A/N: The most brilliant idea has just struck me in the head like a rocket! I don't believe it! I now have two full length stories going at once so be patient for updates on both. Wish me luck!

Eons and Eons ago, the world was not but mist and sea. No shape held it in place as it traveled the dark, distant, and cold universe, searching for what all of creation searches for, even today.
Purpose.
And as it traveled, it became bored. So it created shape. And Dashi, the first water sprite. And in the mist and winds of travel formed Nariko, the first wind sprite. And they traveled and found companionship in each other, yet no more. They became bored and the seas and mists once again sorrowed and wondered.
One day, or however time was kept way back when, Dashi and Nariko found a place of solid stone and another of screaming fire. And on the stone were two sprites of earth and stone, Monk Guan and Liang. And in the fires raged two sprites of fire, Chase and Kai. Dashi longed for Liang with all his heart as Nariko longed for Kai with all her heart. And they spoke for many, many days. Soon, it was not enough. Liang separated from Guan and went to Dashi and Nariko separated from Dashi and went to Kai.
Perhaps it was years that went by, no one knows, but Guan began to long for his sister sprite as Dashi began to long for his in Nariko. Soon, they all came together and formed the Earth, one of the most beautiful creations in all of the lonely universe.
Earth for billions of years prospered with life, guarded by the sprites. Many other sprites formed with Earth's creation.
Lava sprites, Cloud sprites, Flower sprites, Grass sprites, Tree sprites, Animal sprites, Fish sprites, Bird sprites, Bug sprites, Soil sprites, and so on and so on.
But one day...
Man was born into the world...
Two women looking of Asian descent ran through the woods with as much speed as they could muster. Their bones screamed as they forced their instincts to the forefront as the sound of motors and yells echoed in the close area.
As they ran, the slimmer of the two shouted and as if by magic, the Earth opened up and swallowed the women into itself.
They finally stopped and waited as they sat on the ground and tended to the cloth sacks on their backs as they wailed with hunger.
"Hush, little Omi," soothed the woman who had opened the Earth, "It's alright now."
The more buxom woman folded down her shirt so that her breast showed and her child quickly latched on.
"That's it, Kimiko, drink."
Liang and Nariko suddenly silenced as they heard voices and motors go over them.
"What a turn of events," lamented Nariko as her child released her as she curled into her bosom. "Giving them to the hairless apes."
"Don't insult the apes," corrected Liang as she rocked her child for the last time. "They are good creatures. Man on the other hand..."
Nariko sighed and stood up, offering her free hand to her friend after putting up her hood.
"Are you ready?" she asked tearfully at the thought of losing her child.
"Neither of us are," answered Liang, with strong composure, as an Earth sprite, "That's not the question. There is no question. Only an objective."
Nariko nodded and held her breath as the earth opened before them.
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

A wonder no one ever guessed man...
A/N: So, this basically a myth form of my Xaiolin Showdown Fandom.
Sprites were the first soulful creatures and basically formed all order in the Universe.
Nariko has borne a child by Kai and Liang had borne a child by Dashi. Omi and Kimiko.
They are being given to the Human world for a reason, but what?
Next time!
With Loves
