Before Torrent could finish the sentence, blaze butted in.
"You mean the Greek water dude." He interrupted.
"Yes." Torrent replied. "The water dude." He bent down to hide the grin on his face and then continued.
But before he could say another word, the door bust open and an average height boy entered, his face filled with excitement.
"I heard a fight." The boy said.
"It has finish whirl." Scar told him.
"So what are you doing." He said. He walked over to a bean bag and sat down.
"Torrent was just telling us a story." Ice said.
Whirl turned to Torrent. He looked at him long and hard, then spoke.
"You are the new water element team leader aren't you?" It was a statement not a question.
"Yes." Torrent replied. His throat was dry.
"Do you know how much troubled you caused?"
Torrent paused than said.
"I have only been here two weeks and already people don't like me."
"Respect is earned, not given."Whirl replied.
The boy stood up.
"You see torrent, after tide (the last water leader died) a guy called wave was favourite to be the next leader. Everyone respected him. Suddenly you turned up, not ever two years experience but still chaos gave you the position that most people would kill for. That is why people don't like you."
Understanding washed over Torrent faces. He thought about all the cruel looks he was given in the mess hall; how people had ignored him. He was friendless without Blaze, Scar, Shadow and Ice.
Whirl turned to the others.
"I thought you were on Wave side." Blaze, Scar, Ice and Shadow didn't answer.
"Do you hate me?" torrent interrupted.
"I don't know you yet." Said whirl, turning back to him. "I am sea team second in-commander by the way, your second in-command so I better know you if we are going to be working together, so do the team."
He turned to leave. As he was leaving, scar shouted at him.
"Get my team and the other teams too."
Whirl ran out of the room, slamming the door shut.
There was silent.
"We knew tide." Shadow said.
"A very good leader." Ice. "He won us the battle of Asoka castle of us.
"He was the one who told Chaos to make me leader of fire element." Blaze said. They waited there in silent.
Then torrent asked. "What makes the leader so special apart from they tell every one what to do."
Scar smiled. "They are trained by Chaos himself; he increases their speed, reflex agility and power."
"Yes that means my fire is hotter than the other." Blaze said. He snapped his finger and a red flickering flame appeared.
"That is jut like Leo." Torrent said in amazement. He had never seen blaze show his powers before.
"Show-off." Ice laughed.
Shadow kneeled down on the floor. He pushed into the ground and suddenly a skeleton dog appeared waging its bony tail. It skipped around the room and jumped on torrents lap. Suddenly it dissolved into white powder. Torrent jumped up with surprised.
Ice turned to torrent"
"Show us your power."
Torrent ignored him, and then with a sign he stood up and raised his hand up.
The ground began to shake and quiver. Slow than fast. Then with a wave of his hand, it stopped. He closed his eyes and frowned his face in concentration. From the floor, water began to gush out. But strangely Torrent didn't get wet. He raised his hand toward Scar, who was looking at him, and with a flick the water spiralled to her. Hitting her squarely on her chest and sending her flying towards the door.
At the same time the door opened and whirl appeared. Scar collided with him they fell backward landing on a heap on the floor.
"You're dead." Blaze whispered to torrent.
Scar and whirl slowly got up unable to look each other in the eye. There was sniggering behind whirl and a horde of people appeared chattering and joking. Scar with all the dignity she could manage, came and sat next to Shadow a thoughtful look on her face. The crowd at the door came in. Some share a few words with ice but then they sat down.
They all looked at torrent.
Whirl stood up. The crowd hushed. He was respected.
"This is Torrent." He said. His voiced vibrated around the room.
"Like all of us, he has a sad."… He stopped because at that moment the door opened.
A tall handsome lean boy, very much like torrent stepped through. He had a sword strapped on his hips and he stood in a pose that enabled him to defend himself.
From the crowd torrent could hear several people muttering the name wave. Wave walked through the crowd. They parted to let him through he said next to whirl.
"Carry on." He said.
There was a silent.
Torrent stood up nervously, aware that a lot of eyes were on him.
Standing in the huge room surrounded by many, torrent said the first word of his tale. The tale of the hero.
"I am a son of Poseidon; my name is Percy Jackson…..."
