Earth,
Solid, strong, hard, unforgiving, bearer of live, consumer of death, constantly worn away and rebuilt, slow moving but juggernaut, stable yet malleable, stops water yet melts in the flood, merges with fire to flow freely and explode into the sky, redirects wind only to become part of the sky itself
Water,
Ever fluid, ever moving, bearer of nutrients for life itself, easily manipulated but unstoppable, quenches fire, flies with air, white frozen rivers grind earth to paste, blue islands on the seas of time and space
Fire,
Driving the universe, convection radiation conduction, exploding brimstone, turning all that lives to cinders, destroyer of civilization fuel for life, driving water into the air, lighting the heavens
Air,
Pushing water through the sky, oceans disappear, earth carried away, fire driven yet quenched, crisp and cold, gritty and hot, infinite yet mostly empty, with water spinning behemoths smashing all in their path
