One step forward and many to go

'All-Elemental it is!' Seira excitedly reports. 'Sanzha, you've been the closest to the research, what's the best approach? I want to take it back home with us, not fight it.'

[Anastasia]

'Let it form and approach it carefully, they're born mentally mature and almost all have a desire to carve their own niche out. Give the impression you've trying to strongarm it and it'll attack or flee,' Sanzha says, 'Think gentle waves, not a roaring tsunami.'

[Corwin]

'I can do that!' Seira responds cheerfully, finally answering Amaryl with, 'Sorry darling, a little busy befriending an All-Elemental with Sanzha and Elle.'

[Anastasia]

'Alright, shall I let them know you'll be a little while?' Amaryl sends back.

[Corwin]

'A few minutes more!' Seira responds, settling in to wait.

And cast Voice of the Dragon plus the other boosters because we're going for magical friendship here!

[Anastasia]

Okay, list 'em.

[Corwin]

Divine Insight, Guidance of the Avatar and Improvisation. Voice of the Dragon, Greater Heroism and Good Hope are all listed already.

Before you it forms - arms of fire and wind, legs of earth and water. All of the elements swirl together as it forms, bigger than Hanna and rising taller yet. It shudders as the elements are bound together, nothing of the army below left. Only a single, new All Elemental, standing amid the burning battlefield.

[Corwin]

"Hello!" Seira greets it, slowly floating over without so much as a flap of her wings. It's like they're for show! "Happy birthday!"

[Anastasia]

The new elemental's gaze is on you, burning and blowing at once, wind and fire. "What are you?" It finally says, a gurgling, crackling voice.

[Corwin]

"Seira Aryn, Goddess," she responds, coming closer still at a comfortable, nonthreatening pace. "Too many titles to casually list, but one of my most important pursuits is one of elemental harmony." She gestures at her sides. "These are my friends, Elle and Sanzha, who are seeking that goal alongside me." She smiles, adding, "We're all quite glad to meet you!"

[Anastasia]

"It's very nice," Elle says, "Congratulations on being formed, your kind are rare."

The All Elemental rumbles deeply, an earthquake of flame and stone coursing through it. "Did you create me?"

[Corwin]

"Yes," Seira responds. "Do you like existing?"

[Anastasia]

"I do," It replies, "Existence is pleasing. I think, I feel, I am."

[Corwin]

"I am extremely glad to hear that!" Seira tells the elemental, finally close enough to offer it her hand to shake. "Do you have a name for yourself, or would you like me to give you one?"
