With solid proof that children of elements can appear near the towns seem to be ramping up on their desire to make their own. Those who would only do the sacrifice every few months increased their sacrifices to once a month. The only ones that didn’t were Termouron and Pitydden who were limited by their own rules.
Though for some reason, Galssopia, who had plenty of kids, seemed to have not added any more sacrifices? Maybe it had to do with how they do their sacrifices? Something was still unknown to me.
It had only been two months since their last big sighting, when The Child of Light randomly went on a crime spree, however The Child of Darkness was nowhere to be seen.
Talking to the people who witnessed these incidents provided more information about the Child of Light.
First, people were able to get a better look and found that the child was a girl, who looked about thirteen years old.
Second, there was actually someone who returned from wherever the flash sent them. The victim said that the area was bright and that he couldn't move but felt like he would fall asleep at any moment. He said that he had tried many times but the brightness of the area never allowed him to. He was only there for about a day and was starting to get hungry when he returned. It is unknown what is the outcome of Abeglassco.
Third, is that the Child of Darkness seems to be able to control her. Three weeks later she attacked an orphanage. The reason it is known is because one of the kids was able to flee the attack and describe running into him. Once she told him who was attacking them he ran off. Soon after the orphans were returned and the two were nowhere to be seen.
Thanks to that orphan, I was able to find out that the Child of Darkness also looks to be thirteen but is a boy.
I am still monitoring the other towns. None have been successful as yet but they are all hopeful that it will work sooner rather than later.

Another town was successful. Harllpool celebrated for a week when their child came back from the lake.
~*~*~*~
He looked along the lake that stood in front of him. He could hear the others singing and chanting his praises. They had a feast and danced from the morning till the sun was starting to set.
His clothes were thick, to absorb more water and keep him warm. His stomach was full and he only needed to head in and everything would be done.
This tradition had been going on for years. He wasn't the first, and he wouldn't be the last. He had always been alone, both parents were lost in an animal attack on the village. Thankfully, the town took care of him as a whole after the incident, taking turns feeding him.
He was old enough and the person who had been picked was his only friend, so he asked the mayor to take their place. The mayor made sure that this was what he truly wanted and that he wasn’t coerced into this before he agreed.
And now, here he stood. All that was left was for him to take those final steps. He took a breath and walked forward; glad the water wasn't freezing.
~*~*~*~
The town was still excited, heaping praises on the child. From those that I have talked to, the child doesn't remember anything of his past life. He claimed to have talked to the element itself but I don't know if I actually believe that.
The proof is that the child's looks were completely different and he now had a tattoo on his left side of another butterfly; the left wing is brown while the right wing is red.
This is all secondhand...I could go talk to him. He isn't planning to leave his town...but I can't...I can't look at him. Just knowing what was done to achieve those results...what happened to my brother to try and make a Child of Earth.
These...things... shouldn't exist.
