The Elephant in the Garden (2)

Luan casually tossed the bag to the side as if it were a trove of cheap trinkets. The black sack was opened, and a few nuclei rolled out, capturing her gaze.

The cores shined on the sun like a colourful gem, catching one attention with the immersive beauty it possessed. She wasn't particularly fond of jewellery, but just like a magpie attracted to shiny things, she couldn't stop adoring the brilliant sparklers.

She holds the blue stones in her hand, fascinated. As the colour indicated, blue was the colour of the water.

Each elemental aspect of the stone grants unique abilities and strengths. The earth element grants stability and grounding, allowing the bearer to shape and manipulate the earth itself—raising barriers, causing tremors, or nurturing growth.

The air element bestows agility and freedom, enabling the bearer to harness wind currents, create gusts, or move with supernatural swiftness.
