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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVrkGbmBiH
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡascGxeZfSI
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wdapJQ9xB
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H5CtOaLsW
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAASelhKM76
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsXUVGl9JY
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5Id5NNCio
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjID1aIykDI
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotiqgKnL3G
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhmntU7XOE
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZanjZA1eY1
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJms7AuEYZ
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsa6FVK3ht
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrm5NxboQZ
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0smBm57Kt
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj46QvoPhX9
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEj2OSyhEs
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYjjvEFpj3
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2f95l5KFv0
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3y7p9XHJt
"Fie, the little white snake."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec9EeQQpBU
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSr3n0d9N8
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoePfluBEL
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZDoEW9lJt
"Fire and water."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5bAXM6afq
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxnW71Dmq2
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCkjDkzP44
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqLFoBTz7U
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZJE9x2DIl
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hqDKgrXM0
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa7kMNmJaXp
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxUx5JgRlz
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3K7Im1Rhy
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4D9IY9HS5e
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJcarGsmV2
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXsPh4LMYg
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Vfy2i3HNi
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrECLC8i4dT
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcV4VMKX8le
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFNw2Tugih
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22nx5sbZES
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5QhtCx6pnN
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCN6SbQPcE5
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0rhF2EPO8
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjsfrcCI0b
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCs8qWks5cb
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGaRjSbRzz
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfOhNweOev
"I need your help," he said immediately.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3ppWT6OD9
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡte0lDJ4gym
"With what?" The man asked.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu55GHjK8x
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXb0OCh4J7
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNpPsqGyUX
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlpNtxNKXS
"Why would I care?" The man asked.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWq7zWV930S
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfCMwwPVEc
"Because she's special. She has two fears."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPU87K8rSQ
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiD9rS4FZE
That caught the mans attention.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7NUgxFgZI
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHBiAzBd1o
"What fears?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82rNKtqTC6
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkEhzUPp8U
"Fire and water," I said.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDaqsS2Qbe
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ74I2nIFo
"Fine."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sfuRiNrzx
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJswkE7mCN
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStl6KWdfC4
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3va11FdlKI
"This is Obi," Outa said.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFo1YMWnfn
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOBkolUNbc
"Sit down," the Obi said.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnn85Oa315h
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y1SyXP4Y1
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3prdNEl62
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbDQoDv5WBc
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw5pwAcrxF
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXuVLoFTJV
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZw3BUTICZh
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrpOBWxARO
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCMz8SVyt7
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJdIMHynHH
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErIaUQ0eQE
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyC7KZgf2A
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm80g7W3JU8
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ov50qm8x5
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKAWFMqiEu
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXVQ1MxnVQ
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoqSjFVlqZ
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4ZeI4PHuA
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4nYs65JG6
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOHiuitrbL
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV80j2C3U8
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvrTkbLS41
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwJURyVLjS
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKiDGsLLhZ
I did and the fire became huge.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgW9EPoiX0
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28UhifOrRa
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNI8WPB3MDJ
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVa20czMqBS
I did an the fire was gone.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAx8SCL5Syu
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSkzOtpB0d
"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?"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9rlfMQJVS
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYcqcYDHVT
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eVmOSrQC7
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbh5x4E7ws0
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pBcvYlPQH
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGRNpeFxfxP
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRg3e2BX0p
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWwTD2nkTWm
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ThEeSeCKu
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftMhqqSS2A
"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."553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxlbwmprlk
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ljL3C44O4
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGpG3C9wss
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4c2ZPkUhU
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1I0usDsZA
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVNvf4OpMi
"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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnl7qE5T5j
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaz35tUydJs
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNXoVlXf3R
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvWuBgwXek
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.553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYyRJPhVJkV
553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMOSlWnk2u
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 553Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6FbQJExuN
