Discontinued Plot Lines

Since I first decided to write the adventures there have been several plot lines that I have discontinued either because of space, poor integration into the story, or when I lost one version of the "timeline" I forgot to add it back in and decided to leave it out.  Here are a few that could have existed:

Capturing the Phoenixes-In the books it was going to become a piece that for each element, there existed a corresponding phoenix (not just for the fire element).  The story is that it is a Jem family challenge to acquire all of them in some manner.  Phoenix would share the challenge with Zach and over the course of the books, he would capture all of the remaining ones.

Shadow Realm City-At some point in the adventures, a "Shadow Realm" is created to hold major evils that either could not be fully destroyed or considered not dangerous enough to destroy.  What came of this, is that small civilizations and temples would form inside the realm and the HGMs would have to at times visit the realm to complete tasks or ensure that the realm would not collapse.

Area Championships-This was a story arc that would have become to complex with the "good vs evil" plot lines that occur so often.  In this activity, there would be challenges set up across the continents where challengers would take on masters of different activities (Creature battles, Spirit duels, weapon battles, etc) and if they pass, they get to move onto the next level.  At the end of the competition, they can take on the High Grandmaster of that continent in one competition (the HGM has a cap on their power).  If they pass that level, then they get to enter a grand festival where they take on one of the other HGMs using their strongest powers.  

Chasity-Chasity is the daughter of one of the EL's former leaders, and her spirit was supposed to end up inside of Paige (be a fusion spirit of Paige and Sapphire).  This line was pretty much discontinued as her serving as a permanent spirit due to the role that Paige would take later in the adventures.

These are just some of the plot lines that I have discontinued for different reasons.  In the future I might share a few more that have fallen to the wayside.
