The Six Elements

Long, long ago back in the times where there were unicorns and dragons, the world known as Hoshi was in the darkest of times. The great Lord Yoru cast Hoshi into darkness for all eternity. Then from out of the shadows the elements of Wind, Fire, Water, Electricity, Earth and Ice appeared to face Lord Yoru to defeat him. But he was too powerful for the 6 elements. The elements had only one choice and that was to use their powers to seal him away for until they were able to defeat him.

            After they had sealed Lord Yoru away, the elements became weak and needed help on living. They had to posses a human body to live on till the time they met with Lord Yoru again. They each choose a different child and the children grew up normally with the elements inside them. The children grew up with the mark of the element on their wrist.  (This is what is looked like.) So after many years the children grew and lived out their lives normally. And so the story begins…

Chapter One: The Journey Begins

In the little village of Kaze lived a young girl around the age of 18 named Sabrina. Sabrina was a high-spirited girl with lots of energy. She had long blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. She had many friends and everyone loved her. Well maybe not everyone. Her mother was a drunk and never seemed to like Sabrina at all. She beat Sabrina for making small mistakes and leaving her with no food. Sabrina made sure that one day, she'd leave and go somewhere else away from her abusive mother.

On a bright sunny day Sabrina was out plowing the fields when one of her friends called to her.

"Hey Sabrina come and show us some of that archery of yours!" The kid yelled from a far.

Sabrina smiled as she stopped plowing and looked at him and replied, " Alright let me finish up here and I'll come in a minute."

"Ok!" The kid yelled as he ran back to the others.

             Sabrina was a master archer. People never understood how she was able to be such a good archer. She basically taught herself. She could always hit the mark no matter where she was. The children loved to see her when she practiced. Archery to Sabrina was the best thing ever. It took her mind off of other things that were happening around her.

            When Sabrina was finally finished plowing the garden, she rushed over to grab her bow and arrows. She then dashed off into a forest looking for the kid who had called her. Finally after a few minutes of searching she finally spotted them all and she dashed off toward them. When the kids saw her they all ran up to her jumping up and down asking if she show them how to use a bow and arrow or they were asking if she could do some tricks or something. The kids loved her and always made a good target for Sabrina to aim at. One time she hit an apple off the top of a kid's head and everyone loved it. While they were playing they didn't realize that in the distance there was a demon watching them. It crept thru the trees silently. No one noticed he was there.

Then suddenly from out of nowhere the demon leapt from it's hiding spot and dashed over at Sabrina at full speed. Sabrina, startled, wasn't able to move completely out of the way and the demon cut her arm as it ran by. Sabrina hurried and quickly grabbed her bow and arrow as she put an arrow in the quiver and took aim. The demon turned around and headed back at Sabrina out to kill her. Sabrina pulled back on the arrow more and took careful aim. When she had the demon in her sight she let loose the arrow and it flew like the wind into the demons head. The symbol on Sabrina's wrist began glow as Sabrina used a finishing move on the demon by using the power of wind to blow it away.

Sabrina looked at her hand shocked not knowing what she just did. The symbol then dwindled by to it's normal self. Sabrina looked at it in astonishment. All the kids ran up to her with shocked faces. They didn't know what had happened either. When all of a sudden one blurted out the word witch. All the other children's eyes widen in disbelief as they all ran back to the village as they yelled witch. Their parents came out with weapons in defeating the witch they spoke of. Sabrina didn't know how to react. She knew she wasn't a witch but now she was being accused of being one. She did the first thing that came to mind. She ran. She ran deep with in the forest until she couldn't run any more. She stood there trying to catch her breath as she looked back at the direction she came from.

Sabrina was somewhat happy that she did leave the village, but in some ways she was scared since that was the only place she ever knew. She just let out a sigh as she walked off. After a while off walking she came up to a small lake. She found a near by tree stump and took a seat upon it. The she heard some thing behind her. Something rustling in the bushes. Sabrina grabbed her bow and arrows as she cocked the arrow and took aim at the bush. Then all of a sudden a small rabbit appeared from the bush. Sabrina but down her bow and arrow, as she was relieved to see it was just a rabbit. Then she heard something behind her once again.

" Ahh…So here is where the wind element is ehh…" said a lil old man.

            Sabrina turned and looked at the man confused.

"Wind element? You must be mistaken? I'm not an element," Sabrina replied still looking at the old man confused.

