Ten Little Ninjas: Divisible By Five

By Henry Livingston

Once upon a time long before the Sun knew the Moon, there was The Balance. While the world was young five humans were chosen to shape the new Age of Man. These individuals known as the Five Elements were promised immortality for their contributions toward Man’s tomorrow as long as balance was maintained in their decisions.

Each Element was chosen at the same time and allowed one-thousand years to reign as an Element, then when the stars aligned in the shape of the moon east of the north star, they would relinquish their powers by transferring them into the next five chosen – two women, two men and one true neutral human. This task had to be completed before the setting of the sun on the eve of the aligning of the stars or all things made by the power of the Five Elements would be undone ending existence as it is known.

This is the first chapter of how that all came to be.

Introduction

Stories teach our imaginations to soar.

Preface

Universally speaking, people tend to think the fascination of a story equals to the visual that backs it, however, the principal factor of the magic of fiction is the fascination and imagination of stories that define it, including impressionable characters.

In this case, characters impressions refers to the attraction of their personalities rather than their outer shells.

As you may be familiar with, some artists create both stories and pictures. Before they work on drawing pictures, they must look within for the outlines, stories, and characters that they plan out and whether they are impressionable enough or not to be worth pursuing.

Almost all popular authors tend to place great importance on the charm of the characters, their personalities, and the story. They know from their experiences that pictures may catch a readers’ attention, but charming characters and interesting tales keeps them engaged.  Because that will sell better than any chronicle whose stories have wonderful illustrations but are uninteresting and lacking in imagination within those stories.
