[COLOR="DarkGreen"]The trees became full again, the grass was now green and the flowers were in bloom once more. The beginning of spring looked so good, an amazing picture for something so deceiving. The season was looking good, but the world wasn?t feeling good. Mortals can?t feel the earth?s pain or hear it?s words; however there are some who can. Well, only once in a few thousand years can they hear the planet. [/COLOR]

That time is know as the Blood Red Summer. During this time, the earth slows down the process of restoring itself. While doing this, the earth can save up energy for when it is really needed. However, the last time this happened a whole civilization was wiped out. Drought, famine and depression caused wars. Countries battled over land and sea, just to gain control over the economy.

The magic that bound humans together, was now used to pull them apart. Fire, water, earth and air was used to destroy each other. Darkness laughed at the world, and light found no sympathy for the humans. But the planet?s cries went unnoticed.

But even after such things were over, the country?s of the world still had troubles. The death?s of millions caused much despair. Empty voids where happiness once sat were stretched to their limits. Towns, cities, and villages fell, and even more death was dealt with. But those that could hear the planet?s suffering, wanted all this to end.

So a council was formed. A council that would bring an end to the torture, and rebuild the world. The Praise, a group dedicated to the earth, formed a union in every country. But how could they bring back the order of the world? By betraying the whole world, and using it?s magic against itself. They were dedicated to the earth, so dedicated that they sought to destroy all life, and leave no one to harm mother nature.

But the planet was fed up with it all. It decided to use it?s power to destroy and rebuild the earth. Almost in a instant the planet returned to the way it was before the Blood Red Summer. And so the planet would wait until he earth was advanced enough to deal with the changes. Light and Darkness agreed to let the earth slumber, and so humanity went on with life. Unaware of what would become of the earth? someday.

Underneath the ground, the worms wiggled and squirmed. In the forests the animals ran frantically. Yet, the city of New Rome was doing the same it had for the past fifty years. New Rome is a city located in New York State. The United State fell apart, and joined the Earth Alliance, a group of countries who decided to get past their differences to find piece. However, New Rome was also the capital of the American Side of the world.

There have been two sides for as long as New Rome has existed. The Americas and the Australian Side. Australia was a neutral country for some time. But after the war of 3027, they decided to take action. With the help of the Country Alliance. They were able to take control of the eastern world. All laws have changed, and the almost the whole world is now in a democracy.

However, this peace seems almost too fantastic. With every good, there is an evil. Many countries have decided to become either communist, or dictated. These country?s are known as the Confederate-Countries of the world, or CCW for short. Soon a war will arise between them and the allied country?s. this is however, not a good time, for the Blood red Summer, is approaching. And when earth awakens, it won?t be happy.[/COLOR]

Azmaria Azalea was going to college but had built up hatred inside of her. She is now 20 and has returned back to her home village. This is where she met the elder of the village. [COLOR="Magenta"]"Welcome back. Azmaria. It's been a long time since the last time you were here,"[/COLOR] the elder said bowing.
[COLOR="Magenta"]"It sure has. Things still haven't been the same since 'he' passed away,"[/COLOR] she replied.
[COLOR="Magenta"]"Yes. The village has missed you and your smiling face and 'him'. But today, there is a suprise waiting for you at my house."
"I can't wait! I'll have to go visit 'him' first though. It has been over ten years since I've last seen him."[/COLOR]
The elder nodded and they headed for his home. As they pulled up in front of the house there was someone standing on the porch. He was bandaged up and seemed to be smiling as Azmaria looked over to him.

