Running Away

Running Away

Episode 1

A long, long time ago, before the birth of any elemental controller, angels and demons ruled the world. Just like black and white, day and night, light and dark, these beings were said to be complete opposites of the other. Why wouldn't such powerful and brilliants beings not be alive anymore? As the legend has it, an Angel and Demon had a forbidden relationship that angered the gods, sending their world as they knew it into complete and utter chaos. A powerful Goddess took pity on the couple, the Goddess of love. She thought what the other Celestial beings did was way too cruel, especially towards their own people, the angels. So she gave them a choice. That they shall die together today, or one may continue to live on with the memories of this life time. The Goddess thought she was doing them a favor by letting one keep their memory. The Angel told the goddess to let the Demon keep the memories, so that the Angel could be reassured that the Demon would reincarnate even if the Angel could not. But the Demon knew that there was no life without the Angel, so the Demon hugged the Angel one last time, before piercing his heart with his soul devouring sword. The Angel cried and begged the Goddess to save his lovers soul, but the Goddess could do but nothing. He was gone. So the Goddess granted one last favor as she silently cried from the  sky above. She granted the Demons sword to be engraved and become one with the Angels soul. As the fury of the other celestial beings rained their wrath on their world, the Angel held his dead lover in his arm, unimaginable pain and silent tears rupturing his already broken heart til the end.

Thousands of years later, the once destroyed world blossomed into a beautiful place, where Elemental wielders ruled. The Shadow Kingdom, The Light Kingdom, The Unknown Kingdom, The Wind Kingdom, The Water Kingdom, The Fire Kingdom, The Nature Kingdom, The Ice Kingdom, The Sky Kingdom, and The Animal Kingdom. Like their predecessors, the ten known Kingdoms lived in constant war with one another, countless lives lost everyday, and poverty caused by war taxes spread commonly for the common folks.

But today... was a special day that only occurred every one hundred years. Today was the day that the one and only Angel was reborn.

A woman on a farm screamed in pain as the expected baby came out crying. A happy new father held up the baby laughing, a smile so bright on his face that made his wife even happier. The wife closed her eyes slowly and whispered. "I finally... gave you a son..." The man looked at his wife, seeing the heavy blood on the cotton cloth, he stood there shocked. One silent tear slid down his cheek, the only noise was the babies screams. The man mourned his dead wife for days, the man blamed the baby for taking his wife's life, but he blamed himself even more. But once he looked into his newborns eyes, he saw the same agony he was feeling himself, which melted his heart completely, all hatred and blame gone like it never existed.
