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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwvfmW2Td9
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkVrcKNTKV
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjDUGXFXio
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHthYa1cXsh
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmxJaQ7cus
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1vvqAYF7m
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlxxv7hBZz
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3JPKlp6qJ
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZqxD6lvBr
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlpoGgdPyB
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHfCpoMENi
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0uw2sQ3SZ
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dq3mlsOTd
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0n8w780WR
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0KmDiKukU
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIns9uOlfw
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONE8naEQAd
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KpvPUn3fg
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThCNrLvqDR
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tf2RMJXQW
"Fie, the little white snake."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuK2sPbHvTN
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z7RLhDBxN
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zemnGOofl
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6em8PaDVAH
"Fire and water."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMc5kKLemy
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9W1wmmdKj
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkD2XLSQxOb
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbyY7WUIKC
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6o1TveHQt
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnqdOi1bBu
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQbJ88MvHl0
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQSP55WNr0
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHTy2HX5k2
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaINySJ0TFc
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEgrbWwLPo
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5BV4c7VpEo
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gkC959HSq
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx36p4ZHjEj
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfupBgiHeP
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQh0sjZuZp
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUjpP2tCOm
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0Sa1dNbH4
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7Va3Y3Hsp
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJHDWW4tlj
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIYOyLHG9V
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjPKIzeP1Y
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELAKZEk3hC
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPR6SD5eET5
"I need your help," he said immediately.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqnESlUmkT
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvburqsUoER
"With what?" The man asked.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e2Q5VBdhD
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukOuopEyby
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9HWtwUnZq
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchaC5bAFmf
"Why would I care?" The man asked.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjKe213eZu
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCa4qQjFyEH
"Because she's special. She has two fears."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uQfFuu7v7
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XfllckUdm
That caught the mans attention.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5831q8aNJ1
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02KIOgOqi3
"What fears?"624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgB0hyxzkm
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK7Omhxa0b
"Fire and water," I said.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEpUnnXM7j
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hmH0hbQFk
"Fine."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOs9nbgNOm7
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLm7kum6AU
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JXYRtBKGn
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVNYbOeM0k
"This is Obi," Outa said.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyMVx2a5j8
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4N5hKJ68Ir
"Sit down," the Obi said.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj1cstyaPY
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGQ6yHhlHl
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy49Ot7KXil
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bu9xojIiT
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd2ueTRqdd
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqxuCtwj4q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ206lzpjZW7
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmoWTD4Vu9
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kp4dfM5oI
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnL9Gx82yO
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYZfXvWWGO
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2wNsHzMUE
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60InA8QNbq
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUOvWA5n7W
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUiWqvBM7f
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHza5zEfj3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdl9nsASJP
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu29iH8AgqX
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4ObavNIHI
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowcvxI65Yv
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVCDqC8x3h
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvaqgUTi9n
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdlAgjlVeU
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKoRMdH7nZ
I did and the fire became huge.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEtJ43sYcp
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHVMpC295Y
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvmwoN7eyv
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR3Ew2l0wp
I did an the fire was gone.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgHVLGNCc1
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VF6n7tNx8
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fGdAgExmq
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJtDIgHexN
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37c6ZtiCSr
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AzlElgHh9
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw58LtHwU3T
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2Eib8o510
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0oBSzwYNs
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2sTceYXDT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBHuHqRPrv
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XNZgS4R3E
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd07pfcA6mA
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfwgqqCEGw
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZxCeFbJg7
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLxJ4sAd59
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMl33KR6iH
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwA9WS6TEH
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT1GAHnAFt
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsapgyKtkD5
"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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZdMsY0WFt
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbynim0VXc
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJy2B6IHvr
624Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7b4G1THQ3
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqPZUQMDt6
