Elemental Haven: Edge of Destruction

Chapter 1: Old Friend

In the city of Nova Haven, where skyscrapers pierced the clouds and ancient magic lingered in the shadows, a mysterious figure emerged. Known only by their alias, "Apex," this enigmatic hero possessed powers that defied explanation. With rumors spreading like wildfire, the people of Nova Haven wondered: who was Apex, and what drove them to defend the city.

A person standing on a skyscraper looking at the city, starts narrating"I am Ann, but people of this city know me as apex, I'm blessed with supernatural powers that only I posses , they think of me as their hero, but they don't know me, they don't know ann, Just apex" narration ends

Alarm rings , Ann turns off the alarm and starts her day

As Ann stepped away from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city lights danced across her face, illuminating the mix of determination and melancholy etched on her features. She shed her contemplative demeanor, embracing the routine that kept her dual identities separate. With a swift motion, she opened a hidden panel in the wall, revealing a sleek, high-tech console. The screen flickered to life, displaying a cryptic message from an unknown sender. Ann's gaze narrowed, her mind racing with the implications. She deleted the message, but the words lingered, echoing in her mind like a warning.After checking the message, she got out of the house for a walk,

"Ann" someone called her, she turned back
"Do we know each other?" Asked ann
"I'm alex, don't you remember me"

"Alex?" She got surprised
"You've changed a lot"

Alex's smile faltered for a moment, his eyes clouding with a mixture of nostalgia and hurt. "It's been a long time, Ann. Ten years, to be exact." He paused, studying her reaction. "We grew up together, went to the same high school. You were...my best friend." Ann's expression softened, memories stirring beneath the surface. She took a step closer, her voice barely above a whisper. "Alex, I...I don't know what to say. I've been...gone for a while." Alex's gaze locked onto hers, intense. "Gone? Or hidden?" He asked, his tone laced with a hint of understanding, as if he knew more about Ann's secret life than he should.

"hidden?" Said ann
"Yeah, are you hiding from me, because of what happened?"said alex

Memories flood Ann's mind "no, it's not that, I've been busy, why don't we talk in my house?"

They both go in the house
After some small talks alex says"Ann, you're my friend, I wanted to share something with you"

"Ofcourse you can share anything with me"

"Do you know about apex and the incident last week?"

Ann shocked, wondering if he realised about her alias

"Yeah, what about her?"
"I was there when it happened, ever since that, I'm not feeling good but what happened this morning is....."he stopped mid sentence..

"What happened alex"asked ann,

Alex looks at the glass of water, and what ann sees is shocking, alex got hydrokenisis

Ann's eyes widened as she stared at the glass of water, now suspended in mid-air, rippling and swirling as if manipulated by an invisible force. Alex's gaze remained fixed on the glass, his expression a mix of concentration and unease. The water droplets began to take shape, forming intricate patterns and symbols, like a cryptic message. Ann's mind reeled, her secret identity as Apex threatened to be exposed. "Alex, how...?" she whispered, her voice trembling. "I don't know," he replied, his voice laced with fear. "It started after the incident. I can feel things, move things. And this morning..." He hesitated, the glass wavering in the air. "This morning, I saw something. A vision. Apex, in danger."

Suddenly, the glass shattered, splashing water everywhere. Alex stumbled backward, his eyes wide with alarm. "What's happening to me, Ann?" he pleaded.

"Apex is in danger" ann scared for a while but she focused that Alex got hydrokenisis from her elemental powers

"Don't worry Alex, Everything going to be alright"said ann"You might not believe it but I'm APEX"
