"every mortal being is destined to
dwell in the sphere it was born in.
interrupting the cycle of creation
brings the wrath of gods upon the
wrongdoer and its descendants"
("The Legend")

FOREWORD
He´s been trying really hard. His name is Christian and actually he´s been trying to complete his first book about love, philosophy and ...The Legend.... By now Christian has written approximately half of it and he can´t quite explain why it´s taking him so long to finish it. Usually he blames it on the "lack of time" or the constant daydreaming about becoming rich, famous and the laureate of Nobel Prize. But deep down inside he knows the real reason. He´s scared. He´s scared because the main character of the book is starting to resemble him, the writer, more and more. Christian´s practically writing his own story. And he knows the ending....

LAZY SUN
Christian´s sitting on the beach and writing his book. It´s pure fiction. Probably he just wanted to write some utterly beautiful epic fairytale because he was fed up with the hyperreal urbanism around him. The novel is about a mermaid called Lia who wants to get away from the sea, to live on the earth. She has heard about the old legend and the spheres (humans call them elements) but she tries it nevertheless. The only thing Christian can´t figure out about Lia is why would anybody want to exchange the sea for the cities, the rush and stress. Lately he has become absolutely tired of other people, friends and enemies, the insignificance of everyday life. But he has fallen monstrously in love with water:he loves the ocean, intimately, without reservations. The sound of waves, the air and the awesome power of liquid.

VESI
Christian’s dreaming about it every night. The weird connection to the sea he can’t explain. It’s almost like a love affair. The Pathological need of closeness to the water. He goes on his parents’ yacht to finish the novel. In the beginning everything is just fine. Lia becomes a successful bank accountant thanks to her gorgeous looks and the spell-like charm he seems to have on people. But she’s dreaming about the sea as well. Then everything starts to go wrong. Christian can’t sleep anymore, he’s just staying up for nights, looking at the tide and the reflection of moon in it. Around that time he finds his mother’s old diaries where it says that Christian was actually born in water, his mother giving birth to him while washing herself in the sea. Christian realises suddenly the real reason of his obsession. The Legend has turned against him, he must return to the sphere he was born in. The book has become true. After having made a successful career on earth, Lia drowns in the bath at some executive party, loaded on cocaine.

PEROXIDE
Christian’s last minutes in the water. The feeling of unique completeness and absolute belonging, although he knows he has got less than five minutes to live. It feels like coming home. That’s the way it has to be.
