《Elemental Artists》CH.6 The Waitress
Advertisement
Griselda and Moca look up but don't recognise the girl at all. 'Could this be one of his past lovers?' Confusion runs through both of their heads as they alternate looks between Draydon and the waitress.
The waitress just looks at Draydon with a customer service smile like nothing happened and doesn't recognise him. 'Another person hitting on me huh.'
"Would you like to order, sir?" She tries to skip over the topic.
It takes Draydon a bit to understand what she said.
"Wait, you don't recognise me from class?"
"No, sir."
"Ms. Everborn's class with the Generation of Stars?"
"I am in that class, sir. I am exceptionally talented."
"Pretty sure you stayed behind since you and another guy didn't show your elements." Her eyes widen as she now takes a closer look at Draydon. It took her awhile before it finally hits her.
"Oh, I know you. You're like the only royalty to not show your element, either."
She looks at Draydon. Firing shots pu-pu-pu. They gazes lock as a slightly visible spark flashes in between. They both look towards the source.
Moca not caring about the situation starts rattling off her order. While Griselda just giggles. The maid diligently takes Moca's and Griselda's orders. Draydon looks the waitress up and down until his eyes stop at her chest. 'Stare'
The waitress after writing down the orders, looks at Draydon and notices where his eyes are locked. She quickly covers her chest and exclaims loudly.
"Sir! What do you think you are doing?"
"Calm down, I'm just trying to see your name tag. Besides, you don't got alot going on for you except for that attitude. Beatrice?" Draydon says matter of fact like as he crosses his arms and leans back in his chair.

"Uhhh", she exclaims in appalment as she storms off back into the cooking area.
"Guess I'm not eating."
"Hahaha! Serves you right! Never tell a lady about her breast size like you did." Grisela could not hold it in anymore as she bursted out laughing.
"What? She thought she was some hotshot just because she's in our class. I was just curious of her name." Draydon looks off at the door that Beatrice left through while propping his head of on his hand.
Griselda calms down while looking at Draydon.
"So why didn't you show off your element?" Curiousity colors her eyes as she stares in anticipation. Draydon sees this and pauses for a moment like he's in deep thought. 'How do I answer this.... Well let's just show them.' He holds his hand out over the table, palm side up. Moca and Griselda gives him a blank look wondering what he was doing.
"Look closely." After Draydon spoke, a thin red light covered the surface of his palm. "At most, I can cover myself and anything I touch in this. Also I can adjust the heat, but that's about it." Griselda just looks at him in wonder.
"Isn't that basically what becoming one with your element is, just a minor step away?" Moca states matter of fact like. She glances at him with a percieving look. "And how did you get injured if you could do this?"
It was a surprise interrogation out of nowhere by Moca. Draydon's body visibly shook by the suddenness of it. Then explains, "It also takes a while before the heat gets going like you saw." He breathes out a sigh. 'Phew, safe.'
"Okay, I'll help you train then." Moca attacks again.
"Huh?" Draydon says confused.
"The last step before you can fully become one with your element." Moca is on a three hit combo.
"No th-" Draydon tries to not take the help politely but is interrupted.
"I think that's a wonderful idea." Griselda deals the finishing blow. Causing Draydon to slump on the table.
"Fine, fine." He mumbles face on the table in defeat.

Legend of the Seven
Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there. Goals:50 readers will unlock 4 chapters a week - Extra release on Thursday100 readers will unlock 5 chapters a week - Extra release on Tuesday250 readers will unlock 6 chapters a week - Extra release on Saturday500 readers and Project Guides' Sanctum comes online!Links:Lotsseries.blogspot.comSocial:@tonyswag0 - twitter@lotsseries - FacebookI'm thrilled at what is happening and what is still to come.

More disturbing than that is that some unseen intruder is keeping an accurate running count. The more almonds Max finds, the stranger things get. Mysterious noises. Moving objects. Damaged valuables. It's a haunting that grows in power with each success in the involuntary scavenger hunt. As the almonds pile up so do the threats until Max realizes he may just not survive. ____________________________________________________________________________ Author note - This is a short work originally written for Wattpad's Novella Contest (finished second overall). It's a total of 11 chapters and just about 23k words. I'll post a chapter every 2-3 days so it'll wrap up fairly quickly. Anyone in the mood for a quick goofy/creepy read should give it a try. Thanks.
