To Protect

What walks on eight legs until it’s one weeks old, four legs until it’s 16 years old, and then two legs for the remainder of its life?

Unlike what most people think, they weren’t conceived. They were created. Their existence started by the fusion of two compatible elements that formed to manifest a human being.

Supra was born first. Solar had found out in his researches that when two elements fused together, they can create a human being who will have the power of both of the parent elements. Solar wanted to test it, but it was risky since there’s a possibility for their powers to become depleted.

So, naturally, Hali volunteered. This elemental surely has some serious suicidal tendencies.

Gempa was hesitant to let them continue on with the experiment, but he can’t say no to Solar’s pleading face. So he let them be, under his watchful eye.

To his relief, the two were able to get a successful result, and a fusion was born.

Supra started out as a plasma energy, a circling ball of red and gold (is this Gryffindor?). After 24 hours, the ball of energy started to form body parts, which, after a week, will flesh out to human skin as a small baby.

Their growth isn’t normal either. Supra aged from one to sixteen in a month. His age matched the age of his parents when he was created, and from what Solar can deduce, Supra will age at the same pace as his parents.

But that doesn’t mean that Solar and Hali are a couple though. They just did what they think was the best way to protect the others. And they both understood that.

Gempa watched as Supra grew and trained with his parents on his powers. He marvelled at how powerful a fusion child can be, and wished to have one of his own. He longed for a child that he can actually call his own, someone that he will protect with all his life.

“You thinking about Supra?”

Gempa blinked and found himself looking at the icy blue eyes of his chi- I mean teammate.

“Ice?”

The ice elemental’s face twitched to form a small smile. “Hey Gem.”

“How did you know I was thinking about Supra?” Gempa asked in curiosity.

Ice adopted a deadpan look on his face. “You were looking so intensely at the legend trio. I don’t know if you want to kill Supra or you want to have him as your own.”

“I…” Gempa faltered, looking towards the direction where Supra was training in swordfighting with both of his parents. “I guess I was jealous. I’ve longed for a child that I can actually call my own.”

Ice studied the earth elemental in front of him. “Then why don’t you follow their lead? Make a fusion of your own with someone here?”

“I don’t know who to go to,” Gempa said softly. “I grew up reaching out to protect others. I am not used to seeking something for myself.”

Oh Gempa, Ice thought as he stared, mesmerized into the earth elemental’s golden yellow eyes. “You could always ask me,” he said softly.

Gempa looked at the icy blue orbs and found himself lost in the depth of the eyes of the ice elemental. “Ice, I would, but only if you want to.”

Anything to pay you back, Gempa. “Of course, I want to,” Ice replied.

“But Blaze…”
