Here's the plot, pure and simple:
When the pilgrims were settling America, there were some who wanted to find more for themselves. Unknown parties went off, and were never heard from. From one of those parties, four friends went off on their own and got lost in the woods in what is now Montana. They stumbled across a small cabin, where they found a dying old man. He told them that he had great power, power that had been passed down in his family since the beginning of time. He told them he could control the elements. Skeptical until they showed them, the four friends--Reaki, Joseph, Matthew and Ophia--wanted to help the old man. The only way they could help, he said, was to take the power. He gave the power to control an element to each one, and he told them they were chosen for this. Each took on their own element. They went their way. They traveled the world. They had children, and so the powers were passed on.
As the years went by, the secret to complete control of the element was lost. Those who had the power sometimes had uncontrollable moments. Many of the world's natural disasters can be traced to an elemental. Some were accused of being witches and were burned. Similar things happened all over the world.
In 1907, a small Earth elemental from the small town of Crystal City, Montana (which was definitely not a city) decided that enough was enough. She wanted to help those "Chosen" to have this power. Finding others with the gift, she created a camp--The Chosen Camp. It was created to help people control their powers and live normally. People who have show powers are invited to the camp, or sent by people who know of it. The camp continues, with many people coming from all over the world. When their powers are mastered, they stay and teach or leave and live.
