Prologue :)

When it all began, the only beings to be found in the eerie darkness were the almighty gods. They were powerful beings. Each god was entitled to a different power. There were 16 gods and they were split into four clans, according to their power they possessed. The gods possessed the powers of water, fire, earth and wind. These powers ran through the gods descendants blood, but with every new generation their powers weakened.

The gods loved their home, and they all lived in harmony. Combining their power and knowledge, they created a universe filled with planets and stars to illuminate the darkness surrounding them. But over time they became greedy for power, domination, knowledge and wealth, turning against each other to get what they want.

On one particular planet, they placed two beings. The first humans ever to be created, Adira and Anwell. The population of humans steadily increased over the years. Soon the gods themselves began to have children. An oracle spoke to the gods and prophesied of the humans. She prophesied that the humans would storm the earth and destroy it and the gods and their children along with it. The gods were outraged at this. They felt it was unsafe to place their own children amongst the humans who were proving to be dishonourable and disrespectful. So they created a second dimension, where their children would be safe from the eyes of the humans.

This dimension was called the Elemental Realm. The people of this land were called the elementals. Just as their fathers and mothers, the gods, they were able to control an element. There were four elements, water, fire, earth and air. Each elemental possessed a power within them. Some possessed the power of the flame, others possessed the power over the waters, lands or skies. This new dimension had six realms, including the main realm, 'Elisia' where the court and schools were built. There was the water realm 'Oceania,' the realm of all living things 'Arbor,' 'Pyra' the realm of fire, 'Aeras' the air realm and finally 'Ades' the realm of darkness. Laws needed to be put in place and with that a monarchy.

Aquarius, son of the god Zale, stormed out of the courtroom of Elisia.He stomped heavily through the wide tiled hallways causing the tiles to crack with every step. He swung the door roughly aside. On his bed lied his wife, Amara, with a bulge in her stomach. He stood shocked with utter surprise. ‘I’m pregnant,’ she said. As the months went by, the bulge became very big. The bulge was bigger than what other women had told his wife and had said it was very unusual. This began to worry him. Calling help upon his diviner, he ordered her to his wife’s room.

“Sire you’re wife is having twins," she muttered as she stared up at the ceiling. Her milky eyes seemed to be looking at the roof, although she had not seen for many years.

"Twins? This can’t be,’ he gasped.

“Both boys will be strong, but one will be jealous of the other. Forced into the darkness he will strive to be better than his brother,’ her voice boomed.

A tear welled up in his wife’s eye.

‘We must prevent this form happening. At the age of twelve we will move the firstborn into the tower. The prophecy must be reversed.’

“Aquarius, surely there is another way.” begged his wife. “How can you lock away your own son?”

His hand lay gently on his wife’s back. “You must understand I am doing this for the good of our children, and our kingdom.”

“Very well.” said his wife, her voice quivering. “Do what you must to keep my sons safe.”

Eleven moons later the twins were born and were named Baladan and Eric. Baladan was sent to the tower to be looked after by servants and was to live there. He grew jealous of his brother for being able to stay with his parents while he was locked up. His brother would visit him and tell him of his adventures and achievements through the bars separating them. Eric had lived a good and luxurious life while Baladan had been locked up all his life. So he created a plan.

The rulers at the time began to age and so an event was thrown to see who would inherit the thrones. Since everyone was related only the strongest, mightiest, bravest and most loyal elementals would land their spots upon the thrones of the four kingdoms.

Baladan was not allowed to participate in the competition. While he had been locked in his tower a boy who had been a sorceress’ son had taught him enchantments through cell bars. The event came around and Baladan was ready. With groans of pain, he grasped the cell bars and stretched them. Crawling through the hole he had created in the bar’s he left the walls of the tower in search of the stadium. Outside the doors of the palace, he placed an enchantment on himself. His once brown skin turned a pale blue, his black hair now white and his red eyes now red.

‘No one will stop me. For I am the rightful leader, Deimos.’

They faced certain death, battling sirens and dragons but in the end, five succeeded. It was to be only four that were to be the leaders of the next generation. Four of the five remaining, Celina, Hayden, Tivona and Eric had sparked a friendship. And then there was Deimos. He always seemed to be missing or was standing alone, he never once talked to the other competitors.

The ceremony had begun and Tito, a giant had made his way up to the stand.

Taking a piece of paper from his pocket he began to read the names of the future leaders. 'Eric Dyanos, Hayden Blaise, Tivona Tierra and...'

Before the name "Celina Azure" could escape the giant's lips a huge Blackclaw dragon burst through the stadium, clawing at audience members. Deimos who had been standing behind the others, pushed them to the ground, making his way up to the stage. ‘Mavre drake, ela konta,’ he mumbled. A black claw dragon appeared out of thin air above him and began clawing at audience members with long talons. The dark creature swooped from the audience to the stand where Baladan stood proudly. ‘You will regret this,’ he cackled as he soared off into the skies on the dragon. Palace guards attempted to chase after the pair but the dragon was too fast.

Baladan had turned against everything the elementals believed in and used his powers for evil uses and because of this, the Elementals were to never use their powers again. The gods made sure of this and got rid of every book holding information on the powers the elementals held.The powers the elementals had were too strong and were impossible to remove, so instead the God’s decided to brainwash every last Elemental.

In that time it was forbidden to marry another Elemental from another realm but Isabella Línníell and Dylan Calder didn't care. This would cause an uproar in Isabella's family as she was a royal. They were so madly in love Isabella was forced to run away to the water realm 'Oceania', where she disguised herself as a commoner for ten years, before marrying the handsome king in front of the whole kingdom. They had two daughters, Talia (Born of Water) and Kenna (Born of Fire). Them both being of different elements while being sisters was very rare and was called "Diversis El."

So this is where our story begins!
