Elements of Water

            Morana (More-Anna) was sitting at the edge of an old pirate ship. She stared off into the gray bleakness of the sky and let her feet dangle in the icy waters below. The ship was just a relic of days of old, half sunken and forgotten in some arctic wasteland that humans dared not to go. She loved it. Morana wore black jeans, thick black boots, a gray pirate shirt from the seventeen hundreds, a dark blue pirate captains coat that hung down to her shins and a matching captains hat. Elementals could wear anything they wanted because they could change their appearance, clothes, skin color, shape, gender, as they pleased. All elementals stuck to one form though, they all decided on a preferred appearance long ago. Morana had black hair, gray eyes and pale blueish skin. She looked like a young twenty something girl, who was also a pirate captain, that freshly drowned. It suited her fine.

            Elementals were immortal and they didn’t need to eat or sleep, so they had a lot of time on their hands. Most of the chaotic elements would keep to themselves in quiet solitude, staring off at their favorite scenery. Most do. Kaji the chaotic fire element did things a little differently, as for the peaceful light elements, they were another breed altogether. Morana let out an annoyed sigh and crinkled up her face like she smelled something foul. Just thinking about the light elements made her sick. She couldn’t believe that they were all once from the same element. One element kept popping into her head though, Seigh the water element of peace and light and all that sickening nonsense. Morana couldn’t stop thinking about him, she couldn’t decide if she loved him or hated him more than anything she had ever hated before. “erraaah!” She screamed throwing her hand out in frustration. An iceberg was lifted out of the water and thrown off into the distance by this one gesture.

            While Morana sat and fumed, Seigh was probably out having the time of his ‘life’. Interloping with the humans, eating their disgusting food, laughing and acting like one of the lesser beings. Morana couldn’t sit still any longer. She jumped into the water and vanished from sight.

            All elementals could detect other elements, so Morana knew exactly where Seigh was. She appeared on the beach. It was annoying bright and sunny. People dotted the beach with their towels and sun umbrellas, they were a blight on the landscape and Morana wished she was allowed to do something about it. How easy it would be to wipe this beach off the face of the map. Morana scanned the area looking for Seigh, then she saw him. He wore a light blue tanktop with a dark blue wave pattern, tan shorts with a little turtle keychain attacked to his belt loop and was barefoot. He usually had an even skin tone but was tanned from all the time in the sun. Well, elements didn’t tan, but Seigh wanted to fit in, so he gave himself tan lines. Seigh had light brown hair and piercing crystal blue eyes. He was at a beachfront pizza shop eating all sorts of horrible human food.

            “Wow, dude, this is good!” Seigh said as he leaned back in his chair. At his little table was two beach bunnies wearing hardly anything and a familiar fourth person. The fourth member of the group was wearing almost all black, black jeans, boots and hoodie, with a white t-shirt underneath. He had bright red wild hair, the kind you would only see coming out of a bottle of “Insanity red” hair dye and bright red eyes. His whole eye wasn’t red, just his the iris was red. He was almost passable as a human. “Kaji! Seigh!” Morana yelled. Her anger swelled up and an icy cold breeze swept over the beach. Kaji the fire element of chaos and Seigh the water element of peace were not only hanging out together, but also were in the company of human females. Kaji and Seigh both turned in alarm. The two girls slinked away. Morana looked crazy and violent and anyone in the immediate area decided to back away.

            “J-just in time for the party!”Seigh said with a goofy smile. Kaji kicked Seigh from under the table. “Shhhh!” He said. “What the hell are you doing?” Morana yelled. The beach cooled down immediately and the waves began growing unstable. “we were hanging out. No sense in being bored for eternity like you and Deus!” Kaji snapped standing up. Before Morana could say anything, Kaji vanished. The only trace of him was the smell of smoke. Just had the same stupid smile on his face. “Who who, relaaax. We don’t have to be enemies. Like Kaji said, we were just letting off some steam” Seigh explained then began to laugh. Kaji was letting off steam. It was funnier in Seigh’s head.

            “I can’t believe we used to be the same element” Morana said angrily. “Why do you even care what I do?” Seigh replied. “I don’t!” She said quickly then kicked the table. Morana wished she didn’t care, it would make things so much easier. She was so distant and cold about everything else, but Seigh was her weakness. He was the only thing that could bring her temper up like a raging storm. It was probably because they were now separate elements. “All of the elementals must be this way about their counterparts” Morana assured herself. “Dude, not Kaji. He doesn’t even like Delia. I don’t think she likes him either” Seigh replied. Morana realized she was talking out loud and not thinking these things to herself. “Arrrg!” She yelled. A spike of ice jetted out of the ground and destroyed the table in front of Seigh.

            “One day I will be rid of you! You and all the annoying humans that you love so much” Morana threatened. Then melted into the ground like ice on a hot day. Only a puddle was left where she was standing. Seigh looked a little worried. “Dude, that sounded bad” He said to himself. It wasn’t clear if Morana was just threatening out of anger or if the chaotic elements had a plan. Seigh also vanished from the scene in a splash of water. He had to talk to Terra, see if something big was going to happen.
