Birth

She was born a princess raised to be a princess even without royal blood.Her body adorned ornaments more precious than gold. Her skin is as soft as silk. Even her name exuded elegance "Aura". But what made her glow and special was her gift. The one she was destined with. The one she was responsible for. She was the goddess of air. Everything that is agile and lively in the world was her own to care for.

She was born as the only child to the minister of heavenly realm Theodore and his wife Rachel. Her birth was welcomed by a prophecy that shook the heavenly realm."Four great souls may take up the elemental powers and rise to keep the world in balance. Their fates are sealed, their destiny unchangeable."

The first one in the prophecy was he who was born in the lunar month Ashada to the royal lineage of sky.He shall possess the power of scorching yet precarious flame. In the same month the emperor of sky Zephros and the empress Sephi welcomed their third son Blaze. The news of the birth of God of fire was spread across the nation.

The second is the one with ocean blue eyes and skin as pale as porcelain. He will be born to artistic parents and soon grow fond of vast blues in life. He will be the lord of oceans and lakes.

The third one will be born on the day of the festival month with emerald eyes that no one else is blessed with. The day Aura was born her eyes confirmed her power. She will be the master of winds, the breath of life.

The fourth a girl born to the humble devotees of land and with a birthmark on her glabella.

She will be the mother earth, the one who nourishes life and masters the art of patience.

Unlike the first and third person mentioned in the prophecy, the other two were less specific and more difficult to find. Ever since the birth of Aura and Blaze, the emperor had started a search for the other two in order to provide adequate training for their powers. On nearing their fifth birthday, a girl named "Avani" was brought to the palace by the guards who seemingly resemble the fourth one in prophecy. She was homeless as her parents died early .The fourth person was more or less confirmed and she was adopted by the minister. But there was no news of the second one. He remained unknown.

Years passed by Aura and Avani grew up together, bonded like sisters. Blaze was one of the princes and grew up surrounded by many royal kids and was known for his hot temper. As he grew up he learnt to control his power as well as his temper which made him more loveable to the people around him. That doesn't apply to Aura. Even though their fathers share a good bond, Aura and Blaze were always head-to-head. Always competing and comparing.
