Prologue:
1487 A.D. Romania
A woman was sitting in her little home waiting for her daughters to come home. While she was waiting, she began to prepare for a very complicated spell. Her daughters had traveled far and wide to get the items she needed and today was the day that everything would fall into place so that she could protect her family and the remnants of her line.
One by one, each of her daughters came in carrying with them a sleeping animal from the four corners of the world. Her oldest was carrying a baby lion from Pakistan, the next was carrying a badger from the New World, the next was carrying a falcon from Southern Africa, and the last had brought a snake from Norway. Each animal represented not only their personality, but also the element that they controlled. A lion for fire, strong-willed and fierce, a badger for earth, stubborn but also nurturing, a falcon for air, free, wild, and uncatchable, and a snake for water, adaptable to any situation that arises and growing with each new experience.
"My darlings, you know what has been happening to four cousins. They are being slaughtered for the sins of our ancestors."
"We know, but what can we do, mama?" The youngest asked.
"There is only one thing we can do. I have seen the future, if we let our line continue then, our descendents will be hunted until all of the elementals are killed. But if you do what I suggest, no more of our people will be martyrs and there will come a new day where through our line, a new set of sisters will be born just like the four of yourselves. They will bring a new age of elementals. Our people will rise again stronger than ever."
"How do you know this?" The oldest asked.
"I have foreseen it. Also, there was prophecy made about those four elementals. But for that to happen, you must do all that I say."
"What is the prophecy?"
The woman sighed but she knew she would get nowhere with her daughters if she didn't show them the prophecy. The rummaged through the trunk that was hidden away inside the wall and pulled out an aged piece of papyrus and began to read the contents:
A tale threaded with time, over thousands of years,
From sea to sea, from shore to shore,
Four daughters secured by a lifetime of tears,
A family tree, cursed straight to the core,
Sisters quadrupled, sisters ensured,
Sisters forgotten, sisters lost,
Sisters forever, sisters endured,
Sisters with fates, entwined and crossed,
A family tree, rot with darkness and light,
A duality engendered by a twisted love,
Scorned was the matron for white
By a dark prince from above,
Born to the pitch and pure
These sisters four will have much to endure,
Should one fall, the rest will follow in kind
Encompassing a sickness of the heart and mind.
There was silence for a few moments before the second oldest spoke up, "What are you planning on doing to preserve the line?"
"Well, every five hundred years or so, in one clan, four daughters are born and each can control one of the elements despite whatever clan they are from. Just like how we are from one of the fire clans, but here the four of you are. Each one different, but no less powerful. You need each other to be stronger, just like nature needs all four elements to be stronger. What happens at this time, to appease our ancestors and to reaffirm our connection to nature, a sacrifice is made to by these four maidens with representation of their elements."
"That's why we need these animals." The youngest said.
"That is correct. Once the sacrifice is complete, these four are the strongest they can be and they travel to the other clans to help hone their skills."
"I still don't understand how doing this ritual will preserve our powers." The second youngest said.
"You know that I am also a powerful witch, I have modified the spell so that the four of your will absorb whatever elemental magic is left in this world."
"Are you saying there will be no more elementals?"
"Besides the four of you, yes. And the power will remain dormant, collecting more strength until four worthy sisters are born. Then our time will come again. And this will happen through one of you."
"If we take in all of that power, won't we be hunted?" The youngest asked feeling scared.
"Yes, and from what I have seen, only one of you will survive. But this must be done for the greater good."
"What if these descendents turn evil though? You read the last line of the prophecy." The oldest asked outraged.
"We must have faith my daughter or else everything I cousins have died for would have been in vain."
"Alright."
"Good, now each of your control your element in your hands and when I tell you to, set it upon your animal."
"What?" The four asked.
"Trust me."
They did as they were bid and saw their elements circling the elements that they brought with them and then it went into the animal. Then there was a burst of power and they all fell into a powerful sleep except for their mother. "It is done." she said to herself. She then kissed each of her daughter's heads but saved her third oldest for last. "You will be the one who survives."
When her daughters awoke, they felt stronger than ever and they were surprised to see the animals still alive. "They are bonded to you now in all things and they will even die, when you do."
She sighed before looking at her daughters again, "By now, everyone in the remaining tribes will know what I have done. They will come for me. You must be gone before that happens."
"We can protect you now, mama." The youngest said.
"No, my darling, you must leave and protect yourselves for as long as you can. I won't see the end of this week and I have come to accept that. Three of you won't survive the year, but one of you will go on and that can only happen if you leave here now."
The four daughters left and within two weeks heard of their mother's demise.
Fifty years later:
Their mother was right, only the third oldest, the wind elemental, Rebekah, had survived. She married a wizard from England who accepted her and hid her secret well. Through him she had many children but she always felt that longing to see her other family once again. She heard that her mother's remains still were marked above their old home in Romania. Now she could go back and see her mother and give her a proper burial.
The area around her old home was abandoned now, everyone fearing being cursed by the powerful witch that once resided there. Her falcon was still alive and followed her everywhere and even helped her with the ritual of burying her mother by alerting her when someone was approaching.
"What are you doing? This place is forbidden!" The royal guard yelled.
"Get Out of Here!" She screamed and with a final burst of energy killed everyone on the street. She lay on the street breathing heavily and her falcon flew down next to her. It looked weak too. "I will see you soon, my friend." she said, petting the falcon one last time before closing her eyes and succumbing to death.
April 19, 1945:
A young woman of eighteen years old, woke up gasping in her bed waking the young man lying next to her. "Anna, are you alright?" he asked kissing her bare shoulder.
"I'm fine it was just a dream. A very vivid dream."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"No. But I don't think I can fall back asleep."
"Well I can think of something we can do that doesn't require any sleep."
"Really? And what might that be, Tom?" She asked with a smirk that matched his own.
He kissed her sweetly and layed her back down on the bed before crawling on top of her. When they finished rediscovering each others' bodies, Tom was so exhausted that he fell back asleep, but Arianna's, or Anna as some people liked to call her, thoughts would not let her find any rest. She decided to talk to her uncle Albus the next morning and tell him about the dream she had about the four sisters and what that meant for her. She knew that it was a vision but she didn't know why it showed itself to her.
