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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCG2Hf9VaXp
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4NbRYILQX
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6ySgzsXo2
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUSVfz6tEc
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqES8Qu1Mp
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfKgugCHAL
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfsD0GOVn5
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RNU04wGbS
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6jUVbKlrh
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40D6HdFrrS
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI0izsAePC
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuDoV7y8FH
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiJ9jGSy6R
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWwKtc5I2x
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnkiB37Add
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7FVuw72nT
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUOUfuTw53
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBLLmZKaQU
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhGHc2Sr84
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvNYi2g4uY
"Fie, the little white snake."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50fBFc66UU
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSVrCrdkfY
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUCCOdc9k9
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm4TWltJrG
"Fire and water."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzZS0HnUZW
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oa8XDOn3Q
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbhAQk8dCT
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLK2KB7hlG
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1NBtFEyNK
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKT9pVIkRt
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5mqo8GzS0
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z5FIkUSvd
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf05eG2vygW
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZHr6psveI
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFJTBMfONl
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE73Lg2QSMF
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2K0Q0u8EPQ
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlWLdNI7Gb
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFK7EaHsl3
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHH3mkOMjtn
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgQg9qayFa
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxSdI0uigb
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT1oo6lFS6
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5qpdN4VkP
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh437jtpSoc
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMhH9omita
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKlrQWBEhQ
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl28WW64qy
"I need your help," he said immediately.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjzsiVrPBg
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4U3zBVf4R
"With what?" The man asked.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMYrFyTIls
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1qyH90R55
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvBkkCQuYl
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjHew1j1EU
"Why would I care?" The man asked.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSvcoLM0Ah
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXWynogME5
"Because she's special. She has two fears."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h6PcqxoUz
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1HaO4MeBY
That caught the mans attention.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iBb40yoLb
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3t0kATBLZL
"What fears?"572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnmQVjoWax
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRSmArTFka
"Fire and water," I said.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawgP14qs25
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64F2c0qrJb
"Fine."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GzsJ2Wxm2
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcnJaqmqaZ
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3oQRz8qKs
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92GEKmp6x3
"This is Obi," Outa said.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJU6aZp5Rw
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yF48rnGs7
"Sit down," the Obi said.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkVC0XqyOa
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQcxybORMhx
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPOoJm6fHv
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC5iv6oYXm
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nE4Wr7EJW
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIfJVmmY3b
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjM1ekLyEUt
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5eDdTRRDm
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZgXH6WR3z
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6WpabYZNl
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo4GUpAKju
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqqkjT3xXZ
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplOvSuaTqn
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHoIMTO6oK
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLgdg9nDqK
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVG8eg3sy81
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl1JM6zT4ea
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxHJ7FaONY
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoukdLQxl7a
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OvLpWpjOh
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXI53FBQTiv
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE3rEu0fwt
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0psYA6Ptw
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZoFgeajJP
I did and the fire became huge.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNL3EH8X2FM
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzID06KZzi
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N4tSaiGZd
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIDUZDSrKG
I did an the fire was gone.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9POQk09m0N
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdVRPSrDJ3
"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?"572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4dBzim1jO
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1BNJEu8T7u
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQ2Jm4gCJt
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoI8kXPtWJ
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyVo5d7mH7
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY131b4s5G2
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStOM9qJ9id
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31pmqyTCFe
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR308jcIzB
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUtw5EZkKk
"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."572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1pLEKx96h
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eY3Eb88kp
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh0NtHfIhe
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vFL5s0vNd
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5vG6ayABc
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyMwgdw2Cr
"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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIPDuCh1Ck
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6H7ivgCEu
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvf2h6Ce0Zy
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUWaGvl5l3
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.572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbtaWFi471
572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTPoXjHIAQ
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 572Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSbYktDo2e
