Neo was drowned in thoughts when Air Elementals approached him.
The air around him swirled playfully.
'We've made our choice!'
"And that is?"
'We are not going to help you!'
The wind howled briefly, as if laughing at his predicament.
'It's funnier to see what is happening right now! More entertaining!'
Neo nodded, unfazed.
He had expected such a reaction from Air.
Their nature was fickle, driven more by amusement than duty.
Instead, he called upon another set of Elementals.
"Space."
Silver motes of light appeared around him.
A deep, echoing voice resonated from the shimmering lights.
'What is it, little one?'
"I want your help."
'Whether we can help you or not depends upon the weight of your wish. If it's too heavy of a wish, not just us, but every Elemental won't be able to help you unless you pay an appropriate price.'
Neo was not surprised by the revelations.
It would've been weirder if the Elementals helped him just because he could talk with them.
