Jake Sully to the rescue

I returned to Ling, who was relieved to see me. I let her hug me while I came over with a plan of action.

I had the element of surprise but the window to use it wouldn’t last long.

I also had mastery over the elements, despite not knowing if I was stronger or better than the fire-casting woman. And I couldn’t leave Ling alone.

I looked around us for inspiration, until it hit me in the face.

Literally.

A bug crashed on my face and I suddenly remembered that there must have been dozens of life forms surrounding the river! Maybe even some predators! And I just happened to be a master in elemental magic!

I grinned, whipping the mud from my forehead, bug and all. I kissed Ling on the cheek and placed my hand over the ground.

I concentrated on the flow of energy coming from it and into every living being around us.
