I was sitting on my throne in the inky depths of the ocean when an air bubble appeared in front of me. It was Air and it seemed she had sent me an emergency call.
"Hello sister, why do you call me? Of what do require my assistance?" I said
"Well actually-"
"Why do you call me after this two millennia"
"It's because-"
"2 thousand years sister and you on- mm hmm m mmh"
I huffed in frustration and sat as my older sibling used the the air monecules in my element to clamp my mouth shut.
"Thank you sister" she said calmly as if nothing happened. " anyway I'm sure it has come to your attention that the overworld has grown dark."
I looked up in confusion 'really?' As I watched the sky grew dark before my eyes, in horror it slowly spread thorough the ocean until it was pitch dark and I heard the crys and pleas from my people to help. My mind almost exploded fro the amount of mental stress being placed on my brain. I held back a scream not wanting to look like a fool before my sister.
"Yes , it has claimed my attention"
I squeaked trying to force confidence that just wouldn't come.
"We need to meet to discuss this new threat along with the other elementals"
"Of course" I said "I knew that."
"Moving on," Air changed the subject slightly
" I need you to contact Earth whilst I contact our brother and you know you can't contact fire because of your 'relationship' and contact methods"
I tried to open my mouth but only 'mmphhs's were released so instead I nodded.
"Right then, I shall leave you now."
and with a flick of her hand the bubble disappeared and my mouth was released. After moving my jaw round continuously for 5 minutes, I decided that air wasn't the boss of me and that before contacting my brother,
I decided on going to check on my daughter as she is a huge part of winter and would weaken it if scared.i travelled up to the arctic to Ice's igloo, disgusted by its simplicity. She was the queen of the oceans daughter for goodness sake!
As I entered the tiny thing, I spotted my daughter curled up on her bed in terror as she couldn't see as much as me. My emotions wanted inside, I was angry that she was acting this way in a time of crisis I raised her to be a strong leader, and the boss of everything. On the other hand my mothering instincts were working on overdrive to see if my only baby was okay.
I went for a mix of the two
"Baby" I started " I know it's scary but I raised you to be a leader, the boss, and in times of crisis you have to be atrong for the people elsewhere that can't, you have to act like your mother, like me. Isn't that how I raised you"
"I know but-"
" no buts" I replied "you've got to be exactly like mummy, strong, can you do that for me?"
"Maybe but-"
"No Buts," I said with a slight more anger, she looked scared and I realised what I'd done. In attempt to fix it I said
"Look, why don't it cuddle your polar bear he'll help'
She nodded and plodded over to snowy where she cuddled down and lay between his fur. I couldn't believe it about 1500 years and she still acts like a baby. Huffing I made the journey back to my water / ice palace and headed to my grand messaging chamber ( that I had never even used) so I could finally contact Earth.
I stepped inside and went into my concentration state where I was fully focused on my mind. I reached out to the mountain I knew earth had lived on for the past 2 millennia and searches for his green energy signal. Once I had found it I concentrated into making the water vapour in the air form into a portal type mirror thing which was similar to that invention 'FaceTime?'
It was about 5 minutes before it worked and when it did I saw Earth staring at me through the screen I created, when he said.
"What do you want sister"
