Aqua the Legendary Conqueror

The Birth of all Legends
====

All legends begin with a child born with a spark, born with the gravitational pull of charisma, joy and courage. The spark is seen throughout the entire world by all living creatures. Every being meets another with the inherent ability almost 20% of the worlds population is born with the Spark. On the other hand only once a generation is there someone born with the Firey will to create, destroy and command. Rarer to the that Fire is the Blaze the once in a millenium child. The child born with the duty to change the world, to change the cycle which would forever continue on into the distant future. This is where our story begins; in the far off frozen pines of the northern coast.

The Lands of the North
The North is cold and uninhabitable at times, the southern coastline providing the only habitable resources. The first settlers had to adapt to this and settled on the coastline creating ports to their homelands. Fishing flourished and to this day is the most reliable job. As the settlers expanded further north they began to encounter Grimm. The Grimm wiped out many colonies and forced the men to retreat. The Northern villages and cities were toppled until the colonists were forced to retreat. Sadly during this time Villages were neglected during this time and colonies were forgotten. The ones who remained were forced into survival until all that was left was a single city. The men and women of the mainland had been betrayed by there former comrades and struggled to survive. This betrayal did not go unseen however and the great flow of life decided to bring mercy to those of the frozen lands who had long been forgotten and veered towards extinction. The great flow provided the land with Aqua a being created with the duty of exploration and the goal to bring salvation to his people.

Chapter 1: The Last Light
Snow was light during the winter I was born and as I have come to learn it was unusual for fate to bestow upon us such a generous gift. There are very few things I remember about that year but of the few that I do, it was joyful. As I aged it became apparent that I had a unique quality in the eyes of my parents, whether it had to do with my ability to pick days for shopping or days for hunting I would always be exactly right.

My father was a stable wall and provided support for our family, he would always smile cheerfully when we sat next to the fire telling me of the frozen tundra and the unexplored lands beyond even that. He was a hunter and defended the city from the grimm's roaming around in the frosty world. He died of a virus when I was still young, the last time I saw him he seemed to be made of ice his eyes glacced over with frost and his skin a pale blue. As he laid there breathing he sounded as hoarse as a mummy, I wanted to say something but was unable to act. All we did was sit next to each other in silence; he was unable to talk and I couldn't find the word so we just sat there.

The months to come were hard with the loss of father, my mother was able to get by however and found herself another man to live with. The city was starving by the time winter arrived and food was becoming a rarity even among the wealthier, I began to take matters into my own hands and decided to journey into the vast sea to find fish. The ocean was frozen over by a thin layer of ice making it impossible for any adult to venture onto it. I was 7 at the time and determined to bring food back to our starving city, the situation had reached a critical point. Frostbite claimed many victims while others were killed for resources it was brutal. When I finally found a fish I was challenged by it, the powers of the massive creature were to great for me to overcome.

This moment of need was when I discovered Aura, at the time I was unable to comprehend what was happening. The Ice was no longer cold, the water was no longer sharp and the fish was no longer a danger. I was able to bring the fish back to the city by swimming under the ice using my Aura to transform water in my mouth into gulps of air which lasted for 3 minutes at a time. The City was able to feast during the winter solstice and the warmth of the city during the period was unimaginable at the time.
