"We have to choose the next 5 people to have the elemental powers," Hyozanryu said.
"Yes we do but who shall we choose?" Tranquility asked. "The people we have chosen have all died. The people we chose were stupid enough to allow people to find out about their secret sooner than expected. For heaven's sake, one of them was stupid enough to change in public. They weren't very clever."
"So this time we must choose five people who are smart and cunning," Gren said.
"Yes but we must also look at their personality," Desdemona said.
"What do you mean by personality?" Avani asked. "Like we should get someone who doesn't like violence? What does personality have to do with this?"
"Maybe if they're tough and don't allow people to mess with them, then maybe, just maybe, this can be a more successful choice!" Gryphon yelled.
The six gods continued to argue about whom to choose to obtain elemental power. "ENOUGH!" Slifer yelled.
Everyone was silent again. "Maybe if we can just all calm down, we can decide!" he cried.
Slifer was an extremely long snake-like red dragon with spikes running along his back. He had very large wings, razor-sharp claws, a smaller mouth on top of his main one (The smaller one was used more for attacks and the larger one was used a lot for talking but was sometimes used to attack as well), and he was also known as Slifer the Sky Dragon. He was the god of electricity, one of the six elements known on Earth. He was one of the more intelligent gods and one of the wisest. He was usually the one who had to stop the others when they argued. He's also the one who helps choose five people to have powers. "Now all of you calm down," he ordered. "We mustn't hurry. We have time. But if we continue to fight like this, we'll never give powers to the five people and the world will be at its doom."
"You're right Slifer," Gren said.
Gren's full name is Gren Maju Da Eiza. He was a snake-like creature as well. He had dragon-like wings, six spider-like legs, had sharp claws, and had green scaly skin but he's covered in orange plating. It's not exactly metal armor. But it's more like hard skin like the type beetles have over their body. He also had horns on both sides of his head. He was the god of fire. He's one of the gods who fights a lot as well. He isn't that wise but he's a fighter. He likes to fight to show his enemy whose boss. "So…how do we determine who to choose?" Desdemona asked.
Desdemona is sort of like a demon. She had green skin, very dark purple hair, so dark it looked like black at times, a third eye in the middle of her forehead but it was positioned as vertical slit, purple eyes, and was wearing a dark purple dress with black sort-of high heels. She was the goddess of darkness. Darkness isn't exactly an element but to the gods it was considered one. She was more of a loner. She liked spending time in darkness alone. She was tough and mean at times. But she would help the others at times too. She was another one of the smartest and was sometimes wise. "First of all, I think we should do what Desdemona suggested. We should look at their personality as well. It could help the chosen ones," Hyozanryu suggested.
Hyozanryu was also a dragon but not an ordinary one. He was made from rock hard frost that could never melt. He was icy blue and his claws, his horn on the top of his nose, and his horns on the back of his head were made from a diamond that, for some odd reason, turned into a golden color. He had black eyes as well. He was the god of frost/ice. He loved to be in icy terrains, especially in low temperatures. He's another intelligent one and he's less of a fighter. He's got the blood of a silver dragon in him. He doesn't like to fight a lot and he would fight only when he had to, since silver dragons didn't like to fight either and only fought if they had to. And he always looked on the bright side. "But then what should we look for? Someone who's tough or someone who's parents had powers?" Tranquility asked.
Tranquility was a blue skinned woman with colorful hair. Her hair sparkled in the sunlight. She wore a long baby blue dress with tiny white spots on it. She also had blue eyes. She was the goddess of water. She is another one of the wisest. She likes to spend time in water. And at times, she would turn into a mermaid. She had the ability to transform into any creature of the water. She was a strong fighter and usually depended on water to fight. She hated it when something would harm the water. Like when oil was found in the water or when garbage would kill animals because of the peoples' carelessness. She was the one out of all the gods who actually cared about her element so much. Everyone else's element couldn't be harmed except for water and earth. "We must look for someone who can keep a secret a secret for a long time. Yes it's true that everyone will eventually find out, but at least they can keep it secret," Gryphon explained.
Gryphon was a large eagle. He was turquoise, had red eyes, and yellow feet and beak. He was the god of wind. He loved making tornadoes with his wings and preferred to work alone. He believed that wind was the strongest element, hence the reason why he liked working alone in fights. He was an intelligent one and another one of the wisest. He was also known as Punished Eagle. People believed that he was condemned by the Devil Himself, which is why they believe is one reason he has red eyes. But then he was saved by God and became a god. Gryphon was just born with red eyes. He was also one of the fastest gods out of all seven. He would brag sometimes and it did annoy the others, but he was also a caring one. He would take care of other birds and animals. He would always try to make the others happy if they were upset. He was also funny. He made the others laugh everyday. "But we've been choosing those types, bird brain, and they proven to be pathetic," Avani noted.
Avani was a woman with braided dark purple hair. She had a chest plate on and her waist was wrapped with a leather belt. She had on black leggings as well. She had a sword with a wide blade and a green gem in the middle of the sword's handle. She was goddess of earth. She was a pretty mean person. That's why she was also known as The Unfriendly Amazon. She liked spending time in forests alone. She was the second fastest. She always put things around her in danger. She never liked listening nor taking orders from anyone else. She also believes that she's the best fighter. She called everyone names when she was ticked off. She didn't like to use her element powers a lot like the others. She liked fighting with her skills. She trained a lot for battle and rarely trained with the others. "Stop calling me bird brain!" Gryphon yelled. "I'm not stupid!"
