Prologue
Centuries had passed. Seasons changed a thousand times now, but no one can still give a definite answer for what we are exactly or why are we like this; different from other people, if there are any other people alive outside our country.
Ezmer is my country's name. And it's beyond normal. It is divided into six districts namely – Erda - North, Argon - East, Unda - South, Ventus – West and between Unda and Ventus is Sapius and on the centre part of the country is its capital; Kentron. Each district have powers of nature – Earth, Fire, Water and Wind respectively for the first four districts, great intellect for Sapius and Special abilities that do not fall under the five districts belong to Kentron.
Powers. That makes us extraordinary.
Though my district, Sapius, is blessed with great intellect we still can't give a precise explanation for our powers and abilities. Kentron prohibited Sapius long time ago from further studies with regard to our powers. The other districts agreed and thought that it would be best for everyone to just leave everything as it is. Consider it as gifts from high above. Surely there is a scientific explanation from all of it, but what can a small, poor district can do besides nodding at the wealthiest and most powerful district in the country? As long as they keep sending crumbs from their wealth we can do nothing but obey. We need them to survive. Without them, Sapius will be just a wrecked district with its people dying from starvation.
In order to keep the people out from their curiosity, Sapius made a fake legend of how everything came into being. How the country was divided, how the leaders were chosen, why the districts were named like that and even why our district doesn't have supernatural power. Of course, the legend made sure that Ezmer had a happy ending and Kentron being a happy, gifted, in all aspect place. The legend was passed down from generations to generations. The districts believed everything about it and never questioned a thing about the legend. Actually they loved it. They were fooled. Well, they are still fools. Even Sapius is a fool for creating such a smart legend.
Over the years Sages – the district people of Sapius, grew to live with the fact that we cannot do anything but to agree and ride with the fake legend. Besides, troubling ourselves from finding answers will neither keep us from starving nor getting rich.
