There are moments in history which change the fate of everyone in the world. Moments that, no matter how much time passes, will never be forgotten.

This was one of those moments.

Kasai, the Fire god, was fighting with Chikyu, the Earth god. Days passed as the gods endlessly fought. They were unstoppable. Or so it seemed.

Kasai sliced Chikyu's arm off with his great sword, Hono. Chikyu bellowed and the Earth obeyed his command and formed a new arm. He raised his great axe, Ishi. He swung it and Kasai blocked it with Hono. A huge blast of Fire erupted from his raised arm. The Fire engulfed Chikyu, making Kasai smirk. But his joy was short-lived. BAM! Something exploded, and the Fire disappeared. Chikyu walked out, unharmed, his body covered in a shield made out of earth and rock.

Chikyu willed the Earth under Kasai to disappear, causing Kasai to tumble down the hole, but he managed to get back up by propelling himself with Fire. He raised Hono. Chikyu raised Ishi.

And then a huge wave of water crashed onto their heads. Their weapons clattered to the ground far away. Mizu, the Water goddess, descended.

A tornado that appeared out of nowhere picked her right back up and sent her flying into the air and smashing into the ground. An evil laugh echoed around the battleground.

"Kaze! Why did you do that? I was only stopping these two foolish ones from fighting!" Mizu angrily screamed.

"Well I couldn't let you guys have all the fun, now could I? A Wind god needs fun too you know."

"You're sick!"

Kaze laughed again. But he abruptly stopped when a huge pillar of rock and earth crashed into his back. He crumpled to the ground.

"Shut up Kaze." Chikyu responded. "And don't call me foolish Mizu, or I'll blow you up into pieces."

"Well you're probably going to do it anyway." said Mizu. "So take this!"

Water spears crashed into him with so much force that he collapsed. He slowly stood up. Mizu stood her ground. Kasai picked up his sword, which burst into flames. Kaze got up with his ever present annoying grin.

Each one of them charged a beam of their power. The tension in the battleground raised incredibly.  

And then each deity released their power. Fire, Water, Earth and Wind crashed into each other with so much force that the resulting explosion sent each god flying. And then it happened. An ember from the Fire, a drop from the Water, a pebble from the Earth, and a breeze from the Wind fell to the Earth. The ember struck a boy in the heart. The drop fell into another boy's eye. The pebble hit a girl in the head, and the breeze entered a boy's body.

Those were the first four mages. The to be Great Fire Mage, Great Water Mage, Great Earth Mage, and Great Wind Mage.

It was on that day that humanity was both blessed and cursed with magic. Though many used it properly, many more abused the power.

Many years had passed and many bloody wars between the four clans fought. No clan could stand any other one. No attempts for peace were made at all.

But a ray of hope still shone. A little girl was born to two peace loving parents who wanted the wars to stop. When she opened her eyes, two flames were visible in her eyes.

"We will name her Haruna. For the new growth that Spring brings. For the beautiful flowers and delicious fruits. Haruna. Put an end to this war. That is our wish for you, as your father and mother."
