After one of Zuo Ci's spells go wrong, the Dynasty Warriors are gifted with the force of the elements. With their new power, will they bring chaos, peace, destruction, or can they be saved in time?
Where Time Leads
I had this idea while I was typing one of my other fanfics. Hope it is interesting. I'll continue whichever depending on the reviews. Thanks for reading. Since I am going to use third person view, the chapter will switch P.O.V. every chapter from Wu to Wei to Shu. It was the only way I could think of. Plans might be subjected to change. One thing is for sure, there will be tragedy.

Chapter 1: A Big Mistake
"Unifying the land will be a challenge," the wizard Zuo Ci, said to himself. The land of China still was not in peace. For many years, the land has been split among various rulers hoping to unify it. "Liu Bei does seem like he is capable, but there is still something wrong. Sun Jian is out of the question. Cao Cao, on the other hand, can become a decent emperor."
It was night and still the spell to help show him who will be worthy enough to rule was not working. Two urns, boiling with a glowing yellow liquid, his sutras, and the right incantation were all the things that he needed. The talismans circled around him as he chanted the spell.
"Lu shin zao zen, lu shin zao zen…" the wizard chanted over and over. His sutras spun around him at an even faster rate, becoming too hard to see.
"Lu Shin Zao Zen!" he said one last time before he looked into the sky. Dark clouds were supposed to appear and plunge the land into darkness, but nothing happened. Not paying attention to his sutras, they still circled around him, each of them emanating a different colored glow.
He barely realized what was going on, but he was too late. He motioned for his sutras to return back to his hand, but they didn't. "Stop!" he commanded his sutras. They stopped, but still glowed.
"This is not right," he said frightened. "Not good, not good at all." Zuo Ci shivered as thought of the wrong spell being cast. Changing one property of it changes it all. He couldn't end it now, not without the right components. He would just have to let the spell take its effect and fix it from there.
Th ground rumbled as one of the sutras let out its glowing light. The rest did the same. Clouds formed in the sky and brought rain down onto the land. The urns with the yellow liquid started to boil, as a great gust of wind blew.
"A storm?" He never had a spell with this effect. The ground shaking, the urns boiling, the wind blowing, and rain dropping; why were all of these happening? "This must be the spell."
He grabbed his sutras and disappeared from the cliff he was on. The glowing lights scattered throughout the land, leaving ruins in their wake. In a group, they headed toward the kingdoms of Wu, Wei, and Shu. They flew through houses and palaces, leaving inhabitants screaming while others just died that instant. They victimized the palaces of the three kingdoms before laying more waste in villages close by. Zuo Ci floated in the sky, his sutras acting as hovers.
"On, no. Not this." He quickly descended and started thinking about the perfect counter spell. Hoping that the one he thought of would solve his problem, the wizard started the incantation.
"Tan ji yu sen," he repeated over while gesturing his hands in a particular fashion. One by one, the glowing balls of light, gathered around him. He held out his hand, and they joined together in his palm.
"Tan Ji Yu Sen, Ha!" He closed his palm, crushing the light. It slowly dimmed and then stopped glowing. He opened his hand and saw nothing. The storm and earthquakes slowly came to a stop. Relieved, he grabbed his sutras before disappearing again.
"I just hope nothing happened."
