"Please tell me that's another one of your magic tricks." Rayan pleaded beside me.

"Of course not, well- fuck. Ray I told you not to piss me off," I spoke quickly, squinting my eyes to make sure my vision wasn't lying to me.

Me, Rayan and Leo stood in awe whilst we stared at what looked like a tsunami coming our way. It was funny because to be honest, I could not tell you if I had done that. Me and the elements were in a bit of a disagreement these days.

Leo, bless him, had been experimenting with some of Alexandar's technology that we had seized from Russia. He had found a way for my power to exert the larger amount of its energy into an object, so the immense power would take a lesser toll on my body. This was probably what Alexandar meant when he said he could help me, he had studied about the elements enough to know the type of toll they could take on the human body. Even some of the Aether's claimed that they each had an object to help them out when the power got too much. If normal Aether's found the power to be a bit much, my power was too much.

Lee used a fancy word for the process and I couldn't even tell you what it was. But the object happened to be a small necklace that had to be around my neck at all times for it to work.

It had led to massive improvements in my health in the last month, I felt less dead and exhausted all the time.

This was why the elements and the voice had been insulting me a lot. The necklace numbed the voice slightly and it seemed a bit disrespectful that I was limiting the power of the heavens. It seems they want to force me to utilise the maximum capabilities of my power no matter the consequences.

News had come in that some of the imports had slipped through cracks and made it to parts of the world and some hadn't figured out the danger of the water system to avoid tap water.

Unfortunately, a vast majority of them died, their bodies reacted in gruesome ways to the chemical that rejected their genes. Chaos hadn't left my side, it had become incredibly attached to me.

We had taken the day to come to the water supply to see if I could fix anything myself. Yaseen was busy with other matters, like the fact that there were new Aether's being born that still going to be conditioned to want to kill me. I stood today above the ocean, trying my best to dissipate the chemical from inside all the water.

"DON'T BLAME ME, you're the one who practically caused an earthquake in trying to do whatever you just did," Rayan burst as the fear of a tsunami in our faces began to settle in.

"You think it's easy to get rid of a substance from AN ENTIRE OCEAN?" I responded with the same amount of panic because I had little to no idea what to do.

"Don't," Leo warned me before I could even suggest my idea. "I forbid it, your husband would strongly forbid it, Rayan would let you because he has the same sense as a goldfish." Leo continued to emphasise the stupidness of the idea.

"You take that thing off, you bring yourself closer to deterioration," Leo gripped my wrist and I couldn't entirely understand why he was being so serious. It wasn't good to take off the necklace but it wouldn't kill me. Not so soon anyways. Suspicion crawled up my back when I noticed Rayan and Leo exchange an unidentifiable glance before continuing to tell me how mad Yaseen would get if I did this.

"Well, your other option is to fucking drown so be my guests, both of you. Sorry I don't want to die by water when I can bloody manipulate it." I push them both aside to take a breath.

I reach around my neck to unclip the necklace slowly. My body jolted with the tremor of power that returned into me, rendering me unstable because I couldn't navigate it all at once suddenly.
