The Elementalists: Darkness Rises

"The Talk"

I looked around the hallway walls, staring at the statues and paintings. "You like what you see?" My father asked. "Y-yeah. It all looks so...amazing." He smiled as he heard those words. "Say...can anyone else come here? Like..in this place?" I asked. He nodded. "Only when the gods want them to." He said as he opened the door and told me to go sit at the table. This time, it was just a black room with a table and some chairs. On the sides, there were book shelves filled to the top with books, comics, and on top of it, were statues of angels and goddesses. He let go of my hand and walked toward the table to sit in the chair. "Please...take a seat." He said and I nodded. I walked to the chair on the other side and sat there. "I'm sure you have a lot of questions. You're probably wondering if any of this is real or not...right?" I stood there in silence, until I nodded yes.

"Well...I know I'm in a dream...but...I'm still curious...how are you here?" I asked him. He sighed and looked outside the window where there was only a dark blue sky and a shining white moon. "Take a look outside. See that it's nighttime?" I nodded. He continued. "Well...when I died, my physical form was destroyed. But, being an all powerful elemental god; even though my physical form is dead...My soul still lived on." He said. I looked confused at first, trying to understand what he was saying. He continued to speak. "Your dreams are like visions. You are connected to the moon due to the fact that you were born after Tay. So, when you dream, some dreams come to life." He said. "So..if my dreams are like visions...then how am I here?" I asked. He tilted his head and was rubbing his hands, as if he was happy about something. "You...have mastered your ability of the mind. One of your powers, Mind, are about how you feel at different times and places. Tay did it to you once, which allows a gateway to open in your brain.

"So...your soul..is a part of me?" I asked. "You and your sister. You two are connected to my gene. Meaning, my soul still lives within you." He said. I started to think about something inside my head. If his soul lives inside us...maybe we can bring him back into a different body. I kept that thought to myself. He started looking at me from head to toe. "You're broken..aren't you?" I looked at him confused. "I know that look. Plus I heard you break down in your cell." He said, grabbing a drink of water. He told me to tell him what's wrong so I said, "I just...I've been trapped for about a week. My crew is nowhere to be found. Not to mention, I'm losing my strength and power...I can't fix it. I've lost." I finished, with a depressed look on my face. "That's why I brought you here." "Where is here?" I asked. "You..are in the Elemental Breach. The breach between the real Elemental Plane, where the gods live. And you and Tay's original home."

"Original home? You mean...we were supposed to be born here?" I asked. "Yes. I was supposed to marry the second hand goddess..even though I didn't really have feelings for her. So I came to earth and met your mother. Boy was she an angel...not to mention..." I yelled at him before he said another word. "Too much info dad damn." I yelled and laughed, and so did he. I looked out the window and noticed it's about to be daytime. A loud bell can be heard in the distance. "That's the time bell. It's almost time for you to wake up." He said. I shook my head and said I don't wanna wake up.

"My Andria...you must live on. You and Tay are the one to defeat Cheyenne forces. I'll be there with you every step of your life. I'm not going anywhere." He got up from his chair, kissed me on the forehead, and walked toward the window. He stared at the sky and the sun coming up. " Just know, you have someone on the way to save you. Stay strong." He said as the room started to become brighter. "See you later...dad." I said as everything went pure white and before I knew it, I woke up. I was still in the cell and Tay was sound asleep across the room. "Hello..twin." I said quietly to myself. We need to get out of here. Hopefully, the guys are coming.
