“I’m wind,” she said. “You’re obviously water.”
“What do you mean, I’m water?”
“The elemental gift, of course. There are two others. They’ll be on land.” She started to blow inland. “Coming?”
After a moment, Grayson became a wave and lapped ashore.
Author’s Note: I’m not huge on elemental magic, but I thought discovering you had a penchant for it all along might make for an interesting story.
This is cool!
