(Note: Though I am unable to compare just how close it is, this was inspired by another online RPG-like thing I was in for a short time and that has since been deleted. I do not claim the title, because it is what the creator of the other used. So, should the creator of that see this, don't sue me!)
There is a legend, old as anyone can remember, though many have forgotten it. It is a tale of great warriors, great deeds, and great magic.
It is told that in a time when Evil spread across the land, long ago, the gods themselves came together. Because of a vow they had made though, they themselves could not destroy the Evil. Instead, they took certain precious stones from the earth and enchanted them with elemental magicks and animal spirits, and gave them to men and women of strength and character. Those who weilded the stones became known as the Crystal Guardians.
Together, the Crystal Guardians faught the Evil and when a year had passed, the Evil fell. Before the death of the one who led the Evil though, he was able to cast a spell, and the stones were scattered throughout the land. To this day, the gems have not been found.
And the Evil is returning.
(No ownership of a crystal before your first post! Anytime afterward is fine. And please, human characters ONLY!)

Laluli saw from the hilltop a small town, maybe only a village, near a high cliff overlooking the sea. Glancing up briefly, she hurried toward it, not wanting to be caught as she was in the coming storm. She had no problem wiht the storm itself; she didn't want all of her belongings to be soaked.
She reached the outskirts just as the rain began, but quickly found a place to stay, though it was a tavern. With an agreement to help out so long as she stayed, she put her things in an empty spot in the back and went back out to watch the storm. Eventually she found herself dancing in the rain, unable to hold back her joy in it.

*Against the front wall of the town's tavern, Ciara stood quietly, listening to the rain beat down upon the earth. She was hardly aware of anything else, her head lowered and eyes closed as she was deep in thought. However, it wasn't long before one constant sound caught her attention: unceasing footsteps on the wet ground. She lifted her head to see a girl dancing in the pouring rain. Ciara watched her for a moment, a smile nearly coming to her lips... nearly. She found the girl's innocence rather amusing and almost longed to be out there with her, although she knew that she would never be caught dancing in the rain... She wasn't a child anymore. Still, the music of the rain was something worth listening to and letting those that still had their innocence enjoy... Hesitating a moment, she reluctantly pulled her wooden flute from her bag, lifting it to her lips. She didn't normally play in public, but perhaps she could make an exception today. She had nothing better to be doing. She began playing although she stayed soft enough to allow herself to hear the rain fall...*

Laluli heard soft music begin and looked toward the direction it came from, though it took her a moment - spinning had made her a little dizzy. She saw someone standing under the roof of the tavern she was staying in, playing a flute.
Wordlessly she smiled, then continued dancing, matching the music.

*Ciara looked once again at the girl and saw that, not only had she noticed her as well, but she was now dancing in time with her music. Suddenly, Ciara picked up the pace, wondering if the girl would dance faster and just how long before she would tire.*

Laluli heard the pace of the music pick up and not even thinking about it, her body did the same. She threw back her head and spun rapidly, rain falling on her face, until she became so dizzy she fell down and laughed.

Jade turned the corner of the building and leaned against it noticing the girl dancing and the other playing music. She laughed a bit and walked over to the girl that fell down laughing." Here," she said sticking out her hand" Do you need help getting up?" She said this with a smile on her faceshowing that she ment no harm.

Laluli looked up as another girl spoke, smiling and still a bit giddy.
"Sure," she said, taking the other's hand. Once up she thanked her, then ran over to the one standing under the roof and thanked her as well.

*Ciara stopped playing when the girl fell, the corner of her lips turning upward slightly. She watched in silence as the girl was met by another. Seeing her cue to leave, Ciara was about to slip through the door, not wanting to be met by another uncomfortable social situation. She had never been much good at getting along with people. However, much to her surprise, the dancing girl approached her and even thanked her. Under the shadow of her dark hood, Ciara's cloudy eyes widened slightly, but she managed to recover and nod her head. Then, to add to the shock, the other girl approached as well, introducing herself. Ciara hesitated, waiting for the other girl to introduce herself before she said anything.*

"Laluli," she said. "I haven't been here before, I don't think. I travel a lot."

*Ciara glanced at the two girls, reluctant to speak her own name. Still, she didn't want to be rude. Her voice was soft and rather monotone as she spoke.* "My name is Ciara... I've only been here a few days."

"Not at all!" Laluli said. "I understand why you would want to leave. I'd hate to be tied down to any one place, even with new people coming and going."
