They had brought in several intractable elementals; which also meant that Aira had gained some deep-seated enemies. Among them were those who had wanted her dead so that she wouldn’t be a threat to their own ambitions; those who feared that the balance among the elemental rulers would remain shifted towards the fire and earth elementals were joined by those specific families who had been affected by the efforts to bring those especially dangerous people to justice.The Elders had not asked Aira to put anyone to death since she had proven herself capable by killing Alex under their orders; but she had grown into her full abilities in ways that impressed both Dylan and Aiden.
