Elric traveled across the mysterious sky at the World of Elentals. Below him, he could finally see the edge of the black sea which was a boundless end out to be a huge Waterfall with a bottom, not even his dragon-like-eyes could reach.
As they traveled, Elric asked the giant turtle with several questions regarding the mysterious land and its creatures. With five giant different colored moons as his background, Elric felt like he was in a fantasy world which he could only imagine in his dreams.
"The black-water-covered land we ca from is the border wasteland to the Human realm." The giant turtle explained. "If you happen to go fall deep into the edge of the black waterfall, you should be able to reach the human realm, albeit it the small chance of surviving the fall. The real problem is that the black water is guarded by the Dark Snakes which you have seen a while ago."
"Dark Snakes..."
"The one we fought was a youngster. Probably only three thousand years old. We were lucky we did not et the bigger ones."
"There are even bigger ones?!" Elric’s mouth gaped at the realization.
Just how absurd can this world be? First, a giant turtle that can talk, then a giant black snake, and there is an even bigger than that?!
"We elentals live in our moons according to our elents. The five moons you see around the sky are the Five palaces of the Elentals. Each moon represented a dominant elent. The bright blue one is called Tugbi, the land of the Water elentals. the bright green moon you see is the Land of the Forest Elentals called, Nasgal; the dark yellow moon is the land of the Earth and Rock Elentals called Tayu. The gray one is called Nhgani, and the Red one is the fire elental realm called Kyayu which we are heading."
Elric’s eyes surveyed the five moons around him and continued.
"If I am not mistaken, are you a water elental?" Elric asked.
"I am a rare elental fusion result of water, earth and wind elent."
"Water, Earth and Wind?" Elric’s face warped in surprise.
"My family has a long history of inter-elental fusion which leads to my different abilities."
"I see so the Elentals are capable of elental fusion, is that how you guys procreate? By Elental Fusion?"
"Yes." Elric’s imagination tried hard to understand how their procreation works but he could not make up his mind at all. Certainly, this world is completely different from what he knows and the usual logic of the human realm must be rendered useless in this world.
"And you ntioned of a certain Seer Mata, may I know who is she?"
"I am not to ntion too much about her but one thing you must know is that she is an elental respected by everyone in this world. So you better behave well and don’t do anything stupid in her presence!"
"I understood."
Elric’s curiosity just got more intense the more he learned about the Elental world.
It took quite a few hours but finally, the distant red moon from a while ago is now all over Elric’s view. The land of the fire elentals was about the size of the whole china molded into a single globe. The whole place was covered in red rocks and sand while the atmosphere was extrely hot.
The air was heavy and Elric felt like he was in hell with the random fla spouting out everywhere.
After a few more minutes, they have finally arrived at a giant circle gate with its edges decorated in gold. Beside this gate are two massive Lava covered golems over twenty ters in height. Each of the lava Golem’s body is covered in black solid rocks with occasional red hot liquid magma spurting out all over their edifices,
They both command an imposing aura that threatens to destroy anything that approaches the golden gate. If one walks behind these golden gates, they would only end up at the sa barren land as before; therefore, to reach their destination, Elric and the turtle has to go through inside the Golden gate.
"This golden gate serves as a portal. The real world of the Fire Elentals are actually inside this planet, not outside and the only to get there is through this golden gate." The giant turtle explained.
Elric nodded in response but was still a little nervous at the towering presence of the lava golems.
"Relax Hugon kid. They won’t dare touch you for they have already expected your arrival." Assured the giant turtle.
And as expected, Elric and the giant turtle went inside the golden gate and a whole new world appeared in Elric’s horizon.
The world of the Fire Elentals is completely out of his expectation. The fire elental world was opposite to the Earth that he knew as the fire elentals’ gravity is reversed with the pressure pulling him upwards instead of downward. Because of these, the Fire elental world is upside down.
There is also a mini version of the sun floating in the middle of the planet the serves as the light that shines all over the small planet.
The fire elentals called this small sun in the middle as the Mother Fire that gave birth to every fire elentals.
The citizens of the Fire Elentals are all made up of Fire with varying colors depending on their age. There are blue ones, red, yellow and even green. Their age is defined by their color and temperature where the Orange one is the old fire elentals and the Blue ones are the younger fires.
They have no other distinct organs aside from two black dots in their faces and a human-like form.
The fire elentals live by devouring other fires elentals and use their energy as their own. This way, the younger blue fires has total dominance until they slowly lose their heat and beca part of the devouring cycle.
Suddenly Elric realized the small teor-like stones the size of a thumb that is piled like mountains everywhere. Noticing Elric’s curiosity, the giant turtle explained.
"Those small stones are the eyes of the devoured fire elentals. Once, their fire energy is overwheld by another more powerful fire, they surrender their fire to their devourer and beco part of them, that includes their consciousness as well."
An Average fire elental has only a year to live and only by devouring another fire elental thru forceful fusion could they extend their lives even further.
As Elric and the giant turtle flew towards a towering land, the fire elentals would look at them with an excited reaction.
"FIRE!"
"FIREE!"
"FIRE!"
A fire elental’s life was focused on finding more sources of heat to beco a stronger fire. Without any organs, their only purpose of life was to find more fire and beco stronger, because of these, any objects that can be used to produce more fire is like a treasure to them. Upon seeing a turtle and a human, their nature started to take action started flying towards that non-fire-elental beings.
"SCRAM!"
Suddenly the Giant turtle’s body started to emit a dark fog that quickly beca heavy rain-clouds. The ability to beco a rain cloud is also a skill inherent to those elentals who are mixed with water and wind elent. In the next instant, rain threatened to eliminate the incoming fire elentals causing them to flee in panic like a scared dog screaming for life.
"RUN!"
"RUN!!!"
"WATER! RUN!"
With the threat of the fire elentals gone, Elric and the giant turtle continued towards the towering land where the Greet Seer Mata was located. Before his very eyes, a giant castle made of gold greeted him and left him feeling speechless with its sheer grandness.
It did not take long for them to arrive and Elric was greeted by a giant burning Phoenix with deep red gems as her eyes!
"I have been waiting for your arrival, Elric. Welco to my land." The flaming Phoenix greeted Elric with literal warmness and shine.
