I headed down the huge hill blocking my cabin from the rest of humanity. Well, not exactly. My cabin was behind a huge hill, but it wasn't necessarily blocking me from the rest of humanity. My village was on the other side of the hill, which made it pretty hard to get there.

The water inside the bucket I was holding sloshed around. It kept attempting to spill over the edge and get at my shoes... But it never succeeded, thankfully. The water was for my village. I was closest to the well in the center of the forest, so of course I was the one who had to get the water.

As I walked down the hill, I couldn't help thinking about my official ceremony coming up in a day or two. I was finally fifteen! Every Elemental looks forward to the year they turn fifteen. That's the year we are accepted as an official Elemental. Too tell the truth, I was bursting with new found enthusiasm about the whole thing. I used to loath the thought of it... But now, it was different.

I, of course, was none other then a electricity Elemental. My electrical powers were already setting in. All I could do so far is turn off a light. But hey, at least that's something.

One other person was joining me in the ceremony. This dude named Archer. Air Elemental, I suspect. With a name like Archer, it's hard to be anything else.

I was almost to the water house now. I could see it a couple blocks down. I sighed. God I hated this part. I couldn't wait for the ceremony, I just couldn't wait.

"-Do you Zendra, accept the role of an Elemental." Norman, our Village Master, asked me. My heart beat faster then it ever had before.

"I-I accept."

"Welcome." Norman threw his hands in the air, signaling for applause.

Claps broke out all around me. For the first time ever, I actually felt proud.

The same thing happened for Archer, and the celebration began.

The ballroom looked absolutely extravagant. The people and things around me took my breath away.

My bottom of my dress made a pleasing sound as it scraped the ground. I made my way towards the balcony, sighing as I went. Nobody had even congratulated me yet. They all just loved Archer. A swarm of people had gathered around him, laughing and partying like he was just the awesomest person ever.

I leaned over the balcony's edge. My arms rested gently on the concrete banister. The summer air felt great against my chilled face.

"Congrats."

I jumped. "Oh, um, thanks." I smiled as I saw who it was. Archer himself was standing there in front of me. "Ditto."

He smiled. "You look nice."

I suddenly felt very self conscience. "Thank you." I blushed. "You look rather handsome yourself."

Laughing, his smile widened. He joined me by the balcony edge, his shoulder touching mine as he leaned.

"It's beautiful out." He murmured.

I nodded. "Very."

He glanced at me.

Moonlight lit up his face. I blinked repeatedly as I looked at him... I had never seen his features so close up before. He was handsome. Like... really handsome. Soft green eyes... light brown hair. Oh God.

A sly smile crept onto his face. "You okay?"

I snapped back into reality, still blinking hard. "Oh, uh, yeah! I'm fine. Totally fine." I smiled right back.

"So, you're an electricity, eh?"

"Correct... Air?"

"How could I be anything else?" Archer chuckled.

I couldn't help smirking.

"Something wrong?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, no." I giggled. "Just... Air... Archer... Archery..." I laughed at my own lame words.

"Riiiiiiiight..." He got one of those expressions on his face that said 'God, what a weirdo'.

I straightened myself, quickly running my hands over the wrinkles in my dress. "Can't wait for training." I muttered quietly.

"Oh, yeah. I'm heading up to Zuni Mountain tomorrow."

"Ugh, really?" I rolled my eyes in frustration. "Apparently I'm going to the 'fortress', or whatever."

He laughed. "That's not too bad... They have great weapon training."

"You think so?" I smiled. "I just hope I won't have to use those bamboo poles."

Chuckling, he nodded in agreement. "Let's all hope."
