Fiona took a moment to digest the information Morrighan had given her. She always knew her mother was different, especially with the visions that she had. But she had no idea that her mother was this powerful. From studying, she knew that bottled up energy could be a dangerous thing.

The teen looked to the goddess. "How do I find out what powers I have?"

Grey-green eyes twinkled with anticipation. "We test you."

Fi looked wary. "Test me? How?" The goddess smiled and waved her hand. The room around them disappeared. They reappeared on a bluff overlooking an ocean. The sun cast a warmth on Fiona that coupled itself with a tugging. She closed her eyes, trying to pinpoint the feeling.

Morrighan studied Fiona. "What is it?"

"I don't know…" She opened her eyes. "I feel like my mom is here…like she's close." Fiona finally took a look around. "Where are we?"

"The Spirit World." Fiona felt a tightness in her chest. "She's not dead, but she is here. Damon brought her here." Morrighan tilted her head. "Can you feel anyone else?"

Fiona closed her eyes once more. A breeze flitted across the bluff, bringing an aroma of the sea and lotus flowers. "Daddy," she whispered softly. Her eyes snapped open. "He's here too."

Morrighan smiled. "Good. Now I want you to focus on your brother. Can you tell me what he's doing right now?"

Brown eyes closed once more. "He's...he's searching...for me." Fiona turned to the goddess. "He's afraid that he's lost me and mom like he lost daddy." She tilted her head in thought. "How can I know this stuff?"

"It's called Cross-Dimensional Awareness. You can sense other people who you are connected to. If you learn to control it well enough, it could grow and you'd be able to transport yourself to that person in an instant," Morrighan explained.

The teen's eyes twinkled in delight. "That's so cool. How long would it take to develop that?"

"A long time. You must practice your ability so you can use it at any given time. The power could save lives." Fiona nodded. "I want you to focus on your mother. Don't let any other thought intrude. Tell me what it is that is happening."

Fi took a deep breath. "She's in a room...like a bedroom."

Morrighan nodded. "That's good. Can you tell me what she's feeling? Or what she's thinking?"

"Sadness...anger...guilt...why would she feel guilt?" Fiona muttered to herself. She had a faraway look in her eyes. Her eyes narrowed, like she was trying to hone in on small object. 'Why is this happening again? Am I poison? What is it about me that makes the people I love leave? I got him killed when he was alive and now he's off somewhere, hurt and in pain because of me again. Maybe I should just let Damon take my magic, it would make everyone else's lives so much easier...' Fiona heard her mother's thoughts.

"It wouldn't be easier without you..." she whispered.

Her mother turned sharply to her. "Fi?" Fiona gasped and snapped out of her trance.

"What happened?" Morrighan asked, laying a hand on the teen's shoulder.

Fiona turned to the goddess. "She heard me...my mom heard me talk to her. She turned to me."

The goddess smiled. "Your powers are already expanding. That's a very good thing."

"A good thing? It's a good thing that I can hear what my mother is thinking? That I can hear her think about how she is the reason that my father is dead, that she feels like she's poison because everybody she has ever loved has left her? That things would be better if she didn't have her magic?" Anger and sadness coursed through her body.

The tree she was standing next to began to shake, before becoming uprooted and flying in the opposite direction. Fiona jumped in astonishment. "Telekinesis..." the goddess mused to herself.

Fi looked to the broken tree that lay in the distance and then back at Morrighan. "I, I didn't even try that..."

"That is why you must learn to control them. Once they are controled, then you can go to Damon and defeat him." The teen nodded. Morrighan waved her hand and a medium-sized crystal appeared in it. "I want you to focus on this. Try and lift if from my hand. Make it float."

Fiona stared intently at the crystal, focusing on it lifting from Morrighan's palm. The crystal began to shake, moving only a small portion. She sighed. "It's okay, practicing will make you better at it. Don't stress over it. Just clear your head."

"That's the problem. Clearing my head doesn't work," Fiona commented.

"Then think of something else, like strength. Not necessarily as a physical aspect, but as someone who gives you strength."

Fiona sighed once more and concentrated on the crystal. 'Someone who gives me strength. My mother. She is strength. She is strong.' The crystal moved out of Morrighan's palm, hovering above it for a moment before floating to Fiona's open hand. She smiled at the goddess.

"You did it. You found your strength." Morrighan smiled at the girl. "Are you ready to try something bigger?" Fiona nodded. The goddess waved her hand once more and a girl around Fi's age appeared. "This is Fallon. I want you to spar with her. Try to disarm her."

The teen stared at the new girl. "How am I supposed to disarm her? She doesn't have anything that could harm me."

A mysterious look crossed the goddess's face. "Never let your oppnent know what you have." Fiona was confused at what Morrighan had meant by that, but had turned back to Fallon.

Fallon was tall, with dark hair and eyes. She grinned at Fiona, a smile that unnerved the witch. "Ready?" Reluctantly Fiona nodded. Fallon quickly threw out her hand and a bolt of green light flew towards the witch. Fiona's eyes went wide and she quickly ducked. "Come on, witch, use your powers." Fallon ran towards Fiona and held her hand out once more. Another bolt of green light shot itself towards Fiona. This time Fiona stared at the bolt and concentrated on it. It quickly stopped itself and flew back towards Fallon.

Fallon smirked and ducked the bolt. She continued to run at the witch. Fiona quickly moved out of Fallon's path and held her hand out, intending on telekinetically throwing the girl. Fallon stopped suddenly and grabbed her head. She sank to her knees and cried out in pain. Fiona swiftly pulled her hand back and stared at it in shock. Once the pain had subsided, Fallon stood shakily. "What the hell was that?" She asked Morrighan.

Morrighan had a look that mirrored Fi's on her face. "Psionic blast…" Both girls stared at her. "It's a very rare power, one that is only ever found in a witch every thousand years or so. The last O'Sianhan to have that power was Arraya…that was 947…It is a power that is very strong and can easily drain the witch with the power."

Fiona nodded and sat down on the ground feeling tired suddenly. Fallon walked over to Fiona. "You have some kick ass powers, girl."

The witch smiled tiredly. "Thanks, yours is pretty cool too." She thought for a moment. "How did you get your powers? Are you a witch too?"

Fallon shook her head. "No, actually…I'm a demi-goddess. Morrighan is my mother. My father was mortal."

Fi's eyes lit up. "She's your mother?" Fallon nodded. "That's pretty cool."

Fallon shook her head. "Not as cool as Molly Phillips being your mom. I've always wanted to meet her." Both girls giggled.

"I wish I could get to my mom now," Fiona sighed. "I just have this feeling that she's in trouble…like Damon is going to come back after her really soon, ya know?"

Fallon nodded. "I think I know how you can get to her now. You have Cross-Dimensional Awareness, right?" The teen nodded. "And I'm going to assume my mother told you that it can develop into a form of transportation. If you concentrate really hard on a person that you want to see, you can make yourself go there. Just close your eyes and think of your mom. The bond that you two share is strong and will help you reach her. If you get stuck, just call for me and I'll help you."

Fiona smiled and hugged Fallon. "Thank you so much!"

The demi-goddess hugged her back tightly. "Good luck, Fi," she whispered. Fallon pulled back from the hug and watched as Fiona closed her eyes.

The witch took a deep breath and focused on the room she saw her mother in. "Mom…I'm coming to get you…" she said softly into the ocean breeze before being transported in a swirl of lavender lights.
