Mission to Mars: HomeKayla stood in the rain, dressed in all black. She stared down at the stone in the ground. It read: RIP Clyde Trace Parker. She had been staring at it for hours. Her mother walked up behind her and put her hand on Kayla's shoulder. Instead of the normal warmth a mother could provide, she gave a cold dark feeling.Mission to Mars: Home in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

You do not know them at all.

Mission to Mars: Reaching outWe were in the valley on Earth. We were just entering a new part of our lives. I was twelve at the time so she had to have been fourteen. Our dad was at work, so our mom took us to the valley. She said that Kayla and I could wander off for awhile and meet her back at the car in two hours. We were walking down the bike path in the autumn. The trees were all aligned on the sides just like the ever reds. The breeze blew and leaves were letting go of their branches and onto somewhere else by wind. We stuck to the right like a road and let the bikers pass us when they were creeping up on us.Mission to Mars: Reaching out in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

Alivaril
Word quickly spread around the school of the coming duel; like Kethowyn had said, teamwork is pretty much nonexistent and always temporary. A six versus seven fight, on top of the six being the first "dark magi" was too good to miss. Personally, I think that Yunoko enjoyed herself waaay too much. The look of brief panic on that bully's face- we now know that his name is "Ancar"- was still worth going through the trouble of finally having to show that we are light magi.
The next morning, we had to get up awfully early in order to get ready for the duel; we wore the plain-

She was feeling less then optimistic about this group's chances of survival; word had it that most of the newcomers had little to no control over their abilities. The unwritten Rules called for some time for them to get acqainted with their abilities, but she seriously doubted that they would be able to master it quickly enough to survive, even with her best efforts to teach them.

Prologue
Four hundred years ago, a large, glowing, color changing gem the size of a house was found, after a large explosion destroying all vegetation for almost 3/4 of a mile around. Any attempt to break it up into smaller pieces to make it into jewelry was met with a dulled pickaxe, no mark on the gem and a worker unwilling to try again. Then things began to get strange.
First off, any team that attempted to break it was met with a small explosion (often leading to several injuries) along with anything wood in anything nearby growing and turning into a small tree. On the bright side, the forest started to

Their screams pierce the darkness.
They are creatures that hide within it,
Dodging the light of the moon and stars,
Their roars can be heard from miles away,
Their cackling is so loud that it almost seems
That they are behind you
Watching,
Searching.
They wait until you close your eyes,
Until you're consumed by your own fantasies,
Your own darkness.
And as we dream helplessly
They cannot be stopped,
But what ever you do
Don't be afraid of the dark.
