Book Two - The Early Years

Prologue - It’s Time

Where the Sea of Fire and Sea of Lightning meet

A being of pure fire floated stationary above the Sea of Fire, her eyes a startlingly blue, liquid flame burning endlessly as she stared at the being below her. A majestic wolf made out of lightning slowly approached her from behind, caressing her wing as he too gazed down at the small form in front of them.

“It’s time.” He said softly

“I know.” She responded sadly, tears of liquid flame dripping from her eyes and falling onto the form below. “I wish he had woken up just once; so that we could say goodbye.”

“Perhaps, it is better this way.” Responded the majestic wolf of lightning. “He must face this journey alone, he has gone through worse before. At least, father finally managed to get our brother to forget his petty grievances!”

“If it wasn’t for him, then this wouldn’t be necessary. I know that the two of you have never gotten along, but to think he would cause our son’s death in the spirit realm!”

“It wasn’t his fault, and you know that. He was just pissed that we had a child first, and it is his right to control the Essence of Earth.”

“I know, and I’m thankful that he has granted our son the right to gather them, but still!” The creature of fire burned hotter, staring off in a certain direction vengefully.

“Now, now. Father has put his foot down. We will do nothing to hurt any member of our family, period! You know just as well as I that even that cyclops feels bad about what happened.”

Below them, the form stirred slightly in its dreams. Shifting from a young wolf of lightning, to a majestic bird of fire, and then back again.

“If only we had a thousand more years, we could train him and get him ready for his future duties.” The tears continued to fall, their pace quickening as the fire continued to intensify.

“He will have plenty of time for that, but Yama has finally managed to find a human body that he will survive in. We will watch over him, and after a few thousand years he will ascend again, stronger than ever.”

“So, he has finished healing!” Came a voice behind them, and the two beings turned to find a young man walking towards them calmly, atop the Sea of Fire.

“Hello, father.” Said the lightning-wolf coldly.

“I know you’re still pissed at me, but I did what I had to do otherwise his soul would’ve been destroyed.”

“We know that, we just hate that it had to happen.” Said the being of fire, who had transformed into a beautiful woman made solely of fire.

“So, it is time for him to go?” Asked the wolf

“Yes, his time on the Elemental Sea has ended.” Answered the Creator.

“Which realm will he be born into?” Asked the fiery woman.

“Yours, my dear. I made sure that a suitable body would be available when he had recovered, and I’ll leave it to his mother to look over him. But, it is time for him to leave.”

With that, the creator stooped down and picked up the form of the three foot tall wolf, smiling happily as he cradled his grandson in his arms. The fiery-woman kissed the child on the cheek while the lightning-wolf hugged her, and in a poof they had disappeared.

They reappeared in an office with a gigantic chair moving from side to side while a deep voice talked to himself, “Well, well… Now that it’s time for him to be reborn it seems that it’s finally time for Melinda to be reborn. Well, maybe in a couple years, after all the husband should be older! HeHe! I can’t wait to see Solaris’ face when she finds out. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.”

The gleeful laughter was broken by the amused tone of the Creator as he spoke, “I see you’re up to your old tricks again.”

The chair spun around so fast that the swivel broke, and books spilled everywhere as the chair toppled over. “OWWW!!!” Came the basso voice, as a dwarf slowly climbed out of the massive pile of books that’d landed on top of him. Finally, looking up the dwarf spoke. “Why, hello father! What tricks are you talking about?”

“HA! You think you can hide anything from me? Anyway, its time.”

“Wait, doesn’t he have to be conscious to choose his goal?”

“His goal was chosen from the moment he was born, no reason to ask him about it.”

“What goal is that?” Asked the dwarf, confused for the first time in a long while.

“For now, to master all of the elements! Now, feed him the Elixir of Rebirth and get on with it. We’ve been waiting for nearly two-thousand years for him to heal. It’s time to get started!”

“Of course, father.”
