Prologue
As I stared down the crowd of our enemies, I knew we were outnumbered. "A million to one by the looks of it" is the first thought that runs through my mind. I look to the left and right of me and see the three boys that have always been there for me since this all started.

As I close my eyes, I think back over these past three and a half years. They weren't easy, I can tell you that. Of the four of us, there was barely a month where some type of "scandal" wouldn't happen. It was also emotionally painful, heart wrenching, and friendships were tested. Our lives were ripped apart and have now only stitched together for a little while before the enemies before us could destroy us for good.
My name is Sarvana Mayle. My last name is pronounced May-lee, not mail contrary to popular belief. I would say my name was this, but nobody ever calls me my real name, so this one is still the one.
I was 14 when the changes first begun to appear. My 14th birthday, to be precise. I don't know when, but they were there when I woke up, so in my opinion, the changes occurred overnight.
Three boys and one girl. The four guardians; Water, fire, earth and air. We are thought to be invincible. Out of the hundreds of battles, it's true we had never lost one. It has been close, but we have always won.
I open my eyes again and stare down the field, my mind far away, thinking back to the day that changed our lives forever….
