Story written by AnnieBeck

Title: THE FIFTH ELEMENT

A thousand years ago, there was an ancient world that was ruled by gods and goddesses.
But when it was time to go back into the heavens, these mighty beings bestowed some of their powers to four trusted mortals that served them. The four mortal men and women each received a different elemental power in order to keep the balance on this world.

Azuu got the power of the fire element.
Myra got the power of the water element.
Zed got the power of the Air element.
And Suri got the power of earth element.

After the beings had disappeared into the sky, the four mortals lived in peace and harmony with each other and their families separately.

As time went by, other people from far and nearby villages came to witness the power that was granted to these mere mortals like them.

They were in awe.

Some were envious while some were frightened.

It was rare to see these kind of powers emit from a mortal.

After several years of peace and harmony.... These special mortals gave birth to children of their own who also possessed these gifts.

They knew that the mighty beings had given them gifts that would last for generations and they were thankful.

When the children of these mortals grew up to adolescence, their parents each, started a lesson for them, teaching them ways they can control their abilities and become a great elemental..

As these children progressed in age, the son of the fire lord and the daughter of the lady of the water tribe fell for each other deeply.

These two children grew up to love each other, however when their parents noticed what was going on between the two children, they had to put a stop to it , for they feared the outcome might be terrible and might befall on them all.

They told each of them horrible stories of what might happen if they end up marrying each other but these two were headstrong and they continued with their love story.

After some years... they children grew up into powerful adults and decided to marry each other.
But this marriage was the beginning of Chaos.

**
The newly married couple welcomed their first child, but this child had both fire and water elemental power.

This brought about division among each of the elemental clan.
The mortals couldn't allow anyone to posses more than one elemental power as it might bring inbalance to the world, so they had to sentence the innocent new born to death.

The fire Lord told his son that the water tribe was responsible for the demise of the new born child in order to keep the children away from each other.

The water tribe leader also told her daughter that the fire tribe was responsible for the demise of the new born child.

This lie caused the hatred that spread around the fire clan and the water tribe.
