Chapter Twenty-Eight
Iris’s POV
“How are we going to find them?” I asked Abby as I followed her back to her room with Cain following close behind.
“I’ll explain when we are alone,” she said her voice low as she opened the door to her room. Her room was much like mine but faced east as the sun bathed the marbled floor in gold. The doors onto the balcony were open letting a gentle breeze blow the sheer white curtains dance in waves. “Sit down we have a lot to discuss,” Abby sighed.
Cain sighed, dropping down into a chair as I did, Abby was acting weird and it started to scare me a little. “So what do you wanna tell us?” Cain asked.
I turned to Abby. “I’m waiting on someone then I’ll explain.”
“Come on Abby, I haven’t got all day,” I sighed.
“I’ll take all day if I have to Iris!” she snapped. “I’m not doing this for my health, I’m waiting on someone much older and higher up in my coven than me to explain your and the world’s future to you!”
“Be still Aura,” A gentle voice broke through Abby’s outburst. Abby still eyes widened in alarm before she snapped her head round to look at the woman who had spoken.
“My lady,” Abby rushed up as my eyes widened. The woman stood in front of us was Eve from The Unmated Ball but instead of shoulder length chestnut hair it was long and wavy. Her chocolate brown eyes twinkled with age and a small smile played on her pink lips. Eve wore a navy blue cloak with the hood up and underneath was a pair of black skinny jeans and a corset top.
“Now Aura, please call me by my real name,” she smiled gazing over Abby appearance. Today Abby wore a dark green tight fitting tank top and a grey skirt that ended just below the knee with swirling patterns in white thread. Around her waist was a tick brown belt with a gold detail and a big gold buckle. She was also wearing a pale pink cardigan with tiny flowers down the front and three layered necklaces. Her hair was a wavy mess around her pale face.
“Sorry Grandmother,” Abby bowed her head as I nearly chocked.
“Grandmother?” I gasped as I once again gazed over Eve’s appearance. She was the same height as Abby but other than that they looked nothing alike. Eve had no sign of aging and looked around twenty the same age as Abby looked.
“Yes Iris I am Abby’s Grandmother,” Eve gave a dazzling smile.
“I don’t understand, you’re Eve but you’re a witch.” I shook my head, “how the hell did you get into The Unmated Ball?”
“Well I did a little magic,” she winked.
“But Grandma...” Abby began.
“I’ll explain later Aura,” Eve sat down taking her hood down.
“I don’t understand,” Cain said suddenly. I turned to see the confusion on his face. “So you’re like twenty and Abby’s grandmother, this whole thing is fucked up.” He shook his head in disbelief as I chuckled at him. I could understand how he felt I didn’t understand at all what was going on.
“I’m Sefa the third Origin witch and I had a daughter who then had Abby or the true name she wears which is Aura.”
“Why have you got different names?” Cain asked.
“Well we change them every forty years so that it seems like we have died, if we carried the same name for over a thousand years then humans would pick up on it, wouldn’t they?”
“What’s an Origin witch?” Cain asked.
“The Origin Witches are the first three witches born to the world of men,” Eve explained. “Anyway so tell me Aura what elements have you found?” she turned to Abby who was seated next to Eve.
“Iris who is fire and Cain who is water,” Abby nodded to us.
“Cain you carry your origin name,” Eve smiled. “So we have Cinder and Cain Clearwater, well it is an honour.” She bowed her head. “I have long worshiped the elements and I have searched for you all my life and now I’ve met two.”
“Why have you searched for us?” I asked.
“I’ll explain later,” Eve smiled sadly. “First off Aura how did you come to find them?”
“Iris was found in the woods of the Pack I protect as a baby and Cain found her.”
“Can you control your inner element?” she asked us.
“Iris has been able to summon fire once but I am unsure of Cain,” Abby explained.
“Explain to me Cain why you came to find Iris?”
“Someone told me to,” he shrugged. “I collapsed at the beach and someone whispered to me to find Cinder so I did.”
Shock washed over Eve’s face. “So water has been summoned to fire,” she whispered. “We must find the others, if Fire has been wakened then the others are not far behind.” She told Abby in a rush.
“I don’t understand,” I said looking at the two in confusion.
“The elements were never meant to come together,” Eve said. “me and my sisters put a stop to it,” she turned to me.
“But why?” Cain asked.
“Have you not told them?” Eve asked Abby who looked away in guilt.
“Told us what?” I barked getting more and more angry.
“If the four elements come together without Akasha then the world will end!” Eve explained.
So the first people spread across the world. Although they were different colours and spoken different languages they were one. It was the same with all creatures including those of darkness and those born in light. They all were born from a womb and they were all siblings.
But gradually there were those who forgot. They forgot about the four elements that watched over them. The Spirit came with his talk of power, control and over time the humans forgot the peace that came before. The Spirit convinced that there was a difference between, humans and animals; and animals and plants; and between the people themselves by reason of the colour of their skin, their wealth and class. And the elements became nothing more than a myth.
It was then when the animals withdrew from humankind, became wilder and scatter from people in fear. They feared the poison that the Spirit has sent root in the hearts of mankind. In the same way, Humans began to divide and draw away from one another with suspicion and fear of one another.
As time grew the humans began to wrongly accuse one another until they became fierce and warlike and thus the wars began.
From above the gods observed in silence, watching them destroy the earth. That’s when she decided. She had seen too much destroyed.
She turned to her fellow gods and said; “I have observed this for far too long.” Her voice bellowed across the golden hall as the gods all listened. “They cannot be allowed to continue like this so therefore the earth should be destroyed.”
The other gods were outraged. They could not allow the earth to be destroyed. “They are doing this on their own,” she shouted through the outburst of protests. “The earth same be destroyed and when the earth rise from the smoke, and the water drains away their will be anew earth. A better one.”
So it was agree by the gods that when the four reunite the earth shall tremble and fall. Through the smoke, the rocks, the water and the wind a new world shall rise.
