A breeze of wind passes by a lush garden within a mansion owned by a humble countryside noble and his family, "Aquos" a little girl by the name of Emily stood still with a small dress and brown hair, after chanting a small amount of water appears, barely enough to fill a small cup appears, hovering just above the girl's little hands. "Mama mama, come look!" both the father and mother of this child come out with smiles on their faces, "look! look at what I've made, isn't it amazing?" the girl puffs up her chest, pushing her hands forward to show the small water ball she has magically produced, "Ohhh now thats my sweet little princess" said the father with a proud smile, "You seem to be blessed by the great God of water my child, why don't you go to the church of water?" asked her mother, "but mama! its boring at church" "Hush child! we do not tolerate such words even when coming from our child, never say those words again okay?" said the mother with a slightly angry but caring expression, the words unfortunately landed on deaf ears due to the saddened face as she got scolded, followed by Emily running up to her room, "maybe I was too harsh on her.." pondered the mother. "Mama is cruel" Emily said to herself, "Emily did cool magic but mama didn't pay attention and want Emily go to boring church" and slowly she grabbed a magic device, a magic ball to be exact, she recognized this as the Magic Ball of elements, it is a magic device capable of showing what affinities whoever held it had, she touched it and it glowed a bright blue, indicating her strong affinity to the water element.
Time passed by and after quite the while of tinkering with magical tool gifted by her parents, Emily also realized it was her bedtime, it was the time she hated the most, and just as she was going to ignore her bedtime and continue playing, her parents appeared right at the door, "Emily, you know what time it is right..?" asked the father, "bedtime.." said Emily with a sad face, feeling defeated, "and what do we do when its bedtime?" said the mother, "we go to bed.." replied Emily with an even sadder face, "if its so hard to sleep, want me and papa here to read you a bedtime story?" "YES!" screamed Emily screamed, "alright alright" said her loving father, "once upon a time.." it was her favorite story. Slowly but surely with grins on their faces, the parents leave the already snoring child to sleep, they back away and reach the door, a few simple words showing their affection "love you sweetheart" and the door closed, closing off almost all light except for Emily's toy night light from coming in, but suddenly, another light was turned on, the color of the light being a violent red, contrasting the blue soft light coming from the night light. The sight was strange, a beautiful flower field, filled to the brim with the favorite flowers of a certain child dancing in the field, Emily was dancing happily in this dreamy flower field and even laid down on some soft feeling grass, it was peaceful and amazing thought Emily, "I wish mama and papa would come see this, its so beautiful!". The violent red light in Emily's room started to fade away, but suddenly it got stronger, the red overpowering the blue night light entirely, and suddenly.. A black monstrous hand with sharp claw looking fingers emerges.
