This corresponds with Chapter 47 of Elemental Wizardess (Heart), my original Wizardess story (and honestly this'll make a lot more sense if you read Elemental up to chapter 47). This story takes place at the same time as that part of Elemental (Ch 47-60ish). This story will be approximately over the span of a month in story time. It's pretty similar to Elias' original route, but it'll be entirely from his POV, not from my OC pairing for him. Enjoy!

And, this story will most likely be approximately 15 chapters plus this little prologue, as it's close to the original route. Most of what comes after will probably be fluff and fun chapters—extra's and whatnot, unless I decide to throw in another arc. But that's unlikely, at least for a long time, because Selene narrates most of what happens in the Elemental Spiral (which is what I'm calling all the stories that take place in the Elemental Wizardess (Heart) world—because it starts with Elemental and spirals outward from there ;) except for the starter/spin-off stories for the other characters. The chapters in this story, Taming, will be named after the chapters of the original route. Well, not the prologue, but the rest of them will be (until the end of the route).

For more of a more detailed explanation of the Elemental Spiral and all it entails, see my author page. :)

Enjoy! (and remember that it's all from Elias' POV)


Prologue—Selene's Disappearance

"Are you sure you should be going after her, Klaus?" I said, "I mean, I'm as worried as you are, but shouldn't you at least wait until Monday? She's probably coming back then."

He sighed, "I can't be sure about that. You didn't see her, Elias. I did. She looked empty, Elias. Empty."

"What?"

"She seemed to have nothing inside of her. She showed absolutely no emotion, and when have you ever known her to not show emotion? Something was clearly wrong. Elias, never in my life have I been this worried." My eyes widened as I looked at him—he was dead serious.

"You are, aren't you?" I replied, understanding, "Is there anything you want me to do? Prefect work or whatnot?"

He relaxed marginally, "Thank you. I'll let the headmaster know to direct any prefect work to you while I'm gone."

I nodded, "Make sure she's okay, please."

With that, he got up to go talk to the headmaster, and I left his room to go back to the dorm. I found Yukiya in our room, working on homework. He looked up when I walked in, face blank.

"She's gone." I said, "She's gone back to Terra."

"Why?" was all he said.

I sat on my bed, looking at the ceiling, "I don't know. But from what Klaus had seen yesterday when he found her, it can't be good." I propped my elbows on my knees and held my head in my hands, "And, I hate to admit it, but I'm worried. I feel like something awful has happened and my not being sure of exactly what is going on is making it worse. Did you hear her tarot reading?" He nodded, and I continued, "I feel like this corresponds to it. Something bad had happened, and it's just going to get a whole heck of a lot worse before it gets better."

"It'll all work out in the end." He said simply, turning back to his work, "It's Selene, after all." The unspoken "I hope." hung in the air as heavily as a boulder suspended above our heads.

I'm not sure how much that consoled me. I layed back on my bed. For the first time, I have absolutely no desire to be studying, no matter how much I know I'll regret it later.

I hope Selene's going to be okay.


Authoress: With the exception of right now and the last chapter, this'll be the only two with an ender. I've decided to make a fun fact instead of an ender, just to change it up. I feel like it'd be a bit too much to do endings with all the different Elemental Spiral stories. So only Elemental will have the endings.


Fun Fact 1: I literally finished this story the day after 2016 United States of America Presidential Election. Literally. I finished it around 11:30 a.m. I found out at around 6L00 a.m. that morning the Presidential Trump had won. In my journalism class, which is a very talkative type of class, I'm pretty much the only conservative in the class of liberals (granted there's only about 17 of us in that class, but still). Let's just say my classmates were extremely subdued that day. I, on the other hand, was having a great day (and not because of politics, which just give me a headache, but because I finished Taming XD)
