The challenge is to take a piece of art done several years ago and &#8220;redo&#8221; it with your current skill level.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The idea behind the challenge is solid and brings to mind a story I wrote a few years ago about a bound air elemental. That was <i>then<\/i>. Let&#8217;s do a <i>now<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">**Okay. So the plan got away from me. Before I could start, I had to understand the elemental&#8217;s point of view. After a few hundred words, I discovered its motivation and now I&#8217;m off to write the story.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"f\"><big><big>T<\/big><\/big>here were centuries of nameless beings flowing together in a realm that held only one element: water. Without the air, there was no horizon. Without the earth, there was no muck, mud, or grit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"f2\">The one that ripped him from that blissful state of being was named Tabbo Treespeaker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"f2\">Tabbo Treespeaker was nothing like It had seen before. It could sense the water in Tabbo, but the water was diluted. Mixed. Not pure. Though mostly composed of water, Tabbo\u2019s form never switched. Some kind of casing kept everything and in a fixed flesh form.<\/p>\n<p class=\"f2\">It was willful with a wild spirit. Tabbo broke both and named It Warden. Told It to form itself like Tabbo; a man. Told It that Its duty was to keep all men who weren\u2019t Tabbo from delving deeper into Tabbo\u2019s swamp. And it had done so faithfully\u2014even using the name Warden\u2014while Tabbo was alive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"f2\">It could feel two-leggers, men, wading through wastes high swamp water, and they were coming Its way. It used to keep men out because that was what Tabbo wanted. Now, It killed men because every single one of them looked like Tabbo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"f2\">And It could never kill Taboo enough.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">\u00a9 Ezekiel James Boston<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<hr \/>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/ezekieljamesboston.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/water_elemental_redux_by_ianllanas-d6qgkzp.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1907\" src=\"http:\/\/ezekieljamesboston.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/water_elemental_redux_by_ianllanas-d6qgkzp-300x232.jpg\" alt=\"water_elemental_redux_by_ianllanas-d6qgkzp\" width=\"300\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a>\u00a92014-2016 ianllanas<\/center>You can find more by Ian Llanas at:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ianllanas.com\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/ianllanas.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/ianllanas.deviantart.com\/\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/ianllanas.deviantart.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IanLlanasArt\" target=\"new\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IanLlanasArt<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the &#8216;now&#8217; part of a then and now challenge completed by artist Ian Llanas.
