Almost done, and then I ran. I had a run up, then i took off. I used smoke travel to travel from the sun back to my den, ready to look up at the sun. I stared into the sun, when it turned from yellow to red, signifying me, Fire. However, something else was also happening in the sky, which made it slightly harder to see my incredible practical joke. The sky was darkening, slowly shading from light blue, to blue, to dark blue, to black. It didn't effect me, Fire, as much as it did when I was in the form of West and Autumn. This was probably because of something or other bluh bluh bluuuuhhhh. As i was doing this scientific explanatory thinking i was receiving a call from Air. There was a smoke screen behind me which showed me that it was Air calling. I answered.
"Hi Fire. Are you there? Has the Darkness come already? Am i too late?" Asked Air.
"Air, hello Air, I'm right in front of you, and i have to break it to you but i think its just a cloud, the sun will come back in a minute."I replied, pretty sure that she was over reacting.
"No Fire Darkness is trying to seize the world and consume everything."
I started clapping,"Well done, that was actually quite believable. But as the aster of tricks, I can tell you that you can stop there with the act, its just a cloud."
"Fire its not." As she said this a cloud moved out from in front of the cloud, and drifted over head until you could no longer see it, I looked at her expectantly, but she looked genuinely confused that is was just a cloud, a really large grey cloud, but just a cloud.
"Fire, Darkness is trying to consume mot of the world which is why you cant see past me. The same thing happened to both Earth and Water. Any way we are meeting at the place, Earth and Water already know."
"Ok, but why am I the last to know?"
"You would not have been if I could have reached you five minutes ago. What in Hell were you doing?"
"I was conducting a very serious experiment."
"Fire?"
"Yes Air?" I knew what was coming, as Air had just looked up, through the screen of smoke, she could still make out a red sun.
"Was that your very serious experiment?"
"I have no idea what are talking about." Even though i obviously knew what she was talking about.
"Ok, let me rephrase that." She cleared her throat. "Why did you turn the sun red?"
"Why did I? How do you know it was me who turned the sun red?"
"Fire, really. I may not have any connections to pop culture and the most recent tricking methods, but having known you 2000 years..."
"Yeh well....so I'm on my way, in about 15 minutes, after I dodge what's about to be thrown my way." I could see Air look up as she then saw the rays being thrown. See, this was the problem with pranking the sun. It always seemed to get mad at me for some reason. Can't an ancient elemental have a bit of fun once in a while any more? I don't think i crossed any line. I was just kidding around. I raced to dodge all of the suns rays. Now you may be thinking that its fire, I don't need to dodge, but currently i cant see the sun which means there is darkness training the rays and second the morning sun stings. I smoke travelled into my cavern and appeared in the back. I thought i would gather a few things as we didn't know what was actually going to happen. Just as I stepped outside my cavern, the sky overhead darkened, but this time with a more sinister feel. I could tell this was not right, and finally understood why we needed a meeting. I stopped and shifted persona. I am less joking when I am not Fire or West, but West has a worse temper. I took off in the autumn wind, as it was easier than smoke travelling when it was dark and cold like this. I stopped in Canada first to 'check' on Air. Ok, I was really lost. I mean, I hadn't been to London in 2000 years. After a few more minutes, I realised I had gone too far West. I back tracked and eventually made it into London. I travelled to Westminster Abbey, and stood in front of the door. I could hear Water screaming, Air trying to calm her down and Earth, well actually I couldn't hear Earth but i knew he was already there. Then I burst the doors open
