Born with the Lost Element

the secret is out

Inside the door looked like something out of a book. It was someone's room before it became a temple. In the center of the room a jet black crystal with blue smoke originating from it.

Silf: Alexander what are we looking for. The principal said that you knew what we were getting. He only gave me directions.

Alexander: Oh um that thing I think.

Silf: Well let's just grab it.

An unknown force kept her from touching it.

Silf: What?

Gray: You guys. Come here. Read this.

He had a small book open in his hands. It looked handwritten.

Alexander: What's that?

Gray: I don't know.

Silf: Let me see that.

She took the book and fell into Alexander. The ancient letters seemed to translate once they came in contact with him.

Silf: Ouch.

Gray: Are you two okay?

Alexander: Ya

Gray: Wait let see that notebook.

They handed the book to him.

Gray: I can read it?

Silf: What does it say.

Gray: Only the element of creation and destruction can release my secrets.

Gray: Whomever this person was built complex methods of obtaining stuff here.

Alexander: really

Silf: Hum let's think. Six elements. We need to find one that can meet those two classifications.

Gray: An element like that doesn't exist though.

Alexander's face looked grim. He didn't want to tell them but in this case, he had little choice.

Silf: One has too. Let review the element we have on hand. I could contact Ace he is wind/earth, Your dark, I'm earth, umm .. I don't think I'm on good terms with someone with the fire element. We could ask the town down the hill a little if they have a light or water element . ..... wait, Alexander?

Alexander: Yes?

Silf: What's your element?

At this point, he had no choice.

Alexander: Promise me something.

Silf and gray: Okay?

Alexander: The element that book there is talking about.

Silf: Yes?

Alexander: It's mine.

Silf: Wait, what? But no element exists like that.

Alexander: It was lost from this world.

Silf: I don't believe you prove it. Go pick up that crystal thing.

He stood up. And walked over to the crystal as far as Silf got.

Silf: Go on.

She was astonished at this simple act of taking one step forward and reaching a hand out towards the dark crystal.

Alexander: Do you believe me now?

Silf: How ... what?

He grabbed the crystal and walked back towards them.

Gray: There was that one chapter in the history books that talked about an unknown element and that it was extinct.

Silf: But I did think it was true. How is it possible that...

Silf seemed to be acting a bit uneasy around Alexander because she had no clue what that element he had was capable of.

Footsteps could be herd walked down the entrance of the temple. The horse in fear broke free from its rains and trodden out. The footsteps were coming closer and closer.
