It all started with magical stones called the Element Stones. One starry night, the tribal swirls on one stone glow purple interlaced with blue then a wolf walks out of the Galaxy stone. She appears to be confused as to where she is at the time, but then she remembers what mission she has been sent on. Her eyes start to glow white as she senses the arrival of other Element Guardians. She becomes surprised at how many are beside her.

5 foxes and 3 other wolves step from the stones. A black wolf with fiery red eyes steps from the Fire stone, a pink and purple fox with magenta eyes and a matching necklace steps from the Shadow stone. A green and blue fox with orange eyes and bracelets with yellow charms steps from the Light stone, a lavender winged wolf with purple and pink eyes steps from the Air stone. A gray fox with green tribal marks steps from the Acid stone, a brown wolf steps from the Earth stone and finally a normal colored fox steps from the Life stone. Nova looks at all the new Guardian wolves and foxes, she gets more overwhelmed and excited than she has ever been. The others give their names Abrasi, Pixy, Spark, Lavender and Doom Claw. The star marked wolf gives her name, Nova. Pixy hops on the Shadow stone, “Well we were all summoned here for a reason right?” she states. Spark notices some carving on the wall. “The elemental seekers an elite group of Guardian Foxes and Wolves. With extraordinary magic abilities from the elements. The three leaders are Shadow, Light, and Galaxy.” It read.

Nova adds to Pixy’s question, “We had to have been summoned for something, I just sense it!” The galaxy wolf’s eyes glow white again, her pupils shape into stars as she hears something among the group. “Everyone watch out.. I sense that we have something or someone that we are about to encounter.” Nova warns the Guardians as her star pupils scope the land around them. She starts to wander some areas near the Stones, and she spots a black shadow with wings and faded grey eyes that glow. She lets out a growl, but it affects nothing. The dark shadow wolf speaks in a creepy voice, “You can’t do anything, weakling.. You have no weapon or reputation of a real guardian to uphold!” Then the beast begins to laugh, mocking Nova’s weak appearance. Nova snarls again, taking offense from the smokey beast’s words.

Spark summons his bow, arrows, and quiver while Pixy summons her sword. “You’re talking to a fox who’ll make you nonexistent. You’re talking to the Elementals!” Spark raises his voice. Pixy takes a slash at the shadow, trapping it in the shadow resistant glass of the broken heart decal on her sword.

Nova’s eyes flash black to purple a few times, she makes a sharp dagger appear in her paw, “Scared now? Get ready to become nothing but ash!” She prepares to swipe at the shadow wolf and harm him, but Doom snatches Nova’s dagger and tosses it. “Are you serious right now? Leave it to the real leaders or you will only wind up killing one of the Element Guardians!” Nova snarls, “Everyone can harm anything, fool!” But Doom ignores her and forms huge thorny vines with his Earth powers, the vines wrap around the shadow bubble Pixy created in case he breaks out somehow. Nova just assumes that Doom Claw is stuck up.

Lavender flies up and creates a gust that suspends everyone in mid air, “STOP THIS NOW!!” Lavender screams nearly crying. Nova hates hearing yelling and she starts thinking this is all her fault, she tucks her tail between her legs and hides behind her Element Stone. “I don’t want to be part of yelling..” She whines as she cowers, she’s never able to find much bravery against screaming. Doom’s vines fade away and he gets confused at Lavender.

The others stop and Lavender stops the gust. “I’m pretty sure that we are meant to work TOGETHER, instead of trying to kill each other. RIGHT,” Lavender says in Doom Claw and Abrasi's faces, her wings still up. Nova sees Lavender is filled with sudden anger.

Nova remains in hiding, Abrasi nods but Doom is not affected. “Nova can’t deal as much damage as we can though! So Nova’s weapons are useless compared to ours!” Doom starts a fight as he growls toward Nova, he has always disliked how Galaxy wolves attempt to fight.

