A/N PLEASE READ!!! 

Before my new story starts I just wanted to give a heads up. Only this chapter is in third person the next chapter won't be! I don't want anyone copying my story even though most likely no one won't and this is not a copy from avatar the last air bender it's just an idea I got from there. Please give it a chance and tell me what you think. Also this cover is just for now. The original picture is not my own and I hope to get one that is suitable for my story in the future. The picture is by johnnygreek989 on devianart! so all credits go to him! check out his work. Thank you.

Prologue:

Thunder clapped over her head in a thunderous roar. Lightning moved in the sky like electric eels illuminating her muddy path. Bullets made out of fresh water came pelting down from the gods above. I could smell the damp grass and fresh rain filling my nose and hear the birds wings flapping frantically.

Puffs of cold air formed from every ragged breath she took. She needed to get home. Oh how satisfying the word home felt like. She would do anything for a nice fire and warmth. If the story of Prometheus stealing fire from the gods was true she would go to him, help him escape from his punishment bestowed upon by the gods, some how re-stow the innards pecked by the birds, bow down and kiss his feet.

She ran through the muddy forest as the wind whipped at her face, the branches of trees like claws reaching out to her. Her wet hair clung to her face like glue as she wiped her eyes to see through the water droplets pouring down from the clouds above.

She shrieked as she slipped her footing and went tumbling down a massive hill. Rolling and tumbling through big masses of rain and mud was absolute torture. She finally stopped and laid sprawled across the ground in pain. Groaning she got up and looked across her blurry surroundings before looking down at her muddy feet.

There half buried in the dirt stood a unusual looking chest. She heft it out with her hands surprised it was light and with the sleeve of her hoodie she wiped the mud off. She could faintly make out various designs but the heavy rain made it to hard to see. When she got home she promised she would look at it.

Making her way back on track she staggered her way home thankful that the storm was starting to retreat as if it had lost a battle. She could never have been more relieved to see the front porch of her humble house greeting her tired battered eyes. She fished around her pocket and came out with a house key, opening the door and rubbing her muddy feet on the mat.

She went to her room thankful no one was home and placed the strange box on her table before making her way to her bathroom for a long hot shower.

As soon as her glorious shower was finished and had attended to her cuts and bruises she raced to her room with a rag to see how the chest looked like. It was still muddy so with the rag she wiped it until it was sparkling clean. It was black with various lines of white going all over it. There was a lid but no lock to open or nails to indicate it can open. It was like one whole box with a lid shaped thing connected to it.. How strange. She turned it around realizing she was looking at the back.

At the front were more lines except four strange symbols were drawn surrounded by a circle and joining to the lines. The first symbol was a line with two lines short connected at the bottom and the other three symbols were similar in looks. She moved the box closer to her eyes and noticed a black smudge of dirt on the first symbol.

With her thumb she wiped it off and gasped, staggering back. The white symbol illuminated gold before the lines connected to it started to turn Into a rich gold while the other symbols and lines stayed white. She gathered back her confidence and wondered.

With her thumb she quickly tapped the last three remaining symbols. Like before they turned gold before the white lines did as well. The whole box was now black and gold.

A slow whirring sound coming from within. Suddenly like a projection, the four symbols appeared on top of the box in a circle shape before joining together making one big symbol. An outline around the lid of the chest magically appeared turning bright gold. The box flung open and a bright white light illuminated from Inside.

Somewhere in another place unseen to mortals are young man clasped his head in pain falling to his knees. Groaning in pain he whispered out, "The Zenonion chest has been opened, the wielder of all four elements has finally been found."
