### Chapter 1 - Part 3: Tidings Edit: Added stuff for Eden, read next post first. As Alto walked, he heard some heated discussion. Mostly from Nuul, mainly from Nuul. He wasn't entirely sure what Nuul was saying though, because he was muttering all dark-like to himself. The other heated discussion he was hearing came from a small group just around the corner which Alto was peeking at. Two of them looked to be extremely hot-headed, and if Alto didn't know any better he would've assumed they were siblings perhaps. The third guy however... As Alto looked at the third guy more, he couldn't shake the feeling. The third guy didn't really look like it, and he didn't seem to act like it either. But to Alto at least, that third guy seemes to have an aura of 'pretentious'. He didn't look pretentious or sound pretentious at all, but Alto couldn't feel anything else from the guy. There was also another girl there, who seemed to be _majorly_ hot-headed. She seemed to speak very quickly, and he wasn't entirely sure what she was doing there. Then again, he wasn't sure what any of them were doing there, or why he was there either. Suddenly, he caught movement at the edge of his vision. Turning quickly, he saw... No one. But then he looked back and suddenly there was some random kid approaching the group? The kid was very young, and well dressed as far as he could tell. She looked to be wearing the school uniform of a private school. It was fairly expensive looking, and it looked to be immaculate. Both of her socks were at a perfectly equal height, her shoelaces were perfectly proportioned and tied, and the back of her blazer looked to be completely smooth and devoid of all wrinkles. As he watched, the girl walked into the middle of the four and turned to address the non-pretentious guy. **"I have a warning for you, child of light."** She said. It sounded like she was in some sort of trance, as if she wasn't really there. As she spoke, he felt her words were already in his mind somehow and he'd only now remembered them, as if someone was shining a torch into his head. _**"Keep your angels near, and enemies far, unless you can outshine them all by far. For the Darkness creeps, while your angel sleeps, and the ether will come billowing after."**_ Then, the girl turned to address the first female member of the four. **"Another for you, child of fire:"** She started, Her voice had changed suddenly, and somehow grew intense as if someone had lit a raging fire and npw he couldn't ignore it. _**"You have less enemies than you may know, but all will one day, colours show. Take comfort in this at least, you are not the one who knows the least."**_ After she finished her second cryptic statement, she turned to the third of the four. **"A warning for you, child of water."** She said, her words flowed like water in his mind. _**"If you have patience, then you need not seek, the secrets none were meant to keep. Above all, remember this: your destiny, you cannot miss."**_ Finally, she turned to the last of the four. **"The last for you, child of earth."** She said finally. _**"Legend or not, it matters little, continue as you are and you will be the most brittle. Victory comes at a price most steep, but would you prefer the inevitable sleep?"**_ Her warnings stuck in his mind now, refusing to move. Solid like the earth. With that, the girl turned on her heels and walked away from the four as she disappeared into the surrounding crowds. As Alto turned away from the four, he suddenly heard the girl's voice, barely a whisper in his ear. **"There is no warning for you, child of dark.**" She said, **"Take also the other warnings to heart."** He whipped around, trying to catch a glimpse of her again, but there was no one there.
