Willow's POV-
I have found then, those who need us, at least. I faced the boy with the glasses, speaking directly to him, as he is the one I seek. "Hello. Ross, was it? My name is Willow." He shook my hand, but behind his eyes there was fear. I can't say I'm surprised. They have all seen enough of this by now that they know our routine. "It's my turn, isn't it?" He asked. I nodded quietly, but calmly, as to not scare him more than he already is. "You will be challenged like everyone else, but I assure you, you will be okay." I explained, half to him, and half to everyone else here. "You seem a bit more open then everyone else so far, why is that?" Ashlie questioned. "You see, I'm am Willow of Direction. I find it pointless to beat around the bush with these kinds of matters, as they are playing with life and death. They are all also consequential, depending on the actions that are chosen." I said, introducing myself yet again, but with more. I don't hold my tongue completely like everyone else, but I also cannot dive too much to them at the present time. These trials were created to trust the will of each Elemental. Without will, one cannot fight for their ideals. All we want, is for them to be able to fight for themselves. I don't want them to fight this battle and die. That's just counterproductive for us.

Ross's POV-
I nodded back to her, accepting my fate. I then looked back at all my friends who have gotten me this far. I used to be nothing before I was here, just a farmer tending to chickens, to Thundermuffin. I have gained confidence here that I never could have back at home. I have my friends and family standing beside me to win this war. All I want is for us to live, whatever that takes. Whether we kill them, or just stop them, either one works for me. As long as I can say that I didn't run away from something, I feel like I have grown more than I ever dreamed I could. This may be an endless war between evil and good, but that does not mean that we have to lose. I have faced the thunder this long and lived, so there's no turning back now. Fate is staring back at me, at my friends, the Masterminds, and it is beckoning us to fight. Cory and Adam nodded back at me collectively. They have already faced what their trial had to offer, so, if they believe in me, then I can survive this. I just have to win this, for everyone. Willow beckoned me to the void, and I stepped within it. I'm ready to burn until my blood goes cold, to no end. Watch out void, I'm coming for you, and I will not fall under your spell so easily this time.

Third Person POV-
He faced a big storm within the dome that he was now closed into. An earthquake, he was sure of it. The ground rumbled like thunder against the harsh world as it tore and divided homes and cities. How could he stop it? He watched as women picked up their children and ran for their lives. He watched as fathers carried the burden of all they could take from their crumbling home. Their whole world is falling apart, right before their eyes. A fear he has held for many years. His fear of losing everything has always been of friendships and family. This however, was very real. It was more gruesome than anything he could have conjured in his head. He couldn't just watch this place fall to its knees and do nothing. He had to do something to stop this mess. All his life, he has been told nothing, except that he will always run. He would never stand up for himself, just run away. However, he didn't want to run any longer. He wanted to fight. The earthquake would catch up to all these people soon enough, and they would all die. He had never even tried to stop anything of this magnitude. He could stop this, he knew he could stop this, he just needed to breathe. Breathe, think, run, summon, break. His plan of attack, his masterpiece, had been summoned in his head for the world to see, and he will never hold back again.

Ross's POV-
My staff glowed and it appeared in my hand, my trustworthy weapon. I banged it on the ground three times, to attempt to stop the storm. It kept approaching, almost as if it were angry that I was keen to fight back. So, I continued to waver it away from the people and their cities, their homes. No one deserves to suffer the anger and loss of losing a home or family. That is all evil has ever intended to do, separate those who are close together. Slowly but surely, the earthquake was haunting, until the ground no longer shook with it's anger. I had done it, I had saved them. It was in that moment that I knew what to do. I could fight for myself. All I had to do was believe that I could fight back against anger and pain. I will never run again. I may not be able to see the faces of my friends now, but I know they are looking upon me with pride and triumph, as I have gained a strength that was so foreign to me before. With all of us together, we will beat the Masterminds in this battle. I hope the future shines down on us as we shine our hope and bravery onto each other. Only together can we fight and win, instead of crumble and fall. I may be staring death right in the eye, but I will face it until the very end.