"Ahh…it is not me who is mistaken it is you," he said as he went and took hold of her wrist, and turned it so that the marking showed, "See you have the mark of the element on your wrist, and from your energy I can tell you're the element of wind."

Sabrina looked down at the mark.

"So this is the element mark? But I thought that was only a legend about the 6 elements?" Sabrina said still confused.

"Ahh…but isn't a legend. Those old stories are true and you are one of the 6 elements and now it is now your job to find the others. You must now find the elements Fire, Water, Electricity, Earth, and Ice. You must find them. For evil is getting stronger. And only all 6 of you can defeat it," the old man said letting go of her wrist as he stood there with his long staff.

"How am I suppose to find all of them? I mean where are they? Kagami is so big. I won't be able to find them that fast," Sabrina said worriedly.

"Don't worry. You'll be fine. Just go Northwest to the village of Hi. There you should find another element," said the old man, "Here take this to make your journey easier."

The old man held out a bag that was full of food and water, also a huge bag of gold and camping supplies. Sabrina smiled as she took the stuff as she threw it over her shoulder and hanged on to the strap.

"Thank you this should help a lot," Sabrina said as she smiled at the old man, "But wait who are you?"

"That you will know later in your journey, but until then you must go and find the others," the old man said as he took a step back away from her and then he just then faded away.

Sabrina eyes widen at what she saw. She blinked a few times as she then went and looked at the compass that was in the bag and saw it point northwest. So then she went on. She walked on and on for a few days when she came across a river. Sabrina stood at the edge of the river as she wondered how she was going to get across it. She looked around to see if maybe there was anywhere where she could find a boat to cross the river, as she then finally spotted a small hut. She then ran to it.  When she got to the hut, she peered through the small window as she looked around. She then spotted someone inside sitting in a chair leaning back against the wall as he had a small hat covering his eyes.

Sabrina went to the door and knocked some, hoping to get the man's attention but with her luck he didn't make any movement whatsoever. She sighed as she walked in the hut and over to the sleeping man. She then leaned down and looked the man in the face.

"Umm…Hello…" Sabrina started to say as she stood over the man still.

The man then started to stir some as he slowly opened his eyes slightly and then his eyes widen as he yelled out loudly and fell off the chair as he saw Sabrina. Sabrina backed away and covered her ears trying to drown out his yelling. The man finally after a few moments stopped yelling realizing it was only a young girl. He then took a few breaths as he took hold of his chest as he thought he almost had a heart attack. Sabrina unplugged her ears and looked at the man.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

The man stood up and brushed him self off and stood up straight.

"Yeah I'm fine. But you shouldn't off startled me like that," he said in a somewhat angry tone.

"Oh…Well I'm sorry it's just I was wondering if you knew how I could get across this river. I'm trying to make my way to Hi," Sabrina explained to him.

"Oh…Hi you say," the man said, "Hi is a good village to go to. Lot's of nice folks there."

"Yeah well that's nice but I need a way to get across the river to get to Hi," Sabrina said trying to keep him on the task at hand.

"Oh yeah. Well shoot I can take you across the river. I have a boat that we can use. But it's gonna cost ya," the man said with a smile of greed on his face.

Sabrina rolled her eyes as she reached into her bag and pulled out some gold coins for him. The man's face seemed to start to glow as he saw the gold and took the gold coins in his hands. He then nodded to himself as he pocketed the coins and looked at Sabrina.

"Okay I'll take you across let's go," he said as he then started to walk out.

Sabrina then followed him outside to his boat. The man gestured Sabrina into the boat, and with that she got in and took a seat. Then she looked at the man and he had an evil grin on his face as he took his foot and shoved the boat out in the river. Sabrina was stuck in the boat without an oar and heading down the river fast, and she didn't know how she would make it to the other side. Then a thought hit her. She then put her hand into the water and concentrated.

"Come on work," she said to herself as she closed her eyes trying to get the wind to come, "WORK!"

Then the symbol began to glow again as it did the day of the demon, and a gust of strong wind started to blow in the water and it pushed her to the other side. Once she got to the other side, she hurried and got out of the boat. She took a breath as she then looked at her hand. She sighed as she put her hand down and grabbed her compass and saw it point northwest again. So from there, she began to walk again to Hi. After a few days she spotted smoke in the air from over a hill. Once she saw that she smiled widely as she ran to the top of the hill. Once she got there she let out a squeal of joy. What she saw was the village of Hi. She then ran to the village and knew that she would find one of the other elements.
