Asherah had not looked up from her violin once as she played, not to see almost everyone in her village watching her nor caring. She had grown used to this; most of her village consisted of water, earth, and air affinities and she was one of the few who was different; and the only one who carried the element of sound.

So when something unusual caught her eye, a type of light she had never seen before, she looked up and saw a woman with raven-black hair swaying along to the beat of the song she was playing in the back of the crowd. What she really noticed, though, was the staff that she held. Her eyes widened as it began to glow, and she knew immediately what affinity this woman had.

The level of shock she had upon seeing this surprised her, and she stood, making her way to the back of the crowd. She had never seen the light element- as it was very rare in Allyia- and she wanted to get a closer look at this stranger. The crowd turned to watch her, and saw the other dark-haired girl who was beginning to dance along to the music.
