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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvrGpZ0LUI
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jWTTr1khc
I floated down one of the chimneys on top of the building. There were instructions echoing inside.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5RgHRq97M
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTbHTwhose
"Please remain seated until you come to a complete stop," the animatronic voice echoed.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQTM9hlXBK
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgwZfUsl2t
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSBT7iaxNJ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oudwyGwrV
The bubble came to a stop and popped. I almost fell but was caught by one of the people nearby.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoBirzJxbu
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD182DIWIi
"So, you the newest member of Dreamland?" He asked.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqax2zq2Pi
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYznMUzuM0O
"Yeah," I said. "I'm Ai."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMj9thI7WP
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLo4EQWcpn2
"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."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga0hqEZNiJ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6KgfYiRqc
He pulled me into a room with two chairs in it. The room looked like it could withstand an atomic bomb.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYFqCcoyPK
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr6pvwY7ok
"Okay then," Outa said. "Let's start your training. Question 1: who was your escort? The animal that brought you here?"534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNO7SZ3PwdS
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRh02m1tDqR
"Fie, the little white snake."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2V0vuomoJ0
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckTPYqAXMw
"Okay. And what did he say your power was?"534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2zdGkuwbz
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrpll744Ap
"Fire and water."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3lLI4Es9Z
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeanHy8q4oB
"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."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbu8SdiP4yK
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidvFzf5K9c
"What do you mean? Those are my only fears."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfA4Nj68OD9
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkur4PxAApr
"Okay. If you insist on lying to me then I'll have to give you a test. Stay right here. I'll be back."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzBdPUoRFs
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwEAfZexN4
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8muNSDro81
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitXg8UUyCd
"Hold this," he said handing me the orb.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKi7Rvq8Wuz
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnjJ1EMjE2
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTq9THxW4Z
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesVdeK4YV3
Outa quickly reached out and grabbed the orb an inch before it hit the ground.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKYegjW73H
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgnx4VgQLd
"I believe you," he said in shock. "And I also believe your fear of water and fire is more severe than I thought."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkW6nxtTIS
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGcvxWOjHw
Before I even realized it, I was huddled in the corner of the room.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQxvwhEhoW
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZN6CKozhu8
"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."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxA03A01MJ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBR2K6vHf7
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iShLgKFHb
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotYgT6m69P
"I need your help," he said immediately.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyW9roHl7cL
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98ZzAPKrRG
"With what?" The man asked.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I9kTe9Jat
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgcWwfM6PI
"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."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRNgU9CYkh
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzswm6vqlew
"Why would I care?" The man asked.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ71jUqV7OfG
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLOtAM8Zkw
"Because she's special. She has two fears."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlGA9yN441
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj214pkzOL
That caught the mans attention.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0AIQPlHmp
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnSwHi5DjG
"What fears?"534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8kxk5QBuL
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRju5iTNuH
"Fire and water," I said.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3T4CklwTLa
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaPvOZh2j7
"Fine."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmseWpBJdkX
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBbSS6M2Uo
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vjVYm56T8
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnaAXfLmvl
"This is Obi," Outa said.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7go8GpG74E
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FVAk9tr7A
"Sit down," the Obi said.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8z9sx6Nk8j
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JDkpTXSdH
I sat on the couch and Obj walked behind me.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeJpiA7eOI
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6JjFeokXf
"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."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlc1OWJNYv
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWt915lggg
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTgeb0cXvw
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYESg74Lup
"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."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4IjmXJpM7
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Mr049Ht0g
I closed my eyes and felt two fingers press against each of my temples.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrqvhrzf01
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7hD4laIBj
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEdoGdysss
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVvRWLQNZ2
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Tu1FOTFlk
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTStO7ey3wl
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8nPqJCqVW
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltpwbdMDDN
"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."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR3geJwDqW
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRAU35re5E
I imagined the fire lifting itself off the couch and that's exactly what it did.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewSrhNI5Ro
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXz60y7C6zC
"You're better than I thought you'd be. Now imagine it getting bigger."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL4qEzSy1C
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNtx0IzsVY
I did and the fire became huge.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6SbCGBtk9
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHknXxFFn0S
"Good. Now imagine it disappearing."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS95OsvSMAB
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4qYLqbyuW
I did an the fire was gone.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAbcxeVrYG
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6naEvDtky3
"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?"534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s2OvusKRj
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FucYCMurV
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhjDJGTxdr
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuboz2GMY0
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CERLjNtOW
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdIpYcTbqT
"Good," Outa said. "Thanks Obi. You can leave now."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyj57XMpkX
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5pMGFWu7l
He walked out of the room. Letting most of the water out with it. Outa removed the rock cuffs from my hands.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ddrLKiqoJ
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGKJ7xQgjT
"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."534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEE610uO7f0
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5Dt34WXpp
There was a medium sized ball of water floating above my hands.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBNrUfU93q
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4Q4o1GLcY
"Good, now imagine it dispersing itself into the air." I did and the ball of water was gone.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJ4kv8WpJt
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkWU70cDDU
"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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0pXl29yxq
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPAwfd4flx
"Congratulations!" Outa yelled. "You have officially master your powers of fire and water. You are now free to roam the world of Dreamland!"534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7tid75YKf
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUKODtX93Zf
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.534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAHcCtNVu0
534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZTJmpvQIS
I raised my fist into the air. "I'm going to live!" I announced for everybody who felt like listening to here. 534Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeASSfPnYKn
