Strength, Fury, Grace, and Gentleness
Four Elements Haiku
Earth's strength unchanging
Mountains tall, deep roots, grand force
Nature's solid core.
Fury of the flame
Wild, untamed destruction brings
Nature's hot disdain.
Water's gentle flow
Graceful, yet powerful force
Nature's art on show.
Gentle breeze, soft sighs
Whispers secrets in the trees
Nature's soothing voice.

The Jade
I remember the day I was tested. I was only five years old, but I remember. I stood in line with all the other boys and girls. We waited, not knowing at the time what was really happening. I'd heard stories, but I was young and naive and didn't know what to believe. Some said you would melt on the spot if you failed the test. “Then where do the slaves come from?” I would ask. Others said they made you eat a bucket of worms before testing you, just to make sure. As if the worms somehow had a connection to the Celeste Cryst. “Well of course they do!” They would retort, “the worms were dug up with the gems!”
