If I can impact one person, just one, with my writing before I die, then I've lived a great life
Apollo Ignus: :
Most Immortals these days, used cars, and such. Apollo though, had read about Immortals that could move faster, in the war. He had read about flight. And He liked flight. There were two kinds of Flight elements... air, and fire.
It was faster than a car, but it used energy, this didn't really bother Apollo, since he had the tendency to cut his enemies, than burning them. So he flew. Emitting fire with such pressure, that it kept him moving and up.
It wasn't too long when he noticed the town, and even less time to spot Brystines car. It wasn't too hard, she liked flames. Her car was a real insight to her soul. Apollo lowered himself, and then dropped all together. The car jerked. Brystine spun her head around, her eyes widening. "Apollo, what the hell are you doing here?!"
"Looking for a girl."
Brystine grimaced "Go away, I don't need your help."
"Someone in the council begs to differ," Apollo answered, in a overly cheery voice, that he knew would irritate Brystine... He enjoyed irritating her.
Brystine scowled at him.

"Walk with me, Martin." The councilman said, not waiting to see whether he'd follow. Martin did. Master Onwas gestured a little as he spoke, the air currents around him sweeping leaves and stones up in an idle dance about his hands. "It seems that Drake, who is busy protecting a young human woman, has become the object of the attentions of multiple agents of Darkness. Would you mind, how do I put this, clearing the way for him?"
Martin shrugged, "It depends. Is the council leaning towards further diplomatic action with the Dark?"
Onwas paused for a few moments, as if considering his answer, and then shook his head. "We have exhausted all diplomatic channels. They seem to want war, and have broken every treaty of the last five years."
Martin sighed, "So I suppose they'll be trying to hurt me, then." Onwas nodded, and Martin left to make his preparations to leave. Now all he had to do was find Drake and set himself between the air immortal and their enemies. Most of the Dark immortals underestimated him as a water user, but it was actually an immensely dangerous element. It was in the air, always available to draw on. Even more dangerously, it constituted a large percentage of their anatomy, and an unscrupulous user could do horrible things to someone. Martin had never been cruel enough to kill that way before, but he was certainly capable of dizzying his opponents, or making them violently sick by disrupting the flow of water in their bloodstream or elsewhere.

Drake
Rose was freaking out in my car. I sighed. She was asking my questions I couldn't answer...yet.
"How were you doing that? What's going on?" She asked. Rose seemed dazed. I smiled sadly. She had a wonderful life before all of this. A safe one. I consider all humans blessed for not having to put upwith it. Too bad I had to ruin all of that and tell her all her grandmother's stories were true. And that now, her life was in danger. Poor Rose.
"Why aren't you answering me! Drake...you're speeding! What are you trying to do kill me!?" She shouted. I covered my grin. I was actually trying to do the opposite. A car crash wouldn't even hurt me. She's forgetting that I control the element air. Or maybe she's not forgetting. Maybe she just dosen't want to know.
Brystine
"Get out of here Apollo," I said calmly. My red hair, so much like fire, was swirling around my face. I was livid. I was going to get the girl and I was going to kil Drake. He had aused me too much trouble today.
"I don't think so," he smiled. "It seems you were beat by a...air immortal" He laughed and fire erupted around me, surrounding me. I loved fire and it loved me. I might just have o use it to teah Apollo a lesson.
"Yes. An air immortal who caught me off guard. Maybe that's your problem Apollo. Maybe you misjudge people," I said, shrugging. Then I grinned. "Or maybe you're just weak. I never thought a fire immortal could be weak, but I guess you proved me wrong."
Apollo stopped laughing at once and his face flushed. I inclinde my head and smilde softly. Two can play at his little game. I would win his so called game. I always won. He started to say something else and I interrupted him.
"Love to stay and shat, Apollo, but I've got a human to catch, so if you don't mind," I fly into the air. I know that's how he traveled and it might just grate on his nerves if I traveled his way. I smiled and shot off, after Drake.

