Shooting Stars is my very first novel.
I started it in September 1998. The series is the story of five young beings, four aliens and a dragon, who are born with special powers in fulfillment of ancient Prophecies.

Long ago, there was a long and bloody war between the Lerox-Kript and a power-hungry race called the Kelpoid. The war raged for decades, and the Leroxians would have lost were it not for the help of five mystical beings with special powers called The Five. But in a last-ditch effort to win the war, the Kelpoid destroyed the Leroxian home planet, Solen. Once the planet was destroyed, the remnant of the Leronxian race fled to find a new home. After decades of wandering space, they discovered Earth. They made a deal with early humans thay they would protect them from invadeing aliens that were boudn to come if they could live on one half of the Earth, and the humans on the other. But as the years wore on, the isolated Leroxians were forgotten and kept secret by the human race.
Then, years later, the defeated Kelpoid tracked the leroxians down and attacked. There was a horrible massacare, later known as the Great Massacare of Sero '35. Half of the Leroxian population was killed. Abiding by Ancient Laws of combat, the Kelpoid told the Lerox-Kript that they had nine years to  prepare for war.
A year before, however, five youths were born with special powers. Their gifts were unknown to their parents until just before, and just after the Great Massacare. Five specialists took in these youths and trained them.
They had the powers of the Five Natural Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Life, like the original Five. They grew up, and are forced into the Great War the now rages around them. They are the only hope for the survival of their race, along with the humans, and perhaps even the rest of the Free Peoples of space.
But what can five children possibly do to help in a war between the two most powerful species in the Universe?

I have been working on this story for a very long time. I have started and restarted it countless number of times. The characters have evolved and shifted, the plot has changed a bit here and there. I've been working on it for three and a half years. And I'm still not past the first chapter. /_-
