We are almost to 12 Crystal Springs, Arctica

And in my freetime I decide to post the emails I get from Aura's gang.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~White is luna, red is aura. diego is orange. blue is me.

Aura:
You can get there through the Maze of Ashes, the entrance to which is in the north east quarter of Garner. The maze starts in a massive, circular room, with ten passageways leading of from it. One of the passages has this inscription over the top of it:
Peace can bring War,Justice can bring Crime,Love can bring Hatred,And Truth can bring Lies.As Good can come of Evil, Darkness can be born of Light.But while each can succeed the other, they can never be one.Truth cannot be Crime,Peace cannot be Lies,Justice cannot be War,As Love can never be truly Evil.
Which is, you know, weird, but under that it has seven jewels, one ruby and six diamonds. Much easier to remember.
But there is another way. Follow the Luminacht, a river that flows into the lake from outside.I think if its no dice in Arctica, we at least will take that way. You can tell the Luminacht from other rivers because the water looks black, but if you hold some in your hand it's clear.
We'll see you in Arctica then (hopefully). I hope Chrissie finds Renee.
Me too. So I can have a word with her. "Kid with too much responsibility on her shoulders" ? I AM NOT! I am moody in my own right, thank you very much. So NYEH!

AURA! Renee could be captured by some evil person and be being tortured right now! Why are you being so MEAN?

I have a migraine. Tynan and Mark have disappeared off the face of the planet for the last few days, in case you hadn't noticed. Or are you to busy making out with my brother to notice?

AURA!!!!! SHUT UP!!!!!!!!

Make me. LUNA AND APOLLO, SITTING IN A TREE, K-I-S-S-I-N-G

I SAID SHUT UP!!!! Of course I care about Mark and Tynan, it doesn't mean you have to be mean to Re
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight Luna. Its got nothing to do with ARGH STOP PULLING MY HAIR!!!!!!!! Alright, I'm sending it.
what?

Star, just ignore what Aura says, she's being immature.

That's an interesting poem....hmmm. Well look for the river. Luna and Apollo? lol...

STAR!!!!!!!! IT'S NOT FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!

Look who's being immature now }:-) Anyway, we're in Arctica now (Arctica, must remember how to spell that.) We got here as soon as Tynan and Mark got back. How far are you guys from the Twelve Crystal Spring? It is way to cold here, I can actually feel it. Mark put a snowball down the back of Lori's shirt and now she's trying to kill him :P They're funny to watch. Anyway, if she (Renee) is not there then we'll head straight to Pyrite. The Luminacht is pretty big, you can't miss it.
Aura

Lori trying to kill Mark, on the other hand, is very funny. See you,
Luna

What's not funny? Everything is funny from some perspective. Anyway. We have no clue how far we are. You actually thought we had a map? No. We're going by Chissie's senses. She know it when we get there. I believe we are close. I've been have a funny time with using the snow. I light-purified the snow into pure water a couple times. Just to refill my water bottle. More than a couple times actually....like 12.

She means her "relationship" with Apollo, which is romantic *shudders* to her but hilarious to everyone else. No, I didn't think you had a map. We sure don't :P

Are they even close in age? lol....age doesn't matter when it comes to love......or does it?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't worry, Luna's okay. Just very annoyed at Aura. This is me and Aura's shared address, by the way. You were wondering why I called myself Drake, instead of Diego? Well, its our last name. But technically, I was called Drake at birth but the orphanage renamed me and used my name for our last name. On that note, our "earth names" are:
Lucinda Eleanor Drake
Andrea Samantha Drake
Aurelie Drake
Marcus Diego Drake
Arthur A. Drake (A. standing for Apollo, which is legally his middle name. He didn't use it much, before we found out. Who would?)
Amber Drake
So there you go. Be warned, if you call Aura Aurelie she'll practically burn your wings off (I know from experience. Don't try it), and Samantha never went down well with Andrea either, but seeing as she has memory loss now, I don't think she'd know you were addressing her (relief teachers used to call her Samantha, or Andrea Samantha, by accident. Six relief teachers refused to work at our school while she was there after their experiences) so you'd probably escape unscathed. No guarantees though :P
Bye,
Diego

Interesting. And Andrea never mentioned the Smantha part. Either because she hates it, or forgot it. The Drake part she never mentioned either. So what's luna's full name or earth name or whatever? And the other ones that are with you, like the non-pyrite/fire powered ones. Whoever else. I forgot who's with you guy or was with you. I here you're missing a few people. Some one named Mark? And Tynan who is like related to Tempest or something? That was in our cbox. Do you guys still have a blog? A new one, or old one. One that you still update?Well happy Easter anyway. (even if it's not much of a holiday here) Happy spring??? lol. Snow is everywhere still. That's Arctica for you. In Crystaralight it was spring a mounth ago.~*Star*

