Ragon

With his fallen commarde’s shield in his left and short sword in his right hand, Maye turned around just in time to block a deadly blow from the enemy. With years of practice and deadly accuracy, he cut his enemy in half just above the waist just in time to see an arrow pierce through the skull of another who was attempting to attack him from the side.

Thank god for the archers

Leaping over dead bodies of both ally and foe, he slowly made his way towards the structure that loomed into the dark sky ahead. A once magnificent, white structure that brought home to the people, it was now tainted black with evil greed.

White tainted black by the evil that goes on inside that building.

Maye suddenly felt dizzy. The sudden lack of oxygen in the air had cause him to feel this way. Just a little way to his left, he heard the main bulk of troops shout and fight louder and fiercer than before. A result of inhaling abundance amounts of oxygen. Maye put two and two together. He tried to shout a warning, but his lungs could not find the strength to do so. Neither could he run over and croak out a warning, as he knew that before he could even take five steps, he would perish together with them. So the next best course of action he could do was to dive deep into the ground beneath the motionless bodies of those whom he once fought with and against and pray.

A loud whoosing sound and a sudden gush of air confirmed his suspicision. The battlefield was filled with cries and moans for a split second before it fell as quiet as a graveyard but as hot as an oven. Counting to ten before daring to move, Maye recovered to a crouching position and surveyed the situation. Nothing remained of the fighting force. If an untrained eye looked at what he was looking at, he would have been convienced that they had all disappeared within a blink of an eye like a classic magician’s trick. However, the depressions in the ground where men once stood and the extreme cleaniness of the site were the giveaways.

The men who stood infront of Maye just a while ago had been decomposed by the deadly heat of the compressed ignition of the compressed oxygen. Double compression. That meant that they had a Elementer that controled Air, Fire and Space.

Surprise Surprise.

Slightly devastated by the event, Maye glanced cautiously around before attempting to make his getaway. They had all died in that split second. Over a thousand men who had wives and children had died just like that. Their fate was already decided when they stepped into the battle field.

Maye turned and began to run, only to find out that his legs had been bound tight to the ground by the very grass he stood on! Starting to panic, Maye took out his dagger and began to hack at the grass that bound his feet tightly.

You won’t cut it in time.

Maye threw the dagger forward, aiming at the person that appeared out of thin air. The dagger’s aim was true. However it did not hit its mark - it hovered just inches from the Elementer’s face.

"So you control Time, Dark-Elementer." Maye said as he attempted to pick up his short sword that lay within reach, only to find that his had lost all control of his arms and water was dripping from them. "And Water too."

"Last survivor, you seem pretty fearless in the face of death." the Elementer smiled playfully. "Before you fall dead to the ground, let me enlighten you of my existence.

"I am Miya, Elementer from the Northlands, Master of OmniElement."

Maye couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "OmniElement? You jest generously. There’s no such thing as-"

He didn’t manage to finish his sentence as he fell backwards as if hit by an arrow in the chest. The Elementer smiled and walked back towards the structure. Within moments she covered a distance that no possible ordinary living creature could cover even when running at the fastest speed.

When the villagers found Maye the following day, they were all equally puzzled by his death. They brought him back to the village doctor who examined him throughly but cound not come up with an explanation. Maye’s body appeared to have been both engulfed in flames and frozen inside out. When the doctor had cut open his body, Maye exhaled his final breadth and his heart beated its final beat. On top of that, bacteria found in the Northlands were appearantly growing inside his body, feeding off the frozen blood.

Although he confessed to the villagers that he was equally puzzled as them, the doctor knew that the rumours of an OmniElementer are true. And the village may very well be the next target.

Dawn’s Carriage

Shaded by the trees, calling out to the wind, I’m lying face-down crying
I saw a version of myself I didn’t even recognize
On this guitar I’m playing the melody of someone who’s passed on
A star falls in the grief of someone who’ll never be seen again

Please don’t go, no matter how much you scream,
all it will do is quietly stir these orange petals
Saved on my soft brow,
I send the memories in my palm far away
An eternal farewell as I keep strumming

The heart of a child clinging to a gentle hand
The blazing wheels cast it off and continue on
On this guitar I’m playing the grief of someone who’s passed on
The strings in my heart being plucked at violently

In the pure white unstained by sorrow,
the orange petals stirred in a summer shadow
Even if my soft brow is lost,
I’ll cross over the far off, red-stained sand
The rhythm of farewell

Branded into my memories, on the ever-turning earth,
there is something sprouting in remembrance

Sending off the dawn’s carriage
Those orange petals are stirring somewhere even now
The peaceful daybreak I once saw
Until it is placed in my hands once more,
please don’t let the light go out
The wheels are turning
