Element...
... is set in the Land of Departure, when he learns to glide; not that he actually does until Neverland.
If you ask, Firaga Burst is somewhat like magma, which is made of rocks.
Rocks melt faster with water.
"On Top of the World"...
...is set in Land of Departure. The two themes are directly connected.
Zero...
...is set in Olympus Coliseum. Couldn't really think of anything, and I like Zack—not Hercules. XD
and...
Snow...
...is set in Land of Dragons, not that Ven goes there at all.
When I saw the prompt, I immediately thought of the summit in Land of Dragons...which is where they are.
You may have noticed that there are only 4 themes in this chapter.
That is because I switched out the second Snow with Short and Sweet, so I can just combine the two prompts.
It's 200 words now.

Element
Ven stared at the sky, hands on his belly as he floated just a few feet off the ground, just because he could.
He didn't find it so surprising, after he found out what his name meant, that his element was wind.
Terra did a superb job in controlling his element, since he was strong to begin with.
Aqua did an even better job; she used her water to strengthen her magic, such as this move she attempted; Firaga Burst. It needed rock, fire, and water.
Their elements were for offense, but all Ven found in his element was cowardice.
"On Top of the World"
"Wow, Ven. That high?" Terra called to him once, when Ven was busy flying like a bird.
"Yeah," Ven shouted back, but it seemed forced, "this high."
Ven heard Terra chuckle, and much to his surprise, he wasn't surprised.
"I wish I could do that, too." Terra says. "To feel like you're on top of the world; it must be a really incredible feeling."
To that, he was a bit surprised.
Ven lowered himself and looked up at Terra with the most sincere eyes.
"Thank you." then he ran off somewhere.
"...for what?"
Zero
Ven was swaying to and fro, from tiptoes to the balls of his feet. He was watching Zack train, doing squats.
"So, it doesn't matter to you what others think, huh...?"
"When it comes to criticism like me never making it, then yes, it doesn't matter." Zack replied cheerfully.
"It doesn't bother you, what that guy said?" Ven's eyebrows furrowed in thought.
Zack stopped. "What guy?"
"That guy," Ven said, like he should have known, "that guy who called you a zero."
"Oh," Zack laughed, "now why would that get to me?"
Snow
"Oh, hello," Ven looked up to see a young woman, "what are you doing here, alone?"
"Nothing, really. I should ask you the same thing." Ven replied.
"I'm merely exploring. I'm not actually supposed to be here."
Ven stared at her, then smiled. "You're really going to get in trouble."
"Yes. Oh, my name's Mulan."
The other smiled, ready for a handshake,"Ven."
"Nice to meet you," she let go of his hand, "you looked serious; is something wrong?"
"A bit," he replies, "but nothing you should be concerned about. What about you? There must be a reason why you went exploring."
"I was just thinking and let my feet walk for me."
"Thinking about...?"
"Who I am, exactly," she replied, "I put on this facade to other people. Except maybe you," She smiles.
Ven smiled back, "why do you need to? It's you, and people should respect that, shouldn't they?"
Mulan began to look serious. Ven frowned, "see this snow? It falls anywhere it pleases. You should be like the snow; do what you want, be who you are."
She nodded, "I suppose."
