Underwater

The weekend is here, we went sledding during ninth period, snow is swirling in the air outside, and ideas are flowing! There may be midterms next week, but exams don't faze me – and I need a break from studying.
I got a great idea for dragon physiology recently, followed last night by the concept of the Land of the Rising Sun, a distant land to the east of the island-continent where my dragon story takes place. A most entertaining location to ponder, as no one knows what lies beyond the impassable mountains running along it...
It also occurred to me that Toa Tiome (my Bionicle self) would have immense power underwater. His natural mask is the Kaukau, so he hardly needs to work to maintain the mask's activation, and his element, heat, has devastating effect in water. And as wielding a sword is less than practical underwater, he can use his element to great effect instead... He could cause it to boil or freeze in an instant – the former to scald an opponent or create a screen of bubbles, the latter to trap an enemy in ice far more easily than out of water... And I love water anyway, so this is even cooler.
And yes, that latter idea was brought about by a combination of City of the Lost and the Dead Man's Chest soundtrack. Whee!
Finally, Jo made it to the semifinals! Her new poll can be found here. Votes are, as always, appreciated!
And I promise that I will update Quest for Lost Dreams this weekend. I'm almost done with this chapter; I just haven't been in the right mood or had time to work on it lately...
