"The earth is there, it's on what we stand
It's the dirt and rocks that cover this land
But with no balance it all will break
And the Earth we know will start to quake..."

I opened my eyes and blinked a few times before standing up and looking around. I was in a forest, but I didn't know exactly where. I was about to step forward when a screen popped up in front of me, a blank person on it, and a stylus next to it. I grabbed onto the stylus and started designing the person. He had a white shirt, a red and black checkered hoodie, grey pants, black and red shoes, medium brown hair, brown eyes, and fair skin. I smiled and set the stylus back as the screen disappeared along with it, looking at myself and seeing that I was who I designed. I smiled and fixed my clothes before looking around. I groaned softly as I tried to look around better when the ground below me lifted me into the air and held dog tags in front of me. I looked at it in shock before grabbing the dog tags and putting them on, hearing people in the direction I was facing. I smiled and stepped forwards, the ground moving with me. I kept walking until I saw four other boys, two of them hugging as if they were the only ones in the world. The ground lowered me and I slowly walked into the clearing towards the people. The one hovering in the air glanced at me before smiling and floating over to me. He held out his hand and I looked at it before slowly taking it. "Hi, my name is Sky! That's Quentin, Rob, and Preston. Just a heads up, only Rob can touch Preston without getting burned." I nodded with a confused expression and he led me over to the other three boys. "We all control the elements. I'm air, Quentin is water, Rob is ice, and Preston is fire. What do you control?" We stopped and I shrugged as Sky looked at me.

"I don't know, all I know is that the ground lifted me up and I walked on the raised ground over here." Sky looked down in thought before snapping his fingers and putting his hand on my shoulder.

"Earth, that's all I can think of." My face became thoughtful before I nodded with a smile, sitting down as the ground raised up so I was sitting a bit higher up from the rest of the ground. The others turned to me and Rob waved as I waved back, relaxing and leaning back as some of the raised ground came up more, forming a backrest. "So, what's your name?" I looked down in thought before looking back up at Sky with a smile.

"I'm Mitch."
