Sorry I've been gone so long! Things have been crazy!
I finally figured out how to use my scanner! I thought you might like some old drawings I found the other day. I probably did it when I was twelve or thirteen.

Well, here's the next part of chapter 1, enjoy!

The rainy seasons in Auria were much longer than in Lian or Starian, but the dry season was equally matched something that Raintal lacked. 

Nala was standing on a terrace wrapped in a shawl. The clouds were far off, but moving quickly. She stood listening to the thunder that seemed to issue from the earth it was shaking. The night of the coronation had been stormy and relentless. 

The guests from other countries were staying at Yarren till the weather improved. Although it stopped raining for intervals, the rainy season would not lighten until the third month. 

Nala had found the more time she spent around the nobles the less she liked them. They were all haughty and conceited; she wondered if any of them knew where she had really come from. 

Princess Robina had confessed later that she had made up the story and that she truly knew nothing of Nala's past. Nala kept her distance from all if she could, hoping that she would never become like them. 

She rubbed her arms and felt goose pimples; she had almost decided to go back in when someone said, "there you are". 

She recognized Robina's voice. She felt an urge to send her away; she didn't feel like having company. She decided to just ignore her. Robina came and stood next to her. She looked at Nala, then out at the spectacular view of the wet sands and the rainforests not far beyond the palace grounds. 

"I've always wondered why my father built our palace in the middle of the desert." She said "and as much as I love Starian, I wouldn't mind moving to Auria, it's a lot wetter than back home." 

Nala was confused by her words, why was she telling her this? "You don't have to pretend with me," she said abruptly. "What?" Asked Nala, taken aback. "You know what I mean, your fine manner and speech, I don't care how you talk and act. Even though others might." 

Nala was lost for words; this was something she had never prepared for. From her earliest memories of schooling, Nala had been taught to diagnose everything someone said, and to answer in kind. 

Robina sighed, "I guess you are just like the rest of those over-dressed self-absorbed, arrogant..." "Alright!" Said Nala annoyed by Robina's implications. 

"I haven't been trained to speak with you this way." Robina raised an eyebrow "trained?" "Yes trained. What do you think, I stole the right to be princess?" She said furiously "yes." Nala made an exasperated noise "I didn't choose this!" To Nala's pleasure, Robina backed away a little. Nala leaned forward against the balcony railing "you wouldn’t understand, you are a princess". 

Robina moved closer "try me". 

Ok here is a sentence I wrote a while back, please comment about it if you read it!

Chapter one

The Judgement of the Princess

            Princess Nala's coronation was viewed by thousands of villagers. 

Most from her homeland of Auria, but some rich nobles from other lands had come to see as well. The royal families of the three other lands of Australia, Strairan, Raintal and Lian, had also come. 

Nala's heart hadn’t stopped pounding from the moment she'd awaken that morning, to the time she had risen and walked down the palace steps and seen the smiling faces of her new subjects.  

Nala found herself in the midst of the royals, after the coronation they would naturally want to meet the new ruler. The main hall of Yarran was large but Nala felt suffocated by all the nobles. She was sure none of them knew the true story of how she had become princess and wondered what tales they had been listening to, and what they thought of her now. 

Nala curtsied to what felt like a fifty nobles until she felt someone step on her toes. She had been looking over her shoulder at the time and quickly turned back. The girl who had trodden on her was the last person in the line. She looked to be about Nala's same age but was a few inches taller, her hair was dark brown and let down in a curly mess. She seemed very different from the other nobles, she had dispensed with the usual custom of keeping her hair up at social gatherings, her gown was plain and a bright shade of red, instead of the regular colors of a coronation, purple, gold and white. 

The girl curtsied quickly and said, "sorry." 

Nala didn't know what to do except smile. The fixed smile she had worn all day melted and her smile became genuine. The girl’s appearance and general manner made her want to learn more about this girl. She saw her demeanor change as well. She relaxed her poster and grinned from ear to ear. 

They both curtsied again at the same time, Nala's much more graceful, “I'm Robina, sixth daughter of king Balkon of Starian". Nala noticed Robina's lack of eloquent speech and tried to act the part of princess "I am Princess Nala, ruling monarch of Auria" she said. 

Robina looked at her with a curious expression on her face. "I heard that you came from a distant land, that your father was a mercenary and killed the king. Then he used his spies in the castle to make himself king but you slit his throat with his own dagger and took the crown yourself". 

Robina said this all very quickly and Nala's heart sank just as fast. So this was what people thought of her? 

