The chaos that ensued after the finding of the bloody mass in the entryway caused everyone to be constantly on edge. Not wanting to be It's next victim. The eight Elementals were constantly traveling in pairs, however no any warnings the others gave Ruby refused to acknowledge them often wandering off on her self as if inviting It to take her as well. One morning Rubel noticed that Opal was getting ready to go somewhere however instead of asking to go she watched and followed Opal until they came to a clearing Rubel recognized it as the clearing she had followed Opal to on their way to the cave Rubel was so busy looking around she didn't notice what was going on in the center of the but once she refocused on Opal she had to stuff her hand in her mouth to keep from crying out at the center was Opal who was approaching Ruby who kneeled before a mound of dirt with a stone sticking out of it Rubel couldn't read what it said but she was almost certain she knew whose name it had on it a tear rolled down her cheek she had always known that Sapphire and Ruby were super close friends but she had never known their connection went this deep careful not to be noticed she snuck closer to here what Opal was saying to Ruby,"... ended this way. We all knew you to were close and..." "Oh stop messing around it's not going to help." "I guess i'll get to the point then, you know how we've heard rumors of others?" "Yeah" "well what if we started a school? Jade thinks it would be a good idea and so do I, but you know our little agreement we can't do it without your vote." "Continue" "You know what I mean" "*sigh* Fine sure go ahead." "Ruby..." "No!" said Ruby suddenly standing up and turning around to face Opal Rubel ducked behind a tree so as to be seen "Ruby..." "Do whatever you want but i'm not going to see those i train die!" "They might not die!" "You don't know that!" "And neither do you!" Rubel peeked around her tree and saw the two facing each other off standing ready then Opal seemed to deflate "Please?" "No... get Rubel to do it." "We both know she's not ready." "And we both know the reason why..." "*Sigh* fine I'll see if she wants to..." Rubel burst from her hiding spot yelling "I will! I will!" When she got to the bottom Ruby and Opal stared at her and for the first time it occurred to her that she wasn't supposed to be there "Oops" she muttered Ruby turned to Opal "She wants to do it. Let her." Opal turned from Ruby to Rubel a few times before muttering "Fine Safar and Rubel will be the trainers for the fire and water elementals..." "Might as well make all of them.." "Fine! Just fine! The Successors are going to be the trainers! Happy??" Ruby and Rubel muttered at the same time "Yeah"
