrow. After a year, all the bones were buried and the world had broken up into sections. With their work done, the elements waited for the phoenix and dragon to return. Finally the time came, and with a streak of red and blue, Aliya and Dralion arrived at the feet of the elements. They too started to cry, and as each of the tears they cried fell, an animal and human rose from that place. Shocked, they each travelled to a place in the world and cried on the graves of the fallen. One by one, human and animal alike rose from the earth, forming a bond with the elements. Soon the earth was full again, yet not exactly as before. As the humans rose, the spirits of some animals formed with them, creating two spirits in one body. As the world grew, the humans learnt how to harness that spirit and turn into the animal that possessed them. Thus created the animasapien race. The elements and guardians enjoyed the new race, and decided to take a human form as well, but because they wielded magic, they could take any form they wanted. Only a few million years ago, there was a battle on Sunhill and Moonridge, yet it wasn't between the sun and moon. Humans and animals took sides for the sun and moon, creating a war that raged on for years, killing millions of innocent people and forcing others to take sides. It was named the Moonshine Battle, from the cross of moonlight and sunshine. The guardians and elements couldn't hurt the world again, so they rallied a small army that would stop the fighting and bring peace again. Of the few, they all swore an oath to not choose a side and to protect the secret of the guardian's and elements' true forms. Each was given the magic of the elements and with it, slowed the fighting. But it wasn't enough. In that group, the phoenix and dragon chose two humans to represent them and to entrust them with their magic. Both were given a necklace that was encrusted with the elements' power. Together they ran into battle with the power to save - or destroy - mankind. As they arrived in the middle of the war, they tried to bring peace by creating shields to protect the innocent, but three things happened. The first was that they were caught in the crossfire and were killed by a rain of bullets and arrows. The second was that as they hit the ground, every weapon on the field stopped working and all the people and animals stopped fighting. The third thing still puzzles the greatest minds today. As the blood from the two chosen ones pooled around them, the blood from the fallen leaked to join the puddle, turning it into river, then lake, then sea of blood. As it seeped into the ground, it mixed with the magic tears and encased the bodies in a coffin of diamonds. Then the ground pulled them into the earth, burying the bodies and surrounding the area with a circle of flowers and two stone statues of the fallen heroes. As they people watched in awe, the elements and guardians stepped forward and bowed their heads to the graves. Everyone on the battlefield bowed as well, as they realized that the sun and moon were equal. The dragon and phoenix lifted their heads and cast a ward around the area so that anyone who would step past the field of flowers were to remember the heroes. Of course, the heroes work was not in vain, because as the two sides bowed their head, peace flooded over them and the war ended. Ever since then, both sides have lived together in harmony, and the guardians and elements had a perfect world once more.
