"No..." Calystia replied slowly. "My mother was a shifter and my father earth elemental. He was the most powerful, and ruled as a king over our cove justly. When we were born each of us had control over one element, and could shift into a creature that largely associate with that one element. For instance, I control water which is why I can shift into a mermaid, a creature who depends on water to survive. For some unknown reason none of us can shift into the same creature as our mother, perhaps the elemental genetics were stronger. It is said that only one person can have control over an element at a time." Calystia dried a tear from her cheek as she was reminded of the ache of loss her parents had left her with. "Our parents died before they were able to have another child to control earth when they had passed..." She quickly looked down.
