The female voice yelled at Chiaki, "hello!! She said her voice echoing within the cave, almost immediately all the others look her direction to see nothing.
The seven children overwelmed with curiosity began to search around for the girl that they had heard. Do you think it was a ghost Hanibi said with an excited expression on her face,
let's hope not, I don't think Ryuko would be able to handle it she says as she covers her mouth with her hands and begins to giggle,
I am not scared of ghost's responded ryuko while hiding his shaking hands behind his back.
Alright than let's find the voice Hanibi shouted before leading the group forward.
As the children searched to find the voice it began to get farther from them as it humed a little toon, While the children followed the sounds that they heard,the children came across a bright sparkling trail, a gorgeous golden trail which the seven children decided to follow.
They travel through the bright cave as the children follow the trail of flouting lights, stepping in puddles, getting caught in vines and exploring the unexpected things that would occasionally appear as they followed the trail.
Upon walking they came across a dead end, they found themselves sleepy and started to dose off, the children were surrounded by bubbles, bubbles that filled the room and put all the children to sleep, except for Toshi who was already asleep.
Toshi who was half asleep opened his eyes just slightly to see him and his friends laying down on an open flower field, not long after the others began to wake up to the beautiful flower bed that they lay within the second to wake was Chiaki who was uninterested in the flowers, and more intrigued by the huge tree that stood two hundred and fifty meters in the sky, a famous tree known throughout the world as a myth, a tree that no human had ever layed there eyes upon the great world tree, the tree that is said to have more mana then even the dragons.
A minute later the children are seen looking up att the tree in aw, for a minute, then two minutes, and three, the children found themselves stareing for over ten minutes before Kuroi, broke the silence with one simple word of adoration "incredible" is what she said, that simple word was enough to get everyone out of their daze.
Hanibi:"hold up where are we!!"
Chiaki:"i don't know but it's amazing!"
Mamoru:"you should be more couscous"
ryuko:"i agree what if it's dangerous"
Moriko:"don't be a party pooper"
Toshi:"it is possible for us to die you know"
Kuroi:"if we die then we die"
ryuko:"that's not very reassuring!"
Chiaki:"don't worry it'll be fine"
Hanibi:"that's right it will all turn out well"
Mamoru:"isn't that a bit too optimistic"
Toshi:"don't start, arguing with them is tiresome"
"Guys the humans are awake now," said the quiet female voice that they had heard earlier, the children's necks snap to look in the direction of the voice to see nothing but an endless field of flowers.
"Down here" said the female voice in a playful tone, the children look down at the flowers all of them confused and wondering where the girl that had been speaking was. "hehe they can't find us said another voice that they haven't heard before, "find us" chanted the numerous little voices.
"where are they" Chiaki asked with a flustered expression on her face, "just how many of them are there" said Hanibi as she frantically searched the flower field. I saw a flower move yelled Moriko as she pointed to the moving flower, the others see her pointing and look that direction and see a flower move, suddenly all the flowers began to move, and underneath they found another being of fairytales and legends, a creature that is easily recognized by most, this is especially so for young children who still believe in their existence.
A gasp can be heard from Moriko who was the first to see it, and a loud yell from Chiaki who was the most excited, "it's a fairy!!!"
She yelled.
Hanibi:"are you a fairy." She said with an excited expression, her eyes practically glowing.
"Yes we are all fairy's" said a tiny girl who then floated and taps Chiaki on the nose.
"We are low level fairy's, we all share the name of Lumi."
Hanibi:"this is so cool."
chiaki's:"amazing, your glowing."
Moriko:"everything here is amazing."
Mamoru:"where even is here."
Lumi:"this is the sacred land known as the luminous forest the land where the world tree grows."
Kuroi:"how did we get here."
Lumi:"we brought you here, you are the only humans to ever be allowed into this sacred space."
ryuko:"why were we brought here then."
Lumi:"that because you have a strong affinity with the world tree, so we fairy's decided to allow you guys to awaken your elements along side the world tree."
Lumi;"we decided upon this the second you guys entered the forest."
Toshi:"wait you guys knew when we entered the forest."
Lumi:"of course we did, we know about everyone that enters, we fairy's help guide all who enter, we make sure no one starves, loses their way, run into monsters, we are the reason no one has ever died in this land.
We guided you guys here because we have a special mission for you, we wish for you guys to grow strong and become the "dragon guard" Lumi announces while looking at the children with anticipation for their answers.
The children as young as they were did not care about the context of what being a dragon guard implies the one word "dragon" was enough to get them t agree.
Their eyes practically glowing as they looked up at the fairy that was hovering over them,
One child almost just as excited as the others ponders, what is the dragon guard? Toshi asks the fairy
To answer that I will have to tell you a story, Lumi says as she signals with her hands for the children to gather around.
And one by one the children gather excited. Listening to stories is one of the groups favorite things to do.
Lumi begins to talk ok then lets begin, Long ago…
