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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX3oI5IGR4
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV4Rydo3hi
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QnI3wVQQu
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf87sRCNGW
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG5Ili0zLG
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PiFbgOGMJ
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZm0hqodfS
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSGnZilMge
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQMQ8iAkYo
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwPgDJ9IJ1
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡno4RBWE06n
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeYbntozKI
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnvf4HCzmH
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQNN68Ripl
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuibZTD9lN
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXQsjU4ZMk
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WL2M6TwzF
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyUbvzyK8X
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPVW92GS4k
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNhHkAAT0Z
"Fie, the little white snake."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9uckHs6SN
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFS3fce1Ro
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpYt3VUvOO
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MZ2YuuF1T
"Fire and water."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo5p0tT0Co
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsge1HVjJFU
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWs8Ww1UkO
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡffK40nhYEa
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKLy0qj43Nz
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qzv502AWi
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGp43Z9Kth
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSd1shbCV5D
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUvfNcyG1C
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIj0tvgSr2
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ25qpOgMX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8EmoONMeq
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfk4Yb4iwtg
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4u9IFZq3X7
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAUmk2DnD9
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeK5KijHSz
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx1gGzGD80
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIhEp5vNhl
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLA72LZT5V
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTGkeQGIej
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzigh9bJmJ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4TiwHDgxC
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP6upP8M3z
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxAxq006rA
"I need your help," he said immediately.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgtHLIYrXoE
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXXXxPf1HE
"With what?" The man asked.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L0El9XQiQ
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauXZcVSSgE
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ggjdRm8N3
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHApCusgIZ9
"Why would I care?" The man asked.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdUViDIXnz
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVGGEd7NHV
"Because she's special. She has two fears."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2o1AGS5ES
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH3NU1Xynj
That caught the mans attention.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx89j0t7rGm
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNNJYXHVVQ
"What fears?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhSlKhxqk4
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCFIiRA2kg
"Fire and water," I said.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOcIEodAMV
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARRcRTuIDB
"Fine."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQd4oGZezV
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8HqKQDqjLF
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yd4Mr1r3T
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9LEcTM3Gn
"This is Obi," Outa said.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBA57mF1hJd
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2C9q35gPC
"Sit down," the Obi said.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD8VEw827S
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDaLAacfOK
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo6FPkO0xX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGwCi5cAac
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVFrq8EfkF
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvvfMeTEbq
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvSBrRrHvy
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Tv6GQ4M3
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZl6qAt6rio
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAZobZ5yko
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEYksNdkQC
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkALQMptbAV
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV11SHxI7aX
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqHFs3pXAN
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKEJVtkmaC
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBXuJnL6nF
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpJNGtwRSA
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuepF9Sa6je
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwZCZyUlUf
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQ8mJ96Y1L
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJVCLguzHs
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXIYWL3KMH
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4eJsmJZUi
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78YZDKEVoQ
I did and the fire became huge.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wafKzwEzO
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGucr86xvC
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLG9eGYsdoV
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvJfSdzh4Y
I did an the fire was gone.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmJY653xee
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm48BAu7Dce
"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?"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡht12aF1Aye
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRiITFmJpD
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFoyg9wKQp
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVOHiApnUP
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEea4nQeDcI
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24Tk55kfve
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNndZDvxf3e
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnIuBC8Kpk
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspvkzrtbF4
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7MlilJT71
"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."555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhSGkfhYz5
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgDnnTNr4O
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YUZJlaf1Q
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95nVBDGqhy
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklH0ktV6h3
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4tSoUCX3b
"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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FfSqHie1E
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE60SQaCrNR
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2hB9nuUjU
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIwMgxWQZN
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.555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphTbnv7SbB
555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7nqV2rIzzO
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 555Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmPUkJiHoL
