Elementis: When Fates Align...

Chapter 16: The Note

Somewhere down beneath the burning of the fire

Down underneath all of the embers and the red flame

Where my hatred runs deepest for you.

Right there where all of our darkest secrets

And our horrifying truths now reside.

Meet us all there at that forsaken spot

All of your nightmares will be forced ajar

There lies the body of a deceased minor

If only this cruel world had been kinder.

A family wouldn't be encapsulated by grief.

Even with all your apologies and regrets

You still can't face the unbridled truth.

Your days playing hero are almost over.

You know where I'll be little hero.

You have until nine Curtsey of the LOV

"What could it mean?" asked Deku.

"That's why we're here dipshit," said Bakugo but even he was scratching his head. Metaphorically speaking of course.

"There is no address, no directions... how are we supposed to know what to do? Let alone know where to go?" asked Shoto.

"The note tells us where to go, it tells us who it's for and it tells us everything we need to know." I point out. The riddle is clear it tells us everything we need to know.

"First thing is first. We need to figure out who this is for." Fatgum explains to us.

"We know who it's for. It's about me!" proclaims Endeavor. "The riddle mentions flames and I am the fire quirk leader."

"If I may sir." Izuku quips. "This doesn't seem like it's about you. The note mentions fire, yes, but it ends with 'little hero'. You're not little in any way. You're a large man, you're the number 1 hero. There should be no reason to call you little. It seems like this note might be geared to either me, Shoto, Kacchan, or Suhan."

"That's a good theory kid, but how do we decipher who it is? We've got 45 minutes to figure out where we should be meeting them," said Aizawa leaning over to view his own notes.

"Maybe it's not about the words maybe it's about the letters." Izuku pointed out.

"The letters?" Hawks asked.

"Like the first letter of all the words spells some shitty's hero name or the last letter. Something like that Deku?" asked Tsuki turning to look at Deku and his notes.

"Yeah, exactly Kacchan!"

"But the front letters don't make a word and the backs don't make a match either." Said Aizawa.

"Deku I think that's enough suggestions you should just sit down now," said Endeavour. Izuku sat down his face flushed in embarrassment. It was almost as if all of us planned it but Tsuki, Shoto, and I all shot Endeavor an angry glare. That's when something clicked in my brain... a letter puzzle. I copied the entire riddle line for line on my notepad. And I figured it out. 

"Hey, can I go to the bathroom?" I asked. Everybody in the room turned to look at me. Endeavor sneered in my direction.

"You really can't hold it for 30 more minutes."
