Elements

I worked all day on trying to control the water a little more. Little by little my control became better but it still wasn't anything practical. It was nothing more than a party trick for a party that i was never going to be apart of. Maybe if I worked for longer with it then I would be able to make it into more than a minor trick that would entertain a five year old.

I had sat here in the water for the better part of the day and the farthest bought of control that I had gotten was what I was currently doing. The water was swirling in a counter clockwise direction that was following my finger as I drew the pattern in the air above it. There was a simple connection that I was able to feel with the flowing energy from my should and directing itself into my finger allowing it to somehow control the water and make me feel like i was making the same sort of progress I would expect out of a child trying to walk. they would keep getting up but they just keep falling over, again and again until they finally seem to get it little by little.

it was a starting point and I had started with even less in this world. I looked around I had to find something to eat otherwise there wouldn't be any more progress to be had. I closed my eyes. one of the few things that I had learned was wit in the patterns that I saw when I closed my eyes. there were a few that would lead me to the animals near me.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, the larger the lights coming from the animals the more hunger that I would be able to fill from them. I stood up and walked to the riverbank. I had seen a of the lights that were gathered together in what looked like one area. it should be a at least a filling meal even if it wasn't going to be a interesting meal.

I started running towards them and slowly smelled the air as I went. It stilled amazed me that I was stilled enjoyed the freedom that I was able to have outside of the cavern. I had noticed earlier in the day that I was able to have some have the same connection in the to the air and the ground that I was able to make with the water. I couldn't feel like I was able to make sense of what to do with any of it but I knew that eventually I would be able to make all of the work out into something.

I neared the space that I thought was where I had seem to have the lights and it was slightly different that I had thought it would be. There were huge trees, much larger than the places that I had seen in the parts of the forest that I had been in. I could hear some sort of shuffling around. I was checking out the old vine covered trees trying to figure out what type of creatures were living here.

I looked up as I was listening to the running around happening in the trees. I looked up and saw some sort of creatures running around in the branches above my head. I knew that I had found the creatures that I wanted to consume. I smiled glancing here and there trying to catch a larger glimpse of what ever it was that was running around above my head.

Suddenly I felt something hit me in the back as I was looking up. The different little beasts were now circling me, there wasn't even a chance to get a good glimpse of them. All there was to know was these little shits were throwing just about everything that they were able to reach straight at me. I wasn't getting injured but I could feel the embarrassment growing in my mind.

I grabbed the nearest vine and started to climb up the up the tree. All I had to do was get high enough up to grab one of these little bastards and I would be able to have a enjoying meal. My food was trying to cause me some sort of danger but I knew that there was going to be a change here soon.

I went higher and higher looking at the little beasts as they began to climb as wheel. they were even smaller than the goblins with little beards and long shaggy hair. I couldn't help but lick my lips as I thought about the idea of ripping one of the little bastards in half. They looked tasty, a little bit chubby but there was just enough of them that I could imagine myself having a good meal.

Suddenly there was a shout from above my head. Some strange language that I couldn't understand a word of. It got louder and louder as I got higher and higher. I was barely able to see the ground any more. There were just layers on layers of below me of branches interlacing right beneath my feet.

As the shouting got louder I looked up to see if I was getting closer to the little potbellied creatures. That proved to be the greatest mistake of the light that I had made up to this point. There was a grand deal of things that I wish could have been done better but the second that I looked up I knew that I need to be more careful and not climb these trees or do anything that might be nearly as stupid as what I had just done.

When I looked up I saw the two of the little creatures just down holding a rope. I didn't think of what could have possibly gone wrong until I felt the rope wrap around my arms as I and make and sense of what was about to happen. I felt the ropes tighten as I started to fall the ground and I thought there might be a fight starting soon. Then I started to break branches as I felt to the ground picking up speed and hitting every branch I could have.

Then I began to laugh as I felt the ground touch my back and I sank into it slowly as though I had realized that I had been able to do something that I wouldn't forget to enjoy. A meal of mine thought that I had been taken care of but I knew that I would be able to at least get back at these two little bastards that had been embarrassing me so far.
