"This is the place to set a trap- I can feel that our mystery beast has been here recently." Aurora told me in a bossy voice. I looked down at the turbulent stream and tentatively raised my mace. I had tried to control the water in the creek near my village, on the outskirts of the Forest of Tranquillity. This water was completely different.

It doesn't matter- tell them you can't and they can send you home and find someone better. Why would they miss you? I told myself as the current failed to respond to my rythmic swing of the mace and chain.

Then, a little voice rose up inside me- a voice that I had been holding back for years. THIS matters. You finally have friends. Something finally matters…

I raised my hands, and suddenly could feel every molecule of water on the mountain. A raw, wild feeling bubbled up inside me, and I felt my feet leave the ground. As a pale blue light shone from my skin, I said in a voice that was not my own,

"FOG."

The fog rose silently over the land.


Kai

Fog rolled over the land in a white blanket. In less than a minute, we were standing in pearly twilight. I growled- everyone was reaching their full potential before me! I clutched the Dragon Sword of Fire and willed it to become hotter. The flames cleared a circle around me in the fog.

Suddenly, a smoky grey tail lashed out of the mist and smashed into my chest, sending me sprawling across the mountainside. Tamara flared out her fans and blasted away a ring of fog around her, but with a sibilant hiss, the cloud swirled back in around her. I saw eyes peering out of the mist, but I was too winded to make much of a sound.


Tamara

I could feel the fog roiling towards me. Kai grunted, but when I sent out a current of air to sense what was wrong, my winds were muffled by the water droplets in the air.

What do I need? I need to SEE.

I searched deep within my soul. Who am I truly?

Zane cried out, and I could hear metal buckling. The Nunchuks of Lightning crackled, the hum of Jay's trademark weapons drowned out by the bellowing of the fog beast.

I am Tamara.

"Get down!" Charlotte called. "We're fighting blind!" Cole yelled, somewhere in the fog behind me.

I do not need my sight. I am the Blind Ninja.

A massive wave of silver wind energy roared out in all directions as the darkness cleared from my eyes. I floated in blinding sunlight, with th elast wisps of fog fading away. In front of me stood the pale grey bulk of the Fog Serpent. The creature was the size of a house, with damp scales, fins, and reptilian eyes. Wisps of pearly fog trickled beneath it's fangs. It seemed confused, or perhaps afraid. I can... see? Behind me, the shapes of my friends were beginning to stir. Then I landed back on the ground and was blind once more.
