Repose.
Relaxation.
Reassurance.
Mikhail felt a wave of calmness wash over his being as he watched Azalea get flung to safety. His budding idea had been a resounding success.
And then, Mikhail felt something else.
Something that made him bubble with excitement.
Mikhail freed himself from the beast's blubber, shooting away to avoid getting smacked by its tail fin. After a moment, he came to a stop and floated silently. He felt a subtle current keeping his body afloat in that position.
And he reveled in the unfamiliar sensation permeating throughout his being.
The call of an element.
Mikhail finally felt the call of an element!
And…
It was the call of the Water Element.
He felt the Water Element's flow. The Water Element's pressure. The Water Element's tranquility. He felt that and more. Everything about the Water Element all at once. And then it happened.
Everything clicked.
