Next!
Chapter Two


"Welcome, to the Vast Ballroom! This is where the Art choosing will begin! Allow me to introduce myself. I am the Elder of EarthCarving, and I will be choosing my students today!" Suki had found Aki in the ballroom, and after a quick hug (They are only 7 right now, so nothing more than that... Yet...) they sat down. "Psst, this is going to be boring for us. Wanna go somewhere else?" Suki said. "Jeez, two minutes in and your already trying to get me in trouble. I remember why I like you so much! If we don't become first class ShapeShifters, who knows what would happen!" Aki teased. The two of them, with some people they had just met while sneaking out, made it towards the exit. "Wow, that looked boring. Thanks for getting us out of there!" "Ya thanks!" "You guys are the greatest!" The crowd of people were now huddled around Suki and Aki. "Whats your names?" They asked. "This is Suki and Im Aki" Aki said with a certain amount of power in his voice. "Ya, and were going to get married someday!" Suki said. (Remember, they are 7, and they dont know what a hell marriage is yet ^^) "EWWWW" All the boys in the crowd said. "Awww," All the girls said. "Suki, not now! Were busting out of here right now, remember?" Aki muttered under his breath. "Besides, you have cooties!" Aki said. Suki looked over, a little offended at how he was acting in front of other people. So to get him back, she gave him a big hug. Aki blushed a little and whispered "Ok, you know I still love you right?" There was a very quick pause, then Suki answered "Yes." They were now outside with the rest of the group. Only those who had planned on becoming EarthCarvers had stayed. A man had followed them and he said, "You may leave if you want. However, i sense a Ancient among you, and how do you plan on it being you if you leave?" Instantly, all the children but Suki and Aki had left back into the Ballroom. And so it was like this for the first 5 days of the festival. "Finally! Wake up Suki!" Aki said. They had set up tents near each other, and they had relied on each other to wake up. One day, Suki woke up first, the next Aki. Today had been Aki's day, and it was the day of the Art of the ShapeShifters.
