The Wind and The Sand Arc: First Meetings
The Sand let out a low hum as it sat on the beach, lazily watching the waves of The Water crash softly onto the sand.
The Water had informed The Sand that the eggs along the beach were due to hatch today and asked The Sand to help protect the little ones from predators, should they come by.
The Sand had agreed, as it had been The Sand who had helped the mother turtles pick out places to lay the eggs, and The Sand who protected them from being harmed while they waited to hatch.
Now it was just matter of waiting a little longer.
The Sand could feel the little movements of the eggs buried below and glowed with happiness. How proud the mothers and fathers shall be!
The Sand began to shift the sand away from the holes that it was covering, so that the little ones would have less trouble making their way to the water, when a strong gust of wind burst past The Sand.
The sand that it had sifted immediately covered the hole back up- this time with even more sand.
The Sand huffed, and begin moving again, only for the same thing to happen.
What was going on?
A giggle filled the air, and The Sand turned its attention to the space of above it, where the wind was blowing around in an unusual pattern.
It was The Wind Spirit, The Sand saw. The Sand had never spoke to The Wind directly before, preferring to keep to itself, but there The Wind was, whirling around above it.
As The Wind continued to cover up holes though, however unintentionally, The Sand decided right then and there that it did not like The Wind. At all.
The Wind however, did not seem to be aware of that.
Stop that! The Sand snapped as The Wind continued to move the sand around. Your ruining my work!
The Wind halted its playful spinning, shocked at the outburst. The Wind frowned.
What work? You are Sand, what could you possibly be doing that is so important?
And what was that supposed to mean?! How dare you! I am Sand, and-
The Sand was interrupted by a burst of wind which slammed down into its body.
How rude! Look, I'm just trying to help the-
The Wind crashed into the Sand again.
That it! The Sand whirled into the air, forming a wall of sand which collided onto the focus point of The Wind. It was a little silly, Sand attempting to fight Wind, but a big enough wall of packed sand could easily trap a bit of wind inside it.
The Wind's focus point shifted under the sand, before bursting out of it with laughter and crashing back down.
Oh, why you little-
Back on the shore, The Water sweetdroped at the sight of The Wind and The Sand whirling in the air, slamming into each other and generally acting like new-born spirits.
Below the sand, the baby turtles were already making their way up, happily ignoring the fighting spirits above and making their way towards the water.
Ah, well. The Water thought as the first baby turtles dived into the water. The little ones didn't really need our help anyway.

Many years later, The Sand and The Wind watched as Sandy and Jack whirled around in the air, forming a rain of sand and snow, laughing all the way as they did, and smiled.
And that my dear readers, is how The Wind first meet The Sand. Silly huh? Oh, and we meet a new Spirit of Old- The Water! Of course this take place a long, long time ago, but there you go. I wasn't sure about this chapter, but I decided to post it anyway.
What do you think about The Wind and The Sand's first meeting?
Oh, and I know I've updated just about everyday but I'll probably be sticking to once or twice a week soon. Sorry, but some of these chapters take a little time, you know? Plus, I'm on winter break, so while it's easy to update now, it won't be later. Ah, the life we live.
Anyway, reviews make me happy, so give me a shout! :) Speaking of shouts, here's a shout out to Falkrem, who is just the greatest friend a gal could ask for. Thanks for everything CD!
