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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpVps00uuq
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKn9OBhobh
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nUNeE8ZtZ
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOHlNmrJas
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4By4sASsy
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrQo5Nl6PV
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqVE6nddRF
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ayvYgjC2d
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DRqSBrWil
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlqNgxrtpr
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTHYMhktZ9
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXLSHyGB6r
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw75CXUh63M
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CsgEOr4c3
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2dwEElv6i
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5t09RNhfN
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqDhgqPZj6
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTFp8feFKu
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GibmNXz6E
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDqIsh594W
"Fie, the little white snake."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUkH7XGoqh
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDmcHlo3Yc
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fahYkf6iD
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzJPsMx8xD
"Fire and water."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqWwY6y75U
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJk7y7Xg7W
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPo6x1HoPo
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQBDnZXClbO
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56dJoDS4oh
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rlrRVMLDu
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKMQqavHe8
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iBdPqnJq7
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLITo5pQRPi
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8Il0mcZS3
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfapujEfRpY
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf19tOtH5KE
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5H3WBTlXs
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ThfuEnIqw
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDY80E1ivX
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIXq3LXdP9
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqjxWXrWvD
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Pd1hEGyfB
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe75stMRGeb
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRLwEqr3VN
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmQeeWj2ZG
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiPUjbZ4vh
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlZjgizDHc
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFZKqzGFOh
"I need your help," he said immediately.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8BHMfrko4
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehQwLWNqrz
"With what?" The man asked.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4cxe9u87B
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedXoykLqBA
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡou40iLPq0L
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAT2XL5SUh
"Why would I care?" The man asked.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvRdRa7PYO
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQ4mGTHKoZ
"Because she's special. She has two fears."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxVeqCpWDd
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94FW2Sji26
That caught the mans attention.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQU7zMuklH
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIrPRV80aZ
"What fears?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHnbfnfdvY
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyByp240Gdz
"Fire and water," I said.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgarmKDffqV
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Mf1jFj4Gv
"Fine."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3zFi0yf3Q
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkiOaCu2uL
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoII7fmRRy
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRHWCJ7Cjr
"This is Obi," Outa said.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspKUxsrwJY
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarsYsYU5F7
"Sit down," the Obi said.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTq9dkDc22
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUlT7Tul1F
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1GQFYon2z
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadz3b5h6jB
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8l84Lxpk8
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv5Z1V7Hlz
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oUU1jnZm2
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAkEZqHhxu
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbVCLKaed5
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR763JrWQc
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvMqO4IkUA
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtfjH76Cuc
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPuepizgIb
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNALVHdTwP
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWIXTW8Vl8
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMS4WCGqIz
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdwhDQPI0e
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYOqMNGbrx
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SJq9oHJQX
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7Ggla32wJ
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrbq1rKIJA
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0E67AyzhK
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqS8ty3MXn
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITv0B7IgK3
I did and the fire became huge.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ17xkFn3Sgf
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92sF0sCsgl
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ65u6NWEA
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fR51FLARR
I did an the fire was gone.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iEpG7CMYc
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnkDOQYqiBP
"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?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmgWlM73UA
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlNARlbXrZ
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecySkFAMwE
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBoZe2OpmS
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WAlEcunij
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uVtZMgJNC
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEjdAvvsAL
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVMMFAuL3J
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyMJkuFEG5
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX88A5oJIQ
"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."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4a79V14HvN
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdECJmcHeKi
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLpRGNmKCD
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTu5r1zmkgy
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHpm1sTJN4
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI7JKBoUQQ
"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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnNOf2L75x
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLXAQ8TdOsr
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2fNE2VRWX
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqsOoluW3l
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.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdg0eQnh5ym
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzpDe36aNV
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVF1NrtgBC
