Chapter 7:

"Cassidy!", Hydras, the Grand Dragon of Water called out for the young human-dragon hybrid from the beach, of the island they stayed on. "Cassidy! Where is she?"

Hydras then looked down to see the white tank-top and shorts that Cassidy wore when she wasn't in the water.

"She must be in the water.", Hydras said as she looked out onto the sea.

Just then a blue, seven foot, young, male leviathan with yellow eyes and sky blue long hair rose up out of the water.

"Ah! Levi!", Hydras said happy to see one of her children.

"Is something wrong, mother?", Levi asked.

"It seems that your little sister is out for a early swim again.", Hydras said with a grin.

"Not again!", Levi said while shaking his head.

"I'm afraid so.", Hydras said.

"I'll find her.", Levi said as he began to swim around the island.

But once Levi turned to begin his search, young Cassidy jumped out of the water in front of him!

"BOO!", Cassidy yelled making Levi jump back.

"Aaah!", Levi yelled as he jumped back. "Don't do that, Cassidy!"

Cassidy fell back in the water laughing as she began doing the backstroke.

"Got you!", Cassidy laughed before she dove into the water and swam back to shore.

"Not funny, Cassidy!", Levi snapped as Cassidy walked onto the beach and began to shake the water off of her before walking towards her clothes.

"You need to lighten up, big brother!", Cassidy said as she got closer to her clothes, where Hydras was waiting.

"Cassidy!", Hydras said in a calm yet stern voice. "What have I told you about scaring your brother like that?"

"Not to do it, unless he wants to play.", Cassidy said as she put her shorts on. "But I was only having some fun, while taking a swim!"

"Either way, you scared your brother when he was about to go looking for you.", Hydras said as Cassidy was putting her tank-top on. "I think you owe him an apology."

"Okay.", Cassidy said as she slowly walked towards Levi who was laying on the beach. "Sorry, Levi."

"Yeah, yeah.", Levi said as he used his tail to rubbed Cassidy's head. "I forgive ya! I just can't stay mad at you for to long, sis!"

Cassidy then hugged her big brother who hugged her back by wrapping some of his body around her.

"Okay, you two.", Hydras said getting their attention. "Did you two have breakfast yet?"

"Yes.", they both said.

"Good.", Hydras said. "Levi, it's time for you to go with the other leviathans for you lessons. You can come back later, when you've had your lunch."

"Yes, mother.", Levi said. "See ya, Cassidy!"

"See ya, Levi!", Cassidy said as Levi spreaded his wings and dove into the water.

Levi then swan to where the other leviathans were. Hydras, who was shrunk down to ten feet, and Cassidy then began there walk through the forest of the island with Cassidy walking on her hind legs.

"Okay, Cassidy.", Hydras said as they walked along a river that flowed through the forest. "Tell me about about water."

"Water is part of all living things.", Cassidy said. "It quenches the thirst of those who need it. It helps plants live as well. And most creatures, like us, use it to clean ourselves."

"Very good.", Hydras said. "Now the bad."

"Well, if a creature can't swim, they can drown in the sea.", Cassidy said. "And the sea can be calm, like it is now, or deadly during a storm."

"Now, what is the other form of water?", Hydras asked.

"The other form of water is ice.", Cassidy answered. "Ice can cool off something hot and freeze water. If need be, a frozen thing of water can be walked on. But one can freeze to death if in the cold for to long. Which is why one must be careful in snowy areas."

"Where else does water come from?", Hydras questioned.

"Water can come from the sky.", Cassidy said. "Some call it rain, while others call it Sky Water. If it rains enough, it can cause a flood in some places. If it rains during a fire, it can put it out. If it's cold enough, rain becomes snow. And if it snows enough, it will become a blizzard."

"Very good, Cassidy!", Hydras said as they came to a clearing. "You've learned well, Cassidy. Now, it's time to show me what you can do with your powers."

"Okay!", Cassidy said as she walked out into the middle of the clearing.

"Now freeze that plant.", Hydras said as she pointed to a thing of bushes.

Cassidy then took a deep breath and blew a thing of icy breath at the thing of bushes. Within seconds, the bushes were covered in a block of ice.

"Very good, Cassidy!", Hydras said. "Now let's see you form a ball of water."

"No problem!", Cassidy said as she cupped her hands together. "One ball of water coming up!"

Cassidy then began to focus while looking at her hands. Before she knew it, she was gathering the moisture in the air into one spot. Once she was done, she had formed a nice size ball of water.

"See!", Cassidy said as she held the ball of water up for Hydras to see. "No problem!"

"Good work.", Hydras said proud of what Cassidy could do so far. "Now freeze the ball of water."

"Okay!", Cassidy said before she took a deep breath, ready to use her icy wind.

"Without using your ice breath.", Hydras said making Cassidy blow out normal air.

"But...", she began to say.

"No buts.", Hydras said. "I know you can make water hot by focusing on it. Now let's see you do it to freeze water."

"Aaaaaaaw!", Cassidy whined.

"Cassidy.", Hydras said in a stern yet kind voice.

"Fine!", Cassidy said as she looked down at the ball of water.

Cassidy then tried to focus on freezing the ball of water. She was able to freeze the outer layer of water, but couldn't freeze the rest.

"I can't freeze the rest!", Cassidy complained as she held up the almost frozen ball of water.

"You must learn to control your focus more, Cassidy.", Hydras said as she stood on her hind legs and formed a ball of water in her hands. "When you get better control of that..."

Hydras then focused her powers and made the ball of water freeze all the way through.

"You will have better control over your element.", Hydras said as she sat the large ball of ice on the ground.

"But why can't I just use my ice breath?", Cassidy questioned as she played around with the large ice ball Hydras made. "It's easier!"

"Because there will be times when you run out of ice breath.", Hydras said with a grin as she scooped up Cassidy and began tickling her making her laugh like she does every once and a while. "Then what will you do, my little one?"

As Hydras finished tickling Cassidy, she remembers how she was when she first tried to teach her about her powers. She was a bit stubborn at first, but soon took to it pretty well. Hydras truly cared for Cassidy as if she were her own daughter, but knew that someday soon, she would know the truth about herself. Even at this young age, Cassidy took to the water well. Hydras thought it would take a while for Cassidy to learn how to swim. But she learned within a few days and took to it like it was nothing. As for getting along with the other young water dragons, Hydras knew Cassidy wasn't having much luck. They all knew that Cassidy was half-human, which they saw as different. The only one to get along well with Cassidy was the young leviathan, Levi.

Levi was an orphan leviathan that Hydras took as her own, like she did with Cassidy. When Levi asked Hydras why Cassidy was so different, Hydras decided to tell him the truth like she did with the adult water dragons. At first she thought that Levi would treat Cassidy different. But he didn't. Seeing them get along so well made Hydras happy that Cassidy had a fellow water dragon to play with.

"Mother!", Cassidy says getting Hydras's attention.

"Yes, Cassidy?", Hydras questions.

"Did you really mean it when you told me that there were other dragons like me, that one day?", Cassidy questioned.

"Of course I did, Cassidy.", Hydras said. "Why do you ask?"

"Well, it's just that I know how the other water dragon feel about me.", Cassidy said in a sad tone. "Big brother is the only one that plays with me."

"My poor little Cassidy.", Hydras said as she looked down at Cassidy up and saw the sad look on her face. "The other dragons don't understand that you're different for a reason."

"They don't?", Cassidy questioned as a few tears ran down her face.

"No, they don't.", Hydras said as she smiled at her adopted daughter while dropping to all fours. "But know this. You have me and, your brother, Levi to give you all the love you'll need."

"I love you, mother.", Cassidy said as she walked up to Hydras and gave her a hug.

"And I love you, Cassidy.", Hydras said as she nuzzled Cassidy a little with her nose. "Now let us return to the beach."

"Okay!", Cassidy said as she followed behind Hydras on all fours.

"Walking on all fours again, I see.", Hydras said with a grin.

"Sorry.", Cassidy said as she stood up on her hind legs. "I know I have to walk on my hind legs more to make them stronger."

"True.", Hydras said. "But, I guess you can walk on all fours every once and a while."

"Are you sure?", Cassidy questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, Cassidy.", Hydras said. "I'm sure."

"All right!", Cassidy cheered as she dropped down to all fours and continued walking with Hydras. "I like walking like this!"

"Maybe so, but when you get older, you'll be walking on your hind legs more.", Hydras said. "It'll be like second nature to you."

"Really?", Cassidy questioned as they got closer to the beach.

