Elia has finally triggered the posession of her ability. To tame blue fire. It was meant to be a blessing, but the way she received it was not. The process to obtain the control takes too much for someone like her. She wasn't ready, for the people she was bound to work with, the people she was supposed to fear and the people who WILL come after her for the gem she holds within her.
From then on, it is not Elia who will live on, but the gem. If it escapes from her grip, she's dead. Even if the people still manages to stay alive after they no longer have there given ability, then they live a long, painful death.
A Septer is what she is now, the good side of the Gem Bearers who learn control and train to stay alive in life. Crystal Elm is where they all belong, their home. It was the only safe place away from the Sixers, the turned backs of the Septers, and the Falconers, killers of the kinds.
Be careful not to get caught or run into any Sixers and Malarcs. If you do, fear for your last breath .. Because I will ..
