"Why am I doing this? I am giving up my own children so that we can reign as queen and king of Quilla. Arianna and Zach are too young!" said Queen Callisto. "It is for the greater good. Arianna and Zach will be plenty fine as peasants. Nobody will harm them, and they will never know their heritage so they cannot fulfill the prophecy." said King Amor.

Three hours later the childless couple Aza and Han saw the abandoned babies. A note told them they were to be named Arianna and Zach. They took them to their house and raised them as their own.

10 Years Later...

"Hi Mom and Dad!" shouted Arianna. Zach and Arianna were coming home from Silverleaf Academy. They were exhausted but still had homework. They entered and started their homework.

"Ugh. Professor Tinsel gives us so much homework." Zach complained. "Zach, Professor Tinsel is our history teacher. Of course he gives us lots of homework. There is loads of stuff to learn about the history of Quilla." said Arianna. "Zach, Arianna, can you come to the kitchen please." asked Aza. "Yes Mom." they said.

"Mom, what is this about?" asked Arianna. "That's what we need to tell you." said Aza. "We aren't your parents. We found you in the temple. A note told us you were to be named Arianna and Zach. "You lied... YOU LIED TO US!" cried Arianna and she ran out of the room. Zach gave his foster parents a sad look and ran after his sister. Aza and Han looked at each other. They knew they did the right thing.

"Hey Arianna, you forgot your..." Zach trailed off. Arianna's blond hair was black, but that wasn't the most disturbing thing, her hand was on fire! "ARIANNA IS ON-" Arianna covered Zach's mouth with her non-flaming hand. "Shhh! It doesn't hurt me. And you can do it too according to the prophecy." said Arianna. "What prophecy?" asked Zach. "The Twin Prophecy Zach! It all fits!" exclaimed Arianna. "That means our parents are..." Zach trailed off. "The king and queen. Yes. Which is why I'm running away to get away from this place. If someone finds out they will tell the king and queen. There is a reason why they gave us up." said Arianna. And so before Zach could stop her she ran away.

"Almost.. there..." Arianna stopped to catch her breath and straightened her catawampus bow. She saw a peach tree and grabbed two for offerings.

The temple of Ostio, the god of ice and Auna, the goddess of fire, was empty. A day's worth of offerings were placed on the altar. Arianna lit a candle and placed peaches on the altar. "Please Auna and Ostio, help me." prayed Arianna. Suddenly there was a flash of light and a memory started...

"Why am I doing this? I am giving up my own children so that we can reign as queen and king of Quilla. Arianna and Zach are too young!" said Queen Callisto. "It is for the greater good. Arianna and Zach will be plenty fine as peasants. Nobody will harm them, and they will never know their heritage so they cannot fulfill the prophecy." said King Amor. Arianna gasped. Her mom and dad were looking at baby her and baby Zach. But the memory wasn't done yet smoke filled the temple as Arianna was transported hours later.

"Mom, Dad." whispered Arianna. Aza and Han looked so young. "It says they are to be named Arianna and Zach." said Aza. "We tell them when they are ten. That we are not their real parents. We have to." said Han. "Agreed." replied Aza. They left the temple. Arianna was pulled back to the present.

"I hope that was enlightening." says a young girl with warm red hair. "Indeed. I hate to waste memories." said a young boy with dark black hair. "I know you from somewhere. Where?" asked Arianna. "Look around." said the young girl. It hit Arianna. "You are the god Ostio and the goddess Auna." Arianna gasped. "Indeed Arianna. I am to blame for your fire problem." said Auna. "As the goddess of fire, I blessed you with the gift of fire." "And as the god of ice, I blessed your brother with the gift of ice." said Ostio. "We hope we didn't choose wrong. Good luck and thank you for the peaches." said Auna. Slowly they dissolved into glittering powder. Then Arianna was transported to a different place.

There was a scroll pinned to the house.

Dear Roomie Arianna,

My name is Violet. I am your sister and roomie while we are hiding from the King and Queen. I will be back at 5:00. See you then!

Violet

Arianna ran inside. It was 4:45. She wanted to be unpacked before she met her sister.

"Wow. Such a pretty painting." said Arianna. "I probably should find my room though." So she left the living room and looked in doors until she found her bedroom.

"Wow. This must be my room." said Arianna. "Indeed it is." said a voice. Arianna gasped. A little girl was talking to her from her mirror. "I am your mirror Ivy. I take messages from your sister. She wants you to come to her room." and with that Ivy left her mirror.

"Good job Ivy. Hello Arianna." said Violet. "Hi Violet. WHATAREWEDOINGHEREANDWHY HAVEN'TEVERHEARDABOUTYOU!" said Arianna without a breath between words. "Wow. Auna told me you were feisty. Allow me to explain." and with that Violet grabbed Arianna's hand and pulled her into the past.

"Before our mom was well, our mom, she lived in the tiny village of Hearthstone, Quilla. She was a smart girl." said Violet. Arianna tried to speak but Violet covered her mouth and said, "Follow me."
