For you #6

Heila was now at her home, figuring out who she was. She looked at the copy of ancient myth, but nothing was special. It was the biggest proof of everything, but she didn't know yet. Rowen came over to look at her. 

"What is it? Did you meet the writer?" asked Rowen. 

"Yep. I got this copy. He gave it to me." answered Heila. 

"What is it about? Can I see?" 

"Sure." 

She gave him the script. He looked at it and thought for a moment. There was silence. 

"Did you figure out something?" Heila asked. 

"I'm not sure, but look. If this is real, the last element is a person. The sentence 'The last element will change after the first one.' means that the last element is still a human so the person will die even if he or she is it. And other elements are nature. If you can control it, it means those others are kind of magic or else. The last element has a power like them too. If I'm right, it'll be magic, just like you." 

"Wow, you are brilliant! That's why you graduated from the best university, huh?" 

Another silence came over. Heila looked up at Rowen and was surprised. Water drops were falling from his eyes. Rowen opened his mouth first. 

"Heila, please, don't be it. There will be another way you can live like others." 

"Why are you telling me that? I can live like others even if I become the last element. " 

"The last element means you cannot be a normal person. If you have the power of nature, you'll find it harder to control them. You still hard to control your natural power. Please... I don't want to see you living a lonely life......" 

Heila thought about it. The myth would be true. It is because of Heila's power. If she doesn't follow the way the myth says, she will have a life like Heila had before. But what if she does follow the way the myth says? The world may not go in this peace. 

'Nobody likes me. I'll never have a good life.' 

Heila looked at Rowen. She started to speak. 

"Rowen, this is not a problem that I can choose. This is the only way I can live peacefully...... I'm really sorry." 

She hugged him. They both knew that it could be the last time they were together. 

Now, Irene was next to Heila. She told about the myth to Irene. She seemed very difficult. 

"If I become the last element, I may not live with other people. But if I don't be..." 

Irene looked like she was thinking a different thing. She tried to say something but then closed her mouth. Then she finally said. 

"Do you have to be the last element?"

"What?"

"Do you really should be one? I mean... I don't think it is your only way. I think you can choose that."

"I don't know... I hope I can choose it but... I don't think that's what I can choose." 

Maybe she could choose the way she lives. But somehow she knew that it was not the thing she could choose.
