Water Weaver
Our protagonist, Jasper Moore, was born with some terrible luck. Simply put, he was born without a pair of legs. To make matters even worse, he belongs to a family which religiously honed their skills in Taekwondo, thus leaving him nearly abandoned and alone until the age of seventeen. On one unassumingly boring day smack dab in the upper reaches of Idaho, Jasper's life starts to take an interesting turn. He and the rest of 2024's entire population hear a strange voice, commanding them to, wait, defend the universe? There's strange and humongous Gateways littered all around the world, along with some weird screens in the corner of everyone's vision. According to the screens, every being on the planet now has access to one of the four fundamental elements: fire, water, earth, and wind. However, these powers don't come without consequence, as all the world is informed of it's complete and utter destruction in five years.
For Jasper, there's one tiny problem. The nearest Gateway Is in California, more than 900 miles away! Hell, he and his wheelchair can't even move over nearly flat ground or gravel without busting his ride! Seems like Jasper will need to get creative with his newfound power over water if he wants to make it on time, much less protect the universe!
*I personally am not missing my legs, so some sections of the novel may seem unrealistic or downright offensive to those with the same, or a similar disability. If you have any advice about certain struggles people with such a condition have, let me know, and I'll either fix or add certain parts to make our protagonist's struggles more realistic!
Thanks!*
