Phoenix: The First Element

Fire

6 months ago.

"With the combined effort of our kingdoms, fire, water, earth and air, as Elementals we shall uphold our duty to protect our citizens from harms way. Regarding the virus epidemic in the month of twelve last year, Atesh will provide the aid necessary. This includes three hundred thousand water purifiers and the appropriate materials. I shall now address my fellow people. 

Woga dietka atesh ne shoshi nius fri efas hasta." With the power of fire we shall be reborn from this terrible disease. 

Evie smiled gracefully as the patter of claps could be heard. Being of royalty only added to your responsibilities, languages being one, public speaking another. Her family have power and power brings you status. Their position in the Great Council is high and Evelyn represents them through the public eye. Speaking and engaging are her strong points. So is fighting but that's for another time. 

Stepping down from the podium she heaved a small sigh, bowing her head gracefully. A sign of respect. Smoothing down her white blazer she elegantly made her way to the exit, a place where there are no cameras at least.

"You have another meeting at five before you can take your tablets. We're starting to run out so I ordered another batch. Your brother also wishes to see you."

Annie, personal secretary and friend- a computer. Her brother David having built her at the end of his sixteenth year. Smart kid. 

" Anything else?"

"Only more business requests."

"Eliminating any who will provide me with any political gain, how many are left?"

"One but you won't like it. He's from the South. Even if the partnership is beneficial your father would never allow it. Call it pride, I'd call it stupidity."

"Don't let my father hear that now."

She made a right turn into the drawing room, also known as the library. Thousands of books lined the walls, all hardbacks, facing inwards towards a rather comfy seating area. The circular shape left a domed ceiling decorated personally from Suh. Having friendly connections was always great, especially when that person was almost like a brother to you. He was also in the room, along with her brother and someone of Ollu, the world of death. 

Demons are funny creatures. Their appearances differ from the homosapien like look most of us have. With smooth powder like faces, their porcelain skin and baby blue eyes betray their intent. How ironic; the face of an angel and the heart of a devil. Of course, not all demons like death and destruction. Who would I be to stereotypicalise with the brute of a father and the siren of a mother I have.

My brother is far from those things. If there is one thing I cherish most in my life it is my brother. Whilst I have other half-siblings and this may seem unfair, there is a lot more to the story which binds us together. We've only had each other for the whole twenty five years of my life. His chocolate brown hair and warm dark brown eyes show a likeness with mine with our fair skin and radiant appearances. 

He gestured for me to sit down. I politely made my way to one of the leather couches. 

I made eye contact with Jamie. Tall, blond and the biggest teddy bear you'll find. We've been friends ever since the ripe age of four. Being the same age always helped. Whilst my brother is company enough, his age of twenty eight always made it harder to understand each other.

I smiled at Jamie. I didn't see the harm since it wasn't secret that the Elementals stuck together. Fire, earth, water and air. That is where my two other friends come in, quite literally. Max and Lily make their way into the room.
