My race isn't common, some say we are merely a myth - that the only people who have such powers are wizards. Some people even relate us to Ents, whom take on the appearance of trees and are found in Fangorn Forest... a place Humans dread to enter. But Wizards and Ents cant compare to my family, as strong as they are, they do not have to control over the elements as we do. They may be able to manipulate it in some way, but we Elementalist are the very elements that are found everywhere, we are the only thing that you cannot hide from, we are an unyielding force.

We live to protect all of mankind from the shadows, helping a wandering traveler with a sense of vagary stay warm at night, we protect the warriors from the blazing sun by providing shelter in the trees, or even a cave; and in dark times like these, where we are threatened of our peace as well, an element is set out to fight against the opposing force.

I, Ákos, the water Elementalist, have been chosen to aid the wizard Gandalf in the journey to Mordor where Sauron threatens to take over.
"Ákos," Arcadia called out to me. "Dagan has prepared something for your journey."

Arcadia has fought many wars, and though she prefers the title of a woman she has the respect of all who know her name, for she also helped in the demise of Sauron. For those reasons, she has earned our individual respect too and is now our leader.

I nodded, "I will be on my way then."
I found the fire Elementalist,Vulcan, sitting on the ground next to Dagan, the earth Elementalist, who was leaning up against the tree that cradled his body perfectly. They were in deep conversation as they both fiddled around with an article of clothing.
"Ah, Ákos!" Dagan exclaimed with a welcoming smile. "Come here, we were just discussing your armor."
I watched as they unfolded a cloak, a gold color formed intricate patterns around what looked to be where the shoulders are, white rimmed all of the gray material and gold was shaped in a diamond form around the various of colors that represented the elements and was placed in intricate spots.
"First," Vulcan pointed to the diamond shapes, "with whatever element you are using the color will glow on these."
Dagan then pointed to both the fire diamond on the hood that was surrounded by more of the gold pattern, and the red and white chest armor that seemed as though it would fit my figure snugly and be able to bend and form at my will.

"We know fire is your least able element so we added these in hopes to help you, Vulcan made special care to make so it will boost the fire element, but not by much." He said.
"It was very complicated, the first I have ever done." Vulcan said playfully with a smirk.
I let a small smile tug at my normally pursed lips, "Gratitude. I wont let it go to waste."
"Try it on." Dagan urged.

The Gods have given us a body, but we are not completely human, so we all feel no shame in our nakedness. We initially have bodies to better communicate and protect the residents of Middle Earth, but that is all. We do not feed, sleep, nor reproduce like them because it is unnecessary; when we pass away the Gods can recreate us using their powers, our nutrients are from the healthy earth that surrounds us, and we do not have genders that set us apart from each other, we do not have what normal males and females have. Elementalist are all on equal grounds and treat each other with respect and dignity, like all should.

Dagan and Vulcan handed me each piece, I first slipped on the tight fit black legging that had white lines and swirls on them, then the plain black tight fitting top, the red chest armor that left my hips free to move, then a garb half skirt made of leather that had a pointed golden belt in the middle of my hips and a long black, white, and gold wide leather part of the skirt in the middle that didn't connect with the other piece. All in all it was very light, and it doesn't constrict my movements.
"It suits you perfectly." Smiled Vulcan, "Here's the cloak now."

I slipped it over my shoulders as they continued to discuss my wear.
"I told you the white would fit perfectly with Ákos's white hair and pale skin," Dagan said smugly. "Speaking of which, it's paler than usual. Are you not absorbing the earth surrounding us?"
The armor allowed me to shrug with ease, my mind has been set on the journey for the past fortnight. "I've forgotten to feed, perhaps it's the excitement?"
Dagan smiled warmly at me, "You're first 'adventure', as Gandalf would call it."
"More of a mission I would say," added in Vulcan. "Now, we both want to see how the diamonds work, so create some clean water for us."

I chuckled as I made a stream flow through the ground.

Hey guys, it's been, what? 11 months? Well, I decided that since I re-read it and it sucked that I'd try again and redo the chapter. If you like the other one just tell me.
