Today everything is very overwhelming and exhausting, the pace that people take, even for the souls of those who were reborn in the 21st century.
However, as time goes by, they think that among us there are beings that have been accompanying us since the creation of the same planet and that they are very important for the conservation of this world in which we live, they are: the elementals.
Yes, some of them know their history that has been passed from generation to generation but most are unaware of them, believing that they are only a myth created by older adults so that young people fear those four who will punish the evil that lives in the land.
The beginning of the history of these four beings dates back to the creation of the planet, a few hours after the big bang.
The world was created to be a habitable place for man, but in the beginning he did not have what we see now. He was desolate and lifeless, like just another huge rock in that vast space full of shining stars and varied in their kind, but a being of greater authority and divinity decided to create 4 very special children, who would represent an element: earth, fire, air and water.
The supreme being called "god" took small rocks from the moon and began to mix them with in a large container from which he only made a mixture of a white color and with it he only began to give them the shape of two small ones to which he gave one element to each, which were: water and air.
Having the two figurines made, he only looked up to the sky again to find what component he could create the other two from, since the elements that were missing were warm. Running a hand through his great gray beard, he only analyzed each star until he reached the sun.
He was perfect, and without hesitation he only took a small fragment of the great fiery star and repeated the same process to make the other two children, to whom he gave the other two remaining elements.
When the time came to leave them lying in that sterile place and without any life hanging around, he blew on them and the four of them only got up and then looked at their creator, who gave them an order. They just nodded and started running and playing to begin their work.
-Earth got up last, earth takes it! .- the boy shouted while he looked at his other two companions.- Come on Fire and Air, run! .- Water asked them.
Aire arched an eyebrow and looked at Agua with great curiosity and then questioned him.- Why should we run?"
-Because it's a game,.- she answered while his face reflected a big smile.
- If it's a game, that's fine. - this time Fire spoke.
- Do I just have to catch them? .- asked Earth somewhat confused.
-Yes.- replied Water, who just started running.
-Okay, here I go!.- Earth yelled with a big smile.
The children only began to run while their creator carefully observed each other's behavior.
Water running without seeing where she was stepping, only fell off a cliff, but from the shock that space was filled with water making it float and rise to the surface to see Earth.
While air and fire continued to run, they realized that at her feet there was something green sprouting from the ground and that different unknown plants were coming out.
His walk was stopped when he saw his two companions seeing the sea that had formed, which they took as a victory for them.
-Earth caught Water, de won!.- Fire smiled triumphantly.
From the emotion of him, he only took his companion by the hands to start spinning, causing the place to be filled with light and a comforting breeze.
On the other hand, his creator was only satisfied with what the elements had done, so, more calmly, he left them there to go and create humans.
With the passing of time, the first settlers began to appear, the children were only filled with curiosity when they saw their actions but Earth always reminded them that they should not approach them by order of their own creator.
Air accepted and carried out the orders that had been imposed on them and that is why she observed those unknown beings from the top of a mountain, her change in behavior was very drastic so much that Agua was worried, causing one day to follow her to the place where looked at humans.
-Air, are you okay?.- Asked Water, who only limited himself to seeing her friend.
-Yes, but ...- the little girl just got up from the ground to face her friend.- Water.. why are they different from us? ...
That question flooded the boy with doubts, causing him to start raining because of his confusion.While on the other side of the mountain were Earth and Fire trying to protect themselves from the rain, so they entered the cave where they lived.
-Fire? ...- The girl only observed the boy who kept a face full of concern.- Where are they?
- I don't know, but they worry me a bit.- the boy replied, still without looking at her. - Shall we look for them?
-Yes! Remember that we must be together- said the little girl with a big smile.
They were about to leave that cave to look for the other two, but they arrived together without talking about the matter and their doubts.
The days passed and thanks to Air and Water, Fire and Earth were involved in the observation and analysis of the behavior of those they called humans, causing them to be curious about their way of acting.
-They are strange ...- said fire when he saw a couple.- but, the strangest thing about them is the way they behave.- he looked at his friends.- What do you guys think about that?
