The 8th Element

Warm yet Cold

It's sunset. The moon starting to taking the sun's throne. Concurring the land with darkness and starry skies. A figure was sitting on the edge of a cliff. Under it is a wild sea with waves. His blank icy eyes stare at the clouds. It is only him and silence.

"Cold....." said the second tier of water manipulator. He clench his jacket and hug himself tightly. Trying to at least decrease the freezing sensation he felt. He is ice manipulator himself, yet he felt freezing to dead. The cold shouldn't have bothered him. Every single seconds, he suffered the cold within him. Even if he wore double of his winter jacket, drinking hot liquids nor taking shower with the same heat that Blaze used. None of it able to remove the cold.

"Why....... Why does I can't feel anymore warm?! I can't stand being this freezed inside!!!" he scream in agony. How he suffered this whole time. He's alive, but he felt like he is just a moving dead body. Like his heart and soul were froze by his own power. He hate it. He really hate it. He just want to be with the element that are not with them. If he allowed to, he surely already hug the lifeless body that they concealed all this time. Just to make sure that none in this world can leave a scratch on their precious brother.

A sob escape from his lips. There's a trail of dried tears on his face and his eyes were visibly red. You can tell that he already broke plenty of time. He just don't care. All in his mind now is Thunderstorm and Thunderstorm only. Not many knew that he always slept with the serious element. He will go to his room and jump into his bed. Of course he got few earful, but it end up with him happily in the lightning element's hug. Warm and firm. As there's nothing can hurt him. Not even a tiny dust. He miss that hug. He would do just anything to feel Thunderstorm's warm.

Including defying the world's flow. He just want this chilling feeling disappear. Only Thunderstorm can do it. And he is willing to face the world's warth for it. It's worth to sacrifice his energy......

"Even his own life and siblings.........."

The place where the ice manipulator once seated is now cold. As he retrieve to the fortress. A purple butterfly appeare. One by one as it start making a massive ball of it. Slowly, the butterflies separate and a figure is standing right in the middle of the group. He reach out for a butterfly and it land softly on his palm. Not so long later, blue consume the purple and cold aura come from the butterfly. It take off to the sea and explode. The glitters then shower the sea below. Freezing the water before another wave come and break it. Returning to before as it didn't froze at all.

The figure stare at the bright full moon. The butterflies fly up as they were commanded to. Circling the moon and explode like a fireworks. The figure as always. Come and goes without warning. But wise words yet warning are left behind.

"No matter how strong the ice are, they will always melt to a single touch......"
