✧ History / Story ✧993 words.At the beginning, there were no elementals. The world was populated by various creatures : wolves, eagles, fishes,... and Ceirals. But this world was different: it was not the one we know.
It was a world devasted by volcanos on the one hand; by tsunamis on the other hand.
It was a world of pure chaos.
The ancient Ceirals believed it was the sun and the moon who were fighting, trying to rule the world. They decided to create two small temples on the small volcanic island in the middle of the ocean where they were living : the first one was the temple of the sun and fire, located on the top of the volcano. The second one was the temple of the moon and water, situated in a cavity near the ocean. There, the old Ceirals started to make offerings : fruits, small animals, precious stones,... Surprisingly, the two strengths stopped to fight, as if they were calmed by the two altars.
Sadly, centuries passed and it became a sort of legend. The Ceirals knew the story. most of them didn't believe it was true and slowly, the two temples were abandonned.
But one day, the volcano woke up. All the Ceirals living on the island panicked because they would not have time to leave or could simply not leave. But one of them was not panicking. Or at least, a lot less than the others. It was a purple Ceiral with an orange and yellow belly and two small horns. His name was Antares.
In his heart, Antares felt that something was wrong with the temple of the sun. He knew the legend and was one of the Ceirals who still believe in it. Even with the lava, he decided to climb the volcano and to discover what was the problem.
The purple Ceiral crossed the forest first. Antares had a twinge when he saw all the burning tree : he grew and lived in this forest. It was his home. He avoided some falling burning branches, getting closer to the volcano.
From there, Antares was able to see the temple of the sun; there was not a lot of lava near for the moment. Now, he realized how foolish he was acting. The volcano is awake and he is running toward this volcano only because he had a strange feeling. He must be crazy.
In only a few minutes, he rejoined the sacred place and saw... a ruin. It was not because of the lava which didn't reach the place. But since nobody came here for years and years, the temple was half-destroyed. Antares went in and discovered a ball of light near the altar.
"- They will regret... I am still here... In the sky, everyday... "
It was... the sun?!
"- You forgot me... All...
- I didn't", said Antares, jumping in front of the light ball. "I still remember you. You're the sun. The keeper of the fire, the one who bring light on earth. Those stories I heard when I was young... I know there're real."
There was a moment of silence. Then, the ball of light said :
"- Maybe there is one Ceiral who still believe in me. But the others... Look this place. They used to come here, to celebrate and to make offerings... This place was for me and it was alive. Now, this temple is dead. Nobody is coming.
- I came. I am here despite the volcano you woke up. And I'm sure that even if they didn't come here before, there are Ceirals who still believe in you. But please, stop the volcano! I'll do anything for that!
- Anything... ?
- Anything."
The small sun took a moment to think.
"- I want an offering then. But something you think that is really valuable. Just throw it in the volcano. I'll make a path through the lava so you'll be able to reach the top."
Something valuable for him... Antares was wondering. What was really valuable for him ? His family, his friends, this island he calls home... He had to think fast And suddently, he realized. The purple Ceiral took the path the sun created, running to the top of the fire moutain. He stopped there and took a great breath.
Life. Life was valuable for everyone. And he would gladly offer his life to save all the creatures living on this island.
Antares jumped.
---------
When Antares pulled round, he was floatting in a warm and bright space surrounded by fire. The little sun was in front of him.
"- And... the volcano! Is it...
- Yes, the volcano is sleeping. But I was suprised. Giving your life to save this island... This was a really noble gesture.
- Am I... dead?
- Not really, I am keeping you alive for now. I want you to hear this. I want you to be my representative on Earth."
Antares was open-mouthed. Was it a dream ?
"- If you accept this pact, you'll have to bring and to keep the fire on this planet. To start eruptions. To bring the storm. And the most important, I want you to let the world remember I still exist, that they don't forget I'm here everyday. In exchange, I'll give you this island you saved as a gift. You're brave and you still believed in me, so I think you deserve it. You'll be able to do what you want of it. Do you accept this pact ?
- This is so unbelievable... But I accept.
- Great."
This day, the sun created a few amber stones. Always on fire, they were supposed to give a part of the sun's powers to the Ceiral who also earned some yellow patterns and bigger horns. The sun gave him a small ball of glass too, containing the small island where Antares lived. Even if the place was damaged inside, it only took a decade for the nature to repair the forest.
The volcano never woke up after that day.
Antares decided it would neved wake up again.
