Hope's Help

When we arrived in the vault, Hope and I put on gloves. To me, it didn't look like there was much to inspect. However, Hope walked around the room looking at the walls, the floor, the containers the jewelry had been in and the cameras in the room.

"This is definitely the work of elementals," Hope said.

"How can you tell?" I said.

"When an elemental passes through their element, it disturbs the elements molecules and returns them to a more natural state," Hope walked over to the wall that I saw ripple on the video.

"Feel this wall. Part of it is rough and part is smooth. The rough part is where the elemental passed through the stone. Some parts of the ground are like that too, especially around the places that contained the gems."

I felt the wall and the floor and the metal containers that held the jewelry and gemstones. All of them were slightly rough to the touch. Not enough to be able to physically see, but enough to feel.

"I see," I said.