Water and Earth only exchanged glances and only answered simply:
- I dont know
On the other hand, Air was lost in her thoughts, until she remembered the words of her creator. So clear was the answer, that even her father had told them how they were different from humans, so she decided to remind them.
-They're not weird ...- the three of them just looked at her and she looked at them.- We are ...
Those words caused her friends to begin to doubt her existence, her head began to fill with questions that resounded like an echo with simple questions such as: why weird? Do they have something that we don't ? Questions that were born from doubt that did not come to light since Aire spoke again when they saw them so lost.
-They are complete creations- she said pointing towards the civilization that was under the mountain. - I heard that they have something called love ....
- Love? - Fire asked.- What is that?.- She looked at civilization.
- Isn't it that strange behavior that men have with women?.- Earth asked as she watched the same couple.
- So ... if we want to be a complete creation ... must we feel that thing called love? .- asked Fire.
- If we want to find out why they are different from us, we must act like them.- answered Aire.
The four of them only looked at each other to agree to what Air said, and they did not wait long to start imitating people but it was too difficult for them to match feelings and adapt to the concepts they had.
Time passed quickly and they were maturing, and growing as if they were a human, even that feeling called love was developed only by two of those who were previously children and now they were young.
Fire and Air, were those who had managed to feel love, but not between them, but had fallen in love with some "simple humans", according to Earth and Water.
The two elements tried to have a loving relationship, Fire with a beautiful maiden, and Air with a very chivalrous and beautiful man. His feelings were reciprocated, but divine punishment was sent by his father, who sent a serious illness to the couples of the elements.
The two sinners were called to a court where they would be sentenced for sin, worrying their other two friends, who were fearful of that situation in front of the man who had created them.
- Do you have anything to say about his impure behavior?.- Asked the older man, or do you want me to dictate their punishment?
Fire just looked away, but Air took courage enough and spoke without thinking about the consequences this would bring.
-I was jealous ...- he replied with a serious face. - They had that feeling that we did not know ... that's why we decided to imitate them.
- Jealousy? .- asked the man a little confused at that term.
-Yes, we were jealous.- she affirmed.- that they had that beautiful feeling, that's why we went against your rules.
-Air, but if you are complete beings, why would you want to feel love? - The man only arched an eyebrow to wait for a specific answer, but when he did not respond, Air decided to clarify things a bit.- I know you are curious, but you are different beings from them, that is why you cannot mix with them.
Earth hearing the words of the creator of her only raised her hand to get her attention.
- So we are like an animal?.- She said a little worried.- Should we only be with one of them?" She said to point to Fire and Water as if it were the worst thing that could happen to him.
- They are not animals, but in what you must relate to each other, you are right.- answered the older.
Water upon hearing that only questioned with joy the creator of it .- So if I stay with Air?
The man only passed his hand over his chin, but when he got an answer he decided to communicate it to the young people.
- No, she cannot be with you - that clarification caused the water smile to fade, which the man did not care about.- since you and she are elements that belong to the moon, while Fire and Earth belong to the Sun.
-And what does that mean?.- This time Fire spoke, provoking a look of annoyance from the older man.
- That if one does not obey, it can cause a catastrophe, since they are part of the sun and the moon ...- he hesitated for a few moments but was forced to speak, as Fire continued to reflect confusion on his face. - because you were created with fragments of those two stars, so Fire and Earth are brothers, like Air and Water .....
This clarification caused more doubts to emerge, so they tried to question the older one, which they were unable to do, since he ignored them to think about what sentence he should put on the two sinners.
- Fire and Air, you will carry that sin that you committed by loving those mortals, so you will be condemned to spend the rest of your life together, whether you want to or not. -When he saw the faces of the young people he decided to put more conditions.- They will be reborn and die together, if they were born in different places, you will meet again.
"I will not comply," said Air who was upset by those words of his creator.
-Don't ask if you wanted, it's an order.- When she saw his creations again, she decided to impose something else on them.- Also, when they fall in love with a mortal and they reciprocate, but fate will cause something bad for that person.
The two elements only sweated cold at those words, since they did not want what they had witnessed to happen again.
After decreeing the punishment, a light was present and covered the two and then disappeared from the sight of their creator.
