Prompt #5 - What is your greatest fear?
Drowning. Yeah, that's my worst fear.
See, it's a perfectly legitimate fear for those of my kind. My kind you ask? Well, let's see, I'm a fire mage and in my world, fire mages are so because their soul is literally a fire-spirit and they happen to just live in a human body. Same with any other elemental mage really. So I don't actually burn. That's a good thing because if I did, then I would never be able to do my magic.
The downside is that water makes me weak. I literally cannot learn how to swim because I would lose all strength and drown. I...can take showers and walk in the rain, but I don't particularly enjoy it because it's uncomfortable. I can't take baths though. And I can drink water but only because the human body requires it to function.
Yes, I'm afraid of water in general. I hate rain and I hate getting wet. I hate large bodies of water and I hate puddles.
But what I fear the most is someday drowning in the water I hate so much.
