It wasn't the first time Apanii's seen fire. But it was the first time she watched it slowly devouring her forest, her home. In a moment of shock she could do nothing but watch until her knees gave in, sending her to the ground. And suddenly the nature started to respond to her mourning, the first raindrops started to fall as if the clouds would start to cry just like she did. The moment her knees touched the burned ground a fountain of water started to rise, forming itself into a form of life. The rain grew stronger, feeding the wall of watery nature until a soft coat of water put out the fire around the fae. She kept kneeling there for a while, not realizing at first that it was her doing. Not until the fae would thank her for the rain, explaining what she did. The way Apanii discovered her Element, water, wasn't a very pleasant one. But even if her magic is very dependant on her emotions - and she herself would've prefered earth (don't tell anyone) - in the end she liked it, knowing, that it just must've been destiny in this very moment.
Just.. so pretty.
I really struggled with what element to give her, but in the end decided to keep her water element. The idea with the plant growth out of water came because the most obvious element for her would've been earth and because she's very nature-bound, since she doesn't really control it per se it shows more like she.. feels it, I don't know if this is explained well but maybe you know what I mean XD
