Elementum

For thousands of years, there have been tales of people or animals that could control the elements. These people were called the elementals, and we were told that they were nothing but a legend.
But contrary to belief, these people are real, and the elements that they control, aren't what we thought they'd be. There are seven of them, and for each generation, seven Elementals are made.
I believed that the inability that humans had to control these elements was all natural. These elements were myths, and for that very reason, we had no reason to disbelieve anything that our parents had told us.
But I was dead wrong. These Elementals were real, and as I was soon about to find out, I was one of them.
