Portals & Paths: The Nine Gems
Chapter 1: STORM The rain fell hard, in drops as large as mango nuts, pelting the deeply soaked woolen robes of five men as they moved with the storm. The hooded figures slithered through the sprouting shoots of rice as quickly as the tempest blew through the ancient wood, their bare feet barely sinking in the paddy’s soft mud. The man in lead turned his head to see the others following diligently in tow. A prominent nose caught dancing light from a disappearing moon as the dying rays ricocheted through thousands of crystal beads of water. The leader flicked a twisted finger toward the sky. There was a brief calm in the clamor as the group pressed on through the wet, swollen rice fields edging the wood.

Chapter 3: What the hell? (Where the fuck am I?) Part II Changes The first thing Mia noticed were the two sleek, black, triangular ears with white tips, on the top of her head. Two small hoop earrings, one red and the other blue, set pierced in the right ear near the tip, the ears that had resided on the side of her face were gone. Her once shoulder-length dark brown hair, was now jet black, flowing down to her waist, a silver streak running through the length of her hair, silver highlighted bangs dangling just above her long eyelashes.
