Spattered blood, endless fire, destroyed houses, lifeless bodies of warriors, slain mythical beasts, souls in lamentation, wingless fairies, and all things in despair.

Dahil sa isang babae na ang puso'y puno ng galit, nagkagulo ang lahat. Ipinalabas niya ang mga demonyong naka-seal sa isang magical vase na pagmamay-ari ng isang demon catcher. She released the demons to wreak havoc in the city of Andeles, a magical city in Oraphius. Ang gumawa ng mga ito ay si Delpa, isang nilalang na gumagamit ng dark magic. Isang witch.

Isang kaganapang napakahirap lampasan ang hinaharap nina Ferrivo at Elemine, mga taong may taglay na kapangyarihan na tinatawag na element mages. Sila, kasama ang ilan pang mga element mages, ay hirap na hirap na sa laban.

Ang mga element mages ay nagpunta sa magulong lugar na iyon dahil sa utos ng mga diyos at diyosang kanilang pinaglilingkuran.

Nahirapan sila sa pakiglabaan sa mga demonyo dahil sa ang mga ito ay may mga kagamitang panlaban na mula sa Underworld. Iba't ibang klaseng demonyo ang naroon. May nag-aanyong tao, unggoy na may itim na pakpak, at buwaya na may kamay at paa ng tao. Mayroon ring mga demonyong nagkakaroon ng napakamaraming mga kamay. Pinaulanan ng mga ito ang mga element mages ng mga batong umaapoy. Hindi rin naman basta-basta nagpatalo ang mga mages. Lahat sila'y may kanya-kanyang skill or ability aside from their element power kaya't nagamit nila ito sa pakikipaglaban sa mga demonyo.

With all their might, they were able to kill the demons in the end... yes, they were successful but Delpa was nowhere to be found after all the demons were killed.

Matapos ang laban, the fire mages removed all the fire that burned the city. The water mages had also helped during the process while other mages helped in rebuilding the homes of the people of Andeles. Months after the war against demons, peace was brought upon to the city of Andeles.

Sina Ferrivo, Elemine at iba pang mga mages ay bumalik na sa human world--isang lugar kung saan walang mahika.

Sa isang puting kuwarto, dama ni Ferrivo ang malambot na kamay ni Elemine na higpit ang pagkakapit sa kanya. Kitang-kita niya na lubos na nahihirapan ang kanyang asawa na si Elemine. Kita niyang umiiyak ito at napapasigaw sa sakit. "Hon, breathe in, breathe out," pagpapakalma nito sa kanyang asawa.

"Push, misis," wika ng doktor.

Pagkalipas ng ilang ire, a sound ended it all. It was a cry. A cry of a newborn child.

Elemine had given birth to a healthy, young, baby girl. Its eyes were dark brown in color. For a baby, it had very beautiful eyes. Its cheeks were bright pink, glowing in delight. Surely, this child will grow into a fine woman.

Right after the doctor gave the baby to Elemine, tears of joy bursted out from her eyes. Elemine and Ferrivo were so happy to have seen their new born baby.

Ilang oras ang lumipas at ang mag-asawang iyon ay nasa loob ng isang puting kuwarto. Biglang bumukas ang pinto at doon ay nakita ng mag-asawa ang doktor. The doctor walked a few steps and like magic, a streak of white light struck his body. His eyes were now in white color. "Good day, Mr. and Ms. Regalese. I have come to deliver a message from Sir Apollo," said the doctor who seemed to have been possessed by something. The smiles on the couple's faces vanished as they heard his words. They did not seem excited. How could they be happy when Apollo, the oracle god, had sent a message for them? Alam na nila na may mangyayaring masama. Marami na silang nasaksihang mga propesiya. And bad things happened to people in those prophecies.

"That baby girl," the doctor pointed at the child who was sleeping with its beautiful eyes closed. "She will grow into a young beautiful maiden, who will be one of the greatest mages who have ever lived. She has been chosen." He paused for a while and continued, "With her being a great mage, she will stand by another chosen one. One who will possess great power. Together, they will defeat a darkness that will soon rise." The possessed doctor said.

With nothing more to say, its eyes turned back to normal. "Uhm, Ms. Regalese, Is there something wrong?" The doctor asked Elemine. Tears were streaming down her face but she wiped them off immediately. "Uh, I'm fine, doc." The doctor looked at Ferrivo who was trying to calm Elemine down.

Oblivious to what had happened, he didn't mind it that much. "Well, if you say so. Anyway, I just want to congratulate the two of you on you're baby. What was her name again?"

"Kirsten Dri. Kirsten Dri Regalese."

That name she said was the name of the child who will be one of the greatest mages who ever lived. The chosen one.
