The Interlude (1)
1215 Words
Jin Jing was a witch. A witch disguised as many things.
She was an Animagus. Meaning, she could take the form of any animal she felt like. She was also the eerily oldest witch alive. But her outward appearance betrayed such claim.
Jin Jing was only in her Mid thirties in present date and time but in reality, she was about a thousand years old. The crafts passed from generations to generations fell upon her able shoulders and so, she knew all the secrets of the unknown.
Today, she was a house fly perched on the wall of a certain Ballroom.
The party was in full swing, as teenagers were stupidly using their elemental powers.
From her position on the wall, she could see a vibrant red haired boy try to mould some glass cups into a sculpture. He succeeded in moulding it, the crowd cheered just for a brown haired boy to breathe fire on the sculpture and reduce it to nothing but ash.
The crowd went wild. Another guy, also brown haired channelled a little amount of red liquid unto a girl's white chiffon gown. The said girl stomps her feet and walks towards the bathrooms, the boy high fives his guys and follows the girl.
The young heir of the house had not yet come out, that was for sure. Else, the teenagers would not be behaving as ruthlessly as this.
Jin Jing scoffed as another guy drank a whole can of coke in one gulp and belched a bit loudly, releasing a huge burst of air towards a very pretty black haired girl, causing the said girl to be blown towards an unsuspecting nerdy guy.
The nerdy guy pushed up his oversized glasses and acted quickly. Creating an air resistance so the girl would stop moving in time to correct her stance.
The girl sent a glare to the earring boy and walked off to another part of the party with her friends
"This is so boring." Jin Jing thought as she buzzed away from the wall and started her descent.
"Li Jing!!" The vibrant red haired guy from earlier echoes dramatically as four stunning girls led by a bored butler, make their way through the entrance into the party.
Li Jing in question, seems uncomfortable but stunningly pretty. She looked around before her eyes land on the source of her name.
"Oh, it's the blasted last born of the Ye family." Jin Jing thinks to herself, while wading through the upbeat crowd. Determined to get a closer glance at Li jing and her companions.
Her plan however, backfires because just as she is about to fly infront of Li Jing, a girl standing behind Li Jing wearing pink frilly dress spots her and makes as if to slap her.
Jin Jing quickly soars out of the way but the girls had already spotted her. They start to wave at the air to try to kill her.
At this point, some people's attention has been drawn and one girl even removes her flat shoe to try to slap her with it.
In a flurry of panic, Jin Jing forgets that she is meant to glamour herself and quickly transforms into a pigeon, but she is mid transformation when she is caught in the face with the sole of a heavy brown boot.
The world seems to spin around her and she barely registers the Lu Chen himself walking towards her. She falls to the floor and transforms into a range of animals causing the students to scream and run amok.
From a rattle snake to a vulture to a rat to a pig to a lion to a cat and finally to a butterfly.
"Aha." Li Jing grins as she captures the butterfly Jin Jing in a glass cup. "Gotcha."
Just as Jin Jing fades to unconsciousness, she faintly hears Lu Chen yelling that the party is over.
The Lords of the realm (Intro)
Emperor Qing Zooms in on the location. And they see a group of teenagers sitting forlornly in a sort of living room. One of them, a guy seems to be pacing around the room.
"Surely, if I became an Emperor to look at a group of good for nothing teenagers sitting in a exquisitely furnished living room, I'd have been a housemaid or stalker." Emperor Han bursts out. "What is all this? Why are they looking so –..."
A finger from Emperor Zhou thrust infront of his face makes him shut up. Emperor makes a hand gesture that signifies that they should rewind the globe.
Emperor Qing complies. And the time from that moment goes backwards in a very quick motion. Flashes of random events of how the six teenagers grew from when they were born to when they discovered their powers till now and it comes to rest upon Ye Bao.
"Sit back Lords." Emperor Han grins and rubs his palms elated. "This is going to be one hell of a ride."
"Mum? Dad?" Young seven year old Ye Bao, his hair a vibrant shade of chestnut brown makes his way into a house that looked like it was pulled out of a magazine. The walls of the house were in monochrome shades of white and grey, painted to highlight the pale cream colours of the couches.
He is answered by silence. He curiously looks around at the living room as he drops his school bag on the floor and moves towards the spiral staircase at the center of the house. A white cat that was laying on the center rug in the living room simply glances up, seems to hiss and lays back down.
He seems to sense a bad omen as he runs up the stairs, as fast as his short legs can carry. He hears some whispers coming from the first room by his left as he is now upstairs.
Without stopping to think, he throws open the door and is met with a scene that would forever change his life.

Wang Xiu Ying and Wang Yuanji were happy as they played in the sun within their compound. Today was their fifth birthday.
Their father had promised that if they were good, he would take them to Country F's Disney world.
They had respected themselves almost throughout the year, saying their 'pleases and thank yous' when necessary.
Theirfather had recently gotten a promotion in his office and he had started keeping late nights.
The girls did not like the new post of office but the new post came with more dolls and fun trips abroad.
A yell and a crash from within the house made the girls pause and run towards the house.
Their father had recently started becoming aggressive as their mother constantly nagged him for keeping late nights and rejecting her foods.
"Oh no!" Wang Yuanji's heart was in her overalls pocket as she ran towards their parents room, which was where the noise was coming from.
Wang Xiu Ying was distracted by Frisbee, their German Shepherd and ran back down the stairs but Wang Yuanji was determined to figure out the source of the noise.
She opened the door to her parents room and the coppery scent of blood hit her nostrils before she saw the blood itself.
