Scrierea and Sora

"What's an Elemental? And since when am I one?" Aster asked incredulously.

Ultima laughed at his confusion, "You have been one for awhile, just been unaware of such." He smiled, "You have the blood of Zeus flowing through your veins from what I can tell, maybe others as well; it's too early to tell." He looked to the sky, "As for what one is…an Elemental is a person with the ability to control an element in any one of its forms. As you may have surmised, I am the Elemental of Light."

Aster just stared at him, "Is that really all that it is? Really?"

"Yup, that's it. What, did you expect more?" Ultima looked at him amusedly

"So, you said I had the blood of Zeus right?" Ultima nodded, "Then that means, I must be able to control electricity or something like that right?"

"Exactly, so I need to take you to my place and train you, so that you don't lose control of it in any given situation." He thought for a second, "You'll also meet a few other Elementals, I sense great power within you, so you may have more blood in you than just Zeus's."

"Are you sure you can just take me out of school like this?" Aster questioned.

"Look at the building," Aster did as he was told, "Most of the building is severely damaged, and the entire roof is gone. I'd say that's overkill on Fulgora's part."

"Fulgora?" Aster looked genuinely confused.

"The woman that attacked me, and got the living crap scared out of her." Ultima looked satisfied with what he did, and Aster snickered at the memory.

"What about my mom? How will you tell her?" Aster said solemnly.

"The question is, how will you tell her?" Ultima said gently, "I can't be doing all of this for you, you'll have to do some of it yourself."

Aster looked down and said, "Okay, let's get this over with…"

On the walk back to Aster's house, Ultima told him the different signs that gave him away as an elemental, and how he himself became one. Before Aster knew it, they were at his house, and when he went inside, he noticed that Ultima was no longer with him, or so he thought. "I'm here. It's best if she not see me, so I bent the light around me to render myself invisible to the human eye." Aster nodded then turned to his mom.

"Mom, I have to leave for a while--" Aster started but his Mom stopped him.

"I know you have to leave, just be careful okay?" His Mom said, and then hugged him, "I don't want to lose you the way I lost your father okay?" Aster nodded then said, "Okay, I'll be careful. I promise." Then he left without another word.

"So where exactly do you live, Ultima?" Aster suddenly asked.

"I live in the sky over Japan with another Elemental. Scrierea, the Elemental of Fire, be careful around her, she's a little eccentric." Ultima cringed a little, "Well, let's get going. I'll have to teleport you if we're going to get there anytime soon."

Ultima raised his hands and began to charge light energy and surround himself as well as Aster with that same energy. His eyes inverted and he shouted, "Light-year Teleport!" And a huge flash of light engulfed himself and Aster and they disappeared, but unknown to them, there was one witness. Aqua ran home in a rush, majorly unhappy that Aster was leaving.

Ultima and Aster reappeared at a fortress suspended in the sky. The fortress itself was huge, yet to the people below; it was nothing more than a large cloud. The fortress was gold in color, and at the top of it were four statue, two phoenixes, one topaz the other ruby, a turquoise eagle, and an emerald dragon.

"We have all but the dragon." Ultima said.

"What?" Aster said, confused.

"You were looking at the statues. They symbolize who is supposed to live in this fortress, I am one of those phoenixes, you'll see the other two in a minute." Ultima explained.

They walked through several hallways until they reached a large, decorated room. Inside was a lot of ornate furniture. "Have a seat Aster" Ultima said, "I'll go get the others." Ultima left just for a few moments and reentered with two women, one with red phoenix wings on her back, the other with blue eagle wings on her back.

The girl with the blue wings approached Aster and introduced herself, "Hello, my name is Sora. I am the wind elemental, and a descendant of Ouranos, may I ask your name?" She gave him a warm smile, and he consented.

"I'm Aster, apparently I'm an elemental too. According to Ultima, I have the blood of Zeus so I would say that I'm an electric elemental." Aster said.

Sora nodded and said, "Yes, that's a very possible outcome, well you've met Ultima so I guess Scrierea needs to introduce herself now." She turned to the girl with the red phoenix wings, "Scry, introduce yourself."

"Okay, okay, I'm coming." She walked up to Aster, "Hi Aster! I'm Scrierea, Scry for short. I'm the Fire Elemental, and descendant of Hephaestus."

Now I know what Ultima meant by "a little eccentric." This chick's nuts! Aster thought, "Nice to meet you both. Now can someone tell me what the hell is going on here!?"

All applications for Elementals are no longer being accepted because all positions have been filled. Hope you liked this one, Scrierea and Sora do not belong to me they belong to My Chemical Necromance and Luna345 respectively.

Review please, and I apologize for the lateness of this update, things have been getting a little hectic. Be sure to review and I'll up the pace a bit.
