here's part five.

“Sorry,” you said with a slight smile.
“I was saying that I think we should see how you are at controlling the water element,” he answered.
“Sure, were should we go to do it?” you asked.
“The beach would be the best choice, the ocean has a nasty temper but you should be alright,” he said,
You nodded and as you walked outside you sighed silently, the village looked no better in the daylight then it had last night in fact it looked much worse. Every inch of the village had been destroyed either by the storm or Red-eye. Instead of walking we decided to fly down to the beach. The beach, however, was in no better condition then the village; the sun bleached sand no looked inviting and even the glossy blue water looked forbidden.
Fireclaw noticing my look of horror and grief said, “This is but a small taste of what is to come if Red-eye’s evil isn’t destroyed.”
“I will destroy him, we will free everyone of his menace once and all,” I sincerely vowed. I walked towards the water with a new determination and stood at its’ edge looking at the foaming waves. Fireclaw didn’t have tell me what to do I some how knew already. I walked into the usually sun-warmed water, which I found to be pretty cold and I flinched slightly as I walked into it until at crashed against my ankles.
I closed my eyes and whispered a command in a language I never knew I could speak even to this day I don’t remember what the words were. Then without thinking of anything other then what I was doing, I raised my hands and held them out. Slowly at first the water raised as if to obey but then it gained speed and height crashing into me and knocking me off my feet. It then processed to drag me under until I stood on the ocean floor. Keeping my eyes closed I said a different command and still it kept me under its’ surface but I wasn’t scared I could easily breath though how it was possibly I’m not sure. Instead of fighting it I repeated my command with more force then I had intended.
Gently the water lifted me up until I stood on its’ shiny surface. I couldn’t help but smile, the element of water was now mine to command and use as I wished. I gave a quick wave to Firecalw and then practiced for few more hours and around noon Fireclaw left to find us some lunch. But he shortly returned empty handed and frightened; concerned I ran to the beach and skidded to a halt by his side. “What’s wrong?” I asked.
“In…in the village someone’s there but I think their hurt,” he answered breathlessly.
“Catch your breath I’ll go on ahead and check it out,” I said.
“Be…careful,” he warned.
