I am in the darkness. I haven't seen the outside world for 18 years of my life. I have been asking my identity and existence from myself for a long time. Suddenly, a beam of light pierces open the darkness. I take time to adjust into it. A hand pulls me into the source, while I fall from the sky. Even without opening my eyes, I can see what was beneath me. I was turning into a fireball heading towards the Earth from thousands of feet. I crashed on a pointy metal building which began to shudder as it lost one of its supports. The building was about to hug the earth and hundreds of people were about to loose their life. My instincts kicked in and I raised my hand to rebel against the disaster.

Lightning strikes, the water in the nearby river bursts out as a mini tsunami towards the building. Assisted it to kiss the surface while saving the lives of people inside the building. People did face minor injuries but were happy to be alive. I was delighted to see the outside world and that's when I noticed a shard of glass near my feet. I saw myself, and it was the first time I saw myself. Emerald eyes, fair skin, toga and black hair.

I saw the flashes of the sky, then I realized that I was on a city called Paris and I crashed on the Eiffel Tower. Even though I did not know about anything, I knew everything. The whole incident was calming down, when I noticed a thousand eyes staring at me. I walked away from the crowd and entered the nearby alley. I was in shock about everything that happened. That's when the environment became misty while I could still see things beyond the fog.

A deep voice spoke "Welcome to the world, master". The confusion was flowing in my veins, that's when a bald, old, bearded man wearing white armor appeared in front of me. I backed off as he marched towards me. He knew what was going in my mind. He explained himself, " Sir, my name is Promerion and I have been looking for you for the past 18 years. We found you when you used your powers. The Universe has been waiting for you, the EFE committee demand your presence immediately."

I asked him "What are you talking about and why are they looking for me"

He replied, "You are the most important person in the Universe"

"How so"

He replied with pride and pain, " You are the result of the union of Water and Fire, the one who is perfect, the first born of elements, the result of sacrifice of the elements. You are the heir of elements"

"Heir of elements" I repeated sarcastically.

There was a big gap of silence between me and my conscience.

I stared at his face, he gave me a warm smile. I got aroused with sudden sensation of adrenaline and that's when dark clouds started to cover the atmosphere.

Promerion signaled the two guards behind him, the guards nodded to each other and drew a line on the air. I was puzzled, but some part of me knew that he was messaging the royal vehicles.

Instantly, 4 dragons appeared in front of me. One of them I knew was for me as he was decorated and well armored than the rest of the others.

Promerion alerted me, "Master, this place is no longer safe for us, we should leave now."

I accepted his request and mounted the dragon. We got ready to soar in the skies. The dragon took off in light speed, and in a second, we escaped Earth's gravitational field. The dark mist was still following us. Promerion spoke to the dragons in Sanskrit to go faster. The dragons aced through the space time diaspora by going faster than the speed of light.

The dragons sensed danger ahead and they stopped instantly. The mist covered us from all the directions.

I heard deafening roars from the mist. Giant bat like creatures approached from the mist. I call them minions. The guards and Promerion covered me, but the minion army seemed too challenging for them. The minions shot black projectiles at us. In defense, the guards and Promerion shot fire and water that emerged from his hands. I was witnessing a fight in space. It was cool. A shot from the minions somehow touched the armor of a guard. His armor started to melt and resulted in a painful death for him. It was only Promerion and a guard left which could save us from death. I was scared to loose them, but on the other side. I felt aggression flowing in my veins. The crew managed to defeat several minions but it didn't look that victory was on our side. I raised my arms and yelled, "Blaze". Soon enough, my arms felt like they were being on fire, fire emerged from my palms and exploded the herds of minions. People on Earth notice that as a supernovae explosion. The herds of minions flew away from us with fear. The guard and the dragons cheered in excitement.

Promerion looked impressed and later he ordered the dragons to keep flying. After a minute or so, we reached the middle of this universe. A giant wormhole welcomed us to light and the world beyond.
