A flock of people gathered around me and a shy girl of the House of Water asked what was wrong and if it we had found someone with the last affinity. I looked at her and replied "Someone with Earth... according to Thorne." I felt the people around me extending their elements and searching out the location of the intruder. "Be careful when you find her, we don't know how strong her power is... or what it is capable of." I turned to see my father walking slowly out of the House of Fire. "What is going on?" His gravely voice reached across the clearing and I slowly replied "Thorne sensed an Earth element in our forest and everyone is trying to find her." My fathers face was grave as he looked into the forest. "Get the fire ready for a ceremony and notify Thornes' parents, and anyone else with Earth, the new-comer will most likely need training." I nodded and looked down, then hurried to the ceremonial hearth. I stacked the wood quickly then summoned my power. I felt my hair crackle into flames and watched as the wood ignited. I stepped away, running my hands through my hair to extinguish it. Then I headed towards the House of Earth.
