It was late in the night when it happened. Although there were no witnesses to the crime, it is not like there were that many left.

Disfigured bodies would be found piled up on the top of the stairs of the air temple, their blood would be enough to be flowing like a river down the stairs.

Nothing was untouched, every thing was burned in some way or maimed. The beauty of the realm was tainted by this terrible act. Even though the Entire place was in the air parts of it were bending, threatening to break off and descend into the void. The very magic that had held it together was unbalanced, such are the ways of chaos.

Any Survivors that would be found would be covered with ashes and their own wounds, burn wounds to be exact. Most of these people would have had been driven close to being insane due to what they had seen.

The flames were a bright purple an the lit up the sky with a gloomy glow that just seemed to make the night even worse than it was.

Inside the Temple of the air the offense was the worst of all. The Guardians were not present and their chairs had been completely smashed into splinters, all of them blackened by fire. The Orb once blue and Grey was cracked all the way through the middle and had nothing to show but black on the outside. It was obvious that most of its power had fled from being destroyed and had to be regathered. Blood was on the walls of the temples. Defiling any holiness and respect it may have had, every statue had its heads cut off, replaced with flaming skulls that did nothing but constantly scream and breathe black flames.


This nightmare vision would not have been complete with out a few weapons that were only used by those that worshiped the element of fire and death would be found as some of the solders who left, forgot their weapons in the ensuing celebration of their overwhelming victory.....


After this night, peace would be a thing of the past.

Too late.

She was always too late as it seemed.

The orange glow of a rising sun did nothing to raise the spirits of those around. Covered from head to toe in ash, dirt, blood - most not her own, and her eyes glassy from unshed tears, she unceremoniously sat down on a stair that was not demolished.

The pain of her realm, and her people, still weighed on her being. Perhaps if she was here when it started... things would have not ended this way..

By the time the wounds of her land reached her, she was far too late. Those who destroyed her people and home were quick, doing their horrid tasks before leaving the scene. She arrived to the ultimate level of panic, given the role of those still alive, tending their wounds, as well as their tormented minds.

Other Guardians had come to help with the balance of the elements before buildings broke and fell to the bottomless sky. Shelters were quickly arranged, as she organized people into families, to bring as much comfort as she could, though she could not take away the damage in so many eyes away. They had all seen what she had not, something she would always regret.

She did not allow the shock to creep on her. She had to be with her people first and foremost, doing everything to help them now, to be the leader they were looking for.

Once another came to relieve her, she was set to the gruesome task following the red river to the bodies, identifying those she could. She looked at the malicious deed with cold eyes, watching as several loved ones meet death far before their time. Among them was Lukas, the only Guardian at the Temple, more than likely giving his last breath to protect what he cared for.

It was after that, seeing what should and could have been her fate, that she turned and headed inside the temple, leaving the others to continue the task. The Temple was the quiet to the point of hearing her silent footsteps. She ignored most of the blood markings along the blackened walls, her direction straight the Chambers.

It was empty, all that remained were the wooden splinters of chairs, and an orb no longer holding the power it once did. A remain of the purple fire caught her attention, and her steel greys locked as she twisted elements within her own to kill the killer. The weapons of the intruders caught her attention, leaning down to peer at familiar weapons.. but purple flames? It did not make sense.

Not until she reached the orb. She touched it once, the cracked surface bringing a cold chill down her spine as she brought her finger away. Her grey eyes widened at the meaning.

Only Chaotics could drain their gift in this way.

Leaving what she had found in the room, she left the Temple, passing by many and just shaking her head at their questionable looks. Her hands fisted, short fingernails biting the inside of her palms as she turned the corner to head for the eastern enterance of the Temple.

It was here that she remained, letting a trickle of her emotions out, mourning the fateful events of the night.
