It has been 6 years since I started working here, and I've gotten to know my teammates pretty well. I can still remember when we first introduced ourselves. The first one I became acquaintances with was Heavy, an individual who was born under the element of Earth which clearly showed. He was the strongest out of all of us, taking so much damage that it would kill a normal person, but he would shrug it off like it was nothing. Next I met the Scout, born under the Water element he was the fastest, however as I observed him I noticed that he ran faster when he was near a source of water. I then met Pyro, Scout's opposite and born under Fire. He would always be drawn to a flame, sometimes even stepping into one on purpose. Not that it would bother him, due to his element he had the power to be unharmed from fire, whether he was near the source of heat or completely surrounded.

I then met the individuals born under the element of Air, Sniper and Soldier. They had the ability to grow wings, granting them flight. Sniper rarely flew, only flying to a higher point to get a good shot of his target. Soldier, on the other hand, would constantly fly in battle, dive bombing on the other team and firing his rockets at them. I then met the Demoman, another child of the Earth. He wasn't as strong as the Heavy, mostly concentrating his strength to his blade and using it to shield him from his explosives. I finally met the Engineer and the Spy, one of Light and the other of Darkness. Engineer would often put a piece of his Light power into his dispensers offering relief to those who were wounded. The Spy was the complete opposite, using his powers of Darkness to either poison his targets or to hide into their shadows until the right moment to strike.

I on the other hand, am a disgrace to the masters of elements. I am known only by my status as team Medic, and I have been cursed with having the power of two elements. I don't know what it was that gave me both the powers of Light and Darkness, but this has been kept secret ever since I was a child. It is not often that a child is born with two elements, and when they are discovered, they are quickly disposed of. My dear mother knew this, and did everything in her power to ensure my safety. She taught me how to use both my elements for good. However I constantly find myself slipping away at night, when the powers of Darkness are most powerful. I must find a way to balance these powers or else my fate is forever sealed.

Only two individuals know of my curse, the Spy and Ms. Pauling. Ms. Pauling is another child of Darkness, and knew right away about my powers since our first meeting was at night. The others have speculated of my powers when I wasn't careful. Around dawn and dusk my powers would often clash for dominance, I would hear voices from the malevolent spirits that I have encountered in the past. (I believe they were most likely the mercenaries who have fought before myself and my colleagues who realized that their efforts were in vain.) They would try to convince me to kill my teammates to the point were I would shout at them to go away, drawing the attention of those around me. This scenario is exactly how Spy discovered I had both elements of light and darkness.

He had once tried to kill me when I was retiring to my room. He was taught, like all the others, to kill an individuals who possessed more than one element. I managed to survive when I told him of my past and how I often drowned out one element to make it seem that I didn't possess the other. I had also told him about my wish to prove that it was beneficial to have more than one element. He didn't believe me at first, but when he tried a second attempt to assassinate me he made the mistake of attacking me during the day. My powers of light proved stronger against his darkness, showing him that while he had certain weaknesses that hindered his powers, I had the ability to counteract these weaknesses. Spy still does not trust me, even with the information he's gained.

Despite this lack of trust, he has agreed to help keep my secret. I strongly want to prove to the world that I, along with those who were also born with the power of two elements, are not monsters and should not immediately be destroyed. I want to prove that we can help those with weaknesses and to show that we have potential to give strength to our species. However, I feel that if I spoke the truth out loud to those I know, they would do the same as Spy once did. I fear that they would try to assassinate me, and prevent my dream from becoming a reality. So now I am at a cross roads, I can risk my life to help those such as myself, or I could force myself into one element to save my life. The choice is mine and mine alone, but with the possible results that are presented to me, I am hesitant to choose exactly what I want to do. Truly, this is a conflict of a destiny much bigger than my own.

"Yo doc?" Scout asked from the other room, "Are ya coming to dinner?"

Medic slammed his journal closed to hide his secrets, hoping that he didn't see anything.

"Y-yes, I'll be there in a minute." He replied.

Scout went back to the others to join them for dinner. Medic simply sighed and leaned back in his chair, looking around.

"I know you're there Herr Spy..." He said calling out to the darkness.

The Spy walked out of the shadows to talk to the doctor.

"How long do you plan of keeping this secret from the rest of the team?" He asked.

There was a silence as Medic got up to go to the mess hall.

"You can't hide this forever Medic!" Spy called out.

"I know..." Medic whispered to himself.
