I was powerful then. I was more powerful than I had been in a long time. I suspended myself in the air on top of a column of fire. This was when I had been living out in the country, where no one could ever see me. Until she was there. If she hadn't come along, I might've stayed powerful and secretive all my life, which is a life that I would've liked. I would've been solitary and cozy in my own country house. But she was similar to me. We were both some of the elementals.

My name is Travis Alburn. I was born and raised in the country by myself. I am never cold. Heat runs through my body. When I was a younger child, and unaware of my power, I hardly even knew my family. When I noticed the power that I carried, I realized how it was linked to the rest of my family. All of the Alburns (as far as I know) have been a line of fire elementals. All of my family was always warm. They held a cozy, glowing fire in their souls. There were always many fires lit throughout my old forest cabin that I once lived in. And lastly, They all despised all forms of water.
Let me explain the expanded subject of elementals. Elementals is the name for the group of people who bestow the power to control elements of nature. The four main elements on the elemental chart (I made a mental chart for this) are fire, water, wind, and nature. Each main element may lead to another similar power. Fire, for example, leads to light or lava, while water expands to ice or steam. Similarly, nature goes on to earth power, and wind connects to breeze. Some of the elements are more powerful than others. Obviously, some beholders of powers will come to believe that their element is the strongest or most important. In reality, many powers are equally strong, however, powers such as breeze, are not very strong (do not tell any breeze elementals I said that). I am very sure that there are some elements that I have not come to mention, but I didn't go to school to study or get a book of this stuff.
I still think back to the day that I learned about my powers. It was my fit of rage that led to my discovery of powers and the annihilation of a large field. I was questioning myself on why my family had left me. I was getting so enraged over something that I didn't even know about. All I knew was I found myself one day in the middle of an abandoned country house in the middle of no where. Was it even my family's fault? I didn't even know. But I was mad about it. I was really mad.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!?!" I screamed, "WHY IS EVERYBODY GONE? I.....I..." My voice slowly faded. I sat on the ground and started to sort out my thoughts. Somehow, I had forced myself to decide that it was all my family's fault, and I had no chance at life out here. Then I threw myself to my feet. I stared evily at my feet. Then I let out a large yell of pain that sounded like, "YYYAAHHHHHH!!!" Everything around me disappeared in a blaze of light. I felt like I was trampled to the ground by a herd of elephants. My head started throbbing. The light that surrounded me faded to a cold-and-menacing-black-abyss-of-death type of color.
