The Four Elements: Riding the Wind

Ariel wilted. She had not done very well on the course. But today Blake, Ursula, Jay, and she were going to start to practice with their powers. It seemed like not everyone had done very well. In fact, Ursula had done the best, but that didn't touch Oliver’s high expectations. “You need to concentrate on what move you’re going to fire. The more you concentrate on it, the better. If you’re going to save the land of Horonza, you need all that you can to expect whatever is causing Horonza to die out.” Everyone nodded. But Ariel didn’t seem to look as confident as the others. “To do your best, you also need to relax. No deliberate actions that can throw you off. Your power is your strongest suit, and everything that is related to it. For example, Jay’s force is Water, so his strong suits are everything that is close to Water, such as the ocean. But no time to lay back on a beach, we need to work. Horonza is dying from an unknown cause. Many suspect that it is a virus that is killing Horonza, so it is up to you to save the many future generations for Horonza.”

 

After training, everyone was sweating, except Ariel. She felt good. Even though she could use her powers to cool her off, that wasn’t the reason why she wasn’t sweating, Oliver had pointed out that the others were stressing out too much over their powers. Ariel had listened closely and relaxed. With her braid swishing behind, she ran through the field. It felt good. She hoped that her force wouldn’t be the power that would save Horonza most. The others needed to contribute with her. As she thought more and more about this, the less confident she seemed to feel.
