There is one rule in this competition: You must write your own song.
'I don't have a song...' Ari stood on the stage, looking out at her friends.
'Guys, I've changed my mind. Use your elements, please! I need that inspiration!'
'Thought you'd never ask!' Cried Ana, then flames flew high, water spiralling around them, vines flying up through the water and flowering at the top. Ari smiled, then opened her mouth and began to sing.
"When I was young/ I fought my own battles/ Took my losses and my/ Victories with pride!
When I was young/ I fought my own fights/ Until one night when I/ I fell in deep.
I never meant to/ To do this/ To hide behind my lies and/ my thoughts.
I never meant/ To act this way/ To make a shield of/ My emotions.
When I was young/ I fought my own battles/ Took my losses and my/ Victories with pride!
When I was young/ I fought my own fights/ Until one night when I/ I fell in deep.
With this raging mix of emotions/ Building up inside of me/ What can I look for and/ What can I see?
When I open my eyes/ To the world outside/ To the fire, the water/ The earth and the air!
Oh, when I was young/ I fought my own battles/ Took my losses and my/ Victories with pride!
And when I was young/ I fought my own fights/ Until one night when I-I/ Oh I fell in deep!!
When the truth comes/ Don't try and run/ Face the fight head on/ Let it come crashing down
Don't try and hide/ Like I did that night/ When my world was turned/ Upside down.
When I was young/ I fought my own battles/ Took my losses and my/ Victories with pride!
When I was young/ I fought my own fights/ Until one night when I/ I fell in deep.
With nothing to/ Hold me up I/ Had to try/ A new way of life
Stumbling and falling/ Powerless to the world/ I'm just a girl/ I'm just a gi-i-irl!
Oh when I was you-ou-oung/ I fou-ought my own battles/ I took my losses and my/ Victories with pride
And when I was young/ Oh I fought my own fights/ Until one night when I/ When I-I-I
When I was young/ I fought my own battles/ Took my losses and my/ Victories with pride!
When I was young/ I fought my own fights/ Until one night when I/ I fell in deep.
Until one night when I/ Until one night when I/ Until one night when I-I-I/ I fell in deep..."
For a moment, everyone was silent, then the round erupted into roars and cries of appreciation. Ana sent flame shooting up into the air, making it burst like fire works. The three judges stood, cheering and whooping, and Ari got a 10 from each of them. The female judge cried out over the din "You have the voice of an angel!"
'No,' thought Ari, 'I have the voice of an Elementor!'
