I couldn't help but smile at the little white snake. I slowly floated down to Dreamland. I took in some of the scenery around me. Trees with multicolored leaves and fruits, people who weren't quite humans, and then the big guild that I was floating down to on a bubble. That was a sentence I never thought I'd say.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDeZLUH4wJ
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYcDPP2IYX
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSswrEfb93B
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MGZLifB1U
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUazA7BkDF
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPni7RQU6u
The bubble and I popped out of the bottom of the chimney. Inside the building I saw at least 20 people. Most of them were busy working on something in front of them, but others were watching me come out of the chimney.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBfLg2ZVxh
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcmG3HOnf9t
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAV4CMKpuJa
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gx3BCPC0a
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUVs05aOS9
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaEiZ9ZvnG
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkpRE4yQ4L
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGatHMU4ebZ
"Well, Ai, it's nice to meet you. I will be teaching you how to control and not fear your new powers. You can call me Outa. Come this way."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqdQA08eaY
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt69GMIubGb
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u06kLFgs5
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLFN1MuCkM
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEjNapXogi
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9hbdu2ZoS
"Fie, the little white snake."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8TCoCstpE
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfVqCvrne4
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeki0sWStX
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIJMpd9zXN
"Fire and water."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt0aH690ci
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64QKuOSyEf
"That's impossible. Only a select few people have the ability to control two different forces. And only half of those can control two apposing forces. What's your real fear."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl8q5wobu9
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbutC8ohTH
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXT7zjzGw8
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQxhZkOx7U
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8sQHPZ6Ub
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr2IEfqIov
He stood up and walked out of the room. I waited for about five minutes before he came back holding a small orb in his hands.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevvFLeU5zL
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX9NoTkKA5
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcX2rPBXZN
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8E4rz0KySm
I grabbed on and it began to glow both the changing colors of fire and the colors of water at the same time. I quickly dropped the orb. I never wanted to be near fire or water again.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcosVatPHpB
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojiaSSECZm
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtG2XSgg4I
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lNTABeHCl
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui2D9tzEqK
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dV8ajvtqT
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgti07a9Ya4
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY376PsvdUo
"And this is going to be a lot of work. Come with me. If we're going to train you we're going to need some special help."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58Foypzkqd
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbyr8Rtuhl
He pulled me off the ground and we walked back into the main part of the building. He walked up to one of the people at the front desk and started talking to him.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64qKEfqnMQ
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQabym0bIRF
"I need your help," he said immediately.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv9ry9kxzq
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKt2lpAkc5
"With what?" The man asked.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w1wdnkh7Q
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zuGJWAZkL
"This girl here," Outa said putting his hand on my shoulder, "has a fear that I won't be able to cure without some help."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5hHRZdGzY
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ93F45eEjo
"Why would I care?" The man asked.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIfGfbixUn
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YTF2iQwaC
"Because she's special. She has two fears."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vEZE2PWDb
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmlrbVoNUE
That caught the mans attention.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcO2FyBm0O2
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDR6K0cdSDz
"What fears?"527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YRaBAyLwe
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbayzltrlm9
"Fire and water," I said.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxce0QvNkMd
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlU90f16M5E
"Fine."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IXGAAEw9R
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylkfhVV3gC
We all walked into one of the rooms deeper into the building. It was bigger than the room we were in before. It had a couch instead of chairs.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dkdKYVRlE
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3RIyVHWfr
"This is Obi," Outa said.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIx83e9MTj
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8BRGMpnbc
"Sit down," the Obi said.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzZdDR8hXO
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58cOnsVzo3
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uOmHTDRL9
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJevMgd5FMt
"What we're going to do is make you relive the experiences that traumatized you until you can conquer your fear," Outa said. "It may seem a bit forceful but it is the best way to let you conquer them. Hold your hands up for me."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEvYNtF1Pu