I watched as Bristyne shot off down the street after Drake, but I didn't follow. I honestly didn't want the girl to be caught by her. She would probably be killed before she got to the council.
I turned back and started to walk the other way. It was a slightly chilly day, and I pulled my sweatshirt closer to me. Why were we doing this? I asked myself for the thousandth time in a week. This war, what was the point? Even if one side wins, the other will come back stronger and it would start all over again. If only Markus and Michael were still alive, then this wouldn't even be going on.
Tears pricked my eyes at the thought of Markus, the only man that I ever loved, gone forever. He was killed accidentally by someone on the light side, his brother Michael killed by someone on the dark side. That is what started this war. We were all fine with each other, but after their deaths...
I sighed. Nothing would ever be the same again. The democracy on both sides weren't working. It was better as a monarchy.
I found myself in the park and sat down on a bench and looked up to the sky. It was days like this that made me think that it was worth living. The sky was a crisp blue with little wisps of white running through them. The leaves were on fire, gleaming with shades of bright and dark reds, golds, and browns. There was a light breeze and children ran around with one another, laughing and smiling with not a care in the world. I was jealous of them. I couldn't really remember my own childhood, aside from training and a few friends. The innocence of childhood...I wished I had it, but I didn't. My heart froze when Markus died in my arms and told me he loved me one last time. This war had almost frozen the fountain of emotions that I once had. I looked up once more to the sky and whispered, "I love you Markus.
I love you."
*Rose*
Drake pulled into a drive and stopped. As soon as he stopped, I bolted from the car. I tried to run as fast as I could, but he caught me.
"Let me go!" I screamed at him, struggling wildly. "Why are you doing this? LET GO OF ME!!!"
He didn't even hesitate to take me into the house that he had pulled up to. He kicked open the door and dragged me into a small living room where there was a chair and small table sat up. He sat me down in the chair and I tried again to get up, but a firm hand in the middle of my chest kept me from going anywhere.
"I'm sorry for doing this to you Rose." Drake said as he tied me up. "But you must understand that this is for your safety."
"You are such a creeper!" I screamed at him. I kept struggling as he walked out of the room My mind was racing wildly. What was going on? Who was that chick with fire? Who was the water girl? Did I really see a guy in armor as the car sped down the road?
Drake came back in with a girl who was honestly kind of scary looking.
"This is her." he said, sitting down on the couch.
"Really?" the girl asked. "I thought that she might be...more quiet."
"Eliza, she just got taken against her will. I think that any girl would be quiet."
"I could make her shut up if you wanted me to..." she said, her voice trailing off suggestively, but Drake just shook his head.
I kept struggling and shouting curses at him. "I swear Drake, when I get out of here, you are sooo fucking dead! I'm gonna kill you dead!!"
The two looked at each other. Eliza burst out laughing and Drake covered his mouth, but I cold tell that he was smiling, which pissed me off even more. "You son of a bitch, you're laughing at me!" I screeched. When they kept laughing, tears came to my eyes and rolled down my cheeks. "I hate you, Drake, I hate you..." I said sobbing.
He had been irritated when he saw Brystine take off. It was true, he was weak. But not strength wise. His fire ability just wasn't that good. Sure he could fly and light up his armor and sword, but he couldn't turn buildings into ashes and all that kind of crazy exploding fire, only dedicated (except lighting up himself) type of work.
But he had started to smile soon afterwards. Brystine had left him alone in her car... with the keys.
He was already driving with it. He heard screaming.
"LET ME GO!" a woman's voice. He turned the car.
I saw Drake laughing with some other woman that I hadn't seen before, Rose was in his car.
"I hate you, Drake, I hate you..." Rose said sobbing.
That was when Drake saw me.
I turned the car at him, and pushed the pedal to the metal. The car accelerates at Drake, he gathered air around himself, and jumped away. I also jumped off the car, the other woman got slightly hit by it, before the car crashed onto the wall behind her.
Brystine was going to be so´pissed off.
Drake looked at the car for a second "Brystine will kill you,"
"She can try," I took a step at Rose, Drake came in between us.
"I thought you didn't want to get involved,"
"But I already am,"
"If I take her, she might live. If you take her Brystine will catch you, kill you and then the girl."
"She might live," Drake agreed, "And I might take my chances,"
Apollo pulled out his sword, "Drake, we both know that my fire skill isn't that big... But even the delicate things can prove to be deadly,"
Drake took a defencive position. That's when the other woman attacked.

