they all looked at me and Diluvion spoke very seriously; "In the past, it is said that the world was just a pure giant circular rock and it was divided into two, the land of the angels and the land of the demons."
One day, a war between the two erupted. No one knows the reason why and no one knows what happened in that war but the four archangels, Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel, and Michael decided to make the 6 elementals that are devoted to their individual teachings.
Aqua, led by me, Diluvion, with my deep and vast knowledge and the power to control any liquidus materials, enemies will drown before they even struggle.
Ignis, the tribe that is led by Flamma. They hold the authority to evoke the blazing flame that will burn any foes to cinders.
Aero, led by Zeph with their unstoppable and sharp wind, that limbs severe at mere sight.
Locus, led by Silva the power to command nature at will
Terra, the honorable people of Terra with their ability to manipulate the ground, is being led by the king of this Abyss, Geo.
Sense, the strongest of them all, they were the people that what we call now, humans, with their potential to learn the five elements, it was led by Merlin.
The six elementals fought in the great first world war. It was an intense armed conflict between the demons and the angels, including the elementals.
Volcanoes were created, mountains emerged. The vast ocean was formed and the forest was brought to life. A lot of different kinds of landmass and water manifested in the world because of the elementals’ power. Until peace was finally restored and the demons hid in the deepest and darkest place of the world. Everything became normal and the world became beautiful with the landscape and seascape that they created. They lived peacefully and happily with everyone.
As Merlin was traveling the vast world with the other five elementals, they were in a desert without a single thing to be found. Just a shrub of a dying bush and a lot of sand then out of nowhere they found an oasis nearby. They rushed towards the fertile land with trees around and a lake in the middle but a lady was drifting in the center of it. Her long golden hair was covering her eyes and wearing a shabby dress. She wasn’t moving and she seemed lifeless, she was just floating above the lake with no significant movement. Merlin ran towards the mysterious girl to save her. He immediately jumped and swam to the girl without any second thought. He tried to save her but as he was swimming back, the girl suddenly woke up and struggled to get out of his hold. Merlin let go of the girl and she slaps him across the face.
“WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU?” she shouted angrily.
“Mine own greatest apologies, young mistress, I bethought thee were in danger;” Merlin replied calmly.
“Just… go, leave me alone…” she said as she turns her back on him.
“Art thee sure that you art fine?” Merlin asked her with a caring voice.
The lady responded in a sad and sorrowful tone; “Yes...just, please… go.”
As Merlin went out of the lake, he squeezed his clothes that were soaked in water.
The rocky and spikey haired man named Geo laugh at Merlin; “hahaha, I can’t believe you just did that, Hahahaha”
“C’mon let’s go, I collected enough water for all of us;” said Diluvion
They continued walking on the hot blazing desert and it was the same as anywhere it was just full of sand but as they were walking, they found themselves back in the oasis. They were confused but they didn’t mind it and they decided to continue walking in a different direction but they all came back to the same place. Merlin suddenly approaches the girl that was once again, sleeping in the lake.
“excuse me young mistress but it appears that we're stuck, could thee lendeth us a helping hand”
The girl stared at Merlin for a long time “I told you… you should’ve left earlier when I warned you… come, I’ll show you the way out;” She said as she pulls him into the lake, “All of this, it's all an illusion. The way out is down there... down the lake.”
Merlin and the lady swam down and what they saw at the bottom was a word painted on the rocks SMILE. He tried to smile but nothing happened.
“I already tried that but nothing is working;” she said
This time Merlin used his power to move the ground but alas… his magic wasn’t working. The stones weren't moving, the ground isn't budging, nothing he did worked at all. He called the help of the others but not a single thing happened as if they had fallen into a trap with nowhere to go.
The seven of them were trapped in the illusion created by the SMILE. Everyday they tried something new just to be free. Taking all the water from the lake and destroying the land, digging deep down the sand, shooting an endless barrage of fireballs to the horizon, and following it.
Six months later****
The six elementals stayed healthy and strong for their immortal body and the mysterious girl was the same. Her health didn’t deteriorate in the span of months without eating but she said that she was getting the energy from hibernating in the lake, and another six months have passed before them.
A year has gone by with no one to guide them out of the mirage, all is left was to live in the desolate land, filled with despair, fear, anguish, and sadness of not getting out. Consoling and supporting each other was their only choice but Merlin did not only comfort them, he fell in love with the lady. To him, her glow was blinding. It was clear for the other five that the two of them fell in love with each other. She was like a priceless gem, an irreplaceable treasure, she was precious to him and she did the same for him.
The lake shines a bright radiance of light and the rift in the sky appeared the thin air cracked and everything in the environment raptured. Then suddenly it all stopped as if nothing happened. They were confused about everything that just happened. Flamma shot a fireball into the horizon but this time it didn’t come back, as if it is a sign that they were finally free from the mirage. The joy and bliss they felt were immeasurable but a certain someone, Merlin, felt different.
His eyes were filled with tears, his heart was crying but not because he’s sad but because he was happy. The euphoric feeling of being a father. The lady was pregnant with his child and It is something that they would cherish for the rest of their life. Just the thought of it made him burst into tears
As the 7 of them traveled the world with a carriage and horses the baby was born and they named her, Vivien.
But fate sometimes can be cruel.
