Power Revealed (The Elementers) Read Online Free PDF Page A

more than that. There was something wrong with him, at least something different, and maybe this explained it all.
    “Interesting,” Mr. Hamilton said. “Fainting is normal for Elementers before their powers manifest, but maybe it’s different for you since you can access two elements. Don’t let it bother you. It should stop happening now that you’re accessing your powers. You’ve always been connected to your element, but until you develop the ability to harness it, the energy can overload your system sometimes.”
    Justin didn’t altogether believe what they were telling him about Elementers. Part of him wanted to walk away from the insane conversation. But, he didn’t know how else to explain what had been happening to him these last two days. He desperately wanted answers to the questions keeping him awake all of last night and the thought of never having another blankout was a very appealing thought. He needed to know if this was for real.
    “So how many Elementers are there? And how many types of Elementers exist? Raven said you’re a Water Elementer.”
    “I am. There are only a few thousand Elementers in the entire world. As far as types go, there are four types of Elementers: Water, Earth, Tree, and Wind. Normally, an Elementer can only access one element. It is very rare to access two elements,” Mr. Hamilton explained.
    “How rare?”
    “The last Double Elementer lived over a hundred years ago.”
    “A hundred years ago?!”
    Justin looked between Mr. Hamilton and Raven trying to see if they were just playing with him. But they seemed serious. Once again, his curiosity overcame his disbelief. “So how do I know if I can also Water Talk?”
    “You can’t Water Talk,” Mr. Hamilton said matter-of-factly.
    Justin tried to control the ball of anger that erupted in his stomach. He hated only one thing more than someone picking on him because of the blankouts. And that was someone telling him what he could or couldn’t do. “Why not?” Justin said.
    “No one has ever been able to access more than two elements,” Mr. Hamilton said.
    If this was for real, Justin wouldn’t have anyone telling him he couldn’t do it. “How do you know I can’t Water Talk until I try?” Justin argued and walked toward a small pond of water that must have formed from the last rainfall. Reaching the edge of the water, Justin looked up at Mr. Hamilton, who seemed to have a know-it-all smile that reminded Justin of the one his father often wore when Justin wanted to try something new. This simply drove Justin all the more to prove he could Water Talk.
    He stood over the water by balancing himself on a few partially-submerged rocks. Crouching down, he shoved his hands into the cool water. His anger caused him to forget about trying to use the water to talk to anyone. Instead, he focused his irritation at the water and began to feel the energy coming from the water into his hands. But in his irritation, he pushed the energy right back at the pond.
    The water started swirling around his hands. It started bubbling. Finally, a stream of water shot straight up toward his face. Justin yanked his hands out of the water in an attempt to use his arms to balance himself. He stumbled back off the rocks and eventually steadied himself on the dry ground.
    Looking up, he saw Mr. Hamilton’s bottom jaw drop. Justin waited a few moments for Mr. Hamilton to say something, but his teacher just stood there looking at Justin as if he were from another planet. Normally, Justin would have felt satisfied proving he could do something new. But Mr. Hamilton's frozen stare began to make Justin uncomfortable, so he turned to Raven. Her response was much different. A huge grin spread across her face as she tried not to laugh. But after a few more seconds she broke out in giggles.
    “What?” Justin asked.
    Raven finally stopped laughing. “I think you’ll need to learn better control of the water.”
    “What do you mean?”
    Raven tried