Okay, for arguements sake, we'll just say that Apollo drove Brystine's car to Eliza's and crashed it. (: Is that alright with everyone?
Drake
"Eliza, get Rose and get out!" I shouted at her, over the air that was circling me.
"No. I'm with you and I'm here to fight," she responded. I sighed. She was always like this. Apollo grinned at us and lit himself on fire. I whipped the air around him, smothering some of it.
A window busted and Brystine strode in looking as dangerously beautiful as ever. Flames danced up her arms, almost lovingly and she smiled cruely.
"Did I miss anything?" Her brown eyes met Rose's and she laughed. A sound that sent shivers down my spine. "Look you wrapped up the little human for me. I must find a way to thank you!"
"Don't bother," I replied stepping up to her, blocking Rose from her view. "You want her? Try and get her. First you'll have to find a way past me." She cocked an eyebrow and grinned.
"Oh really? Well, I'll only be killing two birds with one stone. Or should I say one immortal and one human bitch. I'll get the imformation and then I'll make her suffer the worst death imaginable. I've been embarresed too many time today. Drake, you know I'll kill you. I'm stronger," she laughed. She said it so plainly. I knew it was true. She was dangerous. One of the scariest immortals I've ever met but somehow I ignored that. I only thought of saving Rose. I had to.
The door flew open and another man walked in. Martin! Brystine, angrily threw flames my way and his. I smothered it with air and the battle began. Eliza with Apollo and Brystine with myself. And Martin in the middle of it all. I had to get Rose out of here, but I couldn't abandon the others.

Apollo:
He blocked one of the woman's hits with his sword when he saw the door open. Martin walked in.
Oh come on! He thought. The house was already burning from Byrstines fireballs. Apollo sighed, this way the girl would burn before, they could get the information out of her.
He saw Eliza throw a wall at him...
A freaking wall. Apollo jumped onto the ground, just in time to feel the ground under him rumble. He rolled around, a giant spike shot up from the place he had just been on.
"Holy crap," he breathed. He spun up, he saw Drake going for the girl, Martin was starting to fight Byrstine.
"Shit," he exclaimed.
He lifted his arm, he might not be strong with the fire, but this didn't require strength, a white flame shot from his arm, almost impossible to see and easily overcoming a thousand Celsius. And Drake ran straight at it. Drake was caught up on the flame before he was able to see it, he screamed in agony. Apollo took up his sword arm, but didn't go to Drake but instead turned towards Eliza. He ran at her, and brought his flaming sword don at her with incredible strength and speed, given to him by the fire. Eliza deflected it with her palms. They were stone hard, but still, Apollo heard a crack. He smiled, and then Eliza kicked him in the groin.
"OUCH!" he shouted and fell back. "That was not fair,"
Eliza smiled. Apollo too smiled, "Oh yeah... Your shirts on fire."
Eliza's eyes widened and she looked down, her stone hard skin hadn't felt the fire on her shirt. It had already burned it almost off, and now she started to feel it. She ripped the shirt off.
Apollo still holding onto his aching groin smiled, "You look so much better without the shirt,"
Eliza growled and ran at him, fist pulled back.
"Now, now. Your not the only one on fire," He pointed at Drake."
Eliza looked at Drake, who was flailing his arms calling the air to smolder the fire around him.
Apollo kicked Eliza. She landed down with an "oof,"
Without celebration Apollo ran to rose and grabbed her. "Sorry girl, we've gotta go,"
"LET ME GO!" she screamed.
"I always liked screamers," Apollo smiled under his helmet.
"Brystine, I've got her!" He shouted at brystine who was still fighting with Martin.
"Dammit," he cursed... And jumped out of the window, leaving Brystine alone, Drake burning, Eliza trying to help the burning Drake, and Martin fighting Brystine... And with a painful groin.
He landed onto the ground, softening his landing with the fire, he let the girl go, and untied her.. She kicked him onto the groin, "What is it? National `kick the groin day´?" He doubled, Rose tried to ran, but even with his armor, Apollo could outrun her.
"Rose. Come with me, otherwise, you might die."
"You killed Drake!" She screamed at him, tears flowing from her eyes.
"Naah, You'd need a lot more than a few high degree burns to kill Drake, I merely pissed him off." And maybe hurt him a tiny bit," He said.
"IT HURTS GODDAMN IT!" He heard Drake shout.
"Well maybe a bit more than only a tiny bit."
Rose looked at him, "Why, who are you people, why are you doing this to me."
Apollo came closer to her "Because you know something you shouldn't."
To copy reality is good... But to create reality is much, much better. -Giuseppe Verdi-
When he'd decided to go to Eliza to find out where Drake ad the human girl were, he hadn't expected to find his targets. Nor, for that matter, had he expected to find Brystine and Apollo. Not that he was complaining, they were fire, he was water. By default, he should win.
But Brystine was fast, going straight onto the attack. Fireballs shot towards him, and it was all he could do to create a shield of water from that in the air, and her heat was burning away the moisture fast. Worst of all, it wasn't long before Apollo had grabbed Rose out from under two immortals and dived out the window. Looks like I've got to get involved in this screw up.
"Eliza!" He yelled out. She looked up from where she was trying to help Drake, and he smiled apologetically, "I'll cover the cost, okay?"
She frowned, "Hold on...what?" But she barely got the last word in, because at that moment, every pipe in the house ruptured, and water shot out from the walls and floor and ceiling in thousands of tiny geysers. All four immortals were drenched in an instant, an excellent outcome for Drake and Martin in particular. Not so good for Brystine, who screamed in rage as she lost so much of her efficacy in a single, terrible strike.
Eliza didn't look terribly pleased either. Martin had effectively managed to destroy her home in that same attack.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Brystine screamed, steam rising off her body as she burned the water away.
"Aww," Martin teased, grinning at her, "And I thought you were starting to like me."
She let out a frustrated scream and launched another fireball at him, which he blocked with multiple jets of water. He laughed, "You've got nothing in here, Brystine!" the jets all twisted midair, shooting towards the fire immortal. When they hit, Martin was already diving out the window, seeing Apollo advancing on Rose.
Martin grabbed a hose and aimed it at Apollo, "Back down now, buddy, or I'll set the pressure behind this so high that you won't be able to move for months."

