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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaovOBsk2BJ
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPcxiIJyhD
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRvTaVS9OP
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vm8zYLDpV
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjAzoivnZq
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1NIPuGHNn
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiTeIWOTt6
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ803Rh2Gi73
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGhfnCYZUX
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZxkBcMXQVJ
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusY7VjD8vH
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHglF9eWp8G
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelfwpdBmCQ
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi537iaHfq
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLAcDduZq6
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U5rlTcMdQ
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnehYAtqXY
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTEl7dadqd
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFz6Xnc8qo1
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCsEJPRnPD
"Fie, the little white snake."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TDhpuvTwD
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhR2D5ELgA
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPpRKWizYc
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47EoJYfM8h
"Fire and water."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVX0T0Ll4V
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKg4p4a0M85
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSB1auoYjO
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIyBGC0d5B
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWn0UjrHbH
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXlkd1AHjf
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGEhabvLTa
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDyqFF5Itfs
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZwyLanxUg
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYqk1LkEzg
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbrJG3Qd8B
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhThAbelPjm
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1kW4WWh8n
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxIfnWlMzz
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZqmgO21sB
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrK8hjM2nI1
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z7CCqcO3K
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTTFcnBTuS
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEUPruRdfj
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSSeB63aWW
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2IFPpzdud
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64UpsRQeYl
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK3GQtdL9X
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcdaeYLDZA
"I need your help," he said immediately.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm1eoW4SXL
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4H5uTjWiS
"With what?" The man asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE0gi9D7Uk
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXF34dNoKqR
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnU70wgidD
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyibqeQnKZ
"Why would I care?" The man asked.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dCLNXzQX9
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYTyY1UwBs
"Because she's special. She has two fears."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JzzHKrmF2
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpEARRwhAq
That caught the mans attention.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggsADJH2vO
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4UplpsmueH
"What fears?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVftH3mitAs
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9N7Sivfyi
"Fire and water," I said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQ5AZhHEwP
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsdmyuErvS
"Fine."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaerHRM1LI
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwitJVRnDBj
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI5RkbY749
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25gXsCWsVV
"This is Obi," Outa said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfJR3GB2mb
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4O6KXkc8i
"Sit down," the Obi said.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogUry2674f
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTfVpTgeFv
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtgImyaALm
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8bDLE5bsT
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PjIMrjw6i
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFd4EmbTP5A
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHre3wsFVzJ
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bVcbqVNXo
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g9WNHkZf4
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xh1GzWtJi
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvFkSSe1Fi
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIZjV6PvNI
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3aiYmSm1WV
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOk4P2ShxK1
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡji4Zvf82Fo
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2Gsiqrslp
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk61ki4LeIR
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJvshHwf2W
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsil7MwF9P
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcre5xGxr3g
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrn778VjqT
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xK3V8EhfZ
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXY8zFWdWR
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXK1ZgESEo
I did and the fire became huge.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYhVXKTtsi
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdzlo4UanL
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBu3aSMAN2C
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7AIMMSnLAi
I did an the fire was gone.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzPzSrA1wK
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiLqPIV3cf
"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?"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYaE4DhPxP
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk3iHBfDfR
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODNu2IUtNW
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGGCcqHyLK
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcuqsDFBXR
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfWoKYkYOK
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObSprnFTI4
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrYUU0S7jR
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oWsLN2JHF
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDM8VYEXwnY
"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."787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRdwc9x8g0e
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKniGIwEg8
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaZ0uJGJ7U
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEseyyv12bK
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4EBqAkP6q
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLIPyeEfq7
"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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29RRZYQ9ls
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Y4X4OgT1
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQQTRh77YG
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPHSwNuIwf
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.787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWTJkUmj1Z
787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPN27MMjLB
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 787Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd90BkkCPsi
