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

Blessings of the Living

Shelby's POV-
    I'm so nervous for this! From what I've seen of everyone else's trial, they can be really terrifying and reflect upon problems of the past and the present. I really do not want to go back and relive any part of my life before I became an Elemental. Those parts of my life were not ones I can say that I look back on fondly. Then again, all of us here never had the best life before we joined together here. I miss the First Generation already. It felt like they were guiding us from the very beginning, and, now that they are gone, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with this. I've already suffered enough in the past, shouldn't that at least count for something? Maybe it does, but this trial will be different. Maybe this trial will teach me to accept what I have, instead of push away what I had. I believed in all of my friends, and they made it through these trials, so I have to believe in myself as well. I know they're all here, watching me and hoping for the best. I want to show them that I won't crack under the pressure given by my trial, and that I can overcome it. I have to keep fighting for him, and for all of my friends. After all, they're always in need of a healer, so I can't just leave them behind after all the time that we have spent together.

Elsie's POV-
    Aww, this one is quite the sweetheart! I've had my eyes set on her ever since I first learned about her, and I'm so glad for her to be my choice! She has scars, but has learned to fight against them for her friends. That is a skill that I can truly commemorate. After all, emotions are very hard to deal with, from experience, and they can impair all rational thought that could possibly flow from someone. She has always left her emotions as a priority, from the start, without letting them take control of herself or the actions of her friends. Those two balence each other out so well! It's so much fun to watch someone who has experienced so much be thrown for a loop when something new comes their way. Perhaps, I must be the one to teach her how to forgive herself, as well as others. I know what I must do, and what they expect me to do, so I must subvert everyone's expectations to prevent this from being too easy. After all, every one of these trials must be a challenge for the user, or else it isn't fair to anyone. There is no way to truly beat every emotional thought that flows through your mind, however, there are more ways to control emotions than just beating them. There is so much to learn from and grow from to manage that side of oneself. I must teach her how to embrace it.

Third Person POV-
    What she saw before her was not something she had expected. She had expected to see her relationship with Graser, or some other situation to where she had felt like she failed. Something of the past. However, what she saw was the future, or at least, what this perspective of the future was. This had to have been it, the final battle, but something was wrong. It was awful, they had lost it. The Masterminds had won. Her teammates were all on the ground, clinging to survival with what little they had left. Her eyes filled with tears, how was she supposed to save them? How was she supposed to stop them all from dying? She couldn't do it, there was no way. But, she couldn't just watch them all die either. This vision isn't real, this isn't really happening. Did that matter? Did it really matter whether what she saw was true or false? What was she supposed to do...? What was she supposed to do?! Then, it came to her. It was so obvious, like understanding how to solve a problem after hours of studying it from different angles. She could save them. She wasn't useless to them, she never was. She was just as important as every person there, an essential to the team. She knew the energy it would take, but she didn't care. After all, they all needed to make it out of this alive, and defeat them.

Shelby's POV-
    My wings sprouted from my back as more tears dripped down my face. I'm not going to let them die, not like this. My body glowed like a beacon of light from the heavens, summoning it's power into me. This wasn't just a simple matter of life or death. The whole world would be at stake if we don't survive. My light reached out to them in bands, slowly healing them all. I don't care what I have to give up in order for us to get through this fight without losing. I'm willing to risk myself if it means winning. The Masterminds, not so far away, gazed in both anger and fear at my light, as they knew exactly what was going through my head. I'm not afraid of them anymore, I am stronger than any of them have ever been, purely because I chose the right path. Unlike them, I have known exactly what choice in life was right, as well as who to protect. I will never let them wound us again. From now on, I will be strong, for all of them. I don't care anymore about what the visions say, about me potentially being corrupted by them, I will never let it happen, as long as I have control. He is my motivation and my constant, and I will never let it go to waste. If you all are watching me right now, thank you. Thank you for sticking with me when no one else ever had.
