Breaking of the World
“When the planet was young, the gods and goddesses found it. Dormant and coated in fire, nothing was going to live. One god, the god of earth, tried to bless the planet with earth. The fire ate the earth. The goddess of water smiled, she blessed the planet with water, calming the fire and making vast oceans. Earth, then blessed the planet with land. The god of life smiled at his fellow gifters and gifted the planet with life. The god Death sighed as he slowly took the life. ‘Air is required for life, did you forget dear friend?’ Death gave life a solemn stare. The goddess of air smiled and blessed the planet with air before looking at life. Life then blessed the planet. The goddess of fire feeling left out blessed the planet with fire, and volcanoes. Life smiled and turned to his blessers. 'let us make people to live in our lands to strive. People in water, air, fire, land and my forest, shall we?’ the group agreed, allowing the different types of people to be made. Over the years they would watch the planet, and one year, the people of land, and sky teamed up to eliminate the people of fire. Then the gods and goddesses planned to make spirits of their lands. Someone who can die, but will reincarnate to keep the people from dying. Harmony stayed in place with people of fire mixing with all others. Until the people of earth attacked again. The gods and goddesses decided I to call the planet Earth, after the oppressors.” a soft voice whispered to her twin babies as she looked at the older son. “I won't let my family die.Take good care of them, and don't die. Go!”
The eldest son grabbed his younger siblings and ran. He slid into the closest, darkest alley way catching his breath. Being a being of water running on land is difficult. The eldest son ran and found himself at a nice place to hide and stay. This place had a family of land people who were looking to adopt three kids, and so they did. Two babies, and an eight year old. The couple already had a son, and a daughter, but three children in need of help was a hard to let down. The son was eight years old, and the daughter was four years old. The couple had moved to this dry land locked state from Hawaii. To seem more like land people.
“During the time of killing and extracting the water people, the land people were doing the same for every being. Air, and forest. Fire had already intermingled themselves into the land population, the people on the land killed the rulers of all other lands. Queen Mamora of fire, and her three daughters. King Lotus of water, his wife Queen Aquamarine, and their seven children. King Silver of air, and his wife Queen Strato, and their twin sons. Queen Evergreen of forest, and her husband king Willow, and their three children. All were lost During the war. King Zarkon of earth rules all, in his safe hands of power. But as legend of the gods say one day few will rise against the oppression, few will bring down Zarkon’s reign and free us all!” a short girl yelled at the group.
The group of people laughed and continued to walk on by. Alice ran up to the girl and grabbed her hand pulling her out of the crowd. Alice is a short girl with long dark brown hair and light brown eyes, her skin matched her brother. She wore a sundress ending in her mid calf, she had sandals on as well. The girl she grabbed was pale, orange brown hair, in a curly, short mess, she wore baggy shorts, and a baggy sweater, her boots ending above her ankles. Her eyes glowed brown with anger. Hunk, Alice’s brother followed close behind, grabbing me as we went.
“Pidge what were you thinking. Now the government is coming to kill you!” Alice yelled at Pidge. “Please don't scare me, don't scare us. I am with you, but for your plan to work you need to be alive. Stop, stop asking for death. I won't be able to handle it.” Alice finished. By this time we were in their hideout. The Holt house. Once we relaxed we sat down and looked between each other. Hunk gave Pidge a worried look. She turned to me.
“Everything you see here is top secret, slip a word. Well we may have to slip your secret. Prince Lance.” Pidge threatened her eyes cold, for the warm brown they were. I looked at the girl in front of me, short, but serious. I nodded and the group stood, leading me away. This time I ended in a basement. Eight people. I knew them from school, only one could I see in a revolution. She was Pidge. Everyone else worked hard.
“Lance? Why is he here? He is going to sabotage our entire group, I promise you.” Keith spoke up after a while. His purple grey eyes sharp, and cold. Hunk spoke before me.
“Pidge spoke out getting us in small trouble if police were summoned so I grabbed him as we left. He is an innocent bystander, of high power. We need him.” Hunk explained.
“Everytime we ask he rejects us and we don't have him.” Shiro sighed and took a step towards me.
“Please not today. I saw nothing, let me go back to my sisters.” I sighed looking between the group.
“Not until you join, and let your sisters join.” Keith spoke up. I looked at him, trying to find something about him that might hurt to insult. As cute as he is, his mullet it slightly annoying and ruining the look. He continued to watch me.
“No, those girls are not coming in here. Hunk I am indebted to you, but I cannot.” I turned to walk out but the three girls blocked my way. “Alice, please, they won't fit in here.” Alice smiled before glancing at Hunk.
“They need this Lance, the school is brainwashing, and you are the only insider to their true self. Who are they? Are they Carroll and Rhoma, or are they Coral and Rho, princesses of the oceans. Lance are you Lance or are you Prince Lance heir to the ocean throne? Remember your mother’s words? Don't die, if you slip and they find out you are dead. If you learn and fight back you-”
“Can you kill yourself and your family faster, the girls don't need that. We need to hide and live, I am the only one who can slip. Well maybe you two, I wish you’ve never known.” I interrupted Alice, my tone full of venom. I turn to the rest of the group. “Why should I try? Mullet won't be helpful, he hates me. Shiro worries about everyone, but there is too much to worry about. Hunk, you have Alice to look after, Allura Coran, you two are on Zarkon’s radar being direct contact to the air goddess, and king. Pidge, Matt you two are direct descendants of the forest spirit and protector. Why?” I growled at them.
“Because this needs to be done.” Allura chimed. “People are suffering dying, and you'll leave that behind for your life and family? In a fabricated world of lies?”
“I have to. I don’t what to hear anyone else I love die.” I mumbled to no one but myself, my head down. But everyone heard in the silent room. “Please give me some time to think about this.” I asked in the end looking up at all of the people in the room.
