The battle quickly came to an end with the raging inferno winning the battle. They were immediately sent to the healers. These were normally those who awakened either the water or spirit element.
Other matches took place afterwards. The duo stayed till it started getting dark before trudging back home. Luckily, they lived in the same neighborhood, beside each other to be exact. After getting home, he greeted his mother. His father wasn't always around. It turned out his father was actually a DI - elemental, having the element of wind and the rare space element.
His mother had the sub element of fire which was lightning. He had grown to love both of his parents and was happy to have met them. They were the kindest people he had ever met.
" Come down dear, dinner is ready!" shouted his mother.
He went down to eat with his mother. His Father was not back home yet. On the table, was a feast able to feed a group of people. Right as they were about to start, the front door opened and Wilson's father stepped in. He immediately left the table and rushed to greet his father.
After all the pleasantries were exchanged, the whole family sat down to eat as one with Wilson's father telling one of his adventure stories. Wilson of course listened eagerly to his father's thrilling and captivating stories.
Wilson's parents actually lived in the city before deciding they wanted to raise their child in a somewhat peaceful, quiet environment. Wilson listened intently on how his father battled criminals, rogue elementals, those that used their powers for evil and even monsters or beasts as some people called them.
Afterwards Wilson went to bed and dreamt of being the greatest elemental ever known. Even smiling as he slept.

Wilson could have sworn he had the weirdest dream ever in which he saw a being so powerful and mysterious explaining something to him but he quickly forgot about it and went on with his daily life.
After his usual chores, Wilson went out to meet Daniel and they went out to have some fun after informing their parents. Abruptly, Daniel proposed to Wilson
"come on bud, let's go to old man Manny, it's almost story time".
"since when did you begin to like Old man Manny's stories, I thought you said they were all fake and uninteresting" retorted Wilson to Daniel who for the first time ever was tongue tied.
"I ..I...ehm.....huh..." was Daniel's reply while Wilson laughed
"come on buddy, let's go"

Old man Manny was known for his story telling, he normally told stories thrice a week in the evenings, and today was one of those days.
They both rushed towards where he told his stories.
On getting there, they found out they were a bit early so they helped Old man Manny get things ready for the usual story telling.
It didn't take long for people of all ages and genders to start arriving. From the old adults to kids their age, from old men to little girls. None could deny that Old man Manny's stories were the best.
He always told them with such passion and emotion it would feel like you were in the story as well.
No one knew how he did it always.