As Azmaria got out of the car and got her stuff she asked the elder, [COLOR="Magenta"]"Who is that man over on your porch?"
"Oh, you don't recognize him? Well, I'd like you to meet-"[/COLOR] he was cut off when the man walked over to them.
[COLOR="Magenta"]"Hello Azmaria. It's been a long time now hasn't it?" [/COLOR]asked the man.
[COLOR="Magenta"]"Um, sorry for my rudeness but who are you?" [/COLOR]she asked.
[COLOR="Magenta"]"My, my. Well my name is Zephyranthes,"[/COLOR] he said.
A shocked expression appeared on her face as she dropped her bags and gave Zeph a hug. [COLOR="Magenta"]"I'm sorry. I should've known that it was you. But how are you still here. I thought that you were dead." [/COLOR]No tears fell from her face. Her tears were long dried up and not even this time were they to pour out.
~~~
[COLOR="Magenta"]"Oh, I see. So you found out that he was still alive and yet you kept this from me for so long eh elder?"[/COLOR] she said galring over at the elder.
[COLOR="Magenta"]"But this was your surprise. We found Zephyranthes still alive before the furneral. We thought that he was gone but he wasn't."
"Don't talk as if I'm not here. I'm still alive you know," [/COLOR]replied Zeph sarcastically.
[COLOR="Magenta"]"It doesn't matter just as long as you're still here then that's fine with me," [/COLOR]said Azmaria.

OOC:I hope that this is a good intro for my character. I did just as you said in the PM.

Sanagi Hana was sitting on the back porch outside of her shop looking at the calm raining sky. She was holding her pipe and drinking as she looked. She soon heard a noise come from the front door as the door opened and closed. [COLOR="Orange"] "I'm back!"[/COLOR] said a voice as the person walked through the shop and toward where Sanagi was.
[COLOR="orange"]"Well, welcome back. I do hope that you can make me something to eat, Zero?"[/COLOR] asked Sanagi in a calm tone of voice.
[COLOR="orange"]"It's always food with you! And why are you drinking and smoking at the same exact time?! It's bad for you and your health! Sheesh, I don't know what to do with you?"[/COLOR] exclaimed Zero as he walked away from her after putting his umbrella away and then into the kitchen to make something for Sanagi to eat.

Zero Hikari was the boy's name who accidentally stumbled upon Sanagi's shop in hopes of looking for a job. She granted his wish and now he works as a house slave for her and he lives with her since he has no family. They may be the same age but Sanagi doesn't go to school and is under aged for drinking.

[COLOR="orange"]"You're such a complaining young boy. I told you didn't I? That since you wanted a job I'll give you one and then you became my house slave. Be happy that I allowed you to stay here with me"[/COLOR] said Sanagi as she got up from where she was sitting and walked over to the kitchen.
[COLOR="orange"]"You're always so damn demanding! Why do you always make me do such ridiculous tasks?"[/COLOR] asked Zero as he turned around and stared at Sanagi as she entered the kitchen.
[COLOR="orange"]"This is just the way I am. You are such a silly boy. And tell me? Do you still like that girl you met?"[/COLOR] Sanagi gave him a smile.
[COLOR="orange"]"Yeah, I do! She's just so sweet and kind. Nothing can compare to her kindness!"[/COLOR] said Zero who was feeling all floaty.
[COLOR="orange"]"Yeah, anyway, there is someone that I have to meet with. She will be here in about 3, 2, 1."[/COLOR] As soon as Sanagi said 1, a huge thump was heard. Sanagi left the kitchen and walked to the front and opened the door. Zero was right behind her and her could see the person Sanagi was going to meet.
[COLOR="orange"]"Well, hello. It's nice that you could drop by,"[/COLOR] said Sanagi as she looked at the person they were talking to.
[COLOR="orange"]"Yeah, yeah. I just came because I needed to drop something off for you anyway,"[/COLOR] said the person.
[COLOR="orange"]"Umm, who is this girl?[/COLOR] asked Zero curiously.
[COLOR="Orange"]"Why this girl is an Ameonna. A rain spirit,"[/COLOR] said Sanagi.
[COLOR="orange"]"Whaat?! A rain spirit?"[/COLOR]
[COLOR="orange"]"Yeah, you heard her. That's what I am. I came here to drop something off. A payment that I owe to this witch for helping me out a while back,"[/COLOR] said the Ameonna in a bad tone of voice.
[COLOR="orange"]"Well, anyway, thank you for dropping it off. I hope that you will do well and make sure that "girl" doesn't get into anymore trouble."[/COLOR][COLOR="orange"]"Yeah, yeah. I know. I'll be seeing you now."[/COLOR]
The two watched her as she walked out the door, opened up her umbrella and then disappear into the rain. It was truly a magnificent sight to see.
[COLOR="orange"]"Now that that's over, let's go and have something to eat now shall we Zero?"[/COLOR] Sanagi said wickedly.
[COLOR="orange"]"Dammit! And I thought that you would've forgotten."[/COLOR] Zero walked back over to the kitchen and started cooking again. This was just one of the occurances that happened at this shop but there were sure more to come in the future for both of the two.

Here's my post! Hope you like it. I combined both of them together so it wouldn't take up too much of someone's time to read through it all but it does meet the requirements!
