《Elemental Artists》CH.6 The Waitress
Advertisement
Griselda and Moca look up but don't recognise the girl at all. 'Could this be one of his past lovers?' Confusion runs through both of their heads as they alternate looks between Draydon and the waitress.
The waitress just looks at Draydon with a customer service smile like nothing happened and doesn't recognise him. 'Another person hitting on me huh.'
"Would you like to order, sir?" She tries to skip over the topic.
It takes Draydon a bit to understand what she said.
"Wait, you don't recognise me from class?"
"No, sir."
"Ms. Everborn's class with the Generation of Stars?"
"I am in that class, sir. I am exceptionally talented."
"Pretty sure you stayed behind since you and another guy didn't show your elements." Her eyes widen as she now takes a closer look at Draydon. It took her awhile before it finally hits her.
"Oh, I know you. You're like the only royalty to not show your element, either."
She looks at Draydon. Firing shots pu-pu-pu. They gazes lock as a slightly visible spark flashes in between. They both look towards the source.
Moca not caring about the situation starts rattling off her order. While Griselda just giggles. The maid diligently takes Moca's and Griselda's orders. Draydon looks the waitress up and down until his eyes stop at her chest. 'Stare'
The waitress after writing down the orders, looks at Draydon and notices where his eyes are locked. She quickly covers her chest and exclaims loudly.
"Sir! What do you think you are doing?"
"Calm down, I'm just trying to see your name tag. Besides, you don't got alot going on for you except for that attitude. Beatrice?" Draydon says matter of fact like as he crosses his arms and leans back in his chair.

"Uhhh", she exclaims in appalment as she storms off back into the cooking area.
"Guess I'm not eating."
"Hahaha! Serves you right! Never tell a lady about her breast size like you did." Grisela could not hold it in anymore as she bursted out laughing.
"What? She thought she was some hotshot just because she's in our class. I was just curious of her name." Draydon looks off at the door that Beatrice left through while propping his head of on his hand.
Griselda calms down while looking at Draydon.
"So why didn't you show off your element?" Curiousity colors her eyes as she stares in anticipation. Draydon sees this and pauses for a moment like he's in deep thought. 'How do I answer this.... Well let's just show them.' He holds his hand out over the table, palm side up. Moca and Griselda gives him a blank look wondering what he was doing.
"Look closely." After Draydon spoke, a thin red light covered the surface of his palm. "At most, I can cover myself and anything I touch in this. Also I can adjust the heat, but that's about it." Griselda just looks at him in wonder.
"Isn't that basically what becoming one with your element is, just a minor step away?" Moca states matter of fact like. She glances at him with a percieving look. "And how did you get injured if you could do this?"
It was a surprise interrogation out of nowhere by Moca. Draydon's body visibly shook by the suddenness of it. Then explains, "It also takes a while before the heat gets going like you saw." He breathes out a sigh. 'Phew, safe.'
"Okay, I'll help you train then." Moca attacks again.
"Huh?" Draydon says confused.
"The last step before you can fully become one with your element." Moca is on a three hit combo.
"No th-" Draydon tries to not take the help politely but is interrupted.
"I think that's a wonderful idea." Griselda deals the finishing blow. Causing Draydon to slump on the table.
"Fine, fine." He mumbles face on the table in defeat.

Riposte
Noël is known across the city of Portland—and not by choice. Under the care of the richest man in the city and just transferred to a new high school, she's already making close friends... and bitter enemies. A chance encounter on her first day plunges her headfirst into a secret underground tournament. Between suspicious classmates and utter strangers, Noël soon gets a taste for the addictive rush of the duel, but questions of love and trust complicate every move she makes. Cutthroat games with grim consequences await her in a shadowy world of competitors all dueling for the greatest prize imaginable. A new story from Etzoli, that one butterfly who writes things. This is a side-adventure I've written during the pandemic, as I've been having a lot of trouble getting into the correct head-space for writing my main series (The Last Science). Expect some rougher bits. Schedule is sporadic, but this will be a shorter one (closer to Snipe or Epilogue in length). I hope you enjoy it!

The Warden
Jake was a simple man. All he wanted was to live out the rest of his life on his family farm, a modest life, but one you could take pride in. Then Jake came into the kind of money family dynasties are founded on. Vacationing at his newly bought lake, Jake sits on his porch alone and watches as the world is ripped apart by some god-like being. This god-like being then decides that all descendants of the Gho Clan, still capable of cultivation, will be placed into a trial to test if they are worthy to return to the heavenly realm. Guess what, that inclueds Jake. Now, trapped alone in a cage made from a valley uprooted from Earth, Jake must learn to survive as everything is flooded with some energy he'd never seen nor imagined before; let's call it Qi. As everything changes, and the lines between fact and fiction blur, Jake will learn that his land, and by extension him, are far more important than anyone realizes. And the bastard who destroyed Earth? Well, he'll get what's coming, one way or another.
