There is a river.
It is a wide river, and deep, but not a violent one, not here. There is a single island in the center, with the water running placidly past its shores. On either bank, sparse trees hold the banks from crumbling in.
It is early morning. A single bird sounds its call. All is peaceful.
In the shallows near the island, some of the water stops moving, and more and more of it does so until over the course of about half a minute there is a person there instead of water. She's surrounded by placid little wobbles of it, and she's got wings of it, but she looks just like a local human, amethyst hair and ivory skin with faint lavender streaks up her arms and legs. She sits up out of the water and takes a breath and smiles at the world.
A woman with dark green hair, light blue skin and a distinctly rounded abdomen wakes up on the island, sees her, and breaks the peace by screaming.
...Water blinks at her. Rubs her ear.
...huh. Okay. Water stretches out her wings and ducks underwater and looks around.
The water is clear and has fish and water plants.
The woman peers out from behind her hiding place.
Water comes up for a breath and looks at her.
"I'm Water. I didn't find you," says Water.
"I haven't left yet."
"I didn't."
"I existed!"
"Water."
"I'm an elemental."
"Like me."
"I don't think so."
"No."
