20 years have passed since the last meeting of the ‘Greats’. Wait, what and who are the ‘Greats’ you ask? Oh my dear child, you should know this but I suppose you were only a wee little thing if you were even around the last time the meeting was. Here, let me explain.
Six nations, six different elements and the gods that rule them. Every 20 years the royal families all join together in a mystical garden. This garden only blooms during the time of this meeting and it is during these meetings that peace negations are continued, or at least attempted. The King and Queen from each nation come with their children, children that they have plans of wedding soon. Each of their children is bound to their future spouse from one of the other kingdoms. Yes, my dear one, that means your spouse has been chosen for you as well.
These marriages seem to be the only thing that keeps the nations at peace with one another it seems. The daughters of every king are to be wed to the sons of their dominant element. Confusing I know, but it will all be explained to you shortly. My dear child, you do not look very happy about this. You must listen to me. You cannot fall for another that is not destined for you. If you fall for the wrong person, well, we won’t talk about that right now. You should be getting ready, the King and Queen will come to get you and take you to the gathering soon.
What wasn’t told to you was the power that came with these marriages. The submissive power does not show up in their children. That means an earth king and his water queen have their children, those children only have earth abilities, not water. It is a way to keep everyone in check through powers and in keeping everyone in somewhat agreeable terms. Yet, you are young, why would you want to listen to your parents when you are being forced into such a situation? You were given a warning to not stray from what has been chosen for you. Would you like to know why? Well I shall tell you… Should corresponding elements ‘bond’ their powers would become cataclysmic, it would throw off the balance of things and peace between the nations could possibly be threatened should those couples make it to the throne.
Ah yes, your parents are coming and you still have to get ready. Just remember what you have been told and after all, you’re only children right?
