Daenien followed Serenity in cautiously. He saw the paradise, and for a moment, he simply gaped. Then he shook himself and put every one of his senses on guard. "In every kid's story I ever heard, unconditional paradise means danger," he said quietly, not wanting to wake up anything. "Though I guess I could've sourced a better material than kid's stories... Maybe those horror stories you hear from older adventurers about perfect gardens with plants that sedated and then ate their comrades?" He glanced about. "Either way, I'm not touching the water."
The stone skipped across the water and instead of sinking to the bottom, it just floated atop the water, as if it weighed nothing. Laughter could be heard, it was as soft as a whisper.
Serenity was a bit taken back by seeing the rock float up like that, and the whisper she heard not long after it stayed afloat. It almost sounded like a laugh she thought, as if some kind of spirit was playing tricks on her.
Getting down on her knees at the water's edge, she looked at herself in the pool before tapping the water lightly with her hand. She then proceeded to try submerge her whole hand underwater.
As Serenity pushed her hand into the water, it felt as though she came across something solid. Though there was no clear indication of any surface beneath the blue waters. Her hand was slowly being pushed back, the water bubbling around it. Once her hand was out of the water again, the middle of the underground lake splashed upwards. The water rained down as if it was a summer sprinkle. The laughter could be heard again.
Whether these were spirits, or perhaps water elementals which would just be amazing to see in one day already, Serenity opted to use her card. She wasn't fond of being taunted or teased, and while she couldn't see her opponent they might know of Geodane.
"You know, I am acquainted with the earth elemental Geodane, perhaps I should call him here to see who is playing tricks on his guests?"

Well well, I guess after centuries of not interacting with any mortal warrants me from doing so in an entertaining way.
Came a voice from seemingly nowhere. The voice was female, her voice was almost spoken in musical notes. The water started to ripple as if something was thrown into it, but instead of going outward it was being drawn in. The water slowly began to levitate into the air untill it formed fully, or as fully as water could go.
The water elemental began to laugh, the same laughter that was heard before.
As for Geodane, he harbors no guests, none of us do my dear. We just allow certain beings to see us. Geodane saw something in you and your companions other than the fact you are an earth caller.
the temperature began to decrease slightly, then warm. The smell of spring summer and fall suddenly filled the room. The water elemental began to chuckle as she spun around in the air.
Easy sister, do not frighten the mortals.
Came a deep baritone voice from behind the group. Standing behind them, well sort of standing, was the source of the other voice.
You will have to excuse my sister, she has a habit of playing games with things when she bores.
The floating rock had timmy confused for a moment. Until the water elemental started to appear out of the water. After paying attention to what was going on with the water elemental hearing the air elementals voice quite startled him. "Woah! More elements!" Timmy exclaimed. "They just keep popping up out of everywhere don't they!"
The mage put her hands over her mouth in admiration, honestly not expecting to see another elemental, let alone two more for a total of three.
"I...I didn't...forgive me, I only used Geodane's name to get her to stop. I have a child with me and I wanted to be sure the chuckling wasn't from an evil being."
She looked back and forth between the water and wind elemental like a child seeing their heroes for the first time. While water was one of her weaker elements back at the university, Serenity found that she was a natural with wind and called it to strike down her foes. She was quite excited to see two of the elementals that governed her best magics.
The mage looked up at the wind elemental, "I can also move the wind!" She quickly spun around on a heel to perform a ballet twirl, erupting a small, calm blast of wind around her that moved only dirt and pebbles.
"This is amazing, I am honored to see three of the natural elementals in one day, forgive me if I go off on a babble but the honor is overwhelming."
Imagine it, three elementals under the land of Wistvale this whole time, the chills would not stop crawling down her spine. Why the only one left would be...
And that's when she realized it, given the pattern and what Geodane had said earlier, the fourth elemental that must have come under control of the dark force.
"Geodane had told me that there is an elemental under control of a dark power...its a fire elemental isn't it?"
Said the wind elemental admiring Serenity for her elemental prowess.
Well, isn't she full of tricks then!
Said the water elemental laughing as she did so. Hydria glanced at the Worgen and the Earth caller, her mood changing to a more serious one in response to Zaedus' question.
Indeed children, however....
She looked to Aerius, her head bowed low. The air elemental moved closer to Zaedus.
Our brother has been enslaved by a foul druid. One that has been corrupted by madness, he has somehow gained dominion over the elements, and that is how he was able to make our brother turn against us. Geodane sealed them both in a lower part of this cavern.

Daenien watched quietly, having backed away a bit. This was a bit frightening, yes, but they hadn't taken notice of him yet, it seemed. He wanted to be able to strike from behind if this all went to hell in a paper hat. He didn't see anything particularly interesting about the kid, personally, but he supposed he wasn't an Elemental either.
In her high spirit, Serenity hadn't noticed the interest the Elementals took in Tommy. At the moment she was concerned with his safety should they venture further into the tunnels.
The mage nodded solemnly, "May you tell us where the sealed chamber is? I will do all that I can to free your companion." she looked to Tommy, "May the boy stay here with you? I don't want to take him along this dangerous mission."
She never faced a druid before, nor an Elemental. A great a mage as she was in her own right, an uncertainty came over her when measuring up the power to control another Elemental, something Serenity never heard of before.
It was clear that the lady mage became nervous, her throat tightening and her heart racing a little at the thought of having to clash with a fire elemental of all things. There were powerful fire mages in Highever, some of whom she couldn't measure up to in magic displays and duels. Power like that to control fire was highly sought after for the military of the city-state, and the mages who wield it are feared almost as much as the templars.
Taking a moment to steel her nerves and clench her fists, Serenity took a breath and tried to calm the storm in her mind, assuring herself that this must be done and she would have to summon the best of her abilities to do so.
Tommy backed up closer to Serenity. The fact that the elementals called him interesting had him concerned and curious at the same time. "Interesting?" Tommy said quietly a few moments later. Interesting could mean many different things. He was nervous about why they were focused on him. To him he was a pretty normal boy. "What do you mean, interesting?" He asked.
