Elemental Solo Write

Elemental Solo Write

Elemental Solo Write

Four islands lie above a sea of nothingness--four kingdoms, four peoples, four elements, all carefully balanced.
Earth, a rich, fertile kingdom, whose people farm and prosper, and whose cities are thick with the sounds of merchants hawking their wares.
Air, a kingdom of tall mountains, whose lofty spires reach till they look like they can touch the sky, and whose people study and grow lerned.
Fire, a desert kingdom of sand, whose rolling dunes conceal secrets, and whose people carve caverns into the sandstone cliffs, delving deep into the rock.
Water, a harsh, cold kingdom, whose people survive and become strong, building cities and castles through labor and determination.

Until now, the kingdoms have been at peace, knowing that war could break the balance, tip the scales, and bring ruin upon all of them. Flying to and fro in huge balloons or airships, wary, but secure, they have traded. 
Until now. Rumor has spread that the people of the fire kingdom have stolen the earth kingdom's Cordis Stone--each kingdom has one, a stone or gem infused with magical power. If the rumers are true, and if the fire people cannot be stopped, they will attack the now weakened earth kingdom, and the destruction could mean the end of all the four kingdoms. Secretly, members of all of the kingdoms have banded together, calling themselves the Elementals. They plan to restore the Earth Cordis stone to the earth kindom. If the tales are true, the stone has been placed in the center of the fire kingdom, deep within an abandoned system of maze-like caves. But what dangers must be faced to recover it? Can all of the Elementals be trusted?

Hi everyone!

Just a few quick wrap up notes...

Thank you so much for all of the encouragement along the way! I had a super fun time with this story. I think that it really stretched me as a writer.

It's amazing how different the personalities of all of your characters were! I read through them for the first time and I really had a 'wow' moment, because I didn't realize until then that all of the characters I created were super similar to each other. So thank you to all of you for giving me all of these great charries to work with. I hope that I did them all justice.

I saw that a lot of you were wondering who I am...so now it's time for the big reveal. I am Hummingbird!

I think I will definitely do another Solo Write at some point, and I would love suggestions for memorable settings. 

See you next time, then!

Signed,

The Story Weaver.
