The Legend of the Gypsie's Curse

One day 8 elemental children went to a gypsies tent during a festival. One by one they asked the gypsy for something. Gypsies in there world are different then ours in the human world they contain powerful magic and are able to do almost anything. The gypsy promised to grant each child one wish, but she warne them about the badness of greed. The children nodded but it was clear that none actually listened. First darkness walked up "I wish that I was more beutiful than a goddess." she said flipping her hair behind her shoulder. The gypsy nodded and garnted the darkness elemental's wish. second was Earth who stepped up bravely"I wish i was the strongest man alive!"The gypsy once more nodded and earth stepped aside. Next Lightning stepped up"i wish that I was the fastest elemental ever!"Once more he was granted his wish, Next came Fire, "I wish...to have a weapon more powerful than any other" the gypsy nodded to her and she moved aside. Up next was water, "I wish I would never grow old!"She smiled as her wish was granted. Light stepped up next"I wish I could control emotions" the gypsy thought this an odd request but nodded. Air flitted up"I wish i could control (secret word is legend) flying animals" Finnaly the love elemental stepped up"I wish I could be tought by the greatest healer!" After every child had gotten there wish the gypsy began to fade away"Beware my children, with greed comes remorse...if ten years time, you will be forced to pit against each other in battle...."The children, being mearly kids soon forgot the gypsies warning and used there wishes happily. Ten years in time the friends began to fight amongst each other. The firends spilt in half. Soon the friends fought real battles with each other, there own elemental companions fought with them. This soon became a great war. The children now adults fought until only fire was left. She stood on the battle ground.sobbing. She had become so greedy it had cost her her friends and family.

The Legend of Jayla the Fairy, and the Kiss of Bestowal


Every thousand years one fairy gets a special powers. thousands of years ago a fairy named Jayla was granted the gifts of ultimate power and bestowal. She could give anything special powers but when she did she had to use her own power and give it up. When a fairy loses it's power it dies.

One day while Jayla toyed with her endless power, she happened upon a small boy who had been beaten and robbed. She felt deep pity for the poor scrap, so she flew up to him and kissed him on the nose and said"I shall surrender my power of sight, so you can see when you will be in danger.As well as my power of becoming a bull so no one will hurt you" Then she found a small girl being chased by a man. The girl tried to climb a tree to escape but kept falling. The fairy felt that this was unjustly wrong, because the girl was young and didn't know any better, without a family, to even defend herself. So again Jayla flew over and once again kissed the girl"I shall relinquish my shape-shifting power so you can escape and my power of tongues so you can understand anyone and anything so you can live anywhere" Then she met a girl who was starving. The fairy once more took pity and kissed the girl"I bestow my earth powers so you can make food and my power of becoming a monkey so you can take the food even when it is high above you" she did this 4 more times each time giving up another two powers.

One day the King fairy found out and scolded Jayla and said"Dear Jayla you have given up your shape-shifting so you can not hide from human eyes, your earth so you can not make shelter, your power to see into the future so you cannot see an enemy approach, and many more. You have also let 7 human children see you. I must punish you if you do this again." Jayla nodded and did her normal work for days and days until she saw an orphan girl freezing in the forest. She tried to avoid the girl, remembering the king's plea. She once more did her work. and once more she saw the girl half dead in the snow. That night she cried because she could not help the girl though she desperately wanted to. She flew to the girl and kissed her and said"I shall give up my fire so you can stay warm and my power of becoming a wolf so you can find a family with the forest creatures and with it my life." The girl stared in wonder, this girl was different and Jayla seemed to have given much more than just her magic up to this young girl. Jayla flew home and wept, because she knew this was probably her last night.

The king immediately found out about the eight child and punished the fairy girl"Every one hundred years you must surrender 16 of your own powers to 8 human children." Jayla nodded and accepted her punishment. And so the fairy Jayla still gives her power up to this day and will untill she dies...

Tyro's Tail-Ember's story (part 1)

Tyro, medium sized for a tiger and playful
This is going to be a series of tales about my elemental characters, Ember-fire, her twin Sparx-lightning, her younger brother, Granite-stone, her little sister, rain-water, and her mother and Father, Rose-earth and Crow-wind. This is all told by a young white Tiger named Tyro, who is also Ember's very close companion.

Ember Now (top) Ember looks like this now, 18 and still living her life
Wildfire(bottom) still deep within Ember's own heart,
knowing every emotion and feeling, planning to crush every last one when she returns
Wildfire
Ember had a wildness about her. She was part wolf(part human), and had the power of fire. she was kind and determined, one who never ran from a fight, especially when it meant something to her. But she had her own issues. Anger was her mortal enemy, the anger that Ember could not control. When she got this way once a boy had kissed her to calm her spirits, sometimes they through water over her, and sometimes confined her to a closed space. But there were times, when she outgrew her own level of anger and hatred. When all the things that meant life to Ember became dust. In Ember's mind, Tyro could only guess, was a constant battle, a battle for control over her own self. She fought with the fire that surrounded her heart and the fear that she could kill someone she found too dear to live without. Yet, those times came, she would lose all self control and become a new being that did not have anything to do with the teenager who's body it dwelled inside, except wanting to survive and make that teenager hurt so much...
Tyro was sure not even the boy who kissed her could make her change back. Nor could water or closed spaces, because at that time she would no longer be her, who she was or who she wanted to be. She would be the monster that all the little children saw in there sleep, every mother feared while there children ran with a candle, every man saw in the flames while the elders recited their legends. She would be as wild as a mustang, reckless as a barbarian, and as deadly as the grim reaper himself. She would become a demon that everyone despised, and more than that feared with there heart and soul. And all that kept Ember from finding a way to rid herself from it was"she is the only thing that my mother could do to keep me alive...."

Tyro looks away, his eyes glazed with tears, this was true. When Ember was young she almost drowned in the water. When she was recovered, the doctor said that she wouldn't make it, that half of her was already in the spirit world. Ember's mother, Rose, cried for days, and rarely left Ember's side. When Ember's twin,Sparx, came back with her father, Crow They too wept over her, though Ember didn't yet know why. One night a demon came, twas the demon of fire itself, a demon only heard of in legends. The demon named Wildfire. Rose pleaded with the demon, who was inside dying as well, to help her save Ember. The demon to graciously agreed. Ember was alive again, but the demon was brought back as well.

Through the years Ember grew to know that she as different and the villagers soon learned that as well. Ember soon had two knew brother and sister. Rain and Granite. She loved them, but soon after...the worst happened. The villager's learned of Ember's demon side and wanted to destroy her. Rose blocked the way. Ember watched as they brought her mother down and fled. Her father had returned by now and saw his wife laying crumpled in a heap on the ground. He too tried to stop the villagers, but he too was killed. Granite and Rain were children now, the age as Ember when she fell into the water. They were playing in there rooms, Sparx was tending to the horses and Ember didn't know what to do. She was afraid, and angry, and filled with undying hatred....Tyro had been a young cub then, his mother,Serenity, belonged to Rose. She too was destroyed. Tyro had hidden and did not know the rest...that you would have to ask Ember herself.....

To be continued......
