My name is Alaina Adams. I am the Wind Elemental. I feel like before I begin “the real story,” I should tell you about the Elements. I am sure you know the basics: Wind, Water, Fire, and Earth. Those are the main four. Elementals were made after the Elements to keep balance, but we will get more on that later. Truth is, there are hundreds of Elements all over the world. Actually, I can only name a few: Magnetism, Acid, Mist, Snow, Ice, Time, Space, Plant, and the two grand ones: Creation, and Destruction. You see, at the very beginning, before the earth, and any of the Elements, there was nothing; not even space. Everything was blank. Then somehow, no one actually knows how, an orb appeared. A yellow sphere, about the size of your hand, was created. This was called the Core of creation. We know about this because of our Elements, you see, they speak to us. The Core of Creation had the power to create anything and everything. It created the stars, the planets, and the Earth, where it decided to make its home planet. I know what you're probably thinking, Is this orb alive? The best way to describe it is to think that it is an intelligence. It is smart, but not alive. It's like yourbrain, in a spherical shape. It can move, but can’t protect itself. As you may know, everything needs balance. Destruction was created when the Earth was created. It is like Creation, because it is smart. But its intention has always been opposite of Creation. Although, without Destruction, Creation would keep creating until everything was full, and Creation would overload itself, Destroying itself and everything else. However, Destruction was an Element that wanted to destroy to the point that it was before creation; back to nothing. So it aimed its focus on destroying the Core of Creation. Creation was not something that could defend itself. So it created the four main Elements: Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire. It also created Time and Space. They kept destruction busy. But destruction's influence overtook them. Without the elements’ mind of their own, they had no choice but to obey destruction. So creation created Humans. Because Humans had a mind of their own, creation instructed the elements to give their power to the humans. That way, only by the humans' choice could destruction control. There was peace for a while. Destruction could destroy very little, and didn’t go after the core for a long while. The core created more elements. The minor Elements: Plant, Magnesium, acid, and so on. Nearly three hundred years before my time, destruction found that the space element longed for nothing as well. Because of that want, the Elemental personage for space’s conscience was open. Destruction leaked through. Using Space as a disguise, Destruction confused Fire to help get past security, into the room with the core of creation. Destruction got so close to the core, when the water elemental noticed how strange Space acted. Water, being as observant as they were, knew that destruction had touched space's mind. The other elementals fought space and destruction, and almost lost. The core was in more danger now, and space could never be trusted again. So, the four main elements made locks around the core, and the water elemental, with its power to use the water in the brain to control it, erased almost all information on the locks from the other elementals brains, except for one lock each assigned. Because fire had helped destruction get into the room with the core, fire couldn’t be fully trusted. So, Water gave himself fire’s lock information as well, in case fire ever went to the destruction side. Each elemental only knew a piece of information about the core, for the universe’s sake. Now you know the basics, you'll learn more as you read. Now onto my story. It takes place in 2021.
