CHAPTER TWO-

Disclaimer: Okay, if I owned any of the characters, do you- wait. I DO own the charcters. Go me!

Crystal followed Alaeo down the hallway he led her through. Once they reached a small, bare room, he turned to face her.
"Crystal, this is very important. You need to know this or there will be huge issues in your future. Ask Ralinde." He said quickly.
Crystal gasped. She suddenly saw her old mentor Ralinde in the corner, at first not seen by Crystal.
The older elf looked at her kindly. Her long blonde hair and blue eyes both glistened in the light. Once, Ralinde had been broken by the deaths of her best friends, but something had happened to her along the way that had changed her. She now was a very good weapons master, though not nearly as good as Crystal.
"Crystal, this is necessary, as Alaeo said." She said gravely. "You have the ability not many elves have. In fact, your mother was the first elf to have these powers. Something that happened to her. We aren't sure. But you are stronger in that." Ralinde continued. "You also have more powers than most people." She apparently had finished because she now became silent.
Ralinde did, however, walk over to a chalkboard that Crystal had also not noticed. Crystal made a silent note to herself to pay more attention.
Making marks on the board, she spoke as she drew.
"ForeSight." A mark. "Healing." Another. She continued this way. "Spirituality, which can only be used in the most dire of situation. Element control. Those are the only known ones."
Alaeo spoke up now. "Crystal, what she's getting to is that you could be the most powerful elf ever to be born. Physically that is. You could wipe out an entire army channeling these powers...if you do it right."
Crystal frowned. This was too weird. Having powers? Most powerful elf? Hardly.
"I don't think so." Crystal said. "Could you prove it?" She asked.
Ralinde nodded as if she had expected this. "Hold out your hand." Crystal did. "Think of an element. You know, earth, air, fire-"
Crystal cut her off. "I know what they are." Ralinde nodded again.
"Think of one, and think of it in detail. Okay? Now count to three. One, two, three!"
Crystal gasped. On her fingertip a tiny flame danced from finger to finger.
Ralinde smiled. "See? That was easy." Crystal nodded.
"Now," Ralinde continued, "you need to rest. This will be very trying for the next few days, and you need to sleep. See you in the morning!"

A/N: I know that was dysfunctional. sorry. I did steal ideas from Robert Jordan, but his ideas are too good to leave. Hope ya like!
