When I was nine, I realized I could manipulate earth, Since I'm a human, there's only one way for that to be possible and that's if I'd made a contract with a Sprite. Sprites gift those with the capability of wielding mana the connection to an element that they can bend and manipulate. It's very rare for it to happen perhaps ten in every 100 people have the ability, so when one person can manipulate an ability it's a big deal. Everyone has to make a contract to wield an element, it's just how it works but I didn't remember ever making one. Some people thought I'd just forgotten or dismissed it as my imagination, until my 17th birthday that is. That's when we found out I was different. I didn't remember making a contract because I never had, And that made me dangerous.
