Kail

Chapter One: The Iceweilder
Kail had lived in the forest since he was 8, almost 4 years. He ate roots and berries, drank water from the river, and hunted monkeys and birds. He could remember, though. He used to live on a farm. One summer he was building a fort in the dried streambed, when a man walked into the village. He had eyes that glowed like fire, and an evil smile. He held his hand up, and the sky seemed as though there was a fire burning in the clouds. Then he brought his hand down. Lightning came down over the village, and Kail ran away as fast as he could. When he looked back, the village was burning to ashes. The man knelt down, though, as if he had used the last of his strength. Kail knew this was not the last he would see of him, for although the man was dying, Kail could see the man's son standing behing a tree on the road. He was eight.

Since then Kail had lived in the forest. One day, he was walking along the path in search of berries, when he came across a man meditating on the grass. The man looked up at him and said "You have been through much. A terrible fire, flames cackling with evil." He was old, but his eyes glinted with a spark that reminded Kail of someone who knew a secret that he didn't. "I am Ka, weilder of the elements," said the man. "would you like to learn the ways of a Weilder?" said Ka. "Yes," said Kail. "Than we will begin now." said Ka.

"First, I would like you to tell me what an element is." said Ka. Kail knew a little about elements from his childhood. "A basic form of nature, I think," he said. "Very good," said Ka "I will show you how to relize your true elemental power, first, concentrate on the world. Everything about it, the birds, the trees, the ants. Feel the connection. Now draw from that universal energy. Guide it to the tips of your fingers, then release it." Kail put his left hand on the ground. Focusing, he slowly turned it. Focus he thought focus. A thin layer of Ice spread out from his hand. "H-how did I do that?" Kail stammered. "You Weilded the elements, Kail, but I have not trained an Iceweilder for more than a decade. You will be a powerful weilder, mark my words, but first, we must begin your training."
