"Here's the Air Cabin, Cabin 2."

I stood before a building about three stories tall with eight foot tall white doors and white bricks from bottom to top. "Looks like a cloud."

"Since you're the only air elemental," Keith said, "you are alone. I sleep in the Shadow Cabin, Cabin 5. I've got to go, so you go in, find a bed and crash for the night. Ethan'll show you 'round tomorrow."

I hugged him. "G'night Keith."

He made no movement. "Good night." He removed my hands from my shoulders and walked towards the rest of the cabins.

Bewildered and exhausted, I opened the door to the cabin. Flipping on the light, I was amazed to see a beautiful chandelier lighting two curving stairs with beautiful dark oak wood floors and railings. The top floor, visible from where I was, led to a hallway. Calling gentle winds to lift me to the second floor (who uses stairs these days), I walked down the hallway. I went into the first door, entering a huge room with a king sized bed and the largest walk-in closet. In the closet, I found a black cape and yellow gloves that went to my elbows. Putting the outfit on, I found black clothes to wear below the cape. A mask was in the pockets.

Wearing the "superhero outfit" made me look scary. "Well," I said. "Apparently I'm wearing this tomorrow." I opened the large dresser and found much more clothes, anything a girl could want. "Never mind."

I crashed on the bed, exhausted. Almost immediately, sleep overtook me.

My dream was about a war between an army of cats and dogs in which I was an announcer. I woke up to the smell of eggs and toast. Opening my eyes, I screamed. "What the motherfu-"

A robot that looked suspiciously like something from a cartoon stood before me with eggs, cinnamon rolls, toast, and butter on a tray. I took the tray, interested and confused. It wheeled away out the door.

After eating my breakfast, I threw on jeans and a white T-shirt. After flying down the stairs, I walked to the main central area. People walked around aimlessly, but I wasn't looking at them. I was looking at the giant, Capital Building like structure standing before me. Blaze apparently conducted democratic government ways to his elementals.

I would've marveled more except for the scream coming from behind me.
