Introduction
The biggest forest between the two nations is enchanted, you can walk for five minutes and end up fifty miles away. The stream running through it is poisoned with Deadwater: black water that can kill any living thing that touches it. The poison is what keeps commoners away from the war. Most of the Earth at this time is polluted, so water in a stream could be any color in the world. The commoners, not knowing any better, attempt to wade across it, and die. Escaped commoners living in the forest are trying to clear the stream of harm.
The Hex have technology to give people certain visions that someone they love is in mortal danger. The people receiving them run over to help them and end up right where the Hex want them. The visions can be fought against, with special training.
The Hexes have an overpopulation problem, and they don't have enough food for everyone. Only kids of rich Hexes can go to school, where they learn about how the technology is made and works. Poorer Hexes are not taught how to make the technology, for fear that they will use it for a rebellion. Most of the Hexes fear their leader, Hexadecimal. Every molecule of her data is stored in every computer in the Hex nation. If Hexadecimal is killed and even one computer is left un-destroyed, it will be able to re-create her. She has a chip implanted near her heart, which will notify all the computers if she dies.
The Mages have very different life. Every single kid MUST go to school. About 1 out of twenty kids is an elemental and has to go to the training academy. It is a social norm to fight in the war, that is, if you are normal. You can get out of it, with a few dirty looks. But unless you escape, if you are elemental, YOU ARE GOING TO FIGHT. There is no way around it. You are forced to. Every parent in the Mage nation is expected to teach them a simple spell. They are expected to have learned it by age five. If they cannot do it, they are put in special school for a year. If they still can't do it they are deemed an elemental.
So who will you be? A lowly commoner looking for a better life? A fugitive trying to stay alive? Or a power hungry leader? The choice is yours.
The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 6 authors
This place is so new to me, everything is just a shock that im here at the elemental school. Then i got a letter saying:
Dear Matthew Davis
It seems that you will need special training to excel in the elemental school. You will be trained by Whitebane and he will teach you to be a better mage. We are counting on you to fight in the war against the hex!
I am shocked to receive this horrible letter saying I Matthew Davis has to go to a special training camp. I cant believe this. I am taken to a forest. There are 3 girls and 1 guy. One of them has long, red hair and the same blue eyes that I do. I introduce myself.
"My name is Matthew, what is yours?" I say and I wink.
"My name is Samantha," I say.
I explain the situation and he seems relieved that we can't use our powers. He explains that he isn't good at using his powers. He often compliments me randomly and flirts with me. I try to ignore him. I run my fingers through my hair and I am getting a little shy. Hades makes a weird and almost angry face at Matthew.
"Maybe we should start eating!" I say randomly.
i quicly made it smaller, and oddly enough, the places where the fire just was seemed completely unharmed. i saw the other 3 come running down without hades. samantha seems about to kill me.
"oops..."
"Matthew, I need you to make me have a powerful emotion, any emotion!" I say

"Hades, you are a hex. Don't let that discourage you. You can never go back, just accept the mage in you." I say quietly.
"Does Hades like Samantha" He asks, and even though I know the answer, I don't won't to say. Matthew keeps pushing though, so I finally say "Yeah, I think he does. Also, if you like Samantha, you might not want to be so obnoxious about it." I stomp away, wondering what has gotten into me around Matthew.
i refuse to spend one more second around her. im going to the other side of the mountain and STAYING THERE. what kind of goddess does she think she is, dropping me almost out the side of the earth? and both Hades and Matthew are falling for her. URGH. it was a frigging DEAD TREE!!! i didnt even hurt it! did she think to check it? OF COURSE NOT!!! how would she like to be dropped into a hole that makes it feel like you are both blind and deaf? oh, she wouldnt care, that stuck up prat of an earth elemental. i hope they all get eaten by cannibals. except maybe posidonia. shes okayish. why did i even accept this spot in the stupid "elite squad". why are we fighting this war? i think she sprained my ankle, and shes the only one with healing powers. i think i know how to splint it, but i'm not sure. hang on, what if i do something worse to her? like see whether or not other elementals are flammable? oh, but hades and matthew will both stick up for her, stupid snob that she is. i wish that i could just get out of this blasted force field. even the normal academy is better than this. compared to this, id rather be in detention for the rest of my life! how did we even get picked for this? its all idiots who cant control their magic! AND theres a random hex floating around. i still have their necklace, whoever they are. good luck to anything that I happen to...

