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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmimlitslv
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e7bGOoomX
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9uqkPlnxf
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuehxLJ0970
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCVbk3vLMe
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaoXmXQSQW
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiQdvtlX1X
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRr4t8dBmk
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0boOBgQ8BO
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zfTVfbtLq
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sLveovJx2
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlyztmEyST
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIKSn4QVPR
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAo1lHra6g
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dgt8XvVfd
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewIDE87MDh
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfMa3OQXrw
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjsdoL5g9Mr
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZ2XZz44re
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfDl9ngCceh
"Fie, the little white snake."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNheqLEsQo
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1x5f5Lr55Y
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjDFbtWIx4
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpA00mNdfV
"Fire and water."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4uJFupp7H
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG7a1wjk88
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqquzR5TbF8
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebuDjyC6zv
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4CZzw1Opt
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnipb2ygkH
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZLndkuJ7X
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1ITvo676V
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXH6XNzwCp6
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcLavRYZd2
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTyGR7aAoGM
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn3KTcrzee
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4STXDGD1Md
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrA9EKBxLv
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7yF6T1qir
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1Vk91EBMW
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82q9GXXQCL
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx8cm11hOz
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2R27pwMK8I
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEspdnILqk
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6dy9X6dR3
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalfhwnxGwD
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG85a647KXl
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6SSlX4jWc
"I need your help," he said immediately.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡab4WhTwwe9
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqyN2ECyEj
"With what?" The man asked.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHCQa5vosq
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiXZ1kMfW2
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0bk4aHgTC
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrR8mOlrUj
"Why would I care?" The man asked.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYfRMMlShP
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjCHlVyGOv
"Because she's special. She has two fears."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3bd00d6N1p
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEeCds2ajF
That caught the mans attention.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPehoazmez
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zzEsK4KRT
"What fears?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUZmSSyBJj
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gB3s5dc70
"Fire and water," I said.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zBoLUlII8
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1k7O94m3Bz
"Fine."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0Y6Hjeb4a
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BvSz3l3W9
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVKtNggVAm
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sdMJfmBrq
"This is Obi," Outa said.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9unpIdiWrh
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqXdE7EBgC
"Sit down," the Obi said.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZGVcGRVL0
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGVL2G5lU6
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFzkAsNb9C
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrgLaCrqZj
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgtUVJeDfU
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LmpXL0gqj
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe31415vqzc
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR9VOap5CT
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUAZ7yCRkF
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFihgjdYpN6
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguYx7JJROL
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBy0IsbS006
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjSI8XieE3
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmJiNYe3ch
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgUOWNnDsZ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74KSADF90l
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvl0RKeLFW
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHcvLSHkDd
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYC969QeSF
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiN9gvAuBv
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2JqoKIkUK
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFnG5Wtj6U
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwbcxeH7C5
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMEsBdIyCq
I did and the fire became huge.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN9LO8tbpY9
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X94Q3B0bA
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rv5HG5yDa
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1Chrif6RW
I did an the fire was gone.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3qD0Hh6sg
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF1j3jvjYc
"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?"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghJRJC25Jl
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRoowZXLEa
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XGv6j9ccg
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaJtoZMhwb
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem6b3maBmC
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPijI14Lij
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW4hGeFbCn
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr6Rf9Pflw
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ9FbgKia5
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduUjrN3fdu
"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."537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjo3C4b0NJ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ykl20VsR
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3NOAqzj7s
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz6D2FF2Me
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecCUEFi6jt
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMkGuMmsxu
"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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKkZygQUmN
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKDFKsBedb
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pc6FROWB6
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpCrZOoo3A
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.537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRy6Gr6qEQ
537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGi79b4Q51
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 537Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8Lowd1yzz
