Water… There are four basic elements, or so I am told. To me, they are the four immortals sired by Love and Dream, raised by the Goddess. Fire; glowing with intensity and warmth, the spark of love and the flame of destruction. Wind; forever changing and moving forward, the gentle breeze that brings a leaf to the ground and the ravaging tornado that tears apart forests. Earth; sturdy and strong, passage to the sky’s wonders and slippery cliffs to the depth’s dooms. Water; succulent and fluid, dripping with life’s power and cascading with death’s power. All four are balanced, each with the power to aid life and to hinder life.
To Earth to I pledge my allegiance, for I am one of Earth’s children. Rock hard head and stubborn as an ass, I am a friend to be leaned on with my cursed sturdiness. I can climb to the skies and live in the land of dreams and stars, I know the fear of my depths where blackness and torment abide. I have the ability to see all, to see through everyone’s eyes; both a blessing and a curse. I can erect mountainous walls to keep other’s out, or live in a field of flowers where all are welcome. I know how to shatter a soul with a quake powered by guilt and distaste. And yet I know how to help grow, as the do plants from feeding on the Earth’s love and kindness.
I am also the grandchild of Love and Dream. We are all the grandchildren of the immortals. In every one of us lies their traits, their lessons, their aspirations. How to love unconditionally, to share love and to create love. How to reach for the clouds and in them see what we will, how to be children wishing upon the first risen star, how to wish and hope for what might be. These things are buried deep within our souls, waiting for us to find and unlock their powers.
And yet there are other things waiting for us to find them, other things waiting for us to unlock their doors. For life must always be balanced, for the ups there are downs. For every mountain a valley, for every love there is lust, for every warm day a cold one, for every full tummy an empty one, for every life… a death.
And so Water teaches us, as do those who pledge allegiance to Water. Of all the immortal elements Water is the greatest, for Water gives life. And most who pledge their allegiance therein are also life givers, but there are a few, a few who find death in water. Who find the plummeting waters too tempting to resist. Those who see unsurpassable power and can’t restrain their lust for death. For Water is Earth’s opposite, and so Water’s child is mine.
Remember children, that we are all greater than those elements to which we pledge allegiance, for they create our balance, but it is you and only you who can create your own identity! Will you choose to burn yourself with fire? Break and not bend with the winds? Create uncontrollable quakes? Or drown in same waters from which you were born? Or will you create warmth and comfort with the spark of love, use the winds to help changes progress, stand proud and tall and strong, and drink the life-giving waters? Who you are is up to you, what you do is up to you. I will always forgive your actions, but you may not always forgive them.
Four immortals were chosen to sire and protect our galaxy; Creation, the sole father, who’s mistress’ were Hope, Sun and Prosperity. From Hope he sired Life, the mother of Remembrance, Forgiveness, Love and one other who’s name has been long forgotten. From Sun he sire Sky, the sole male in his generation. From Prosperity he sired his most trusted child, Mother, who would soon give birth to three of Sky’s children; Loyalty, Friendship and Dream. From these seven grandchildren thirteen great-grandchildren were born. Birthed by Love and sired by Dream were four; Fire, Earth, Air and Water, who are the four purest elements. Loyalty gave birth to Water’s children; Serenity, Beauty, Peace and the twins Trust and Distrust. And by Fire four more were born; Hate, Vengeance, War and Honour. They are the twenty eight Immortals and their story begins here.
--
Creation, the father of all was filled and consumed with the idea of creating a universe of beings who would live, learn, love and pass his lessons forward. To do this he called upon his mistress’ Hope, Sun and Prosperity to give birth to his family, who would guide these new beings.
Hope gave him the trust and open mind to see the good in all. She would give birth to Life who took after Hope in teaching good, and how to live life to the fullest, having fun and not worrying.
Sun, his favourite, loved lighting up his world with laughter and joy. She explored the limits of the universe. The boundaries of the heart. She gave birth to a true gentleman, the lord Sky. He always thought of others first, he wasn’t afraid of being with his mother and made a star shine for every good deed anyone did.
Last, but not least, there was the snake, Prosperity. While she brought out good and made more, she was the beginning of greed. She did, however, give birth to the most powerful, Mother. Though her name is old, and she holds all the knowledge of the ages, Mother is always young at heart and caring by nature. Mother would adopt Earth, Air, Water and Fire and become known as the Goddess of the Elements.
And so they were; Creation, Prosperity, Hope, Sun, Life, Sky, and Mother. The rest is determined by the heart and what it makes of them. For they are not beings, but immortal spirits.
Twenty Eight.
No more or less.
But emotions and spirits.
To serve forever;
The good of beings to come,
The evil that will teach.
Twenty Eight;
To fill hearts and souls,
To be and to give,
To sing of and to dance for.
To children they will pass,
From generation to the next.
Oh the irony I see in it now... Water's children are your games!
