Balance (Hamburr Elemental AU)

Prologue

Wowie look at that a new book on a topic and ship that isn't written about much but should really be. The beginning is the same as my one shot of this but I'll most likely add more. Hope you guys enjoy this book!

The teacher sat all the kids down in a circle to tell them a story of their soon to be talents. It was a story that the kids looked forward to every year.

"As you guys grow up, you will start to learn your talents. Each person will find what suits them best and when they do, the symbol of it will appear in their eyes!"

The teacher used her eyes as an example. It was a pencil. "What does it mean?" A child with curly hair and an abundance of freckles asked.

"It means that I'm good at writing and everything of the sort," the teacher smiled and got up, going to the board and writing a sentence on the board. To the kids, it looked as simple as ever, making it easy for them to comprehend but for the teacher, there were many different forms of the sentence that she could choose and set.

One kid, a quiet one who usually stayed out of trouble pointed to the 4 symbols of the board. "What do those mean?"

"Oh! Those are the special talents. They are the 4 elements that represent earth. There's Earth ironically enough, that deals with rocks and trees and stuff like that. Then there is water, that one is bound to water. There's air, which means that one is bound to air, and finally fire, the one that is bound to fire."

A child with coily, poofy, yet amazingly soft hair and dark skin raised their hand.

"Yes?" The teacher asked.

"What makes them so special?" The kid asked.

"They are the ones that are supposed to keep the Earth in check. However there are multiple of them. It's very rare to have an elemental talent but it's not limited to 4 people."

"Are they dangerous?" The freckled kid called out.

"Well, they can be unstable at times. For example, a person with the fire talent is the most unstable of the entire group due to the nature of fire. Fire is known to destroy everything in its path, which means that a person who has a fire talent usually is drawn to danger and is quite reckless," the teacher explained.

"What about the others?" A young girl in a yellow jacket asked, her hair was in a ponytail and she was missing her front two teeth.

"Ice is fires opposite. Ice usually is more calm and tends to stay away from the action. Ice talents usually don't feel all the ranges of temperatures as they usually feel more chilly than anything else, unlike fire who usually is feeling warm all the time. Water is another calm one, they can be risk takers as well. They usually go with the flow. Earth is a combination of them all and is usually quite energetic. Earth and water go hand in hand to make sure things are alive and well on the Earth. It's kind of like how Fire and Ice keep each other in check, mainly Ice making sure fire doesn't do anything crazy."

The kids were all stunned. One asked when they would receive their talent.

"It's only comes natural to you. You can get it when you are young or old, but most receive their talent when they are in middle/high school." The kids nodded and started discussing what they wanted their talent to be.

"I want mine to be an animal!"

"I want mine to be food!" (Me)

"I want mine to be of painting!"

"I want mine to be like clothes"

All the kids words mashed together and the teacher sighed. She sat down and scanned the room, noticing one kid who sat in their chair and read quietly, only talking to those who came up to him.
