The Elementalist Contest Banner [#1547588] The Elementalist Contest Banner
A wonderful thank you to Gothic Angel is feeling sick View gothic_angel's Portfolio. [Offline / Private] for the lovely contest banner!



This contest is inspired by the traditional themes of the elements - water, fire, earth, and air. Each round will feature a challenge incorporating one of the elements into the writing prompt. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to write the best piece of fiction involving that element.

PROMPT
