Chantelle smiled at everyone in turn. "Nice to meet you, well as nice as it can get under the circumstances. I'm Chantelle." Her smile was friendly even if her appearance was dark. The man nodded as every teen spoke their name, for he knew each of theirs.

"Well now that most of us have eaten," he says, sending a glance in Adelina's direction. "I will tell you why I have brought you to my cabin. I have trained many different species of creatures, but never quite as special as you." He smiled that strange, yet warm smile as he continued. "Prophets said that four sets of twins would be born, each child bearing the opposite elemental power as their twin. Most of you have probably figured out that you are already different than others of your race, but might not have figured out just how different." He wandered to each twin in turn and patted them on the head.

"Kaiser, you contain the powers of the flame. You've already experienced only the slight reprimand that comes with it, but as you train to be more powerful you must also learn how to control its strength. Suki, as gentle as a rain drop. Remember that not all water is calm and you must know its limits. Raphael, an angel that's closer to air than others. Don't let its slight breezes discourage you for great hurricanes can come from it. Verdel, as an angel, earth may be complicated for you. Just remember that the element chose you for a reason. Adelina," he frowned slightly as he looked her over. "You come from darker creatures, yet you are of light. Don't let that darken your personality. Chantelle, don't let the powers of dark seclude you from others. You've shown how outgoing you can be so try to be a part of something. People will be able to see past the dark interior once they get to know you. Zenko and Yuki, you two must watch each other so that Zenko doesn't get too caught up in his imagination, while Yuki lives only for what can be seen." He was now at the other end of the table and looked back at all of them.

"The forces of all the elements combined is something that threatens the very balance of our existance. Each of you is a personified version of what the element is, should something happen to one of you the world would fall into disorder. I'm afraid that the vampires do not seem to see that without you our world would perish. They only see your great powers that threaten their reign as the top creatures." He bent over so that his weight was on the table.

"I have brought you here in an attempt to protect you, but should I fail I am also training you to use your elements to protect yourselves. You will have to depend on each other so I recomend you get to know eachother." He then opened the door that they had been in before, revealing the rows of cots. "I only have four rooms total in the house: your shared bedroom," he gestured towards the room they had been in. "you're in the kitchen and dining area, a bathroom," he gestured to a door off to the side. "And one more room, but you shall not know its use untill it's time. When will that time be? We shall see." Before disappearing through the third door, he looked back at the group. "I have a surprise for you outside, but it will wait untill tomorrow."
