Fascinating, Julia thought. He really is a modernized human.

A hundred and fifty years of existence has not tarnished the young elemental's mind. Many things have passed Julia's time but she knows she still fits in with the modernized society of today.

Before, she was scared to go out of her doorstep and interact with human society, because she thinks that though the surroundings are modern, she may fear that the humans are still the same after so long. Savage, merciless, and close-minded in nature, before the existence of the modern age. But that was before. Now, humans are broad-minded, exploring, welcoming, good-natured creatures, which is the reason why her kind have established good relations with them.

But now, she has witnessed a teenage human shake hands with her, get shocked by her electric hands, and even heard the way he spoke. It was totally different than the Old English accent of those men of old. And they even held no pitchforks when they see something unusual, because it was centuries ago when policemen and soldiers were dressed in full chainmail and iron-forged armor, because now, the governmental enforcers wear comfortable uniforms and carry guns.

What's more, she even rode a plane to school. When she was younger, more like 50 to 70 years, horses were used to ride them children to school, and schools weren't even spaceship-like and technological before, because castles and dungeon rooms were the kind of school she saw before. What more can she say? The world has evolved ever since she was locked up in something she doesn't know. Or, maybe, she really was just the one who hid from the world all this time, like she was so afraid to be hurt by mobs again, all because she didn't notice the evolution of the world. Now, she is given a chance once again to live a better life, given the fact that elementals live longer than humans. She can become someone who has opened her mind to the truth about the new world, the new world that has no Great Fire Of London under its sleeves, but is the new world that is constantly evolving from one phase to another phase until its loses count of all its evolutions.
