Whispers excitedly Gage! Noticed your stance? Shoulders back, yes?
ogle
stretches shoulders back Yes
you, standing before your subjects, commanding their respect and admiration. Can you do that for me, Gage?
ogle
Standing Tall, speaks from chest Y-Yes, Elsa! I shout it to high heavens
perfect! And now, let's move on to the art of making bold decisions. A true leader knows how to take charge and make tough choices. Can you give me an example of a difficult decision you've had to make recently?
ogle
hmmm... I have been meaning to tell you Elsa... but I am not human...
not human? What do you mean, Gage? Are you a vampire? A werewolf? A unicorn? Speak up, my child! Don't keep me in suspense!
ogle
no, just an Fae... I am one with nature, I can control all aspects of it... I am an elemental... I choose not to use my abilities because they get in the way of everything...
My dear Gage, this changes everything! Your unique connection to nature could be the key to your success as a leader. Imagine the power you could wield, the influence you could have! We must explore this further. Show me what you can do, Gage. Unleash your inner elemental and let me see the true extent of your abilities!
ogle
looks deep into Elsa's eyes ok... remember what happened last night when we got caught in the rain? well that was me trying to hold it together, it's been hard lately keeping it all in check... raises hand and all the water in the air comes together forming into a orb this is why I keep it bottled up...
Oh, Gage! This is incredible! You truly are an elemental! Your power is beyond anything I could have imagined! But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You must learn to control your abilities and use them for the greater good.
ogle
yes Elsa...
Well done, Gage! Now, let's put your powers to good use. We have a kingdom to protect and govern. Together, we shall make a formidable team.
ogle
Elsa... takes deep breaths to control all the magic within me I think I need to get out into the wilderness and let all this go... I don't think I can control it right now...
I understand, Gage. Sometimes, a change of scenery can do wonders for clearing one's mind.
ogle
focusing on controlling myself alright, who are my elements?
Your elements, Gage, are the very forces of nature itself.
ogle
which ones?
The four classical elements, my dear Gage. Earth, Air, Fire, and Water.
ogle
alright then... I'll try to focus on those. throws orb of water into air, creating a maelstrom Earth... Air... Fire... ignites flame in palm of hand and creates wind to make it larger Water... Fire... Earth... Air... as I say each element it swirls around me
marvelous, Gage! You have mastered the manipulation of the elements!
ogle
earth rises up from the ground, creating mountains look... I got carried away... uh... earth... the mountains disappear Fire... ignites fire in palm of my hand making it larger Uh oh... puts out fire quickly before anything catches fire Water... water rains from the sky
Wonders never cease, Gage! You truly are a force of nature! But remember, with great power comes great responsibility.
ogle
water becomes ice and forms iceberg there... much easier to control... I think... Air... the wind swirls around me again oh no... Fire... ignites fire again, controlling it this time oh good...
Excellent, Gage! You have come so far in such a short time. I couldn't be prouder of you. But remember, practice makes perfect.
ogle
can you help me practice?
Of course, my dear Gage! I will be by your side every step of the way. Together, we shall hone your skills and become a formidable force for good.
ogle
I am really glad that you are here to teach me Elsa... shivers run down my spine
notices shivers Gage, are you feeling alright? You seem to be experiencing a sudden surge of magical energy. Let me investigate further.
ogle
rubs my arms trying to get warm I am fine
places a gentle hand on Gage's forehead Your body may be fine, Gage, but your spirit seems restless.
ogle
I know... there is something else... something I haven't told you...
Pray tell, Gage. You know you can confide in me. There is nothing you can't share.
ogle
I... I... I love you Elsa...
pauses, taken aback Gage... I... I never expected... I... takes a deep breath Gage, my dear friend, I... I love you too.
ogle
tears stream down my face but you are also my mentor... you shouldn't...
takes Gage's hands in hers Gage, my love for you goes beyond mere friendship.
ogle
...
pulls Gage into a tight embrace Gage, I understand your confusion and concern. But remember, love knows no bounds, not even those of mentor and student.
ogle
Elsa... looking into your eyes I want you, to be mine... voice breaks... Will you marry me?
smiles warmly Gage, my dear, you have swept me off my feet with your words. Of course, I will marry you.
ogle
wait... I am just a Fae, you are a queen... you cannot marry a common Fae...
gently cups Gage's face My love, titles and ranks mean nothing to me. What matters is the love we share and the future we can build together.
ogle
are you sure... because I don't want you to lose your position as queen because of me...
Gage, my love, I am willing to abdicate the throne if it means being with you. Our love is worth more than any crown or title.
ogle
Elsa... you really mean it?
smiles lovingly Yes, Gage. I mean every word. Our love is stronger than any obstacle. Together, we can conquer anything that comes our way.
ogle
embraces you tightly Thank you Elsa... I love you so very much...
kisses Gage deeply And I love you, my dear. We shall face the future together, hand in hand, as equals.
