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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi85arGw9oH
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnOkv4qi4Y
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVCJqb60CQ
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11DhlEpuyM
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7nhVkmbUn
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnWYXCYclq
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97g5aiTTHD
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZSNgMe2Eb
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPvPQnpCiO
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cA8xlLhw3
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LMOijqlz1
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5nBlDvzFP
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkw0kTcsSKV
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd47Hu3YXzC
"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."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMOqNc8TwB
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxDXgSPJv8
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEif1ONTw51
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6lXWRrCBT
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAjBNLPj1Y2
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rISlVya3n
"Fie, the little white snake."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWxjv23nZJ
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSsHKZ965X
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lzRLUux8g
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJrvzbVas9
"Fire and water."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rpaslNk2K
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnn5nTnjAU
"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."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4seNrwuoD
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AzlcQ2iZo
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzdcsxHhcy
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5pZO7FaEY
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoptzEyKBaR
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdHgQJwHaY
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmpqZhBzvs
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeAGO1x9IX
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGFChRWUqG
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsz1A7R2WG3
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXnP0i3IsP
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlYcnNgdP0
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi1ViKjTBY
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ7BLAJmMf
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdRnrGxCeh
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XnqSB80DC
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYkarJlOqz
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBe1ZVNfcL
"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."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcB0KjSMK0
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlV0jaHIXtN
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEFNTOECsW
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83gQyhHA2i
"I need your help," he said immediately.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4Dgj9nize
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLnqRPvh4tB
"With what?" The man asked.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgUk7Zx0wM
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99rwXdpJaJ
"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."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlE6NdfJAf
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTusekBRDB
"Why would I care?" The man asked.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dL6bh30Jp
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVKK4Kg6p4
"Because she's special. She has two fears."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQelDwOxE50
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fm8FHXKQ5
That caught the mans attention.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIA78LEgsib
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpzKTYI74q
"What fears?"573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq97NNfCE28
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfiFX3AgPy
"Fire and water," I said.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBjksDpnGu
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IHxZGab2V
"Fine."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjySDA3Sjv
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSxV3MY69r
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKewt7OWQq6
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyt2TAKh0m
"This is Obi," Outa said.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRriDd79q5P
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4e3BkVPAy
"Sit down," the Obi said.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRben8fDDms
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6OOhUIsy4
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdhsMvfWl2
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYzDBzPlVf
"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."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXQxp0Q2TG
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzPMSvUgWm
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6WKem0bmp
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBHj93QjDe
"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."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCnel2O8N0
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OchGw2LDm
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDV9CiMO4cb
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETXkaGyYv8
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZUsHWarHM
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgZbGta22m
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppzRicoiRa
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLYtkr6UvM
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIrrbcUuXv
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rw7FFZx0U
"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."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBo3RQJ4rj
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCbPSziVTv
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufgI4z2bDp
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C0wnOuHHm
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAMf0qXKkl
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdLEl4KT2E
I did and the fire became huge.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EL1wRFbQc
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjH5HyQRCRD
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3dPb4YftC
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDiHb52A0J
I did an the fire was gone.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXlkC5CCxX
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdZyH8mHlf
"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?"573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29c6YCdR31
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjHZ3vhlgS
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ED9bFsmTe
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmOZRz5md1
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtWmikRUmA
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8UCE07nS4
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvCjSVF8D2
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZW7ZWA4tCT
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLIcv2daxh6
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1HOqrDXOt
"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."573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPCki7akzPg
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4HwFleH4R
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3hk10sAktC
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jrJGo40om
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2lTrrjBqG
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lmjqP2Ivf
"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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKrebuYR7Y
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKBbQvWNOq
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2b5dZGRqq
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AOQRIAQk6
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.573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9InB5oTBt
573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGT9W2picj9
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 573Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLt21afPS9
