While the elemental fae controlled fire, ice, wind, water and weather, to varying degrees, the terrestrials fell into just two camps: fauna or flora-gifted.

When a terrestrial child was born, families waited on tenterhooks to see where their affinity would lie. Flora or fauna. Never both. Until me.
