Chapter 10
A Choice
"Citizens of Cienzivel city." Most of the population looked up to see a behemoth above the city. "You have been living a lie. This city was founded by wielders of the four elements. Its name means the elements, and yet, none of you know of the true history of this city.
"As the greatest empire, we had everything, except one empire that stood against us, one with magic, magic that could crush our armies easily. The Emperor found out that four children had been born at the same time, and were showing signs of the same magic that the opposing empire had. He took them from their parents and trained them to use their powers to survive, to be weapons.
"When they were old enough, the Emperor sent them to war against the small empire, which they defeated in a battle that took only one day. They were like siblings, and one was gravely injured. They all used the last of their powers to create this island and send peaceful people here, and all but one died.
"I am that one that survived. I am the Demon. I control all of the earth. You have turned this peaceful place into an evil den of brokenness. I will give all of you a choice. Bring me the man who caused this chaos within thirty minutes, and I will spare your lives. If you resist me, I will destroy you before the time is up. If no one is brought forward, I will crush this island and start over. The clock is ticking."