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QDjg8c3S3
I held my hands up and he pulled a large rock out of his pocket. He stared intensely at the rock and it began to change shape without it being pulled. I watched in amazement as the rock snaked itself around my wrists forming cuffs.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbJ3V4kGH8
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn9a46imDH
"Just to make sure you don't hurt anybody. Now we'll be watching to make sure nothing happens that may worsen your fear. Okay? Now close your eyes."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IVrdCCzgQ
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOhZLZAoin
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10jSraWK0Q
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj36Vwj0aR
I jumped into the first floor of my house and searched everywhere. I noticed the two bowls sitting on the kitchen table. I ran upstairs and checked everywhere. Then I went into the bathroom and relived the rest of my nightmare. We went over it 13 times. Each time I screamed and felt the pain mark my shoulder in the shape of a hand.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hv1TMYHIJ
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuMhrhWnbK
I had a realization. It wasn't the fires fault that Mom and Rin had died. It was the person who had set the fire they were the one to blame. They were the reason behind Mom and Rin's death. The fire was not to blame. I felt a certain peace fall over me. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHN59WtavVE
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlITpEcWFgB
I opened my eyes and looked behind me to see both Obi and Out partly in tears. Another thing I noticed was that the couch was I fire around my hands. But I wasn't afraid. In fact, I liked it. It didn't burn it actually felt good. It was a warm comforting feeling.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6H8KowICfx
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgi2LR77DO
"I'm now going to teach you how to control your fire powers mostly because I don't want the building to catch on fire," Outa said. "Imagine the fire itself while keeping eye contact with it. Do you have an image of it in your head?" I nodded. "Good. Next I want you to imagine it lifting itself off the couch. It might be hard because it's your first time."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bluDK2zhf
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJ6XmY6bGM
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQIpGyxnPu
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkSVA9TtUv
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGfzibIs0s
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpFYYQX7UL
I did and the fire became huge.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4R8jSVvswc
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa3WPHVj86
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoHXIhNdnv
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGT8ahKYTP
I did an the fire was gone.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dY5o4BaeK
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8F1DjrTyi
"That's amazing! I've never seen someone master their powers that quickly. Now you can pretty much do anything you want with fire. Even walk through it without being burned. Now close your eyes again. We'll be reliving your fear of water now. Is it as bad as your fear of fire is?"527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxj0Rb6tIJ1
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRRMHeLvjQ
I nodded and closed my eyes. I felt two fingers press against each of my temples and was suddenly underwater. I felt the pain of the fishes teeth biting down on my ankle. I saw Dad swim down and pry me out of the fishes mouth and get pulled down in my place. I relived this one over 20 times mostly because it was my fault. After a while I had the same realization as I did with the fire. Except this time it wasn't the water, it was the fish who was pulling me under. I felt the rest of the wait be life's off my shoulders and I felt a sense of freedom.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ088pllA8tj
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVstRt3qjNn
I opened my eyes and saw Obi and Outa with the same half in tears look on their faces. I could feel water at my feet. I looked down and noticed that my feet were in a foot tall pool of water.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2dHrclUMb
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdABXsNcGN
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMn5o9xc42N
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn52dAms3b
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rfEITx0aL
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTJEwVK6re
"Water is a lot like fire. It's mostly in the air like some of the chemicals that make fire. You can pull water out air if you want to. Now imagine the same thing that you did with fire. Imagine all the water on the floor connecting into one place."527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WwUiRDcXb
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUb3jbCeCp9
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpczbdUZEd
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23BjklnVIN
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPp8b9EkqZt
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdB1X079NRe
"You should be able to breath under water now.Now I'm going to try to teach you how to use them both at once. I may not be good at this because I, like most people, only have one power. But I want you to try. Start by holding out both of your hands." I did. "Now imagine water appearing in one hand and fire appearing in the other." I did. A small ball of water appeared in my left hand a ball of fire appeared in my right. "Good. Now let's see if you can control them both at once. Try making the fire go in clockwise circles and the water go in counter clockwise circles." I did and that's exactly what the fire and water did. We spent the next hour making more intricate shapes and patterns with the water and fire.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBpH2xO2Pw
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshLizsHQ78
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCTUuIRtwy
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNyCgWj4FP
I walked out the door and started to walk to the nearby mountains. I looked back once but kept walking. I was going to do exactly what Mom wanted me to do.527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc2KWrNqxu
527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0aTFUXHNKo
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 527Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmNWu8dn4S