Apollo:
He stared at the hose.
"Come on Martin, I've already been kicked to the groin today... TWICE!"
"Well boohoo. Step back."
Apollo grimaced, there was little he could do. He took a step back. Martin smiled. Apollo threw a fire ball at him. Martin shot with the hose, and Apollo caught Rose... And flew.
"Try and follow me here!" He shouted. Martin cursed, he shot some of the water at Apollo. Apollo evaded it just in time, but was pushed further by the pressure of the blast.
"Don't be stupid! You'll kill the girl!"
He took some distance. Smiling smugly. Rose looked at him, eyes wide "We're flying?"
"Yes we are."
To copy reality is good... But to create reality is much, much better. -Giuseppe Verdi-
I was the only one who could help Rose now. I was the onlly one, beside Brystine, who could fly.
"Keep Brystine busy," I yelled to the others. The nodded and watched my fly. The air carresed my burned skin. I couldn't worry about that. I had to save the girl.
"It'll take a little more than your flames to hurt me bad enough to take me out of this," I said softly. He had really pissed me off and I was going to get Rose if it killed me. I had to save her. I fly towards him and he held the girl up and smiled.
"Wouldn't want to hurt her now would you?" He asked. I pursed my lips. I knew what I had to do. Wind spun around us, dangerously fast. Apollo whipped his head around at the leaves and swirling wind. I was creating a tornado...aaround them.
I shot forward and grabbed Rose, tearing her from his grip. The tornado whipped around him and he fell.The winds were too strong. I flew foward and didn't stop.
"Don't let them come after me," I yelled to Martin and Eliza. "I'm taking Rose somewhere safe. I'll have to call you both later."
With that I shot foward without looking behind me. I knew that Martin would handle Apollo and Eliza would handle Brystine. I just had to get out of here. I just hoped my burn healed soon.
Brystine
"Shit," I whispered as Drake flew off. I looked towards Eliza. I was going to kill her for getting in my way...and Marvin for making a fool of me. I tried to fly up up Marvin shot me down.
"Going somewhere princess?" He asked, sarcastically. So he was the first who wanted to die.
"Princess?" I responded grinning. "Don't you think I'm more of a queen?" I felt the fire engulf me. It wrapped around me and was gaining in depth and height.
"I wouldn't say that. You'd be much stronger," Martin replied. The fire grew higher and I shot out trendils of flames towads him. I knew he could feel the heat and it would be difficult to put this out with his little jets of water.
"I think I'm strong enough," I said calmly, even though I was pissed. I was one of the strongest fire immortals. Stronger than Apollo and half of the council! "At least strong enough to kill an immortal. A water immortal."

Apollo:
"At least strong enough to kill an immortal. A water immortal." Brystine shouted when Apollo knocked her on the head. Her whole body became limb, and she fell. Apollo grabbed her, and threw her over his shoulder.
Martin looked at him confused.
"The girl got away, we failed our mission, we have no further business with you," he nodded at them.
Martin seemed to relax, but Eliza didn't.
"I say, we get rid of the armored man."
Apollo smiled at her, "And I kill us all with a burst of fire." She closed her mouth.
He walked to the door "Oh yeah. You look good without the shirt." He ran down the stairs, but was able to hear Eliza screaming curses at him. Once he got out, he took off and started to fly.
