When Mermaid Chose Fire
I look at my kingdom for the last time. This blue beauty, this wonderful architecture...
I look at the place where I was born for the last time.
Today I bid farewell to my kingdom, my people, my king and my queen.
Today I will be cursed, thrown into a maze.
Today I will be sentenced to a sentence among those beings called 'Lers'.
Because I am not loyal to my kingdom.
There is a Gate in front of me. The door opens and he invites me, I accept the invitation and I go inside.When I enter the room, I see nothingness. Everywhere is white, there is only 'Air' in this nothingness. Suddenly 'Air' hits my face, the wind starts to create a whirlwind. The hurricane is growing, growing...
And it draws me in.
I can't move any of my limbs, I'm blocked. My feet are off the ground. Now I'm moving with the hurricane. Suddenly the whirlwind stops and I fall to the ground by the betrayal of 'Air'.
I realize I hit my head on the ground, and how much it hurts. I feel the 'air' being pulled out of me. I'm out of breath.
I open my eyes in another whiteness. I see a Divine Shadow in front of me. For seven days, Divine Shadow teaches me to control 'Air'.
"I'm giving you another breath of life, avenge 'Air'."
Everything is getting dark, I feel a power inside me. I open my eyes and find myself in that room again.
I get up, 'Air' hits my face again and the wind creates a whirlwind. The hurricane is growing, growing...But this time, I'm not letting him beat me. I raise my hands and dance my fingers towards myself. I roll my fingers down and watch the 'air' soften in my hands.
I walk towards the door at the other end of the room. The door opens and the room pulls me in. When I enter the room, the door closes and I glance around the room. This time there is only 'earth' in the room. I'm starting to walk. I'm suddenly pulled down. The 'soil' is collapsing and I am falling into it. I lift my head and scan my body with my hands. I'm trying to get out of the pit.I put my hands on the highest ledge of the pit, something unexpected happens and I fall back into the pit, the 'soil' begins to come towards me, a small landslide occurs. I'm staying under the 'soil'.
I wait under the 'soil' for hours, finally I am out of breath and my eyes are closed.
I open my eyes again in the white nothingness, and again the Divine Shadow stands before me. Divine Shadow teaches me to control the 'Soil' in seven days.
"I'm giving you another breath of life, avenge 'Soil'."
It's getting dark, my eyes are closing. I feel a power inside me, my eyes are opened. I find myself in the same room again. I begin to walk again, and the 'soil' collapses. I'm falling into the pit again, this time I'm not trying to get out. I quickly raise my hands in the air and 'Soil' begins to rise with my hands. The pit is closing.
I look at the door at the other end of the room and start walking towards it. The door opens. There is a huge sea inside, formed in the air and when the door is opened, the 'Water' pours into the room where I am. 'Water' fills the room I'm in. I try to swim to the other room but it doesn't work. That one is trying to suffocate me, when I look at that empty room ahead, I realize that his room is not a room. A plain with the sun on its top, adorned with gray grass.I got an idea. This was my last chance, if I was out of breath once more, Divine Shadow would not give me another chance, but if I did what I had in mind, it would have to give me another chance.
I grabbed my glasses and took them out as 'Water' tried to drown me. I swam as far as I could towards the plain ahead, after getting close, I threw the
eyeglass in my hand into the plain.
While I was drowning, the glasses of my glasses, which I threw into the plain, started to burn with the effect of the Sun. As the flames rapidly engulfed the plain, I closed my eyes.
When I opened my eyes, Divine Shadow was standing in front of me.
"You Clever Mermaid..."
"Oh, you're going to give me one more chance, won't you, Divine Shadow?"
"Mermaid, betraying your Kingdom for a living...that was the least expected of you."
"Say one thing. Will you give another life?"
"Should I?"
"It's not the time for humor, Divine Shadow!"
I'll teach you to control the Water, and then I'll give you one last chance."
Within seven days, Divine Shadow taught me to control the 'Water' and gave me one last chance.
I opened my eyes in the room where the 'soil' was. Then I walked towards the only obstacle to the plain and opened that door again. The 'water' was no longer in the plain. Everywhere was burning. I had a plan, I walked towards the plain. I threw myself into the 'Fire'.
I was in pain, I was in the worst pain I've ever had in my life.
The Fire was inflamed, as if seeking vengeance on Water.
I was burning down. Once again I disappeared from this land. But this time only my body was gone, my soul was still intact.
The 'Air' had killed me with the wind, my body was intact but my soul was gone.
The 'Soil' had crushed my soul, but my body was still intact.
The 'Water' had oppressed me and destroyed my soul, but my body was still intact.
'Fire'... had destroyed my body, but my spirit was still intact.
So I was still alive.
First, with my soul, I went to the room where the 'Soil' is, and by checking 'Soil' there is enough to be useful to me, I took 'Soil' to the plain surrounded by 'Fire'. I checked the 'soil' and circled it around my ashes. Then I took water out of my palm and poured it into the circle. -As I am the Water Heir, I can pull the Water out of my palm-
Then again with my soul, I started to mix the water, ashes and soil in the circle by controlling some of the air in the plain I was in. I continued this for seven days.
Seven days later, my body was formed.
I entered my body, this time the 'Fire' did not burn me.
Fire, tamed in the hands of Water.
It's dark, and when it's bright, there's the Divine Shadow in front of me.