"Yes you are," Avani said.
"You've been pissing me off all day! IS THERE EVER A TIME WHEN YOUR NOT CALLING US NAMES!" Gryphon yelled.
Every time one of the gods was angry, things would happen on Earth. For example, when Slifer is angry, there would be thunder storms on Earth or when Tranquility was angry, there would be tsunamis or tidal waves. Now that Gryphon was angry, there were tornadoes on Earth caused by his anger. "Maybe there is, maybe there isn't. The point is YOU'RE starting to tick me off! I'm trying to help you here!" Avani yelled.
Now there were a few earthquakes on Earth. "You're trying to help! You're making things worse for us! Why I outta—" Gryphon cried when he was stopped.
"ENOUGH YOU TWO! I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOUR FIGHTING! WE'RE TRYING TO PROTECT THIS WORLD, NOT MAKE IT WORSE!" Slifer roared at the top of his lungs.
He opened a hole in the clouds to look at Earth. He could see thunder storms, tornadoes, and hear earthquakes occurring. He closed it and said, "Now Earth is going to be scarred again by our anger. We have to determine whose next."
"I would if Gryphon can just leave me alone!" Avani shouted.
"Leave you alone? I never—" Gryphon cried but he was interrupted again.
"Look you two just need to shut up! We have to do this first. Both of you need to calm down. Especiallyyou Avani," Desdemona said.
"Well what about—" Avani started to say.
Suddenly a large snake made of water wrapped its serpentine body around Avani. It started squeezing her. "If you don't stop, we'll condemn you to Hell," Tranquility said.
"You can't do that!" Avani said.
"Yes we can. Slifer and I have been gods longer than you and the others have, so we are allowed to do things like that. Do you understand!"
"Yes."
"Now, calm down and shut up for the rest of the day."
The water snake let go of Avani. She then sat down and didn't talk. "Now we have to choose," Slifer said. "If we don't decide on whom to have powers, then Earth is already doomed. Any ideas?"
"I think I have one," Tranquility said. "All of the people we choose should be girls for one because there have been more boys than girls. And one of them should be tough, have temper issues, be determined to do things, intelligent, and should be sort of merciless. And another should be… happy a lot, protective, honest, and smart as well but doesn't act like it."
"Well, who has all those traits?" Gryphon asked. "We have thousands of people to choose from."
Slifer once again turned to the clouds. "Show me these female people who are destined to have these powers," he said.
A picture of a young girl appeared. She was maybe four years old. She had dark brown hair and light brown skin. She also had dark brown eyes. Then another picture of a young girl appeared. She had light skin, dark brown hair, but not too dark and brown eyes. She looked five. "Who are these people?" Slifer asked.
The clouds formed the names of the two young girls. "The light skinned one's name is Caitlin and the other one is Melissa," Slifer said.
"So…they must be destined to have the powers," Gryphon said.
"But which elements are they destined to control?" Slifer asked.
Below the names Caitlin and Melissa, the clouds spelled out earth and ice for Caitlin and fire and electricity for Melissa. "Then it shall be them for the first two," he said.
"We might need someone who also has a temper, is also tough, wise, helpful, protective, and intelligent," Desdemona suggested.
The clouds had already changed into another picture of a young girl with dark brown hair that looked like black, brown skin, and matching eyes. She too looked five. "It says her name is Gloria, Slifer. And it says she should get darkness," Tranquility said.
"She'll be another," Slifer said.
"Then the fourth shall be someone…with a temper like the other two, intelligent, sometimes tough, protective, caring, and maybe wise at times as well," Hyozanryu said.
The clouds again changed. Now a young girl with dark brown puffy hair that looked black, brown eyes, and light skin appeared. She looked five as well. "Her name is Ashley and she should get darkness as well," he said.
"Then we need just one more," Slifer said.
"This one should be shy, quiet, intelligent, more of a listener, helpful, and caring," Avani suggested.
The last picture appeared. This time the girl had blonde hair with streaks of brown, blue eyes, and light skin. She looked four. "She should have wind and water," Tranquility said.
"Well thanks for your suggestion Avani," Slifer noted, looking at Avani, then at everyone else. "These five girls should have the powers they're destined to have. But now we must determine who will be a dragon, a vampire, a pirate, a witch, and another vampire."
"It says that Caitlin should be the pirate for she loves pirates, Ashley and Gloria should be vampires since they love vampires, Melissa should be the dragon because she loves dragons, and Jessica should be the witch because she likes witches," Hyozanryu explained.
"Then they shall be what they have been chosen to be. But they must remain in human disguise. We don't want the same things happening," Slifer noted.
"What skills should they master in time?" Desdemona asked.
"Gloria and Ashley shall be masters of darkness and death. Caitlin shall be blade master and master of earth and ice. Jessica shall be master of wind and water and spells. And Melissa shall be master of fire and electricity, and monsters," Gryphon explained.
"Ok. What shall they be experts on?" Slifer asked.
"Ashley and Gloria shall be experts on death, meaning they can determine how somebody died and see what they did before they died. Caitlin should be weapons expert, meaning she can determine what weapon was used in a death or she'll know all weapons. Jessica should be a spell expert, meaning she can determine what spell was used in an area or death. Melissa should be monster expert, meaning she can determine what monster was used in a death or what monster was in a specific area," Desdemona explained.
"Then it's settled. Jessica, Caitlin, Ashley, Gloria, and Melissa shall get their powers when they're ten," Slifer explained. "And hopefully they'll be more successful than the others. If not, we're all doomed."
