Who would win if the deadliest sword was pitted against the strongest shield? One might say that neither could win, and so the fight would last to eternity. That is Equilibrium. Until the rules were broken.

My name is Tide. I'd love to say hi and all, but if I tell you my location two very bad things could happen. First, someone who isn't really on my list of favorite people might find the information. Then, they would hunt us down and try to use our powers to take over the world and other maniacal things. Yeah, not so fun. However, I'd like it if people knew how things really happened. You may see things on the news, and they may sound bad, but trust me, this is the real story. Because I'm an Elemental. And somebody needs to set the record straight.* [Action #101] [Fantasy #2] :: cover credit goes to the lovely ATXNNA :: *heyo so this book is pretty old, some (a lot of) spelling mistakes, some (a lot of) plot holes, but if you're looking for some fast paced action and some sarcasm and some cliche romance you should honestly just go to the second book but yeah, this has got that, just with, you know, the glaring faults in the story line. Just a warning.

One fateful night, Max Harper's story begins. I would like to dedicate this book to my wife and son. Unfortunately this story is semi-true. My wife had five grand Mal seizures (I was driving when the first one occurred. Luckily we were only a few miles from a hospital) which led doctors on a course I was not ready to sail. She was put in a medically induced coma for five days. She pulled through with flying colors. My son was born at 1 lbs. 7 ounces. He spent a total of 112 days in the NICU, numerous surgeries. The amazing nurses and doctors making this rugged journey a little more easy to deal with. My son showed me strength I only thought existed in fairy tales. They were the inspiration for this story. I love you two endlessly.

Gentle ripples passed over her, a watery caress that contrasted with her growing unease. Blinking slowly, Eliza tried to make sense of her situation. She found herself submerged, an unexpected aquatic world unfolding around her. Panic crept in as her ankles remained bound, immobilized as if by an unseen force. An attempt to move her arms yielded no results - they were ensnared in an unyielding grip. Seaweed, sinuous and trailing, wrapped itself around her legs with an almost possessive hold. Every movement was thwarted by the constricting tendrils, her struggles mirrored by the rippling sea plants. An urgency to breathe set in, her chest tightening in a desperate plea for air. But the very element that should sustain her had become a stifling barrier. A strand of slimy seaweed clung to her lips, smothering her mouth and nose. It seemed as if the water itself had turned against her, a sinister transformation that threatened to consume her.
