This is my first story. I'm sorry if it's bad, but I need to start somewhere. I don't even think this will be noticed by anyone, due to it being an OC story. If you do end up reading this, I would greatly appreciate a review to know what I'm doing right, and what I should change. Enjoy

So, I am an elemental. An elemental is a being that has the power to manipulate one if the many elements of the universe. My element is fire. When an elemental is born, they are tested to see what their power is, and how well they can use it.

When we reach the age of 10, we are tested once more, by how well we can use it in combat, the worst part is that we are typically faced against others from our class. (your class in elemental culture is determined by your skill shown as a newborn and is how most kids meet their best friends. Which is why it is unpleasant to fight in these tests, knowing that your close friends are in there ready to fight back.)

My test was the worst experience I've ever had. I was beaten badly, because I hated using my powers after...anyway, I wanted to be a stone elemental so badly as a kid, because my best friend Terra was really good with his powers. He showed me a bunch of cool tricks he could do, while I could do nothing but shoot flames from my hand.

He said it was cool, but I always thought it was nothing compared to his ability to create pillars of rock straight from the ground of our home planet, Censtar. After the test, those of us who survive (long story short, some kids die) get to learn of our new jobs. I wanted so badly to be a medic, because I had recently learned that I could use my ability to heal small cuts and scrapes. But I nearly screetched with joy after I learned that Terra and I were both going to be defenders. (A defender is kind of like a super hero) Next we were told that the planet we were protecting was named Earth.

We were ready to go, but were told that it would take a couple of days before we were allowed to leave, so we were told to choose our new bodies in the mean time, (we needed new bodies so that we would blend into the planet and not give away our true identities) we could do as much research as we needed on the lifeforms of the planet and could choose our bodies based on our powers and preferences.

Over the course of a week, I did a lot of research on not only the humans, but also on my own power as well. I learned that I was the first fire elemental in over twenty years. I thought that was cool. I also learned that fire is an element that is controlled by emotion. There are only a few of these, and I was eager to learn more. I found some old books that talked about rage and hatred being big parts of controlling fire. After a bit more research on how humans interact and what I could do to regulate my powers, I was ready. I went in with Terra the Saturday before we were supposed to be shipped.

We were asked if we had thought about our bodies yet, we both said yes. We were escorted to a small room with two small chambers within. We each were told to step inside and we did. Inside I was greeted with a screen that showed many different options for my new body to be constructed. I quickly selected all of the features I had previously planned out. I finished within a minute and was scanned thoroughly by a machine inside the chamber.

I could feel myself changing to look like a human. I enjoyed the tingling feeling in my body as I was remade into a new being. I stepped out, looked into a mirror and admired my new look. I waited a few more minutes as Terra was still getting ready. He finally came out and I was surprised by his choice. I had gone with a basic caucasian teenage boy, because my power is based on rage, and I found out that teenagers have the most out of any other age in the species.

I chose a body that wasn't too attractive as I didn't want to draw any attention to myself. I went with slightly muscular, but not huge, and a 'six pack', because I was the only one who would see it. I chose dark hair, and was hoping to get brown eyes as well, but eyes weren't a choice. Looking in the mirror, I saw that the machine had given me red eyes, but I didn't mind. It looked kind of... cool.

Terra, however came out as a huge, bulking, black man with muscles the size of watermelons. I'm not even exaggerating, they were huge. I noticed that he had also chosen dark hair, and he had brown eyes. I was confused by the eyes not being a choice, but shrugged it off.

We walked out of the room and passed two kids about our age that looked as though they were waiting for their turns to make new bodies. I didn't see them very well, but I can say that they were a boy and a girl. As Terra and I walked to the ship that would soon take us to Earth we got inside and met a boy who looked to be about a year younger than us, he smiled and introduced himself to us.

"Hi, I'm Aerro." (pronounced like arrow) "I want to be your friend."

"Uh, OK. I'm Terra. I would love to be your friend!"

"Yes!" the boy whispered to himself, pumping his fist into the air. "And you are?" He turned to me and blinked.

I glaced at him with a frown, being honest I thought this kid was a bit annoying. Then, in my deep, angry voice I said, "My name is Damien."

So? Tell me what you think. I need to know if this was good. I think I should pace the next part a bit better, but other than that I think it was OK. Also, the next chapter will have more dialogue than this, I was just testing the app in this one to get a feel of the way it works. Until next time, stay Wah-nderful.
