HIro continued to explore the possibilities of water, he pointed his palm in a direction away from anyone or anything else that could get in the way, aimed slightly downward into the water, and launched a barrage of watery projectiles, watching them fly through the air and splash into the pool. When that was done, Lord Drae asked him about fire, and if he lost control of that element. He gave it a moment of thought.
"If you lose control of fire, it spreads. If you're not careful in a forest, you start a forest fire. You can cause collateral damage. You could potentially set yourself on fire. I tend to have a resistance to fire. My father, and myself, we trained together meditating in lava in a volcano. You had to keep hydrated too, even while doing that. I imagine if you spend too long, you could lose yourself, or just die, burning to a crisp if you're not strong enough." Hiro watched Lord Drae's movements, he wondered where he was going in this line of questioning. It was hard to figure the God out. He seemed so mysterious, and hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Well, my whole family has been fire aspected, is there a risk in not gaining the respect of water, you're saying? If Fire doesn't respond to me it can backfire, figuratively and literally. Water, on the other hand, it can probably refuse to obey my call, I could drown in water, or freeze in ice. I don't have the resistance to other elements as I do with Fire. But water isn't as . . . innately dangerous initially as fire. Fire burns on touch, water can soothe a burn, wash dirt off skin and other things. It's required for life, though can also take away, if you drown or breathe in water. Water can be corrupted, it can be poisoned. It can be frozen. Hmm, there's probably a way to dehydrate a target through magic, but that's probably off topic. It's probably something I wouldn't want to mess with anyway, lest I dehydrate myself," he shelved that thought for later. "I think I should be able to handle using either element, fire or water, and maybe combine the two with practice. I imagine it'd make a steam explosion."
