Coincidences are peculiar things. If you were to look up the word coincidence in the dictionary, you would find the definition ; 'A remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent casual connection.' This is possibly the best and least complicated way of explaining how four seemingly ordinary teenagers from across the world came together and found they had something special.
Thinking about it, maybe the definition was a bit out. 'Casual connection' certainly is, for all four people shared one unusual thing in common; a birthmark, symbolizing an element, defining who they are and mapping out their life. The only ones of their kind in the known world.
A farm-boy from Arizona, a tour guide from Rome, a horse rider from Toronto and a school-girl from London are about to find that not everything is as it seems and they must sacrifice everything they hold dear if the world is to remain as they know it.

The Elementals
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.Complete

Mixing Elements
The balance of nature is a beautiful thing. Everyone knows that balance is helped by Mother Nature. What people don't know is that there is too much chaos in the world for one person to handle. Mother Nature needed help to keep the balance between humans and nature. She chose four people. Four elements. Fire, air, earth, and water. Four people to help control the world's balance with their element. These four people are chosen from birth. Fire is strong and confident, yet badly tempered. Air is free-spirited, often a dancer who likes gossip. Earth is stubborn and greatly built. A great debater. Water is calm and graceful. If you mess with them though they can be worse than fire. Mother Nature chooses the new generation of elements based on who they are inside from birth. She trains them to use their element in secret. If society knew the elements walked among them the results could be catastrophic. People can belief in someone bigger than themselves, but if they knew what really went on the balance would die. The elements are to tell no one of their powers. The four most often form two couples. Mainly fire with air, and earth with water. The balance naturally is two boys and two girls. This is the story of four talented people who changed the rules, and dealt with the biggest natural chaos of mankind, that mankind never knew.
Elemental Dividers (Sanders Sides) || Prinxiety and Logicality
Earth was known for its medieval periods in history, but Earth wasn't the only planet to have these times. On a planet that hadn't been dubbed a named as of yet, there were four kingdoms. What made this place so special and different from Earth was because of the fact that every human that roamed the landscape had one of the four elements: air, water, earth and fire. Although on this planet, they didn't call them by that. The kingdom of the fire elementals was the Flamma kingdom. The kingdom of the water elementals was the Mare kingdom. The kingdom of the air elementals was the Aura kingdom. And finally, the kingdom of the earth elementals was the Terra kingdom. The kingdoms were separated intentionally for the purpose that other elementals couldn't have any interaction with each other. However, when two pairs of individuals met each other, all from different kingdoms, chaos begins to rain down. Characters from Sanders Sides were created by the amazing Thomas SandersComplete
