        The boy walked along the dark road on his way home from school. Why do I have to go through this again? I have done it a thousand times before, He thought. But as he was deep in thought, the boy heard barking from what seemed from a distance. He stopped and looked around. A few feet away was a medium sized deep black dog. He shrived, the way the dog was starring at him was strange. But as he looked at it something seemed wrong. And after a few minutes he realized what it was. This is no dog it’s…

        “So to who do I have this ‘great’ pleaser to see such an ‘esteemed’ person?” the boy asked the dog.

         “Well I see the rumors about you are true.” The dog said with a huge smile on its face. “Well that’s good. I hope know it’s hard to find you Seto.”

         “Like I care about you immortals.” He said with scowl “you’re all a big pain!”

         “Oh well I guess I can find some one else to help me.” the dog said and turned, starting to walk away. “And here I was going to turn you to normal if you helped…” she let her voice trail off.

         “Turn me to…normal? DO YOU MEAN?”

         “That’s right no more reincarnation; you will just be another 6 year old. Who just happens to have the memories of the ages in him!” the dog said with a playful evil smile on its face. “But you clearly don’t want to help me so I will go asked some one else.” And stared to walk away again.

         “Weight I have changed my mined!” the dog stopped and he decided to go on. “I will help you as long as you keep your promise!” the dog turned around and sat. “So… what god are you and what do you want from me?”

         “Vary good questions. Well, my name is Si the great goddess of magic.” She smiled “and as for what I want. I want my locket back. And you will get back for me.”

         “Your locket! You’re a god who would steal from you? And why?” he asked.

         “Well Ronsias the goddess of thief’s for one. Well I m guessing that she really doesn’t understand the true value of it. But instead stole it for some one else.” Si frowned and went on “which could have some dangerous consequences. That locket dose hold some of my power after all.”

         “Ok so your saying I need to find the god of thief’s see if she has your locket and if not then find out who she gave it to. But not only that but then go find that person and some how convince them to give it back. And if I survive all that, alone I might add, find you and give it to you.”

         “Of course not!” she said with a smile “you wont be alone. You will need to find four people. Each with a connection to an element. And I can find you if you ware this.” Si said as she handed him a ring.

          He starred at it for a little wile not being able to look away. The tiny thing had a beautiful design of vines weaving though each other. And on the top sat a beautiful leaf green stone with a hint of the color purple in it.

         “Thank you so much! But how will I find the four?”

         “The four will resemble their element. The person of fire will be strong and hot tempered, the water will probably be calm and smooth most of the time and the person of air will probably be quick and flexible. And finally the person of earth will most likely be strong and well muscled.” She finished with a smile.

          “Now that makes more since. I’m guessing you want me to start right away.” She smiled and he sighed. “Ok I’ll leave in the morning. By the way do you happen to have a place for me to start?”

          “Why don’t you start toward the Imperial City?” Si suggested “Ok so if that’s every thing I should be on my way. Things to do, people to see.” She started to leave again. “Oh and good luck!”

          “Yah thanks. See yah.” He said with a sigh and almost a hint of happiness at the fact she was leaving.

          She walked to the end of the ally and stopped. Then she turned around to face him. Si then smiled again and vanished in thin air. And Seto was now alone.