"Why of course.", Hydras said. "Which is why it's important that you get use to walking on your hind legs early. Do you understand?"

"I think so.", Cassidy said as they walked onto the beach.

As they were walking onto the beach, Levi came flying up to them.

"Hi, mother! Hi, Cassidy!", Levi said as he landed in front of them.

"Welcome back, Levi.", Hydras said to her adopted son. "I take it you're here to play in the water with your sister."

"Yep!", Levi said. "You ready, sis?"

"Uh-huh!", Cassidy said smiling as she stripped off her tank-top and shorts, leaving her in her birthday suit. "Let's go!"

Levi then flapped his wings and followed behind Cassidy, who soon flapped her wings and flew along side Levi. Hydras watched as her two adopted children played together as they flew around and dove into the water. Hydras looked on as she took a rest on the beach. She was going to let Cassidy enjoy her time with her, Levi, and any of the other water dragons that may be friends with Cassidy. For she knew that when her human memories are unsealed, things would be different.

"Enjoy this happiness, Cassidy.", Hydras said in a worried tone. "For when your human memories return to you, you won't be the same."

Hydras then laid on the beach to get a quick nap. Back on Earth, one Susan Vandom stood at the door of the martial arts school that her boyfriend, John Vanders owned. Above the school was John's home that was a whole small, five story, apartment building. It's been a whole day sense Will transformed in front of her and told her about everything. From her and her friends being Guardians, to Matt being a Regent of Earth. And what happened to Angelo, Alchemy, Cassidy, Joel, Micheal, and their enemy Nerissa. At first, Susan didn't know what to think. Will is her daughter. And she knew Angelo since he was about five years old. She was upset about what happened to Angelo and the other children. And even more upset that Will went and let it happened. She still loved her daughter, but didn't know how to react to it all. So, she decided to come here to talk to John about it all.

"I just hope he's in a talking mood.", Susan said as she walked inside to the martial arts school. "Please let him be in a talking mood."

As she walked into the training area, she saw John putting away some of the equipment. John then looked up to see Susan walking towards him.

"Hey, Susan.", John said.

"Hey, John.", Susan said.

John then looked at Susan and saw the look on her face that told him one thing.

"You know, don't you?", John questioned. "Will told you everything, didn't she?"

"Yes.", Susan said. "It's a lot to take in."

"Try being a thirteen year old kid when your parents tell you about their adventures to other worlds.", John said. "It's something that'll change your life."

"I guess so.", Susam said with small grin.

"Did she tell you about Angelo?", John asked.

"Yeah.", Susan said sadly. "Is he really... you know... half-dragon?"

"Yeah.", John said. "When I saw him, I didn't want to believe it. But it's true."

"So, do you hate, Will?", Susan asked.

"Of course not!", John said. "It's just that I don't see why she and the girls couldn't let them keep their powers and let it be. Now Angelo is in another world with the other five being raised by dragons! And all of this could of been avoided if Will and the girls didn't have the Oracle try and take their powers from them! But what's done is done. All we have to do now is wait and see how it all turns out."

"I guess so.", Susan said. "So, what about us?"

"What do you mean?", John asked.

"Well, not to sound selfish or anything, but, does this change our relationship?", Susan questioned as she turned away from John as her eyes began to water. "I mean, I don't want to loe you. But, if you want nothing to do with me, I'll underst-"

Susan was cut off as John grabbed her arm and spun her around to face him and kissed her. Susan soon returned the kiss as they wrapped their arms around each other. As they pulled away from each other, John gently placed his right hand on the side of Susan's face and looked into her eyes.

"Never think I don't want to be with you, Susan.", John said as he smiled at her.

No words were said as they kissed again. For Susan now knew that John truly cared for her even after all that has happened. And they both hoped that when all was said and done, everything would work out in the end and be alright.

A/N: Well, I hope you liked a day in the life of Cassidy. It seems that even though her human memories are sealed away, she still has her love of swimming. And John and Susan's relationship is still strong after all that's happened. Which says a lot. Also, the reason why I have the Hybrids wearing clothes, well a tank-top and shorts, is because they're half-human. So, they still have certain human parts. If you know what I mean. But, when they go into water they take their clothes off so they won't get wet. I hope that explains things. Next up is a day in the life of Joel and Nerissa.

Please review.
