1 The Dream
In a castle, maids and servants are preparing for a special festival and the special person is lying in her room looking up at her parents from her cot.
"Happy 1st Birthday my Darling." A woman with brown hair sang to her baby girl.
A black hair man picks the baby girl up from the cot. "Look at her. She's already one. Time passes so fast. It feels like yesterday when she was born."
The woman smiles and tickles the baby. "Oh my King, she is our precious treasure. I do wonder who she will take on when she grows up."
The baby giggles and reaches out for her mother, but the King pulls her attention back to him by rubbing his nose on the baby's face. The baby grabs the King's mustache and pulls it.
The Queen laughs and gently removes the baby's hand away from her King's mustache. She brought out a rattle to distract the baby.
"Now I think she will be taking upon you, my queen." The King looked at the Queen knowingly.
"Nonsense, I think she will take after you with that innocent face of yours that I always glance upon when you did something in secret. Now let's get going for her first birthday ball."

"Presenting the Royal Majesties, King Ruan Zhong You, Queen Emilie Harvey, and Princess Alyssa Ruan."
Men and Women bow and curtsy as the Royal family descend from the stairs. Once they reach the bottom, a couple with a nine months old baby girl in the mother's arm walk towards them.
"Lea, you came." Queen Emilie Harvey exclaimed. She quickly rushes over to hug her best friend but be mindful of her dash as she is carrying Princess Alyssa Ruan.
"Of course, I need to come. This is my goddaughter's birthday. How can a godmother not attend her goddaughter's party?" Leanna Ng said to her best friend. She looks at the Princess, "Happy Birthday sweetheart. Now Marvin the present."
Marvin Wang smiled and reached into his vest pocket. He pulls out a seashell charm necklace and fastens it on Princess Alyssa Ruan's neck. "There, a bit loose but perfect."
"My my, it's so beautiful. I wonder where you get it, Marvin?" King Ruan Zhong You ask his brother-in-arms.
"I made it. I looked around the kingdom's beach to find the shell and mix it with silver, then craft it with my fire to create it." Marvin Wang proudly said. Then he looks at his daughter, "Our goddaughter and our daughter will both get their own charm necklace, each is one of a kind."
"Wow, and they will be best friends. Speaking of children, where is Ryker? Did you not bring him with you?" Queen Emilie Harvey asks, looking for her godson.
"He is with my parents now. They miss him and want to spend time with him." Marvin Wang said.
Queen Emilie Harvey pouted, "Aww, I miss that boy. It's been long since I last saw him."
Leanna Ng laughed, "Come on, you saw him last month. Now don't pout, let's go find our group." She grabs Queen Emilie Harvey's hand and together they walk over to their sisters.
King Ruan Zhong You look at Marvin Wang, "Shall we follow them and group up with our brothers?"

"Get to the portals immediately. Guards protect the people and yourselves as well. I want as few casualties as possible." King Ruan Zhong You bellowed, then he uses his element, Air, to push back an army of dark soulless children.
Women and men are hurrying to the portals to bring them to Earth. Amid the birthday celebration, a man wearing a mask enters and unleashes hundreds of feathers around him. Once the feathers touch the ground, they turn into dark children with no souls waiting for their master's command. Everyone knows there is dark magic at play and quickly acts in protecting themselves with their power. If a child touches them, they will succumb to their worst fear then slowly the heart will darken with despair and the person dies.
Elements start flying left and right. People who can't fight are hurrying down to the portal while those who can try to destroy the army while escaping.
The masked man looks around trying to find someone. Soon he spots the person he wanted, he shouts out, "Give me Princess Alyssa Ruan and I will stop the attack."
Standing shocked, Queen Emilie Harvey asks, "Why do you want my daughter?"
"My master wants her. She is the key to a new start. A person with two elements is so rare that she is the only one." The masked man looks at the Princess in the Queen's arm.
"The prophecy?" Leanna Ng standing beside Queen Emilie Ruan question.
"That's right. If she walks in the light, she will be good. But if she walks under darkness, she will be evil. And that's where she will be soon, evil for her life." The masked man laughs happily.
Scared for her child's future, she put Princess Alyssa Ruan into Marvin Wang's arms. "Get her out of this world till she is ready to come back when her power unlocks. We will be waiting for her. I trust you two with her or who you pass her to take care of."
Stroking her daughter's cheek, taking one last look at her darling daughter, she looks at her best friends, "Now go. I will hold him off. Get my daughter to safety."