"That is not true!" said Nala still keeping her composer. Robina frowned as though she would have liked to make Nala loose her temper. "Well then what is true?" asked Robina. 

Nala tried to divert the question, not wishing to tell Robina of her true beginnings as a peasant. This girl had probably been taught to give orders by the time she could talk. "I don't know what you mean." "Come now," she said and she punched Nala's arm lightly. "There must be something in these rumors." 

Nala didn't know what to say to that. "Excuse me, but I must attend to my duties." She walked away from Robina looking around for something to do. 

So I've been requested to post more often and now that my performance (She loves me) is over I'll have more time. The next post is the next part of my story (I still need a name for it!) It's not the whole chapter but this is up to where there will be a pause.

Ok, I guess I'll write about my one and only series.
The fist book is about a girl named Thaea (Th-A-a) and a boy named Feren. They are both in their late teens and are walking through a forest in England when they come across a a giant diamond (or Heaven's Gem as it's known later). The diamond is split into four parts: red, blue, white, and green. Feren touches the red part and becomes immortal and has the power to conjure and manipulate fire. Thaea then touches the blue part and has the power of water.

What they didn't understand then was that touching the magical gem also brings out and strengthens your desires and personality. Feren became evil and Thaea good (although they were both good to begin with, Feren was angry when he touched the gem). From there they have many adventures and more "Element Workers" are created.
In the second and third books (maybe fourth) the descendants of the first "Element Workers" are brought together to form a school (I.M.T.Y Institute for Magically Talented Youth). The main characters are:
Jessica 16 (one of the last with the power of water and the newest member of the school)
Alex 18 (the wild and athletic girl with the power of wind that, nobody really knows about)
Collin 17 (the powerful fire wielder and subsequently Jessica's crush)
Sam 12 (the small kid always getting in trouble, but surprisingly strong with his power of earth).
It's kind or complicated but that's the general idea. Hope you like it!

Dragon for fire
Dolphin for water
Unicorn for wind
Lizard for earth

Synopsis
Nala is only a simple village girl, but through a surprising turn of events she finds herself crowned princess of Auria. Nala rules for only a few months, finding friends in the rare, mystical speaking animals. But soon foreign invaders threaten Nala's kingdom and it's up to a 16-year-old girl to win a war, save her people and restore peace not only to Auria, but to all of Australia.
That was the synopsis of my story I posted. I really need a name for my story so please if anyone has suggestions, right now it's just called "Calli's story". I don't want to tell you too much, I hope the synopsis is enough! Please give me suggestions! This is a picture of where Auria would be today.

Hey, I figured out how keep it in paragraphs!

Sorry, that's probably really hard to read. I tried to keep it in paragraphs but it didn't work.

