Alaric was born on November 30th 1977, his mother had given birth to twins. They named his twin brother Aston Curtis. During their childhood, they grew up on a farm and took care of many animals from horses, cows and chickens. His mother and father had been married since the age of twenty and they had a pretty close relationship and still loved each other. For years they had lived on the farm, they were rarely any troubles in his family. It was pure bliss.

One day, when he and his brother turned ten years old, his mother and father had told them about the supernatural species and they had said that they were initias as well and told them that they will get their first element soon. Both of them were beyond excited about this but of course, their parents warned them about what could happen if something went wrong.

A few years had gone past and it had been normal and everything was just the way it was. School was normal, Alaric and Aston had been getting straight A’s on their report cards, Alaric had made it on a soccer team and had won many tournaments. His brother had was thinking about joining the Army when he leaves school and figure out a career for himself. Their mother and father couldn’t be more proud of them. Alaric had chosen to be a musician as his love for music had grown over the years. He plays the drums, bass and guitar. He plans to have a band in the future.

It was graduation day for both of the twins, they had finished high school, the morning of their graduation. He felt his stomach churn and he felt like something was going to go wrong today. He didn’t like bad feelings in his stomach. They were about to leave for their graduation ceremony when a ball of fire was shot their way towards their front door. His parents panicked and saw phoenix’s flying through the air. Their house was caught on fire and his mother wanted to go get their special items but it was too late.

Both of the twins hadn’t gotten their elements yet, whilst his mother and father were out fighting the phoenix’s. They were trying to put out the fire but someone had knocked out Aston. Alaric was fuming when someone had attacked his brother, he wanted to attack but knew it was too late when he was shoved onto the ground and had been kidnapped by the phoenix. He was trying to get away from the phoenix but the kidnapper had threatened that he would kill him.

They were in the air when he saw his brother still on the ground and his mother and father were lying unconscious, he really didn’t want his parents to be dead. If they were murdered by the phoenix’s, he would do everything to get revenge on them.

He was taken somewhere dark, he didn’t know where but he placed into a cell and locked up. He hadn’t been given any information on why he was kidnapped. He was chained to the wall and he wasn’t fed for around a couple of weeks. He was trying to escape but he had no strength.

The phoenix’s were able to torture him in many ways, slicing his skin with a knife leaving various scars around his body. Some had blown a few fireballs towards him. Catching his clothes on fire and various other things. He had finally had enough, he used his strength to rip apart the metal chains and free himself from the cell. It had been a rough escape and he had finally made it out. He kept running, running along the endless road. Trying to find his home. He didn’t know where he was but he must be far away from his home town.

He was dehydrated, he was starving. His bones were visible as he hadn’t eaten in weeks.
Finally after hitching a ride with a stranger and he had driven to his home, thankfully it wasn’t that far away. Roughly two to three hours.

He finally reached his home without a problem, but his face fell when he saw his house burnt to the ground. Police tape was everywhere. Where was his twin brother? His parents?

A sudden pain had hit his lower back, making him scream and crumble down to the ground. Tears were brought to his eyes when the pain had gotten worse. He felt powerful. He knew he had just gotten his first element. He held out his hand and a burst of flames went everywhere, he wasn’t able to control it. The pain had finally subsided after he had just ruined a large patch of grass in front of him.

He had never felt so alone in his life, he wanted to know where everyone was, he just hoped they weren’t dead. His eye were burning a mixture of red and orange as his anger was filling within him. He had nothing to live for if he his family was dead.

He had begun his search for them, going through town after town, going to the police station to find anything and finally an answer was given to him. And it was good news. He was so relieved.
The police had told the young man that they had moved to London, England and lived in a small street and were rebuilding their lives. He was given a phone number and the police were able to help him get back home. He wasn’t going to tell the full story as they were humans but he had lied about why he was kidnapped.

He had given a phone call to his parents, nervous but excited to hear their voices. They picked up to hear their son on the phone and they were thrilled to hear him and that he was alive. They had arranged to come and get him and he had told the police to not worry about him. He thanked them.
He was sitting on a bench near the police station, his stomach was grumbling as he hadn’t had any food for the last five weeks since he had been kidnapped. Around the corner, his brother had came running over to him and hugged him so tightly that he had been any room to breath. He was so relieved but he was so emotional, he began to cry as they were reunited.

He had told them what had happened and he was planning to get revenge on the phoenix’s once we had learned to control his first element, it turns out that his brother also got his on the same day and it was the same element. They had moved back to London, he was still traumatized after the event had happened and had various nightmares of it.

His mother and father had came home from work one day and had told them great news they had been promoted to work in America and it was a city called Evermore, a town filled with different species just like them.

A few years later, they were settled in a house in Evermore City. In the living room of their house, they were watching television and enjoying the good times. His brother had joined the army that he had dreamt of since he was little and had been accepted into the army. They were celebrating and saying his farewell, when his mother had pointed something out in the sky that was coming towards them. Panic went through them and they didn’t know what to do but wait.

A few minutes went by, the comet had finally hit Evermore City, sending a massive wave throughout the city, it had knocked everyone out but that’s when both of the twin brothers had received their second element, water.

His brother had to delay his trip in the Army as he had to control his second element and try and use their powers together and see what they could do.

Just a few months after the comet had hit Evermore, Alaric was getting his life back to normal. He was spending his days at a music college and had been pursuing his music career whilst his twin brother was away in the Army. He hoped that one day he would come back.
