Episode 01
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Young Drake ran away from that man. That man approached him during his break saying he wants to him a story. He ran away to his classroom where his teacher had already started class.
"Teacher, teacher, that man over there told me a story that is not true!"
The teacher looked at him then looked over to the man sitting on the benches. She went over to him and talked to him for a few minutes. The class stared in silence.
The man nodded, and left. The teacher came back, saying, "Let's resume class." Drake sat down uncomfortably.
Today, we are going to learn about the 8 Elements of the Physical Realm. They are the following elements:
Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Lightning, Ice, Lava, and Nature.
"What about bugs, shadow,psychic,meta-"
"Those are not elements, Gerrard, this is not pokemon."
"Oh ok..
"
"How about heart?"
"... thats an ancient cartoon over 1000 years ago."
"Wow! You knew!?"
".. Anyways, as users of Magic, we have to learn about all of the 8 elements. This is a graph to explain how these works against each other:
This is the chart of the 8 Elements of the Physical Realm. Each element's weakness is the element it's opposing side. Actually, there are only water elements, Fire, Water, Air, Earth, but 2 of these elements combine to form the other 4 elements. As humans, we utilise one of these 8 elements. Your teacher is a Earth Elemental user, watch.
We feel the classroom raising up. The teacher was raising the height of the ground below.
"Teacher, you mean each of us only can possess 1 element?"
"Yes. There are not enough power in humans to possess multiple elements. Observant, Lance."
Lance looked down on his desk.
Drake: "How do we choose which element we want?"
The teacher replied : "Yes I was going to talk about that. We cannot choose which element we want. It is also undetermined what factor cab influence whether a user has magic or none. It is also harder to determine which element the user possess within."
"How do you realise that, teacher?"
"You will learn how to reach out for Magic during lesson, and you will feel a power when you reach out for your magic, then you will see what magic it is."
"Teacher, when you realise you had Earth Element, were you happy?"
"Initially not. I wanted something cooler, but I learnt to love it."
"Wow, I sure want the fire element."
"Interesting Drake, let's see whether your interests will influence which element you will wield."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Today, I will talk about Fire, which is Drake's favourite element, and also alot of others' favourite element. Fire is always believed to be the strongest in doing harm. So Fire users have to be careful with it. Now this is one interesting thing about Fire. Even though the chart determines Fire's weakness to be Water, Fire has no real weakness actually. Fire burns through anything. Against odds, all it has to do is increase its fire. With enough intensity, Fire can even burn through water and the strongest metal of this realm. You will understand that next time the Passion of Fire."
"The Passion of Fire?" A female classmate asked.
"I can't explain it to you now. You will have to experience the sight yourself.<.........> I hope all of you, whatever element you get, possess this burning passion.
Now this female classmate, her name is called Luna. (Author: This story is a original story. There are no relations to any real life things or games, which includes all warcraft maps) She is quite an active student in class, always curious. She isn't that smart in her grades though, and when during Physical Training exercise, she always seems to be the last few. But she always tries her best.
Teacher: "Well I know I repeated it several times, but I still have to tell you why this Passion of Fire is so important. So I'm going to tell you all a story now, and hopefully you can see the reason behind it."
"10 years ago, there was a great Fire Magician by the name of Leika. He was a powerful leader. Everyone says his army is unstoppable. During the Great Continent War, Leika's army was being sent out the most. Now the strange thing is, his army was sent out over twice more than others, and without a single day of rest at home. Each time their army reached home, Leika get summoned by the commander and were told they were to attack a new enemy. His army morale dropped considerably, but the miracle is, they had never lost a single battle, even though they had one of the biggest losses of casualities in history. It was a huge army to begin with, 200,000 men, but as time goes by, despite the fact it reduced to only 10,000 men, they still managed to conquer the armies of 50,000! Everyone wonders how he did it. Everyone that doesn't know him closely. Well the fact is, I was in his army, as an offensive magician. I lasted through miraculously. The secret behind our victories is, his powerful Passion. Despite the fact ALL of us losing our willpower, he always somehow make us remember about the things we had to protect. the families, the friends, are all in our hands. We all supported each other in battle, and we charged with unison strength, thus we were all rather willing to sacrifice ourselves than our friends. The magic behind this is his unstoppable Passion.
Our last battle is against General Cardell of the Water. Initially he told us, this might be a huge battle, not because it was a wrong element, he had a 200,000 men army. It was overwhelming odds for our remaining 8,000. But he told us "Show these 200,000 people, how much you want to see your families! Your loved ones! Your friends! This will be the time to tell the world, how much you love them!" and we charged with our full strength. All support Magics has been called upon, and we engaged them.
Obviously, despite the fact we are highly motivated, and you usually can win this way in animes, we are getting pushed back severely. General Leika was fighting in the frontlines as hard as he can. I used all my strength for my Earth Magic, calling boulders, shaking the earth, open up some of the ground, but they have much more people that can do the same things too. I was enduring the water waves, thunder bolts, and I had to raise an Earth Barrier an uncountable times. I was exhausted, everyone was exhausted, and that was when...
<...>
General Leika called up a huge wall of fire.We could see it very clearly with our eyes, a huge inferno rising up at the frontlines. Cardell immediately called for his waves of tsunami to break it down, but we could hear Leika saying "This will be my last strength!" and we could see the wall was weakening by the two times higher tsunami waves. Some of us tried blocking the waves with our Magics too. But apparently, we were losing, and we will all die in this battle. But the wall turned white. A white flame, a wall of Intensity Flame. Then it turned blue. Nova flame. Finally, Black. Never witnessed in history before. Fire so powerful it turned black. A blue flame has the temperature of the brightest star in space. Who knows what a black flame is. The wall moved forwarad and the whole enemy army casted their defensive Magics. I see sprouts of trees, walls, and tornadoes, to break this wall down. But nothing can break how much this man loved his people. Leika had a deep love for his people. It is what maintained us all in this War. It is also how we had an unbroken record. It is now what Leika actually gave up his body to call a Fire whose temperature exceeded the hottest star. It swept through the enemy's armies, nothing remained. A real massive casuality. We do not know whether to be happy or sad so many lives were lost. No one feels good about a war.
As we got back, the commander was already sentenced to death for jealousy against Leika, which was the reason why we were sent out for battle without a single rest. Leika's close friend went to arrange a grand funeral for Leika, and the whole city came to send him off. He loved his people dearly, and gave his life in action.
<...>
So class, this is the Passion of Fire. It does not really mean you have to give your life to it. But as long as you loved dearly what you want, your fire has NO weakness.
Luna: That is a very touching story. You were close friends with him?
Teacher: Yes, Leika treated us like close friends. The whole army were as united as one.
Any more questions?
Tomorrow I will teach the class about Water."
"Thank you, Teacher."

"Ok, where do we go today?" Drake asked.
"Hey, I want to buy something for someone."
"Who?"
Feragon , his meaning of fun is something beyond our age. Our parents always told us 12 year olds should study hard and not be bothered relationships. Feragon, however, didn't really care about that. His philosophy : Get as much fun as possible while you are young.
Feragon: "Luna! That hot chick!"
"... chick?"
"Never mind, none of you can understand anyways. Quick let's hit the mall."
Feragon ran to flag down a cab. One of the flying cabins in the air linked a line down to the ground and travelled down.
Feragon: "Look, I'll pay for it. So come on."
