"Oh?" accepting the apple, she took a bite. The sweet juice streamed on her lips and quickly she brushed it away with her thumb before anyone could notice. "Are you still training?"

"I'm from the countryside," she said, "I don't think our town had a name..." Putting her index finger to her chin, she shook her head as she tried to remember if this was true or not. Was her homeland really so small? "My father was a blacksmith as well, but as a hobby. In actuality he traveled for the Navy and bought a big piece of property so we never had to see our actual town. My mother raised me."

"Sort of anyway," she chuckled, taking another bite of apple. "I had no brothers or sisters or friends to play with so I played in the stream deep in the forest behind my home." With a proud grin, her face brightened as she laid her hand on her chest. "I accidently learned my magic from Naiads--water faeries, I guess you could call them. I'm a water elemental."