Luna says her name was Luna Selene, because the people at the orphanage she ended up at only knew her first name and Selene is the greek goddess of the moon, so they gave her that for her last name. She got adopted by agents of evil when she was seven, or something, then escaped with us. Lori is Lorelei Harrison-Davies, the last name being of the normal earth people she was originally adopted by. Tempest, Taima, Tynan, Mark, and Elli never lived on earth, like, temporary permanently, so, hence, no earth names.Here's a list of us:

Aura
Diego
Apollo
Amber
Lucy
Luna
Lori
Mark
Tynan
Taima
Tempest

No, we don't still have a blog. To busy to make a new one and to keep it going. Also, some can be tracked.Happy Easter to you guys too (a bit late I'm afraid, but I'll say it anyway). How's Andrea? I haven't seen her in a long, long, long, long, long, long time. And now she's evil. Amazing how people change, though Aura reckons she was always evil (she's joking. Mostly)
Well, see you,

Nice...Andrea? She's coming along! Starting to get better....I bet in a month she won't be evil anymore. Give her 2 months. lol. Not sure.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After reading the Aura and Luna part, I cracked up cause it was crazy. Whatever.

(posting whatever she thinks she should)

MR4 and 12 Crystal Springs vs. Night Lake, Pyrite

So me and Arella used my teleportation crystal that I found a while back to go back to a Target store (on Earth) for a very short period of time. Maximum Ride: The Final Warning, by James Patterson (MR4) only costed $14 plus tax. Can't wait to read it. But we're kinda busy right now. We went to the last Target we visited, and no one recognized us at all, of course. We stocked up on some snacks. It was a Super Target actually. They had samples! We ate them, mostly. I was so happy to have Earth Food again.
Twelve Crystal Springs vs. Night Lake in Pyrite
What do you think? The both sound oddly familiar. Aura knows about Night Lake. Chrissie thinks that Renee will meet us in 12 Crystal Springs, in Arctica. We just have to find it. If we have no luck there, then Night Lake on Pyrite, I guess. We'll see.

Renee's Email? Luna and Aura emailed this...

Luna sent me this:



Did you get that weird email from Renee? It ended up in my spam folder, so I checked and there it was. We are checking out what it says to do. Maybe Twelve Crystal spring was some kind of code....

Night....
Lake.....
Pyrite.
Night Lake, Pyrite!

Aura says that's some seriously dangerous place on Pyrite/Garner, where there's a crater that fills up with navy blue, near black water, and where an Artican princess was killed by a Pyritian/Garnian commoner (a girl) because, ages ago, the two moons were trying to make amends by betrothing the Pyritian/Garnian prince to said Artican princess, except the Pyritian/Garnian prince already had a girlfriend, said Pyritian/Garnian commoner girl, and she lost her temper because he had to go with the princess or risk causing a war, so she lured her down there and stabbed her with a diamond edged knife. So the princess fell into the lake, and its waters turned that near black blue, and seven ice blue diamond pillars grew forth from the lake, but you can only seen the tips of them from the surface. So, to prevent a war, the Pyritian girl had to be executed, and the prince went mad with grief and chucked himself into the lake, and one of the pillars pierced his body through the heart, and had been pure, blood red ever since.
Aura is now talking about how the blood of the girl was drained from her executed body (I'm sorry, but gross), but I'm not listening. It's too sad. I mean, it wouldn't be that bad, except this actually happened. Why Renee would want to meet there is beyond me. I mean, it's where one of her ancestors died. Not generally on one's top ten list of meeting places.

Aura here. I think that /\ is the point. No one would think to look there. I've been there once before. It's not an evil place, just quiet, peaceful maybe. And sad. What I was talking about with the blood of the girl is that someone, no-one knows who, drained her blood out of her body, and turned it into this crystal charm that is said to be true love in solid form. But it was lost, forever. Which is way depressing (and kind of gross, with the blood thing.). True love, lost forever. Of course, no one knows if the charm ever existed (the stories part of the history books though. It's real all right), like no-one knows if true love ever existed. Isn't that a depressing thought? But did Renee want you to go there? Or did someone else? Nevertheless, I think we should keep this in emails. If Renee wanted us to go to this place, she'd probably want us to keep it quiet.

I don't like that story. I wish Aura hadn't told it to us. It creeped me out. Anyway, What are you guys gonna do? Go to Artica, or Pyrite? Either way, its dodgy.

Luna



Here's Renee's email. It was in the spam folder:

Search on Wikipedia:

Twelve (number) look at: William Shakespeare (Theatre; comedy)

Spring (hydrosphere) Look at: See also (last dot point)

Crystal Look at: "Quartz" or "Rock crystal" and the link right after it.

One of you will figure it out. But act fast. Or you are all doomed.

Renee



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CRUD!!!! I don't get it!!!! That was too confusing! It wasn't clear. Wikipedia is a terrible source my teachers used to say. I don't know how you all figuered that out....but the part with lake was easy. I didn't relized you guys figuered it out....I thought it was a like to a secret site or something, not a message to were she's located! Lol. I feel dumb.
