The Elements
A long time ago, in the middle ages, a great time of warriors and epic battles, there was a city, Olympia. This town was lead by a great man, Edward, who was brave and intelligent, and he had a son, Yami, who was fascinated by magic. But under this light, the good thing, there was dark, where terrible people lived, ruled by a dark magician. They wanted Olympia for themselves.
One day, these dark men took over Olympia by taking the king prisoner. Their leader, the dark magician, occupied the throne and sent some people to capture Yami, the heir. When they found him, Yami tried to run away, but they were faster than him, he was going to be captured and probably killed, but suddenly… a powerful wizard appeared and rescued Yami .Then he escaped outside the city, to the resistance town.
Yami was desperate, he didn’t know what to do, Dark was so powerful. He thought that if he became a magician, he could beat dark and claim the throne. So he met the magician who had saved him and he started training. The magician, named Jack, explained to Yami that all the spells are about 5 elements: fire, water, earth, air and lightning. All these elements are stronger and weaker than others. Every man was born with one element and then, when they had trained for a long time, they could get their second element, like him, who could control Earth and Fire. But some people, can be born with two elements, and can become the most powerful magicians. After the explanation, Yami started to look for his own element, and he discovered it, he had the element of Air. He was very happy. Jack told Yami that the best way to control the air was to try to cut a paper only with no hands, to control the air and make it sharp like the tip of a sword. So Yami started training several hours until he did it, he could cut the paper. The next stage was to launch a wave of sharp air to a tree, and cut it down. This was very difficult, but if he could do that, he could completely control the element, and maybe, he could find another one. Two days later he did it, he was very exhausted, he cut the tree and immediately he fell down. When he woke up he felt like a new person, full of power, and something else… the fire element! He was ready to learn spells. But he wouldn’t need Jack anymore, because he had to make the spells with his imagination. Yami was very intelligent and creative and he rapidly made lots of spells, but he invented one that was one of the most powerful in the world, because he combined the air and fire together. He was ready.
His next problem was to prepare the battle, so he gathered the best warriors of the resistance, and they made the best armors and weapons they could. They were ready to fight. He and his troops went all together to Olympia, they were unstoppable. The Dark had many soldiers, but the Light was fighting for their people so they were stronger. Suddenly, the dark magician appeared and beat most of the light soldiers. He was up in a mountain throwing thunders with his lightning element, and the soldiers near him were killed by his dangerous force. Yami didn’t know what to do, he was just a boy, but he remembered his best spell, and he knew he couldn’t lose. He used all his power to throw an amazing fireball, and then he used his air element to expand the fireball and divide it in one thousand fire balls, his best spell, the Rain of Fire. The black magician couldn’t believe it, there was no escape, he was dead.
The light won! Olympia was not controlled by the dark any more. But something was missing… Edward, Yami’s father! Yami searched in the entire town, inside each building. He didn’t find him, until he saw him unconscious lying on the street. He had escaped from the dark but, unfortunately, he had fainted. Yami took him safely to his castle and called the best doctors in Olympia, they told Yami that he was only exhausted and that he had to rest some time. The next day, Edward woke up with a smile in his face, because Yami was next to him. Finally, they were all together.
Edward took the throne again and Yami became the best wizard in Olympia. The people reconstructed the destroyed buildings and they lived in peace again. They all knew that the dark would never defeat the light, no matter how much time passed, the Light would always win.
