Story With My Sis

(This is a story my sister and I created. I'm posting a little at a time - hope you enjoy!)

Once upon a time, there was a castle. It was ancient, and it held an ancient race of beings. These beings had been asleep for thousands of years. The world around them had continued to grow, but they had stayed the same.

Seemingly stuck in time.

Their race had no name; they were simply called the Elders. And now, it appeared that the Elders were stirring - not quite awake, but no longer in their slumber.

Orca looked up to the castle with curiosity as the other adults gossiped about the strange rainstorms across the region. They hadn't seen rain for so long. To them it was long hoped for - but never a reality.

"So, Orca dear," one of the adults asked - Orca can't quite remember her name - "what do you plan on doing while you're waiting for your brother to come back?"

"Nothing," she said, blankly staring at the speaker.

"Surely you aren't going to go to the castle again this summer?" gasped one of the women around.

She sighed and looked at the storm clouds, everyone asking her questions. They always asked her questions.
