~~story time, Story Time~~

(Torva POV)

It's been a few months since I've started school, and I've noticed that Vita's friends are all extremely powerful. I think I remember flipping their sand timers. As I rush from one class to the next I'm blocked by none other than Roxi, the girl who Anima knocked out.

"Looks like your big sister isn't here to protect you right now, you stupid little girl."

"First, I know more than you ever will. Second, get some better insults. Third, if you thought that that would send me crying, you're wrong. Please move so that I can get to class."

"Urgh, and why should I listen to you?"

"Fine then." the tips of my pigtails turn into giant shadowy hands and pick Roxi up move her down the hall. I run to my history class laughing about the look on her face.

"Today, class, we are learning about the battle of the nine great elements. They were the strongest in their elements, although their names have been erased from history. As you know, there are only six elements, however, this group had one person with the affinity for lightning, we'll get back to him. It's rumored that one of these seven powerful elementals had the element of life and another the element of death, although history is unclear about who had which. Therefore we call them the nine elements. Now, the lightning elementalist decided that he should have the powers of all nine. He decided to accomplish this by killing them all, leading us to suspect that he was in the possession of the Death element. He did at first succeed in killing three of the others, but they somehow returned to life during the final battle and killed the lightning elementalist. Afterwards they said that the Grim Reaper, the anthropomorphic personification of death itself seemed to think it was not their time and let them return to Htrae. They couldn't remember much about Death's appearance, but remembered a Scythe, a black hooded cloak, glowing eyes, and sand timers. They also commented that "Whatever it looked like under that hood, they seemed very familiar." The description provided has created the stereotype of a skeleton with a cloak, a scythe, and sand timers as the Grim Reaper.

"Hey, Vita!"

"Yes Torva?"

"Did you know that people here think I'm some creepy old skeleton in a cape?"

"Yes, Torva, I did."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think it worthwhile."

"Oh, ok. um. I just realised something. If we reincarnated the four most powerful of the elements, that means we had to also reincarnate the lightning guy. And I wouldn't put it past him to already know where they are."

"Oh, crap! You're right! And we don't even know where they are!"

"Actually, we do."

"Really?"

"Really. I'll name them for you. Fire: Ignyx Coal. Water: Lymphia Fisher. Air: Caelum. Earth: Solum. See, we know them."

"Our friends?"

"Unless you think it's someone with the same name."

"How do we tell them?"

"We tell them the truth about you."

(Unknown POV)

They are all so powerful. I need that power for myself. To get that power I must do more than kill them, I must end their souls. I know how too, I just need to find the right hourglasses. Perhaps this one? I grab a version of one, I'll destroy it later. Oh look. This one's mine. I pick it up, and surprisingly it comes. If I take this nothing, save me destroying it and a blow from the Grim Reaper himself can kill me. Not the one with the element of death, only Death himself. Soon I will have the powers of those super powerful elementalists.
