Southern India 650 CE
Deep in the wilderness of southern India lay a village incredibly isolated from the greater world. They held the last ancient text of a civilization whose people once flew through the skies. They were once a nomadic race until a great catastrophe forced them to settle down. An almost extinct race that gifted with their blood a great power. The power to manipulate wind to do their bidding, the ability to laugh at gravity as their ancestors once did.
But now this unnamed village of air elementals is burning to the ground.
Screams echoed through the village as its inhabitants were torn to shreds by horrible monsters. Beast of many colors and shapes had invaded the small village. Many resembled mixes of earth animals, but their bright colors were completely unnatural, and their strength far beyond that of any animal. What all these unnatural beast shares were shining gems embedded in to their bodies.
In this little village, a small girl maybe only about 3 years old was running as far as she could, in her small arms sat the scrolls her people had protected since before the goddesses of light arrived from beyond their star. She was above average in size at 4 feet in height. She had long dark brown hair reaching to below her back,bright silver eyes, and medium brown skin characteristic of her people. She was running as far as she could before she stumbled upon a horrible sight.
"Mama, papa?" The little girl cried out.
There a few feet in front of store her parents, both were heavily bloodied but alive. The man was fairly short standing at about 5'3 with light brown skin and hair, and chocolate brown eyes. Her mother stood in front of him, and was far taller than him standing at just over 8 feet tall and looked like a larger and older version of her daughter. The mother turned slightly toward her daughters direction, and her eyes widened. "Kali." The mother whispered in panic.
Booming sounds began to be heard as something large came from the direction her parents were originally facing. From the smoke of the burning village, something monstrous emerged from it. A beast with dozens of extra limbs appeared, it's wails filled with unimaginable pain and sorrow. It looked as if dozens of bodies were melded together, and in its chest laid a massive gem comprised of hundreds of shards. It stood at well over 100 Meters in height, and over 400 Meters in length, dwarfing most of the villages small buildings. Black wires connected to its gem and spread throughout its body, glowed with red electricity throughout. The beast emitted a wave of raw malice and evil unlike anything the little girl had ever felt before.
"KALI RUN! her parents screamed as the beast barreled toward them at a speed inconceivable for a monster of its size. One of its limbs resembling a massive metal tube, glowed with red energy.
A massive "BBOOOM!" was heard as massive blast engulfed her parents and came close to engulfing her until a thin figure at the last moment grabbed the child and managed to avoid the explosion that followed
As the girl opened her eyes she saw the full extent of the thing's attack. Where her village once stood, now only a triangle crater remained as the directed blast bore through the village like a drill. She saw as the beast's form glowed and a pair of wings replaced one its larger limbs. But before the living weapon could chase after them, dozens of glowing arrows burst straight through the beast gem and the ominous black wires entrapping it.
A massive "POOOF!" was heard as it's physical form dissipated and the monster was no more. The other monsters were quickly subdued in the same way as they shared the same black wires as the massive pack leader.
Gravity began to affect them again and the little girl screamed. However the figure that saved her landed on her feet despite jumping well over a 100 Meters into the air. The figure covered in a white cloak put the little girl down.
"Who are you" the little girl asked in wonder and amazement at the figure who saved her from death. The figure turned to face the little girl, and removed her cloak. The women was a strange looking person, her skin was an unnatural shade of bright pink, and stood at about 9 feet tall. Her hair was in a gravity defying star shape, her hair was a dark black, with dull pink highlights. She had strangely shaped pupils and looked somewhat emaciated.
"I am Pink—" the women was ready to answer her before she was interrupted by another two women and a two massive cloaked appearing before the two.
"Hey Pink!" an short orange women with a square shaped head and body yelled out and a gem on the left side of her her another women, fairly thin and tall at about 6'10 trailed behind her. She had grey colored skin and wore all black, a black gem was embedded in her forehead,her right hand held a glowing bow and arrow, practically steaming. Around the woman's body was a blue aura, almost a shield forming around her body.
The women who saved the girl sighed. "Uhh Hey Orange Topaz." The exasperated women responded. The confused little girl watched as the the women she only knew as "Pink" conversed and whispered together with the four new arrivals. The little girl quickly had enough of all the question and wished to know more.
"Who the heck are you people!?" The little girl screeched at her mysterious saviors.
A new voice decided to answer the little girls question. One of the giant cloaked ones who looked decidedly serpentine under the cloak had decided to answer.
"The women who saved you is Pink of course,the orange midget is Orange Topaz, this biotic goddess here is Onyx, I'm Nephrite, and this mutt here is Strawberry Quartz." a chittering and somewhat broken voice was heard from the cloaked serpentine figure.
"Why do you two hide your appearance, the rest except Pink didn't? the curious girl asked. The two cloaked figures hesitated at the question. The two huddled and whispered things the girl could not hear. "Perhaps she is the one?" The serpent whispered to the other figure.
The serpent like figure and her friend turned to face the girl.
"This is why." Nephrite answered.
As their cloaks fell, the little girl was paralyzed with fear at their appearance. Nephrite resembled some horrifying mix between a centipede and a beetle, she had a long mane like hair, as well as a gem eye inside her beak, with many gem shaped bumps along her long body, with many different shades of green. Strawberry however resembled a mix between a dog,a bear, and a gorilla, and a quartz gem on her chest. She was colored with various different pinks and reds throughout her animal like body and stood on her hind limbs.
The little girl didn't know what to do, as the two resembled the monsters that had destroyed her home and killed her people. But they had helped save her didn't they. It took her several minutes to come to a decision that would one day change the world.
"You're not like those monsters at all,so why should I be afraid." The girl to the shock of the ragtag group accepted their companions monstrous appearance.
"You truly mean that don't you. The Nephrite spoke with awe in her voice.
"We should keep her." Topaz chose to ruin the moment in that instant.
"She's not a pet you know." Onyx chided The Topaz and within moments both began to argue with each other.
"Enough!" Pink yelled as she broke up the two gems arguments.
The pink women turned to the girl she had saved.
"Do you wish to come with us little one?" The gem leader asked.
The little girl breathed in.
"Yes." The girl answered with conviction in her tiny voice.
The women smiled.
"So what's your name little airbender?" The now openly grinning women asked.
"My name is Kali."
The girl looked at the women's diamond shaped pupils.
"Kali Maheswaran."
