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!

The snursie was a deep bolod red in the sky and it cast it's gowlnig rays arcoss the prulpe and bule sea.

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!
