Extinguish

Water vs. Fire
Imploding the explosion. From being to reflecting, not being, to re-birth.
Characters from my APKALLU Story, on a much advanced point of the mythos where the expected battle of elementals do happen.
Am I finished with this? No Way! It was done in part as college activity, so it had schedules and directories to follow. I finished it around a week, so I didn't explore all the character's power nor personality. But I guess that too much effort has ben spent for just a few battle scenes, so hope you enjoy it.

This is the 2nd Part of a comic book of mine made with mixed media, from ink outlines to basic color pencils and water color and finally digital treatment to amend a thing or two.
The Fourth page has the apex of the battle between Hualallo-Khepri-Lapolakh and the Five Pariacacas-Hydros:

"Pariacaca (light blue): From the Dawn of Time thou hasn't neglected thy mark! Many suffered for your selfish neglect!
Hualallo: I shall never cease to be! I came into being and I can be born anew again! Too many times have I faced the deceit of you, my brothers
Pariacaca (all of them) You don't know how much we expected... FOR THIS!"

Far from having a Huarochiri inspired design, but just imagining a perspective of narrative, I depicted the gods into raw elemental forms.
The Elemental Gods from Apkallu are universal: Pariacaca isn't just "a spectre", and the title of elemental isn' a title or position that can be earned. They are the elements and only being them can be possible to master them. But not all water is Pariacaca as all fire can't be Hualallo.
We don't know how they began, but like nature, evolution, and men we didn't came from a single point of origin, of conception. We came from the suppression of the alien into the breast of the common. Pariacaca and all others that are water have developed a fluid nature on which this process of becoming common has been facilitated. As such, Hydros as he's originally known, has a multiverse in his hands, and that is something the proud Hualallo-Khepri doesn't count...
Hualallo has attained years of experience among empires, military services, scientific discoveries, and mastered the progresses of science. That's only natural, since his element is often regarded as the difference between man and beast. But as well, he created far too many illusions.
He's been given many chances to do as he liked, to learn from his many falls as he wished, that his ego and personalty undergone a solipsism.
"Destined" to cleanse the karma debts, his failed plan was a mix of technological domination and innovation with alignment of the productive classes. He'd have diminished the population and destroyed wildlife.
At this point, the identities of the elements are fluid, and the attributes to which archaic poems refer to, are less of embelishments and more akin to certain standards and moments on their eternities. Bringing up vivid memories of his adversary, Hualallo-Khepri has been equated once to Τυφων, the storm-giant. Multiple and full of conflict natures, denying to be tamed, only by himself, he was led spiralling down to earth and to the lava of the volcanoes, the only place his being would be "nature".
This changes things as we are invited to reflected which came first: Elements (fire, water) or their personalities (lapolakh, hydros), and how much of it can change (breaking the illusion of the being and not being). Denying that the person is matter invokes the idealist utopian belief in the soul. And this brings us to something alien to our ancestors, who in their seemingly mystic speeches only wanted slightiest survival - and to that they spoke on figurative language. Being that we have the philosophy of gods, and not our own, only shows how stupidly and blindly we take the journey of life (straight into death and servitude).
