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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4dlq2wv8z
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWom2mZv1Ky
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfvSaxLRoO
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJVuciLBov
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jAZKZxeza
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLay6hKdekh
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bigCGEsd8
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTY53egE1HI
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifUQrZWNLG
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡutu5qvHUnl
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30b8spNA2R
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdd1VVgQ8P
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM78FOZwPp
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Bq9Hv029V
"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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL5pRdk1qC
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfYEvj3cwU
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnCawffjno
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFEsAUqu1t
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2tcYTrOJ3
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUCr5YeMFF
"Fie, the little white snake."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhEXi2melq
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRYYAc5YxD
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKCFfbCIhH
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPaopZ9EVM
"Fire and water."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzhQK34KZh
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDK52ucd31
"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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUoakf87Er
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV49gTjz7D
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUhgnVVAje
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh95a5eADLn
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMGgSByBhR
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9EHSIg9bK
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXghL5l98W
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy890UbV4t
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOREgBQdW2s
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBauc0S4cnw
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ysYqZ9auJ
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQBivf4Xl5
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdlsDb0A6I
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDUH9v7fak
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzLNvoxz2V
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rhMU5xKHS
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzjJzSHUFi
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaIAsObZ3ID
"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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqFeFeGh09
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOQbLMtZFS
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAN0FYlxl4
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWjZL7pqfX
"I need your help," he said immediately.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7i4fFdcz80
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNJSEt4BqSR
"With what?" The man asked.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXvaFzTNov
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhdxftazyM
"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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANN47KMzDB
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAiMmoc31o
"Why would I care?" The man asked.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWtEwl9PbT
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgXysiqOqlK
"Because she's special. She has two fears."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM922JzbYq
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzCE4M56gE
That caught the mans attention.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpI4T5YtQi
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNbW92oBuF
"What fears?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY56KB8g1qK
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeHN4tBANG
"Fire and water," I said.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aKKX67k2h
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdLkbX8THr
"Fine."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD2fzBcq2t
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25s1icZp8s
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsBx9qZTbM
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDQcPG4spi
"This is Obi," Outa said.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnEMliPhkY
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNu472Z0kh
"Sit down," the Obi said.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJuGJNni6G
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW78G4YAPq
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VdRz8HQNH
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiJGCQROLq
"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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtUULXclcL
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJp5CC1OFBu
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ0CLlktDa
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bU3cPOl9l
"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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtoj6B4ZVb
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDN9yYPBeiW
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXFjjHCoI9
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7u2e85B6S
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciHHt9viLb
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm3mfRUMIq
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG0HjqOVkq
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsis27z6hyn
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN318CRyuld
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXSiwHg1eA
"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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvD5Y7usvIR
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJku080D4fD
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomTZbHb64l
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xVXKExbDC
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDxKXpVEUN
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9LOvWlPB6
I did and the fire became huge.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVilEawv57
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpgC2LgLoI
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGzzRS8CT4
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8L3FsWSef
I did an the fire was gone.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3pjmwilAu
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNaOafQZ1ka
"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?"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTpcrvHeiO
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkJpsMjOYF
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbqS1IGSAv
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cNLU5amJv
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBihLhi1Szm
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbnwGlI1lE
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZiTr8BooA
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmcMubUJb7
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtn96R0s0l
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2j3qq831Xj
"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."671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4Br4TqEl1
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyYnrrj5Ne
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODA1NaaGkR
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOi2lVaC4T
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkywS4tkVOc
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUGsYwkfeZ
"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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡenXQICA4Jd
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXZhahw7mF
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsN94RJNl8
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavbhdw8Mzg
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.671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqcuFbGhF0
671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvgon4Ll3v
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 671Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOXiDinOlu
