Little eight year old
Helen watched the new maid struggle to light the fire in the drawing
room.
“Let me help!” She called out and darted in the
room.
The maid looked up with a chagrined blush. “My Lad-”
Her address cut off with a cry of alarm. Helen's attempt to light a
fire with her budding elementalist powers set sparks scattering,
lighting the elegant floor rug on fire. Helen quickly doused the
flames with a wave of water magic.
It took long hours to
clean the mess, amid Helen's constant tears and apologies.
Mother
was NOT pleased.
