Day Fourteen: Wind (7th of August) (metaphorically)

Thunder rumbled across Venus, making the frightening night look clear as day. The sky was bloody red with puffs of charcoal gray. The ground began to split, then shatter, causing all buildings to collapse and fall into the unknown.

“Mama, when will this treachery end?” Earth questioned, her multi colored eyes wide with fright.

“ I cannot keep going, mother, father is slowing down time as we speak. With that advantage, he is merely catching my lightning bolts as if it were a game!” growled Air, her hair transforming snow white.

“Be patient my children, it will end soon,” replied Spirit soothingly. “Remember, this is all but a distraction. Let us wait for your brothers to join us, and then we shall start the ritual. Soon, very soon, I shall destroy him,” she continued.

A huge circle of fire appeared out of thin air, surrounding Spirit, Earth and Air.

“That’ll keep him” announced Fire, clapping his hands together. “Mother, I have sealed us in, protecting us from father.” He added.

Spirit smiled warmly at her son. “All is going according to plan?” She asked.

Fire was about to speak when Water materialized in front of fire, making a few splashes here and there.

“Watch it.” grumbled Fire; smoke curling out of his face.

“With pleasure,” replied Water sarcastically, flicking his long black hair. “Mama, I have sunk papa in a sea of my creation, filled with terrifying beasts!” He announced, chest swelling with pride.

“Kiss up,” muttered Air.

“I heard that.”

“I am proud of all of you, but now it is time to bid your father goodbye. Let us begin the ritua,l” said Spirit, eyes twinkling. “Now, please supply me with your energy, I cannot do this alone” she instructed.

“Are you sure mama? Will papa finally be leaving for all of eternity?” asked Earth, tugging her long auburn hair.

“I hope so, my love,” answered Spirit.

“Were doomed,” mumbled Air, placing her hand on her mother’s forehead.

Spirit felt the rush of air leaving her daughter’s fingertips. Her mind was a tornado, filled with whispers of encouragement and determination. The tornado stopped, supplying Spirit’s mind with clearness and serenity. The power of air, just a lift of a finger away, thought Spirit.

“This better work” grunted Fire, placing his hand own hand on his mother’s forehead.

Spirit felt the heat of fire emerge through her. She felt braver than ever, and strength spread throughout her entire body. She craved for vengeance against her so-called husband.

“Step aside, hot head,” said water, resting his hand on his mother’s forehead.

Spirits body never felt more alive, she was as calm as ever, her mind bursting with new strategies to use against her enemy.

Spirit turned her attention towards Earth. “It is your turn, child, fill me with wisdom and strength, we cannot do this without you”

Earth turned around, looking solemn. “Maybe this isn’t the best strategy to use,” she said.

Water looked outraged, and hurt. “I have gone over this a thousand times you fool! This is the best of the best! Would you like father to destroy our mother? Would you like him to be ruler of all humanity? Those mortals wont stand a chance!” he yelled.

“Hush. This is no time to start acting like children. We shall proceed this step, and all will go according to plan,” boomed Spirit. Both Water and Earth looked at their feet, their faces full of shame.

“Sorry mama” they both mumbled.

Air tried hard not to laugh. Seeing Water not act like such a-know-it-all was quite a sight.

She failed miserably.

Water gave Air a nasty scowl and turned around, folding his arms.

“Stop it!” roared Fire, stomping his feet. The circle of flames grew ten times more intense.

Earth rolled her eyes and placed her hand on her mother’s forehead, unable to shake the sinking feeling of something terrible about to happen.

Spirit blinked. “I know how you feel, my child, but we must go through with this. It is the only way.” She whispered.

Earth shook her head, tears stinging the back of her eyes, threatening to come out.

Spirit spread her arms towards her sides, a hurricane began to appear at the soles of her feet; she then began to rise and rise until she reached a cloud. “Invisotora” she whispered. Spirit turned transparent and sat on the cloud. She glanced down and saw her four children looking up at her. She waved at them, and realized that, that was useless. Spirit chuckled and called “Wish me good luck and fortune! This is the fourth step to our ritual, you must give me your blessings, my children!”  Spirit feared this part the most. She did not tell her children that this might be fatal for her too.

Air, Fire and Water mumbled their blessings and stared at Earth who hasn’t said a word.

“Come on! Are you crazy! What’s wrong with you?! Why are you not listening to mother?!” yelled Air. “And me!” chimed Water.

Earth ignored her brother’s comment. “I have a bad feeling about this, sister. Please believe me, you always have.” Pleaded Earth taking her sisters shoulders. “What if things go wrong?” she asked fanatically.

Air sighed. “You’re my little sister, you should listen to me when I tell you this, this will work. What if you don’t give mama her needed blessing? You’ll spend the rest of your miserable underworld life asking what if. Now, who gave me that saying, sister, who did?” Air asked.

“Me?” asked Fire.

“No dimwit, it was me,” muttered Water.

“Shut your mouths, it was Earth; she said it,.” said Air, smiling at her little sister.

“I don’t know,” said Earth nervously.

“Were running out of time! Just give her the damn blessing!” roared Fire.

“You don’t scare me,” growled Earth, looking ferocious in a second.

“Please give her the blessing,” said Water, inspecting his nails.

Earth muttered her blessing and looked up.

The other three siblings looked up. Spirit began to glow. Golden light illuminated the sky, and spirit once again began to soar.

Spirit spotted her husband erupting from the black waters.

He did not spot her.

“By the power of all the elements, I command you to join and give Tempore a fatal disastrous fall, entrap him somewhere where he cannot escape! Free us from his wrath!”

Golden energy shot from Spirits limbs, missing Tempore.

Tempore cackled. “Is that the best you can do, my sweet? Frankly, I am disappointed.” Tempore shot purple energy towards his wife. He missed by a beat.

“Pathetic!” She snarled. Spirit used the power of fire to cast a circle around her enemy, she then cast another protective barrier, this time air; more oxygen, she thought. She then directed her thoughts through earth creating a volcano. The volcano rose form the ground and water sprouted from it, drowning Tempore.

“Look at mother go!” whistled Fire.

“She can beat him in her sleep” said Air with admiration.

“MAMA! HE HAS ESCAPED!” yelled Earth.

Spirit turned around and found her husband flying right towards her.

She cast a protective sphere around her, but no use, she was growing weak. 

“Malidecta!” yelled Tempore. The protective sphere weakened.

“A curse spell? As lord of Magic and Time? I am disappointed,” said Spirit; panic rising in her chest.

“You’re turning quite predictable my dear, and alas, this silliness must end. Just give me the ceptar and this will all be over in a matter of minutes.” Crooned Tempore.

Spirit closed her eyes and gave her self a few seconds of self-silence; the volcano she cast was disappearing. She had to act fast or the endless well will disappear as well.

That’s it!

“Never,” Growled Spirit, drawing the last of her powers. She then aimed at Tempore and shot him straight at the torso.

“Evanescere” yelled Tempore, as he fell and vanished to the never ending well.

Spirit knew this was going to happen. She looked down on her kids and gave them her last smile before disappearing into the unknown.
