The Academy: Thought the rocks became a paradise;

Said they wanted change
I hope that
You remain the same
To show that
This is not a game
Lets end this tragedy today.

There was a search for a fortress oh so long ago. I can remember it my children, I was not there, they were. It is easy to make a conversation within it; it can hear your thoughts because it’s pure. But this is but another story, I shall tell, but can you truly imagine how it feels? Let us go back in time, from when the idea of our purity chamber became built. Now, now, this is no bed time story for this is true. It has been confiscated through each tide, each passing year until it would be revealed. You are old enough to know now, why our meeting place became what it became. Are you ready? Tucked up neat behind your mother’s tail? Good because this, is no fairy tale.

Each surface has hidden its true power. The lands of this perpetual place would soon become a land of beauty and only to show, how we could become their successors. The dripping sorrow of a lake had been dwelling fro a decade alone. The trees were captivated by the sorrow and therefore watched as its water made their way over the surface and crushed the ground. It slid down the drain of the mountain. Wanting to create and show the true matter of the sea. This intrigued the earth as it felt the water forming its precious mountain. As to show how powerful it was the earth shivered the mountain, made it to be soft before hardening, slowly showing a form, but of what? Oh, it is yet to become the truth of us, the beings who will reside here as our precious monument.

The battle of power went over for a hundred years until the earth and water soothed down. They hungered for a place each but soon, too would get calmed down and shown the true power of each element as they would create one combination. A temple. The fire within another heart felt the persuasion of water and earth; it quivered at the thought of liquid and made an alliance within the lighting. Within this combo went a powerful tirade as the four elements fought, the mountain they claimed themselves as kings and queens was shown and formed until it raged with beauty. The way it shivered with rage of the fire, had the beauty of water, the strength of earth and the hollows of lighting it was but still one thing missing. The air. So where had air gone to? Oh, the playful nature danced through the forest, slipped through the willow trees until it saw the large building. It felt the power of fire and quivered and soon enough the four elements entered.

Their presence overruled any expectation as they managed their pride of each creation, but this? Oh, they had no wisdom of what they had made. But our little air knew, she slipped inside, giggling and dancing until faulting and looked back at them. They were like little children as they went inside as well, watching it. Inside the elements had made themselves an occupation without knowing it. The temple also had one more thing, the element air had been revealed to be there as well. The unity of each element had made a place of peace for them-selves. This soothes the power hunger within each of their heart; they slipped out, only to see how the environment had been ruined. Shame shattered through their emotions but they had no reason to be angered at anyone else then themselves. But once again, there was a solution. The air wanted this land to be gathered as a peace, a monument and to show how each element could help each other.

The first step was to burn the whole land. The fire kept a fair share with the light, animals was still unnoticed at this matter; they shattered the lands to make them grow their foliage with a renewed shine. Step two, the water soothed the fire with a combo of air, they sent the rain flowing, drowning each flame to be left and looked over a barren land of nothing but smoke and darkness. The last step was to once again grow. The earth released his power, making the grounds be rebuilt with foliage and trees, moving the soft soil into several hollows so water could fill in. The water helped with watering the soil, moving into a waterfall and soon enough the lands had been rebuild once more. Pleased with their work they vanished, seeking peace within the temple, listening as animals once again settled in, in these lands. But there was one particular creature that would become a superior and listener.

She stepped down the grounds. A sigh escaped her rather torn lips, she was thirsty, hungry but most of all, she was lost. The mare glided down the forest, the branches tucked at her mane but she brushed them off again. The elements watched her from above, underneath and through the sides, curious of the creature that stepped down the forest of their peaceful land. Her eyes wandered throughout the forest, they’re blue color swept through the opening of the forest, oh she was lost alright, but her attitude spoke for her, she was a snake. Just as they thought about it something slithered down the mare’s neck. The dark skin with light shade underneath showed a dark and venomous animal as it slithered around the equine’s neck, they watched the pair in excitement, and would it bite her? As their excitement ran through each spot of the mare she faulted her move. The snake looked around as well, and soon to be heard was nothing more then the soft voice of the mare, she was curious now, so was her little friend as she could clearly feel them in the area.

Are you going to play hide and seek? Show yourself my dears, none of us will bite, unless you want to. Eyes wandered to her neck but soon it faded, the elements appeared in front of her, each in different shape concealing themselves as they shows nothing but their true hide. She smiles, watching them from afar but hears their whisper, it is but the air dancing, the fire twirling, the lighting caressing, water however kept a hesitation as well as earth as they watched her. She could feel them, met with their forms until she listened to their whisper into her mind repeating her name over and over. Althea, Althea, Althea…Why ought you to come hither? There is nothing but our holy grounds. Tell us and we ought to show you. She knew little of what she meant but would not hide the fact that she was utterly curious of this matter. However, a twirl made her hesitate before launching out her sharp tongue. I came here because of curiosity, wondering how a land as beautiful as this is kept a secret. This dim light shows peace, a place to think and most of all make a chance to conversant as well as learn and teach. Tell me, elements, why will you not give it to the equine class? Those with peace in their mind? They could fresh up this lovely place. She does not hide the fact that she wants to reside her. The beauty of each land is but a surface but she feels the peace, the quiet and the space. Her eyes searches as the elements are thinking through her words, closing the range between each other until they vanish. But still, air is lacking behind, she is kept hidden but soon enough whispers within the breeze, rewarding Althea with the passion as she watches the temple become a ruin.

It is but better to keep the temple in this form. Let the peace minded creatures come, but little child let me warn you, they are not allowed to battle here, this place has had enough. Althea watches as the trees soon regard to themselves, her mind feels blank for a minute, as she seems to have been gone until she sees the ruins. The light shades upon it, a gentle one however and peace once again settles in the land. Other equine mares and stallions soon enter; they’ve seen a light shatter towards this place. They’re eyes wander over the ruins and the space, soon enough power of a wind storm through many, fire flames up, water splashes, lighting crashes and earth grows. The elements have rewarded the equine. They trust in them now, but there will become a war if the deal gets broken. The land of The Academy is only for peace, learning and teaching. The monument? Oh, but it is the temple of course, it shows that the elements once existed. Oh, you will never understand it truly children, you need to be there to feel the power, o believe me, I know. I was there.

I am after all, Althea. Right?

OOC: Uber much muse for it xD I really loved the idea ^_^ *crosses fingers*
