THE ELEMENTAL GUIDE
(As told by Fatima)
The elements are an extremely powerful force. Each element is unique. They all have their own 'special' ability that differs from the others, other than being able to control the element. For instance, the dark and light elements are able to fade into their surroundings and disappear. When they think of a place they want to go, they fade into the area. It just depends on what the lighting is like.
The elements that are used are Light, Water, Dark, Fire, Earth, and Air (wind). There is no 'all powerful' element. They even each other out, like fire spreads with wind and water nourishes the earth.
The original elements were in a lot of trouble in their time. It was the first time Chaos had ever appeared. It attacked all countries and ravaged the nations of their wealth, resources, and people. It was like a plague, a very deadly one at that.
It was then when the six heroes realized their destiny. They were lead by the great prophet of the clan of Elements, my father. The six of them were named Veata, Nitesh, Thuy, Darjan, Allayna, and Hakan.
Each of these great warriors has an interesting tale behind their names but I really don't want to bore you so I will just tell you how the elements meet their guides. My father used to tell me that every single human has a guide deep within himself or herself. Some people call it a soul, but it is quite different.
Everyone has a soul. It is unique; it has its own path and helps a person along their way. Sometimes, well, most of the time, you can't hear it. So, your soul creates an image of animal that most likely represents you and your soul.
The elements have a special power that let's them be able to merge and talk to their sprit guides. That is how the new and old elements received their magic. The elements at the moment have not fully merged with their guides.
As you know, Seto and Serenity both have wolves. A wolf can be represented in two different ways. One: a wolf is a pack member. They are loyal and sing with their friends and loved ones. Serenity is most like this side of the wolf, the lighter side. Second: a wolf can be exiled and can be a loner. They set themselves apart and sing by themselves. They always want to be with a pack, even if they don't even know. That is Seto's half of the wolf, the darker side.
Joey has a tiger. A lion would have worked to if a tiger hadn't sacrificed his life to save Nitesh when a chaos minion was attacking him. The tiger is like the lion and a panther. It is a proud creature and quite famous. It is also a sly and mysterious beast and should not be double-crossed.
Anzu has a dolphin. Dolphins are amazingly intelligent and are usually represented with the qualities of fun, living life, and serene beauty. It matches Anzu's personality perfectly, in my opinion.
Yami's is different from the others he has a mythical beast for a guide. Having a mythical beast is usually associated with having magic of some sort. For instance, Rebecca actually has a pixie for a guide. Yami got a phoenix because it is associated with fire. Hakan 'owned' the first phoenix ever (souls go from one place to another, the cycle never stops. All souls are connected with each other. Hakan and Thuy had a very close relationship just like Yami and Anzu).
Mai got the golden eagle. Gold is such a royal color and is associated with freedom. The eagle is associated with freedom (which I think Mai is always looking for other than friends) and with flight.
All the elements guides are associated with their element.
I will also tell you something else. I think the elements need to balance themselves out, which is why these opposites are attracting each other.
I hope for all our sakes the elements defeat chaos. The prophecy my father made didn't have an ending to it. Hopefully, they can do it. I know they can.
