A Wandering Mind

Hey guys. June is very depressed and is speaking in third person because he is depressed. All thanks to Kejing who led June to fail the SAT because he read her post too early. No, I'm kidding. The SAT was really easy. I totally owned it >:D. I would also like to thank Jack for a great match today that resulted in a tiebreaker. 7-6, with a tiebreak score of 7-5. I won but it was hard earned.

I don't sleep in class as much anymore. In fact, the only classes I sleep in are Spanish and Lang, my last two classes, compared to sleeping in Statistics and Calculus, my first two classes. I have to tell you, it's SO much better that I'm awake in the morning. It feels like the huge rock of pressure has been lifted from my mind.
As a result, my mind started turning its gears and slowly thought creative thoughts. My mind wandered as my Spanish teacher attempted to teach the class (key word "attempted") some Spanish grammar. It was quite interesting. A sudden desire to make a flash movie (or an animated cartoon using a computer program) crashed into my consciousness. I have no idea why or where it came from but my mind didn't stop there. In fact, it gave me a whole story to base my flash on. I mean an ENTIRE plot from start to finish with ideas as to which music to use, some of the characters' names, how the plot should develop, a lot of things. Okay, I exaggerated. I didn't think up of an entire story but I came up with most of it. The takes an Avatar the Last Airbender approach but not entirely. So here is what I have:

There are 4 mages who each control one of the four elements: fire, water, wind, and earth. They band together to defeat the Shadow Master, who summoned the Colossus Behemoths (giant, stone, titans) to force a dictatorship on each of the lands. They go on an epic battle and finally defeat the Shadow Master, but not before he shoots off a curse that zaps the mage of water to who-knows-where. The Shadow Master laughs as he dies, telling the remaining mages he had an apprentice almost as deadly as him. He dies and the scene fades out.

Three years later, many people presume the mage of water as dead and the rest of the mages spread out to live their own lives. The mage of earth goes to live a life as a hermit on the fringes of the Great Desert, the mage of fire decides to look for the apprentice, and the mage of wind (who is a girl) becomes queen of a land (I want to call the land Lapia for some reason). Inside Lapia (for now anyway), there is one specific girl named Maki. She is a somewhat strong willed girl who wants to train for an army division called The Warriors. The Warriors recruit anyone with magic potential but only the elite are able to join. Though magic users are not able to use the elements like the four mages, they can shape their energies into whatever they choose such as a bow and arrow or a sword and shield, etc.. Maki's father became a general for the Warriors which fueled her desire to join and become a great Warrior as well.

Maki had just finished her private training session with a weapons master who was a good friend of her father. She runs home hurriedly because it is almost night and a gang called the Tigers usually come out and terrorize anyone unfortunate enough to be in the streets. Sprinting to her house, she fails to notice a child (about 5 years old) and accidentally trips over him. The kid cries and Maki is appologizing over and over again. She asks him if he has any parents and questions the rushing people around her but to no avail. Without much choice, she takes the kid home with her where her mother expresses how cute he is.

The next day, Maki questions almost everyone in town in hopes of finding the kid's parents but nobody knows the child or his parents. It's almost time for her lesson with the weapons master so she takes him with her to the training session. There, the kid distracts her energy-bow-and-arrow technique and angers her. They lose track of time and Maki hurries out with the kid at the end of the lesson. Unfortunately, they meet the Tiger gang, who also have a few magic users, the leader being the most capable. After a struggle, the leader pins Maki to the wall and is about to kidnap her. The kid is crying and beating the leader's leg with his little fists. The leader laughs and kicks the kid into a puddle. As the leader is ordering the rest of the gang to tie Maki up, the kid gets up and his eyes change into a crystal clear blue. He points a glowing finger at the leader and the water from the puddle rushes into the leader and freezes him. The kid smiles a mischievious smile and then freezes the rest of the gang. The kid passes out and Maki is stunned. There is only one person in the world who can manipulate water: the mage of water.

That's pretty much the first episode.
Lastly, Character Profiles:
Mage of Water (before transformed into a child): Age 15. The youngest mage of the four. He was considered a prodigy and even joined the Warriors at the age of 12. He has a calm personality, is actually a great dancer, and the most intelligent out the the four.
Mage of Fire: Age 22. He has a very belligerent personality and believes in fighting with brute strength compared to the strategic fighting of the mage of water. I already made a fighting move for him called the Phoenix Whip ^_^. Also, he has a crush on the mage of wind.
Mage of Wind: Age 20 She has a very bubbly personality. She is very happy most of the time and she always thought the mage of water as an extremely cute kid, much to his annoyance. She always wanted to see what royalty felt like and eventually got her wish.
Mage of Earth: Age 25 His personality is sort of like a woman-chaser. Though he is a failure at getting girls, he is a potions master, and the most buff of the four. He decided to live as a hermit in order to get away from society and its rejectful girls.
Maki: Age 17. Strong willed and very ambitious. She REALLY wants to join the Warriors and as a result, trains with the weapons master almost everyday. She has problems controlling her magic though.

Wow, a lot of typing. I probably won't even make this flash but it gave me something to write about. So join us tomorrow for another fantabulous post from Caroline!!!
