Last night Astrid Clermot drank maybe a little too much. Last night Astrid may have said too much, and last night Astrid was ridiculed. Her class mates, the ones she had trusted and those she hadn't had ruined her Junior year....but what can she do? Moving would only make her out to be a coward, and standing up wasn't an option, so Astrid is left with only one option....hide everything behind the mask her friends had painted on her face.

They say the four elements were created to rule over us. Us, every creation, both alive and dead.

The Air and the Sky, for the pure and holy.

The Earth for those doomed to die.

The Water for the lost souls, searching for something or someone never to be found.

And Fire, to rule over the unworthy filth.
