Phoenix scanned the curves of Lainie's body with cautious eyes. Skepticism seemed to be the only other emotion he could muster besides anger. "Trust is a five letter word, Ms. Alaine." "Yeah, and what does that have to do with anything?" He inched closer, clenching his jaw as if he were holding back a million secrets. "So is death." A sly smile turned up the corners of her mouth. "Finally," she sighed, "Something we can agree on." ~~~~~~~~~~~ War is inevitable. Someone always wants power. Someone always wants control. But only one can have both. Lainie Alaine: Water Elemental of the Aqua Clan. Strong? Yes. Different? Subjective. Saving grace? Absolutely. Aware? Not even in the slightest. The year is 2024. Elemental's had been hiding away for centuries living in peace among the humans, and Lainie, along with her mother, was one of them. But peace never lasts forever. A war centuries in the making is brewing in the silence, and once the final move is made and the pieces have all been placed, the end of the human race begins. Who will stand victorious in the end all depends on one Water Elemental's gift she doesn't even know she has, and one mysterious encounter with a man from a supposedly extinct breed of Elemental's. But there's always a fine line between who you can trust, and who is just trying to win. Let the Elemental's War begin.