Okay this is my prolog to one of my stories, it doesn't have a name yet but I hope you can get a general idea of my writing. If you have any comments, things that can be fixed or if you like it, please comment. Also note that anyone who uses profanity of any kind will be flagged. Prolog The weight of a kingdom 7th day of the third month of the dry season. Oh dear diary, would you believe it if I wrote that right now I am sitting in a room the size of my hose! There is a fireplace, though it's not needed, and a bed that feel as if it has been stuffed with the feathers of every bird in Auria! My chambers are split into many rooms that I have yet to explore, but I'm sure the grandeur in my bedchamber is only the beginning. The palace Yarran has a much grander interior than I could have imagined from the outside. It's great orange-hued stones and tall spires seem to glimmer in the fading sunlight, a beautiful sight I am used to seeing. Now that I am inside, the palace seems more real, in time I may be able to call it home. I should explain the reason I am here in the first place, I will try and make my account as accurate as I can. This morning when father sent me into town I saw a commotion in the town square. I rushed toward the angry crowd; Cloren is not often prone to large riots, being the capital city of Auria. I was small enough that I could squeeze through to the front, where I saw a man being held by two guards and another, more official man was shouting. "You have not right to claim what you do!" "What's going on here?" I demanded of an old man next to me. "That fool there claims he's to marry the princess, con you imagine such a thing?" "Yes, why shant he marry her?" "Oh little one," he said shaking his head at me "that man has not a single drop of royal blood in his veins." While I had been talking more people had crowded around me, I pushed through again and watched the man, who was now fighting to throw off the guards. "I have not interest in being king!" he shouted, "I wish only to marry Sina!" "How dare you speak of her highness that way? How dare you insult the Princess Selisina ward if the late king Rithion, and heir to the throne of Auria." I know it sounds foolish for him to have yelled all her titles like that, but he did! "Take this man to the dungeons and prepare for his execution!" "No!" I don't know what made me do it, but I ran up to the center of the scene. "He has committed no crime!" "This order is one of state, not criminal, he is to hang,” said the man. "He has committed not crime!" I repeated. "The law states that every man is entitle to a fair trial and that a man must have crown authority to make an arrest, as well as moral grounds." I feel so foolish now, I had recited the law to the high chamberlain who knew the law much better than a 16-year-old girl who's only experience was to be taught diplomacy by a father who had only ever been a low-ranking council member. "I have made this decision for the good of this land and this people." He said, "This has nothing to do with the people" I retorted. "If I were to allow this scoundrel to marry the princess and become king, what sort of state do you think the kingdom would be in?" "I tell you, I don't want the crown!” shouted the captured man "Silence! You shall be hanged tomorrow at dawn." A woman was running down the steps of the palace toward the two men. "Release him!" She said almost frantically and yet commanding. The chamberlain made a stiff, curt bow "your highness I am dealing with the problem." he said smoothly "I know exactly what you are doing high chamberlain" there was contempt in her last two words. "Unhand him". The high chamberlain laughed "Might I remind you princess that your guardian, our late king named me you regent until your 18th birthday." "But the law states that any monarch may rule at the age of 16" said the princess. "Must the law be repeated to me by simpletons?" I think I must have been the only one who heard the chamberlain’s remark. "Your guardian made it clear in his will that you must have me as your regent until your 18th birthday." Said the chamberlain, addressing Selisina. "And since that day has not arrived I'm in command here!" The princess paled but went to stand next to the struggling man. "Then I shant be a princess!" " What?" I shouted, I didn't like the high chamberlain and handing him the kingdom, I could see, would bring trouble. "I renounce my claim to the crown!" she said to the crowd at large. "You highness, please, maybe you should think about this first, or at least find a suitable successor," I said desperately. Selisina looked at me for the first time "you are Nala are you not?" I was surprised she knew my name, but nodded "daughter of our retired council member, Halber?" I nodded again. "I remember you when you would study with my maid servants in the castle, I believe you learned quickly and well." It was true; I had devoted myself to my studies and consequently, been top in my class. But ever since my father's accident and subsequent retirement from the council a year ago, I had been removed from my classes, as it was no longer proper for a peasant to take studies with the lower ranking ladies-in-waiting. "Nala, you are bold and clever too, I think it would be fitting that you be made princess in my stead". I gasped and wobbled where I stood. "Do you except my proposal?" The princess words as well as my answer, still reverberate in my mind. "Yes" I said my voice shaking unhelpfully "I will". Maybe it was too quick of an answer, I don't know what made me say it. Maybe it was the way the high chamberlain was looking at me, like he knew I would say no, like I was weak. The first thing that happened to me was that I was redressed and bejeweled in the most ridiculous costume. I suppose it's all part of being a princess, and I must say that some of the gowns I now have in my wardrobe are quite becoming. Now I have six personal handmaidens, three ladies-in-waiting, as well as one personal lady-in-waiting, and about a hundred odd servants who's jobs could be from lighting the fires, to placing my slippers at the foot of my bed. It is all quite overwhelming, but I suppose I'll get used to it. Princess Selisina, now lady Selisina, kindly agreed to stay on here as my personal tutor. Once I am crowned princess, in two months, I plan on making her part of my court. I am not allowed the title of queen until my eighteenth birthday. With the title of queen comes more responsibilities as well as more authority. In the few hours since this morning, I've elevated from peasant to princess. I must keep telling myself this because I can hardly believe it. "Princess Nala" sounds completely wrong in my opinion. Right now it is night and I write from the light of three candles. I wonder what awaits me tomorrow? Probably many duties and lessons. I also plan on relieving the high Chamberlin of his duties, perhaps I will give the job to Alad, Selisina's betrothed, I wonder if he could do the job, after tutoring of course. I wonder many things now, the least of which is if I will be allowed to see my family ever again, or if they will continue living in our house without ever knowing what became of their youngest child and wondering who the new, young princess is? If my destiny is written in the stars, or the smoke of the druids' fire, I wish that they might all say that I will not make a fool of myself. Someday I might rise to be a good and wise queen, but for now, I am just a common maiden, with only a small understanding of the ways of politics, and the weight of an entire kingdom on my shoulders.
