The shadows concealed me , I must not leave this alley way . Wait for the signal Aeolus told me , but it's been too long , our group should have killed the guard leader by now especially with Aeolus leading this mission .I've seen him kill entire groups of soldiers within three minutes , he has the imperial element of air making him the most valuable Member of the R.O , (the revolution Organization). Maybe we underestimated the ability of the guard leader but still the target must be killed soon so the people of this village are not endangered, the village is drained of money , every last penny going to the capital towards the Emperors army . The houses here are worn down and can't afford to be caught in the destruction of the fight.

My stomach plunges into an immediate feeling of fear , this mission has taken 9 minutes longer then it should have something is not right , I need to stay alert , get ready to fight if I must . Peering round the Corner I see a thin layer of frost covering the entirety of the ground , I feel my stomach plunge further into more uncertainty something has gone wrong , praying to myself in my head that we have not lost another valuable member of our group . I desperately look around for any sight of anyone from the R.O making sure to be cautious I am not seen . The temperature feels like it's dropping , goosebumps are racing up my skin making my body shiver. But without warning my heart drops to the ground .

The R.O group , my mission group have been impaled with ice spikes which can pierce through any material , frozen into a huge wall of ice , my eyes quickly scan the area for Aeolus , or anyone who is alive. But there is no one , no one is alive everyone is dead .
"Aeolus" my voice shaking says. My knees feel weak ready to give in any moment now , I collapse to the ground the air around me is silent , there in front of me ; a warrior , a dear friend with giant ice spikes going through his body ,his hands are forced together with more ice stopping him from channelling his element . He's gone .

"He was weak" a voice echoes behind me . I try to find the strength to get up but I'm panicked , crying my heart is aching and sore . "He was never going to beat me , he was hardly powerful". How could this man be saying this? He just killed my entire mission group, my good friend and he thinks he has the right to call Aeolus weak. "He was not weak...". Is all I could murmur my voice is shaking and I can't get up. "Everyone is weak to me". "No one has ever bested me in a fight , or even made me bleed ". The sound of his voice is louder , he's right behind me his presence is looming over my kneeling body . Before i can even react a hand tilts my chin to face the voice . I cannot contain my emotions as soon as I see who is holding my face in his hands. I'm going to be killed , right here beside my fallen comrades . Their hands were ice cold I knew who this was . General Allerick , Dusan Allerick . The most deadly Imperial element channeller . The ice element. He's killed countless people slaughtered thousands his army grows bigger day by day , no doubt he is the most powerful warrior in the empire , just another person keeping this place corrupt. Dusan was tall ,and his eyes were a deep blue they looked empty and menacing. Their skin was pale and cold and his hair was as dark as his soul .

I close my eyes , ready for him to end my life. I fought for the freedom of my people , and knew what I was signing up for joining the R.O , but just accepting your life is about to end and being powerless in this dreadful fate. "Your name"? He says . Why would I answer to this monster ? I'm going to be killed by him , "do not make me have to repeat my instructions".
"Maila Ceto" I say as boldly as I can .

The water imperial element girl"? "Maybe this fight will be more entertaining". A fight ?
I have a chance. In panic I get ready to Chanel my imperial element. But there's no way I can win, he's going to kill me with the fun of a fight, I won't let him enjoy this , he has a weakness and that is that he's alive which means , I can kill him .Instantly a blade of ice cuts through my arm causing me agony . No I can't let him win. I look deep into his eyes but he shows no emotion ,I feel the rushing flow of my imperial element taking over me  the power of the water element surges through my veins . A tsunami of water which will react to my every movement rises  fearlessly from the sea surrounding this costal village . I'll fight him , and I WILL win.