“So! She has no experience. It’s called PRACTICE, not making her just sit there.” Lavender argues.

Doom still is willing to fight to prove his point, “I never even needed practice when I was young! I am self-taught and I get my powers to work right away!!” Nova starts to whine, nobody being able to hear her over the fierce argument that seemed unending.

“Well try wielding a bow and getting a double bullseye first time!” Spark snaps. Pixy sits in a corner wondering what is going on, she looks at the trapped shadow.

Abrasi stands by Nova like he is her brother and defends her as well, “Doom back off and stop being mean! You have to admit, she is special in her own way so we fight together as a Guardian team!!” Nova smiles and hugs Abrasi, “Thanks so much for helping!” Abrasi shoots a Fire Blast at Doom Claw to force him into stopping.

Pixy, Spark and Lavender step over to everyone. “Guys I found a note outside the cave entrance.” Lavender says holding a note.

Nova wonders about what Lavender has discovered. “What did you find? Can we see the note?” Nova asks Lavender, her curiosity sometimes got the best of her.

“It looks like it says, Guardians you were summoned because you are the best at the magic of your elements to protect the world and help the newest member master her powers.” Lavender reads. Nova listens in on Lavender and what she says. Abrasi stands by Nova again, her purple eyes suddenly water and tears trickle down her face. Abrasi quickly notices and he looks in her eyes gesturing her to tell him what’s going on. Nova doesn’t feel like venting her feelings and doubts, so she runs behind a bush and hides. “What’s wrong? If something’s bothering you, you know you can tell me.” Abrasi notifies her, but Nova shakes her head saying no. The Galaxy wolf somehow senses that Abrasi is going to start another fight if she tells him. Abrasi sighs, he acts like he is giving up but he hugs her. No smile came from her, so Abrasi is out of ideas. Suddenly, Nova sighs and decides to vent to Abrasi. “Abrasi, what’s bothering me is that… Doom is making me feel worthless..” Nova answers, nearly choking on her words. Abrasi’s eyes widen in shock, “Don’t listen to him, you are of many worths! You control the Galaxy realm from which you came, he is just jealous that he has no powers that are related to yours Nova.” Abrasi assures her, then his eyes glow red as he runs over to Doom and punches him square in the face. Doom was not expecting the hit, he growls fiercely. “How DARE you call Nova worthless! You better be ready to get a beating, defenseless scum!” Abrasi yells in anger, his paws form fireballs that blast in Doom’s direction, but he dodges and grabs a dagger. Doom Claw makes an attempt to slash Abrasi right across the stomach, but Abrasi forms a bigger fireball and it slams Doom into a rock. “Ha, you really are foolish Doom Claw. You can’t even kill anyone with your weak attempts can you? Too bad I have no pity and I must harm you for verbally offending Nova!” Doom coughs from being slammed into a rock. Abrasi prepares to finish Doom Claw off but the brown wolf lunges and claws his throat. Suddenly, a pair of glowing blue eyes watch them from the forest near the Element Stone cave. The day turns to night as the shadowy figure of another winged wolf walks to Abrasi and Doom, it shoves Doom off of Abrasi and an ice wall comes out of the ground to separate the two from fighting. “What do you two think you are doing? You are all supposed to be a great team and I come down from my sky flight to find a conflict!?” The figure shouts, Abrasi’s ears lay back and same with Doom. “But… Doom here was offending Nova, he made her cry!” Abrasi tries to defend himself, but the female wolf doesn’t want to hear it. “Enough, silence! You all are special in your own ways, so there is NO reason to argue and fight!” The arctic wolf stares Doom Claw down, he actually whines for once and starts feeling bad. Doom then gathers courage to talk, “Who even are you? We just see you as a strange wolf right now.” The arctic wolf’s eyes aren’t glowing anymore, “I am Crystal, winged goddess of--” Nova cuts the wolf off, “I have heard of you! I am Nova, Galaxy guardian!” Crystal smiles, and Nova senses the arctic wolf has heard of her before as well. “Anyway, I came here because I realized you all finally arrived from your home realms.” Crystal carries on the conversation.