"hades? i think that samantha sprained my ankle. i totally wish that i didnt have to do this, but could you ask her to give me a painkiller? i refuse to talk to her, but i promise not to hurt her. for now. but the second she uses anything on me that would injure me or anyone else, i swear that i will set fire to her." i hope he didnt notice that unless i want it to, it doesnt hurt. that would kind of make my threat not work so well. he just gives me a funny look and agrees. i hope this works. i dont think i'll be able to walk for much longer without hopping, and that would be freaking embarrasing.
I still cannot believe Samantha hurt Adena. The two boys are still padding on after her. I listen to the wind and hear Adena talking to Hades. He denies liking Samantha. Come on! It's sooooo obvious he's in love with her! Then I hear Hades telling Adena he's a Hex and needs a necklace she has back. Adena is now begging Hades to get her a painkiller. I think I might get one for her myself. I march straight up to Samantha and say, "Since you have such a 'special' connection with the Earth, you've probably forgotten what it means to be human! Give me a painkiller I can take to Adena because you've freaking sprained her ankle! You know, of you need such a 'powerful' emotion as a boy kissing you to make you do what's right, why don't you just crawl into a cave with that cat and stay there, humming little healing songs. Hurt the Earth. Bah! You did something much worse. Animals die in the course of life, and I feel bad about damaging the creature, but to be outright mean to your teamate! Your more loyal to dirt than to friends." Samantha looks shocked and a little hurt by my words, and I want her to be. Then she says, "It was on accident. Besides, she was hurting a tree...." she trailed of looking at my venemous look.
"Well, she didn't hurt the tree! You know that just as well as I. The wind told me the tree was fine. It felt a rush of warmth, making it think that it was being hurt, when really it wasn't! If you hadn't been dropping people into holes, you might've noticed that the tree didn't have a single mark on it. Just give me the pain killer and leave Adena alone. She is twice the elemental you are because she is nice, strong, and doesn't need annoying little spells to make her life complete. If your mother knew..." I trailed of because Samantha was looking hopefully at me. She says "My mother? How is she?" I swallow, wondering what mess I've gotten myself into. Ms.Elizabeth is sick, so what can I say to Samantha?
I run up the hill, and I see Pos. already confronting Sam. It feels kind of good, because before all the others came along and it was just me and Sam., it was so embarassing that she could do magic while I really couldn't. I remember Sam's words, though..."Hades you can never go back just accept the mage in you" "I seem to be having a little trouble doing that, don't I?" I mutter. This infighting thing is really destroying the whole point of this. Matthew likes Samantha, Posidonia and Adena hate Samantha and possibly each other, Posidonia thinks I have a crush on Samantha, and probably it's just about now a cannibal would show up and devour us all. I take the painkiller and go back to Adena. ARGGGG! I yell. "What?" Adena says. "It's just so...COMPLICATED!! Why can't we go home already?!" She looks me in the eye. "I wish I knew" is all she says. I lower my voice to a whisper. "I have a plan to sabatouge their chances."
"I can't, I used all of the painkiller," I say quietly.
"What?!" Posidonia says.
I show Posidonia a huge gash on my leg.
"How did you get that?"
"I have no idea,"
Posidonia continues a speech.
"If your mother knew..." Posidonia says, that is the only part that i heard.
"My mother would understand completely, you need to get your facts straight before you are rude to somebody. I have a disorder, but that is none of your business,"
"Hahaha, I bet this will make Samantha cry, I can't wait to see this! Maybe she'll bleed to death after that!"
I know it's Posidonia, who else? Let's see who wants me dead and can control clouds? I don't care how much water lands on me, I am not doing anything. I'm just waiting for death, there are lots of choices. Starvation, drowning in rainwater, being killed by Hades, Posidonia, or Adena, and being killed by some creature out here in the woods. Ughh, this disorder is the reason that I am suicidal. I wish I could just make it stop. The only way to make it stop is death. I can't stop thinking about death. I start crying, I bet Posidonia is laughing and is going to tell Adena so that she can watch. I look at my gash, the pain makes me look for some more herbs.
I am about to answer Adena. "Sorry.....I guess I'm carried away." I would say more, but I hear a noise and go investigate. Samantha is crying in a pool of rainwater raining only on her. Matthew would never hurt anyone like that. I imagine Posidonia, smug and pleased, sitting on some cloud causing all this. Gosh!! I wonder where Matthew is. He's the only one who isn't totally hate-able out of us. Samantha threw Adena in a hole for no reason, Posidonia rains on Samantha and Flies around knowing more about people than they know themselves, and Adena has a temper to control. If I can convince Matthew not to like that awful know-it-all, we could be friends. He's the only one I'd trust. I find him alone in the woods. "Hello," I say. I explain how everyone else will just hurt us in the infighting, and it would be best if we teamed up and stayed out of harms way. He says that makes sense.
