Day 3: Write a story with an Elemental-type monster 

'''Marco was lying in his bed. All the blankets pulled around him. Shivering. Still cld. Little else he could do to stave off the cold surrounding his small mountainside house. “Am I going to die?” The door opened and a chill blew inside. He heard the floorboards creak. Someone was stepping closer. He turned to look and saw a woman with blue skin. Her hair and body were covered in pieces of ice, and her legs ended in sharp icy points. When she saw him, she called outside.'''

'''“One man located!”  She turned to Marco. “My queen has ordered us to find anyone living in the area, and evacuate them. Come with us. We will take you somewhere safe. Marco barely had enough energy to step out onto the floor. He followed the ice woman out the door. There was a large snow vehicle. He was ushered into the back, where a few other people sat. It was much warmer and he sat down on the floor as it started to move. '''

'''“Lucky we picked you up, buddy”. One of the men said.'''

“Where are we going?”

'''“They’re taking us up the Ice Queen’s castle. She’s giving us a place to stay until the spring. Those Glacies were assigned to find us”. '''

'''“That’s good” Marco replied, unable to tell why he still felt so cold. '''

'''In the palace, it was still cold, but not nearly as oppressive as it had been in his house. He was given a room and a few things to make the place his own. Marco sat on the bed, wondering what to do now, when someone walked in. '''

'''“Marco? My name is Agitha. I’ve been asked to see that you are settled into your temporary home”.'''

“I am but…” Marco had a thought, but he couldn’t manage to put it into words.

'''“Yes? Is there anything else I can do to help?”'''

“Can you hold me?” He blurted out.

'''“What do you mean? Like making physical contact? How would that benefit you?”'''

'''“Please, I feel so lonely, I don’t know why. If I could just make contact with you.” '''

'''“Alright,” Agitha said. She crawled onto the bed, putting her arms around Marco’s shoulders, seating herself in his lap with her legs straddling his waist. “Is this suitable for you?” Marco felt a tug at his heart. Before he knew what he was doing, he kissed her on the lips! “Mmm? Agitha made a noise in shock. When he parted, she looked at him. “What was that?” '''

'''“Agitha you’re very pretty. I’d love to get to know you better.” He rubbed her sides, her cheeks, her hair. It was cool and smooth. “There’s something else I want to do”. He said. “Will you let me show you what that is?” Agitha stared at him for a bit. '''

'''“Maybe I do.” Marco pulled down his pants. “Hmm, spirit energy? I don’t understand how this could be any different than extracting it from the cold air. Let me see what you’ve got.” Marco took her hips. She had the same cool feeling as the other parts of her body. Agitha trembled a bit, her face starting to blush. When they were done, Marco gave her another kiss. '''

“How did you like that babe?”

'''“Oh, that, that was-I don’t know. Very different. I might have to try it again to learn more”. She covered her face. '''

'''Marco and Agitha spent the rest of the season together, talking with the others in the castle, meeting with the queen, and looking out over the many sights on the mountain. But especially giving spirit energy. When the season started to change, Agitha couldn’t bear to be separated, and the queen, smiling at the knowledge of what must have happened after meeting her own husband, gave them a blessing and allowed Agitha to leave with Marco, to live in his house. '''

'''Agitha lay sprawled out on the bed. So hot. Practically melting. She barely had any energy to move. The shards of ice around her hair and body had started to melt, and her legs were a half-formed puddle. “Marco where are you?” The door opened.'''

'''“Agitha I’m back. Agitha?” Marco walked to the bed. “Sweetheart what’s wrong?”'''

'''“I’m hot. I can’t stand the summer. I almost wish I was back in the palace. Marco put a hand to her forehead. It felt barely cooler than his own, and her skin was slick with sweat and moisture. '''

'''“I think we need to call a-doctor? Who do we ask for help with this?”'''

“Can you give me some spirit energy?” 

“Are you sure that’s what you need?” 

'''“I don’t know. But it would make me feel better”.'''

'''“I can’t say no to that”. Marco kissed her. They spent the afternoon slowly together, and Agitha slowly regained her vigor. Her temperature dropped, and the ice started to reform. '''

'''“Aahhh, I feel so much better. She was cuddling with Marco now. “It’s like how I can keep you warm in the winter. Now you can keep me cool in the summer.”'''

'''“And it keeps me cool too. Sure beats an air conditioner”. Agitha summoned a small swirl of snowflakes to whirl around the room, before disappearing. “Weird. I feel myself getting warmer again. But it feels better this time”. Agitha’s legs were still intact. “It’s like my heart is melting…”'''
