Prologue
In the beginning, when man was just finding its evolution, they were forged, men and women of the element, the temples and shrines of the world. We were the peace; we were the strong, the powerful, and the protectors of our world. Two of the greatest of these creatures were the elements of life and death, as they were the first of their kind, and under them they have created fire, water, earth, air, and ice. They continued to grow and create more of them like: magma, or electrictricity, but they were hunted, and killed for the fear of their power. They were strong, but they weren't strong enough for an army, for thousands of years they lived in peace until one of them broke the unspoken trust the humans had with the creatures, and a war was waged. All of them were killed or went into hiding, and now they live among us, as regular people.all throughout the world, except In the island of Jenwar, where many of these species exist, living like the rest of us

Part one: introduction
Present Day: He was so fast, I couldn't keep up, the way he moved, he almost flew across the ground. I only could see slight glimpses of him in the moonlight, dark ragged cloak, dead white hands and his face was pitch black. My heart was racing, beating like a drum. Even I couldn't have thought it was possible... he was like a shadow... he suddenly stopped without even the slightest of hesitation he turned and grabbed my shirt, and... And his face, it burned like the fires from Hell itself. His eyes fed with evil, his skin dried down to the bone... he opened his mouth as a slight sound emerged an-

I jumped up, gasping for air. My room was cold and the air was crisp. The night sky was still beaming down in my room, sparkling like a diamond... I sat in the silence for a while until I finally put my head back down and fell asleep. I awoke with a start to the sound of yelling and loud bangs. I sat up and whispered... "Home" I grabbed my head and made a groan... my reddish yellow eyes were glowing again, so much I could see the floor in the still dim room.

I stood up in my sweat pants and looked around, it looked familiar yet foreign... it was like I haven't been here for years. I put on my shirt and went down stairs, my little sister Clara, my older brother Jax, and my mom, Alice, were all fighting, and throwing things at each other, my brother is about 6' 2" bulky, protective yet very aggressive, and my sister...well let's just say she's as far from human as a monkey, she is and always has been a crazy off the wall kind of person. I was just a normal baby but as I got older, I changed I turned into how I am today my eyes changed red when I turned 8 or 9, my hair started changing when I started growing other hair in other places. It was hard to get used to at first, but I grew into it, my hair is never combed, I try so hard to get it down but it doesn't budge, and as for my father he is a scientist, he has worked hard on pyrotechnics in the past and now is starting to move past them and focus on energy in general, he has built multiple power plants a crossed Jenwar and some of the other countries on our coast. I don't get to see him very often, and when I do, he comes home burned and tired.

I quickly ate my food, not wanting to get involved with their fighting and yelling. I opened up the front door and shouted "I'm going down the street!" I closed the door breathing heavily. "Phew." I gasped. I walked down the street passing the Nagy old lady. "She yelled a few unheard and incoherent words at me" I looked at her puzzled, smiled jokingly and walked off. As I passed more and more houses, I lost track of time and kept walking looking at the scenery, until I found myself in a forest. When I came to my senses I realized this and looked around I saw no light from any civilization at all, confused and a bit frightened I turned around and started to walk faster. I heard a leaf crack and I jumped away, frightened I put up my fists. A hand popped out of the bush then a leg then a head and soon an entire person emerged from the small bush! A woman with dark black hair appeared hands up and shaking she looked maybe a few years older than me like 18 or so. "wh- who are you" I asked stopping every so often she stated I'm... I'm Kel- Kelly" she gasped... "Wh- who are you?" I was speechless "I'm uhh". "Should I tell her my real name?" I thought. My name is Markus. She smiled sweet and slightly devilish. What are u doing here, MARKUS? She emphasized on my name. "Do I know you?" I asked she smiled now I do and ran off deeper into the woods laughing. Intrigued I followed her showing and yelling "hello?!"

I could hear laughter every once in awhile but I was losing all light in the day, the trees became red and orange the sun had only a sliver left, but the laughter prevailed. I looked around and decided to just turn around and go, I stepped backward and pumped into what felt like a bear and fell, Face first into the dirt and leaves on the ground I looked up to see a burly man with a Huge black beard. "Well Ello there lady" he said in an Irish like accent "what are you doing down der" I looked up at him and wasn't frightened, maybe it was his accent or his child like smile, but he seemed like no harm. I stood up, brushed myself off and said 'sorry sir, but I'm kind of lost do u by any chance know where civilization or maybe my neighborhood, Bright street?" he chuckled " son I've been in here for almost 50 years all alone and come to think of it your one of the only people eye met, you and a young girl, but that was many many years ago. "Oh I'm sorry sir" I gasped, "what did this girl look like exactly?" he looked back concerned "Well ets been awhile but I 'member her name it was something like dea-? kill-? Kelly that's it, err name was Kelly." I stepped back, how long was a long time ago? "Ehh about 20 years I would say, why?" "Because I think I know her" I replied

He look at me stunned. "You must be mistaken, she must be an elderly woman by now." he chuckled. "no sir I'm not" just then he froze looking over my shoulder... I turned around slowly, there she was, in all black looking at us both with somewhat of an evil smile, the burly man opened his mouth "kelly...?" he said after a moment or two... how... how did you stay so... so young? She giggled and looked at us back and forth, "I'm just magic like that" she said. he rubbed his eyes over and over trying to decipher what he was seeing, I looked at her "what are you" I said, she looks at me childishly and with a flick of her arm she began to grow and hair began to shift from a pitch black, to an almost white blond, she became older about almost 40ish, he looked at her in awe. "john, I have brought you here all those years ago because I found you were being hunted, along with this young boy here she gestured to me, he also is wanted, me I have gone from many names, from and angel of gods to Ra of the Egyptians, I have many forms most of which may not even look human, you two are destined to be among legends, to be as gods of this age, there are more like you. But some don't have the appearance of you two some its more hidden> John... Markus... I need you help protecting them, find yourselves a team, make yourselves stronger and trust in no one but your kind-" she was interrupted by john. "Our kind!" he shouted "what is exactly our kind, I am a human always have been, always will be!" She looked at him, do you really believe that, you have those dreams... feelings of a deference by humans, you're not, you have powers beyond you can ever believe, and with my help... you can use them for good." I stepped forward... "What am I?"
