"My connection to the elements is raw and far from tame. I don't think I am great at feeling things like Wrenn would be." Astrid shifts her pose. "For me my power feels like a raging storm at sea, threatening to overturn me every time I use it. I have gained a small amount of control in the past few years, but even still."
Astrid sighs. "One time during a thunderstorm I went out in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep and just stood there marveling at the lighting as it streaked across the sky. Then lightning struck a tree nearby the core of the tree burnt while the outside was protected it from the weather." Astrid produces a small wrapped object and pulls it out revealing a piece of charred wood "This is what it feels like i could become if I ever lose control. Spiders are a silly fear, for to become like this wood that burned at the center of the tree. It looked like a pair of eyes starring at me through two knots."
Astrid shakes her head and re-wraps the the charred piece of wood. "Sorry, I... " her mouth dry she retrieves her water skin and takes a drink. "Perhaps the skull holds some power or perhaps your belief that it holds power will cause it to do so. I am not the best to talk about such things. Perhaps we should be going."
