//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Secrets of the Elements // by Mythical_Elemental //------------------------------// Chapter 1- The Start Hello, the names Mythic Goreen. I am what you might say lucky, but I say coincidence is what happened. I know you don't understand what I am talking about so here is what I am going to say. I am one human who got powers and went to Equestria with nothing but my clothes and some weird staff, which somehow was next to me, but you might want to know how I got here in the first place. I was 18 years old 3 weeks before college, so I had some neat items ready, And it was June 9th, which is my birthday. The story goes like this... ------June 9, 2012------ I was sitting at my wooden desk on my old Gateway Laptop, since the new laptop I bought hasn't came yet. The game I hooped onto was Maplestory, which is the only game that doesn't lag like hell. I hear a doorbell at my frontdoor, which I jumped out of the chair and walked to the door. But I saw no one but a bow on the ground. It was a gray box with black ribbons, so I picked up the box and placed it next to my laptop. I then started searching for my pocket knife to cut the box open. Turns out the knife was next to my laptop on the other side so I cut the ribbon and tape and toke off the wrapping. I opened up the box that held the gift and all I found was a odd multi-colored marble that had yellow, white, red, green, and blue in it. And next to the marble was a blank peice of stone with a note. I grabbed the stone and set it down. I was confused at this since, well why in the world would you get a flat peice of stone in a present. I set my palm on the stone and my hand burned for a second so I moved my hand and found a runic binding circle connected to four other element runes. When I was on my phone, it would be a guess to assume it was fire, water, air, and earth. So I set it aside and picked up the marble. As soon as I touched the marble, It went into my hand. A moved my hand away and shouted, "I WONDER WHO IN THIER RIGHT MINDS SEND THIS PAINFUL STUFF!" When saying those words my hand felt like it was on fire. So I went to a sink and washed my hands to make sure it wasn't overheating. I started to get dizzy and I fell to the ground in deep pain. I didn't try to be awake and I went into a dark void. ------The Void (Mentioned not like 3 seconds ago)------ It was cold, And dark. I got up and found myself still looking the same. As soon as I lifted my head up, I see a woman about 5'9 with gray hair and bright white eyes. She was wearing a gray dress with white undershirt sticking out. "Hello Mythic. We are glad to finnaly meet a new person." She said in a calm voice which would in turn freak me out but when she said we I went pale. "That is right, but we are here to make a proposition for you and not do whatever you thought." I turned and see a man with brown hair and had a Athletic muscles. He wore some gray and green armor which made me more scared as to what would happen. "WOULD you just not BE so scared nitwit." I hear another man say next to me in a frustrated voice. When I saw him he had orange hair and had a leather armor with a red cape blowing behind him. His eyes freaked me out since they were just like a coal. "Incendia, don't be angry with him. He is just his normal human self. He isn't like you." I turned around and to see a woman with a light blue hair running down past her shoulders and she was wearing a dress that waved just like pond water. But her eyes had no pupils, and it was just blue. "Wait a moment! What are you all saying! I don't know what you want, but I don't have it!" I shouted. I was never into being dragged from my home, ending up in a black void, and seeing four mysterious people. "Well, as what I was saying, we wanted to ask you if you want to help the magical land of Equestria. So what is your answer on this?" The man with the brown hair said. "First, give me your names since you already know mine. Second, why did I get asked this question?" I responded since being a really careful person is required in this situation. "Well I am Humus. The first spirit of Earth." The man with the brown hair said. "I am Aqua. The first spirit of water." The woman with the blue hair said. "I am Ventus, the first spirit of air as you might have guessed." The woman with the gray hair said. "As you know my name from Aqua, I will tell you again. I am Incendia, the first spirit of fire." The Hot-tempered, angry person said. "Alright, now that the names are in order, we chose you because you are special, and you family is already there." I kept quiet for a sec and then said, "So basically, you choosed me because my family is there and I have a special gift." They nodded. "So you want to know my answer right?" They nodded again. "It is a yes you cruel people. You could have sent an e-mail and not drag me here you know." I then was set on fire. I didn't notice at first, but when an entire cloud was above my head, I smelled smoke. As soon as I did, I was drenched by the cloud. Everyone one of us looked towards Incendia. "What, he asked for it." "Yeah, stop that old trick. Now when am I going to leave the void and end up in Equestria?" "Now." As soon as he said that, I was pushed back by wind and into some portal I didn't see before.
