Elementals: For Made Of Power, The World's Loyalness And Bravery

Fury of the Flames

Polina's POV-
    I'm not sure whether choosing Alesa was the right option for me. However, I believe that she may be of use. A bit airheaded, but she is otherwise available as my choice. I am interested in observing her power first hand. After all, what is the capability of someone who lacks attention? It does have me quite curious. I would love to observe the power of every Elemental here, but I'm afraid that isn't my job, nor my objective. My only job here is to make sure they are ready for what's coming for them. A storm is on its way, and decent shelter will not be available in this trying time. There is no reason to play games, especially when evil is on the move. She looked up at me in worry, undoubtedly trying to anticipate the trial that I have planned for her. "I'm sorry to say, but if I could have told you about your trial beforehand, that would kind of defeat the purpose of having it." I told her. "Each of you must endure this, not only to grow stronger, but also to gain an understanding over what it is that holds you back, as well as what is here that holds you together. Each of you were hand picked for this, and I would hate to see the decisions of the ten of us go to waste." The only thing left to do is to watch and see what she does with herself.

Alesa's POV-
    I'm so terrified. I would have never imagined going through any of this back then, when I felt ostracized and blocked out. I could have never imagined the adventure I have had, nor the friends that I would make here. Now, this battle is the only thing that stands in between survival and war. If we lose, they could hurt anyone they please, without anything to stop them. If they lose, it may not be permanent, however, their influence over everyone would be lifted. I must fight, for my friends and for the people too weak to fight for themselves. I cannot trap myself anymore. I must protect those I care about, while staying alive for their sake. What is my trial about to be? What will I have to face to grow stronger? It doesn't matter. All that matters right now is that we all make it out of this alive, and save everyone that we can. I can't let anyone down, not this time. Looking back at my friends is all the motivation I could ever need. They have been fighting this long, for me, as well as for eachother. I can't let them down now, even if I die for it. I summoned my fireballs in my hands with a newfound determination. "I'm ready for whatever you have planned for me, Polina. The Masterminds may doubt me, but I will prove to them that I am more than just a child trying not to die."

Third Person POV-
    She looked back to Cory, Adam, and Ross as she stepped in. She recognized the place she had stepped into almost immediately, it was her neighborhood. She almost didn't recognize it, from how much time had passed. Though, something was wrong. She could see herself, back in her own little world like usual, but her parents weren't there to pull her back. Where were they? Why hadn't she noticed that they were gone? The answer was simple: She was stuck. While they could be anywhere, as long as she was not here, she seemed satisfied. Then, the scenery seemed to shift, as she saw her parents, tied up by the Masterminds, being tortured. Where was she? Why was she not here with them? She tried to speak, but no words could come out of her. All she could do was watch this all take place. The anger burned through her as she watched it. What is this place trying to show? What lesson was to be given from watching your own parents being killed before your eyes? Then, it began to click. She was the problem. Her not being there to save them, here and now, was the problem. She had been ignoring the real world all this time without realizing how much damage was happening. Imagination is a beautiful healing thing, but it can never replace what the real world gives, the meaning and purpose that the real world provides for anyone who lives in it.

Alesa's POV-
    I shot the fireballs at the people torturing my parents. I won't let them get away with anything else! I have no time to ponder over what could be, only what there is! My weapon came to me at the time of perfect need. I must save them, from my mistakes. Letting my anger get the better of me, I sent a barrage of fireballs toward the people who had captured my parents. I will not let anyone hurt the people I care about, not on my watch. It may be my fault that I don't pay enough attention to notice the issues before my eyes, but the problem isn't just me. It's the Masterminds, the people who allow these problems to continue and inspire them to happen. I will never let them get away with it again. As the two people vanished and my parents were safe, I was able to breathe as sigh of relief. For once, I had been able to pay attention and do the right thing. I can't just sit back and watch things happen anymore. I will stand right beside my friends, and win this war with them. Watch me, my friends, and believe in me, so I can continue to do what's right for all of you. Don't leave me behind when I fall, and I will never leave you either. I will fight this war and I will win it, and that cannot be stopped by the work of the Masterminds.
