In this universe, there are 6 core elements: fire, ice, water, electricity, earth and air. We ordinary humans have absolutely no control over these forces of nature, but in ancient times there were legends of ninjas who harnessed the power to control these elements. They were called "elemental ninjas", and they were able to control at least one of the elements. In order to use these powers properly, they were trained by a Sensei in an isolated Dojo located somewhere far away from civilization. The Fire Dojo is located on the hottest volcano, the Snow Dojo on the coldest mountain, the Electricity Dojo in the stormiest of all places, the Earth Dojo in the deepest forests and caves, and the Air Dojo above the skies.

All of the elemental ninjas used to live in peace, but one day a mysterious being of pure evil attacked the village where the elemental ninjas lived, and started a massive war. The forces of good won, but at a cost: Hundreds have risked and lost their lives, the Fire and Electricity elemtals have rebelled and turned to the dark side, and the Earth and Air elementals perished, their arts lost in the raging rapids of time. Only the Ice and Water elementals survived, still good. The evil monster was banished to another world, never to come back for millennia.

The immortal sensei (senseis?) continue to train Ninjas both new and old. The Ninjas have been hidden from civilization, until a group of British explorers found about them in the mid-18th century. They learned all about the elements and the evil monster, and published their writings in a book about legends. Since then, few people from the outside world sometimes visit the Dojos to learn about the history of the Elementals.

The monster of pure evil won't come for now, but prophecy states that it will come back stronger and get revenge on the Ninjas. Only the fabled Legendary Elemental can truly destroy it and finally bring peace, but so far that has been a legend only. Or is it?

What do you guys think? That sounds cool! But I have a few questions:

1) If Earth and Air elements perished, does this mean that those ninjas have perished?

2) Does an elemental ninja have to necessarily possess supernatural powers in order to be an elemental ninja?

3) I wonder how the Fire and Electricity elements turned to the dark side?

4) What's the story called?


 * 1) Yes.
 * 2) Well, I guess so. Luckily, any regular human can learn the elemental arts and possess these powers.
 * 3) Bribery. And a huge curse cast by the evil shadow being's minions.
 * 4) It's actually a story series, one of which the Ice Ninja Saga is part of: "Elementals".
