Andarin: The Mountains: earth and sea

some people just want to watch the world burn

It seemed that just as everything happened for her. Just as she came to her full potential. Her time would soon be up, here at least. She could not help but remember her dreams. They started out sparse at first and slowly darkness overcame them until she could not help but worry for the future. She saw the element whither away and she could do nothing about it. Perhaps that is why rain fell in her eyes. It seemed to do that a lot recently.

All the same, she hardly noticed the mare's own worry. Her own doubts and concerns. She did not delve into them, it was not her place. Seer or not, she should not just see everything anytime she wanted. She only smiled, knowing Cain was safe, curled around her child. That was all that really mattered. Well and of course helping out Amelia.

She seemed to raise a brow at Amelia's answer. To help Ni'Srilan? She had to restrain herself from playfully replying, "Now why would I want to help you with that?" She was quite silent though, smiling at her and waiting for her to finish. "Well I suppose I have been around long enough to understand these things. And I believe Lycoris knows what she is doing." Here she laughed, because anyone other than the speckled mare would know not to put the painted mare up to such tasks. Her mental state was rather...sporadic, to say the least. "Earth is a very strong power. It is steady and constant. Fire is wild and fierce and air can be unpredictable. Lightning...well lightning is just lightning. Powerful, but it can never be anything else. Earth can be many things. Water is much the same way, but it is a much softer element and yet, it can be devastating." She paused a moment, wondering if she was making any sense at all. She stepped back then. "Perhaps I will just show you."

Slowly, the earth beneath her feet began to tremble. It was weak at first but soon enough it was very strong. If she had felt like it she could have easily knocked Amelia off her feet, but she controlled the pattern of Earthquake. It simply went around them. She sighed and the earth was still. "Earth is the world, Amelia." After her tremors were quieted all manners of plant life began to carpet the ground beneath her. Thick mosses and small flowers grew and began to swirl around her limbs. Vines twined around her skin before erupting in their own colorful flowers. As soon as it seemed they would swallow her whole they vanished into nothing but tiny leaves and petals. "It is life."

She nodded a moment, "But so is water." And the sky broke apart and rain began to fall. It was a thick rain, but it wasn't a pour. Fat lazy drops it the ground and splattered into thousands of droplets. All the while the two mares remained dry. The earth around them grew thicker and greener as the rain fell, regardless of the season. "It can also be just as destructive." For this she took several more steps backward. Salvation required the most concentration. The rain stopped and the water beneath her feet grew hotter and hotter by the moment. As it seeped deep into the earth around her she felt its pressure build. In an instant the earth around her had exploded, its sound was unearthly - like mountains cracking and stars falling all in one. At the same time it was eerily quiet. The debris flew around her as if it would destroy anything coming into contact with it. Nearly as soon as it had happened the pressure was gone. She controlled the particles now as they hung still in the air. The water had formed fog and everything was quiet. She materialized from within the fog and floating earth. She walked forward, dirt and rocks were pushed away by her body.

She stopped in front of Amelia once more. A smile curled around her lips as the various particles around her floated gently back to the ground. She had repaired the earth to look like nothing had even happened. "Then again any element you chose will be the right one. You will just know. I did not even pick mine, I was born with water and earth had saved me once. Now I know them and I know they are right. Just like you will."