Pixy holds her paw out, “Welcome to the Elemental Seekers.” Pixy smiles, “Since we are all guardian foxes and wolves with elemental powers we should be called the Elemental Seekers.”

Crystal smiles back, her light blue eyes shimmering in the moonlight. Suddenly, Crystal’s ears face forward. “Can I tell you all someth-” Crystal tries to speak but she becomes silenced as some wolves have fallen asleep. Crystal frowns and paces silently around the cave, she grows impatient to talk to the others. She has trouble waiting, fear grows as she thinks what the Elements might think of her once she says what she must. Pixy and Spark create beds and other necessities combining their magic. Abrasi and Lavender share a bed while everyone else has their own. Everyone is in sleep, some light sleepers and some deep sleepers. Crystal begins hearing things, she does not sleep at all so she goes outside and stares into a lake near the cave. “What will they think of me? What will they say in response? Will they kick me from the cave to be left alone until I find other animals?” Crystal asks herself, she fears greatly of everything. Pixy’s ear twitches and she wakes up hearing what Crystal said, and she walks up to Crystal, “About what?” Pixy asks her necklace glowing lightly. The sun begins to rise, Lavender and Spark walk outside to Pixy and Crystal. Crystal notices Pixy, she frowns and replies. “I think it's time I tell you about who I am.” Crystal stands up, “Really sorry for not telling you sooner… But I am-” Crystal is cut off by her brother Abrasi storming out from the cave, “What are you two doing? You both are supposed to sleep!” He yells at them, Crystal senses that he knows what she is going to explain. “Oh, haha I know what this is about! Crystal, just say it or I will be forced to trap you in a fire ring. You better explain to them now!” Abrasi threatens his sister like he always does, he snarls. Crystal becomes fearful of what he could do, she spreads her wings and tries to fly away in an attempt to escape harm. “Oh no you don't!” Abrasi shouts at Crystal. Just as she lifts off the ground, Abrasi forms a fire trap around Crystal and it closes in on her. “Abrasi don't! I'm your sister, you can't kill your family!” Crystal shouts in need of help, tears form in her eyes. Crystal's paws create lightning and the bolts shoot at Abrasi. Doom hears and runs out from the cave, he creates vines that stop the flames from reaching Crystal which angers Abrasi. “What do you think you are doing?!” Doom screams at Abrasi, the black fire wolf thinks of what he was doing and whimpers. “Oh my god, I'm terribly sorry.. I wasn't thinking!” Abrasi apologizes while looking from Doom to Crystal. Doom shakes his head at Abrasi, “You never think, that's your issue! Imagine what Lavender would do if she saw you trying to hurt your sister.” Crystal folds her wings and drops from the air, she lands on her paws and thinks. She gasps, then runs back in the cave in search of Nova and the others. Nova is awake, her eyes glowing white as she senses a fight just ended. “What was that? I heard Abrasi, Doom and you yelling.” Nova asks, she is confused but also completely aware of her surrounding. Pixy freezes everyone except her, Spark, Nova and Lavender. “Alright, we just get over a fight and now someone is trying to kill their SISTER! Let's all just calm down for awhile.” Pixy says her necklace flowing with magic causing it to float around her neck. “Abrasi, I thought you knew better than this.” Lavender says, her ears down. Pixy releases Crystal from the freeze. “It doesn't matter our backstory, what we are or our magic. We are all in this together.” Spark proudly says, stamping his paw print into the dirt below him. Pixy, Nova, Crystal, and Lavender stamp their paw prints next to Spark’s. Pixy releases the others one at a time and they stamp their paw prints in a line. “We are the Elemental Seekers and we are one!” Pixy shouts excitedly
