Elya found herself in the realm of eternity. She was super powerful. Attired in a luminous gown, she shimmered in sparkling phosphor waves. She was standing on what seemed like the surface of a crystal clear ocean of light. Around her were a myriad of beautiful beings, the Elements. They were hovering over the green waters, emitting wondrous lights, and a cacophony of sounds all around them. They were welcoming the Queen with their chanting, chiming voices that made sublime winds and waves upon the living ocean.
Essence remembered how she disintegrated into the invisible dimension, into the infinitesimal. The King went to search for her in the microcosm, and found her a tiny spark, a starry flower. She grew and blossomed, generating a myriad of fiery and watery beings. She became an underlying material of nature, and out of her essence grew the whole universe and the earth.
“I remember what happened,” said The Queen. "You walked upon the plane of existence, the foundation of the world was planted with your power. You breathed life into the ground and it germinated. A flower, a mysterious Rose grew and bloomed, its nectar was a source of immortality. The Elements' powers grew, developed and arranged the cosmos. Out of our power, the forces of fire and water, nature formed. And out of nature came living energies and the earth generated mankind. But something went wrong. A poisonous weed grew in the world which caused a disaster.”
"Yes, now you know the history of the universe,” said the King. “We must help the world we established, because a parasite is consuming it. A monster that feeds on life, a poison of mortality and death."
"Where did it come from?" Asked the Queen.
And at once, she knew. Evil lurked in the shadows of darkness, invisible and intangible, its abode was vast, empty space, devoid of life. It became an ominous source of hate, terror, fear and all consuming destruction.
"Magnium has become a terrifying power of death and destruction. He attacked our realm and many Elements have joined him." Revealed the King. "He is avenging us for his defeat by destroying the world. First he stole the secret of immortality from you. Then, he poisoned the world with impurity and mortality. He taught others his profane sorcery. And now it is our mission to help those that he harms."
"What exactly did he do, and how do we stop him?"
“He sabotaged the universe. He ruined life by implanting the seed of evil in the universe. He turned against us and turned others against goodness. This leads to destruction. Selfishness and evil lead to death; it is sacrificial love that persists forever. Let me show you.” Said the King.
Out of his hand a light emitted which turned into a sword. Energy threw the sword in front of him and it shattered like glass into a multitude of tiny shreds of stardust. The space between the King and the Queen was filled with mercurial radiation. It was the electromagnetic spectrum. It stood like a mirror wall between them. In it, they saw their own reflections.
The King stretched out his hand before him, and the mirror wall transmuted back into the sword.
“Look at this!” He said.
He threw the sword into the luminous ocean, and out of it came out a replica of the King, perfect and youthful, dressed in stealth armor.
Elya was amazed. She had seen that face before, it felt like she was his earthly mother.
"I am Adamantine." Said the youth, "I am your son."
“How can this be? I have never been a mother before, but I know you…”
“You have been a mother. You were the earth, which produced the perfect woman, from whom I incarnated.” Replied the Prince.
"Now that you are immortal again. We have a mission. To intercede for our universe," said the King to his Queen.
Essence was the supernatural Queen. She could materialize anything she imagined. She looked at her hand, and the crystal crown projected an object in her hand. It looked like a coiled sceptre. The memory of the universe, and all the information of life was contained in this sceptre. Essence held it in her hand, and she knew that this sceptre was the secret of immortality. It contained the history of the universe, and the earth. All that was, is and will be was recorded in the sceptre.
“Adamantine, stay and watch the realm in our stead.” The King told the Prince.
“Let’s venture into the world and help the mortals in their battle with evil.” Said the King to his Queen.
Energy swirled the sword and it turned into the radiant mirror. Essence touched it with her sceptre, and in an instant, they were transported from the realm of timelessness into a moment in time, as they interceded in the history of the universe.
It was a time shortly after people came into existence. A young boy, dressed in wild animal fur, was rushing, jumping from cliff to cliff. He was escaping a ferocious dragon in the sky. A creature said to be controlled by the evil god of the air. The monster attacked and almost burned the boy with his fiery breath, but the boy was protected by some unknown power. He was shielded by the unseen presence of the immortal King who stood between the dragon’s fire and the boy. It would have been certain death for the boy, had he not been saved by a divine hero. For a moment, the boy glimpsed, in the light rays of the setting sun, a shining figure, and then he was gone. Only the sun rays exuded a warm light upon the young boy’s face.
“Thank you,” said the boy to the unknown hero who saved him.
The boy ran towards the lake to drink some water. In the dusk, the stars and moon lit up the darkening sky, a serene and calm night filled with the enchanting sounds of nature. By the light of the moon, the boy saw huge lilies in the water. One of them opened up to the nocturnal rhythm of life, and a little girl came out of it.
“What is your name?” She asked the boy in a melodic voice.
“I don't know,” said the boy, “I am me.”
“I am Aya,” said the girl. She told him her story. How she hides from the dinosaurs and wild animals in the sanctuary of nature. How the good spirits protect and guide her from the evil ones. What Aya didn't know is that she is a secret Princess, with mysterious powers.
The King and Queen looked on invisibly at the children. They saw in them the innocence of children and a purity of heart. Essence knew that someday in the future, from these youths’ lineage - she would be born into the world.
