Minerva had been assigned a room in Neptulius, a magical place where she could shape and form the room with her powers. She had been experimenting with magic for hours but was still unsure what her purpose was or what the balance of elements meant.
As she walked through the halls of Neptulius, she came across a wall of water and was surprised to see a group of young people swimming on the other side. She approached the wall and noticed that the water was the same as the surface of a lake. She pushed her hand through the water and decided to enter.
As she stepped through the wall, she felt the water wet her white blouse and navy blue skirt, but when she looked down, she noticed that she wasn't wet. On the other side of the water wall were the young people she had seen swimming. They weren't swimming at all; they were floating on water discs. The room had no floor and the darkness at the bottom indicated that a fall would be fatal.
Minerva lost her balance and started to sway to one side. She closed her eyes, fearing that the water disc would not hold her. But then she felt the arms of a stranger holding her.
"Are you okay?" asked Duncan, a tall young man with dark hair and piercing blue eyes. He was wearing one of the blue wizard robes but without any runes. "You should be more careful in this place."
Minerva looked up and noticed that the young man was slowly moving away while floating thanks to the water bubble under his feet. She tried to move the water disk under her feet and realized that she was able to move at will.
"We're about to start a journey," said Duncan, noticing that Minerva could control the water. "If you want, you can join us."
Minerva felt a rush of excitement as she looked around the room. The water covered all walls while the young people gathered around a table made of water, discussing their plans for the journey.
Minerva realized that she had found her calling. She was meant to be a part of Neptulius and control the elements. She eagerly accepted Duncan's invitation and joined the group, ready to embark on a new journey filled with magic and wonder.
