Chapter three: New found powers
Sereena woke up. Had it all been a dream or had the goddess Sun really given her powers the night before. She still felt as if she was normal. She opened her eyes and looked around. It hadn't been a dream. It was all there, the huge gold pillars, the four poster bed, even the crystal chandeliers. She got out of bed and got dressed. She walked into the great hall where breakfast was on the table. "Good morning!" A cheery voice came from across the room. " Unggggh," she replied to X-anna who was already sitting at the table. "Hello", it was the beautiful voice of the water goddess. "Won't you have some breakfast?" "Yeah, I suppose". The others at the table were already eating. She sat next to Ursula the, Earth one wasn't it? Sun sat down at the head of the table. "Today we shall go through some training", she said. The teenagers looked at her blankly. "We have training areas sufficient for all of your powers. We must go outside now and start, you have much to learn." "Earth will take Ursula, Water can take Sereena, Air can take Zalia and Fire can take X-anna. #
Ursula followed earth outside. She looked around and saw that it just looked like a normal garden, trees, flowers and grass. " Right", Earth said, " lets get started." She walked over to a tree and leaned against it. " Make a hill". "What?" Ursula said confused. " How?" "Just try". Ursula looked at a patch of ground, convinced that this wasn't going to work. " I don-" she started to say before she was cut off. The lump of ground she was looking at had grown, gotten bigger to form.A hill. " How did I?" She looked again at the lump in the ground and then back at Earth. " Whoa", she said in wonderment. "You must learn to control your powers", said Earth. "Eventually you will be able to decide how and when you use them". Ursula looked at the hill again and it went down again. She looked at some flowers and thought about what she could do with them. After a minute they started to grow. "See", said Earth, " your getting the hang of this". Ursula was starting to have fun, she looked at a tree and it burst into flowers, she looked at a patch of drying dead grass and it became green. She wondered if the rest were all having as much fun as she was.

Sereena looked at the pool in front of her. " Go ahead, jump in", said water. Sereena jumped into the pool. She knew she was in water and she knew she was wet but somehow here clothes were still dry. Water must have seen her puzzled look because she said, " it's part of the power. Another part is being able to breathe underwater." Sereena's head disappeared as she tried out her new power. A while later her head appeared again with a smile on it. "That was so cool", she said. She swam up and down in the pool enjoying the feel of the water. She smiled and looked at water " What else can I do?" "Oh you have a lot more you can do". Sereena went underwater again. The pool started to bubble. Then a huge spurt of water erupted from the pool and left Sereena standing at the bottom of a whirlpool. "Oops", she said with an innocent grin on her face. She looked down and a huge swell of water lifted her to the side of the pool. She laughed and jumped on to the ground. "I love this power", she said. She looked at the water and wondered if the others powers were as amazing as hers. #
Zalia looked at the cloud underneath her feet. " Jump off", said Air. " You will not get hurt". "Are you insane!" she snapped back. " Look at how far down that is". " Alright", said Air. " I understand. If you want you can just jump on the spot and you will keep going". Zalia jumped. She didn't come down again. She looked down to see that she was hovering. She looked up and she went up. She looked left and she went left. " I can fly!" she yelled excitedly. "And that's not all", said Air. " Try moving the clouds". Zalia looked at a cloud. Then pointed at another spot in the air. The cloud moved across the sky to the place where she had pointed. She looked at a place in the sky and then a huge gust of wind came out of nowhere and swept her back to the cloud. She jumped from cloud to cloud. Then she molded the clouds to make a giant cloud duck. Air laughed. Zalia laughed and said, " it's just what came into my head". Then she made a giant pineapple in the air. She thought about what the others were doing. #
X-anna looked at the ground. "I thought this was supposed to be a training area", she said. " It is," replied Fire. " Well if I have the fire power where's all the fire". "You must summon it" sad Fire calmly. X-anna felt stupid but closed her eyes and thought hard about fire, she looked down, in her hand was a great ball of fire. "Wow, but how is it not burning me?" She asked, her eyes filled with excitement. Fire laughed then answered her "You are controlling it, you are the fire ball, think of that". X-anna nodded and asked "What now?" "You can do anything, your powers are limitless, you just need a good imagination". Fire held up a hand and a ball of fire surrounded X-anna. "Walk through the fire, it cannot hurt you, trust me" Her voice was calm and X-anna began to walk through. As she walked she thought to herself, this is amazing, I have powers and I am walking through fire! Then as she walked out of the wall of fire, the Fire goddess disturbed her thoughts. "Amazing, you were magnificent!" X-anna glowed with pride but said "I didn't do a thing but walk, it was nothing" "oh but it was, I could have never done that on my first day, you trust your power, that is great".
