The Elemental Chronicles: The Beginning of the End

Chapter 17

Skylar of the Sky Nation

"Ender Star!! Your an Elemental!!" Skylar yelled realizing what happened so suddenly she startled Ender Star and caused her to drop the book she was trying to read.

"I'm a what?" Ender Star asked throwing a questioning glance at Skylar.

"An Elemental, your able to harness all the elements that the Nations can use individually." Skylar answered.

"How is that possible? I'm just an End Nation Warrior." Ender Star replied and Skylar tapped her nails on the two crystals on Ender Star's necklace.

"Every Nation leader had a Necklace like your own with an elemental crystal on it, if a crystal finds an elemental it will join necklaces with the Elemental allowing them to control the elements of the crystals. And now you can harness The Ender element and Fire element." Skylar explained excitedly.

"What does that mean for me?" Ender asked looking at the necklace.

"It means that if you find all the elemental Crystals you could lead all the Nations!" Skylar answered.

"Whoa, I didn't sign up for that, I can't lead the Nations! I'm just a girl, I mean yeah I'm Ender Star but that's because I'm the last End Nation Warrior. Can't I give the Fire Crystal back to Fire Star?" Ender Star asked and Skylar shrugged. Ender Star slipped the necklace off her head and held it in her hands the red and purple crystals shimmering in Ender Star's palms.

"There has to be someone else who can do this, the Nations need a real leader, if they even need one." Ender Star said putting the necklace on the purple Shulker Box next to her bed.

"What if you are a leader, and you just don't know it yet?" Skylar asked.

"I wouldn't last an hour as a leader Skylar." Ender Star said and Skylar gave her a 'seriously?' look.

"What's that look for?" Ender Star asked.

"Evidence would suggest that you'd last longer than an hour, look how long you've already survived as a leader." Skylar replied and Ender Star shook her head.

"I haven't been a leader at all." Ender Star argued.

"But you have, when you first met with Blaze you asked him to leave with you, that was you being a leader, when you saved Flare with that Dragon Acid trick, that was you being a leader, you declaring peace between the two clans who'd been fighting for generations, even thought it was too late, you were a leader, so in all honesty you are a leader and you just don't know it." Skylar protested.

"I guess but if I'm a leader why am I not brave like End Star was, or smart like Sky Star, or confident like Frost Star?" Ender Star asked.

"You're confident about taking care of your dragon, you're brave for flying out into the storm to help Flare, and You knew that Ender Dragon Acid would get Flare out from under that tree and smart for knowing her leg was broken. You are a leader." Skylar said by her tone Ender Star knew that the conversation was over, she blew out the lantern and lay down on her bed as Skylar stood and left the tent.

"But am I?" Ender Star mumbled to herself as Skylar left.
