Chapter 1: Air
Misty Reynolds was born in London, England on June 4, 1986, to Sky and Brent Reynolds, a couple living in Reynolds Estate. The estate was build by Harold Reynolds in 1900. The family kept the mansion passing it down from generation to generation.
Misty grew up to be a kind and helpful girl. She was eager to help all the maids around, and would always be polite. She never spoke out of turn and was very gentle with animals. Misty liked to read a lot, and loved adventure. She would always be up on a mountain or hill, spreading her arms to feel the wind blowing through her wavy blonde hair. Her large blue eyes, loved to explore and discover new things. Whenever the family had guests, she would always be there, telling them of whatever book she recently read. She loved company.
When Misty turned 10, she started to spend more time outside away from home on a hill. She felt like her body could soar up into the sky. She felt light. Light as a feather or autumn leaf.
One morning,
while eating breakfast in the breakfast nook of their home, Misty
asked her mother a question.
"Mom? Why do I feel this
way?"
"In what way darling?"
"I feel
extremely light. Like if the wind would blow hard, I would get blown
away and become a part of it."
Her mother sat in silence
looking at her daughter. The moment has finally come. She
sighed.
"Misty, have you ever heard of the 4 elements of
nature?"
"Yes, I read about them in one of the books.
There is Air, Fire, Earth, and Water."
"Yes, that is
correct. From the beginning of time, Mother Nature has been the
bearer of the four elements. Many wanted to acquire those elements,
by destroying her. In the early 1400s, Mother Nature called on a
Reynolds ancestor and trusted her with the air element. She
said, "Hold on to this gift. Keep it safe. One day you
will use it to fight off evil." The air element has been
passed down to every first daughter in the Reynolds generation. Our
family name is important, that is why ever since then, all the men
marrying the first born daughter of the Reynolds family, took on the
Reynolds family name. This will go on until the element will be
returned back to Mother Nature. Like me, you are the first born
daughter in this generation, therefore, you are the air."
When Misty turned 14, she was sent to Italy and study in a special academy for the "Gifted." Admission to the academy is extremely discrete. Mother Nature, sends off letters of acceptance without any applications, for she knows who contains what gift.
