Okay, now that that's over let's get on with the story.

"I have to do this." Tris said determinedly. Whether she was trying to convince

herself or her friends she was not quite sure of. Tris faced her teacher and said, "Niko,

I'll need some of your magic please." Niko looked disturbed but Tris could feel his

magic pouring into her. A sudden feeling of excitement and fear rushed through her.

She settled into a meditating state and felt herself float away from her body. She was up

in the sky, floating on the winds that she loved, watching the approaching storm.

Thinking about how she was going to stop the storm she had and idea. Reaching out with

her magic, she sensed for storms around her. There! She found a long chain of storms

reaching out across Emelan. She called them to her and pushed them against the

approaching storm. Steadily but slowly the big storm started to move away. Suddenly

her concentration was broken. There was an army under that storm. With a jolt Tris

entered her body again and found Briar worriedly leaning over her. When she opened her

eyes he jumped back muttering something about feelings. Suddenly fatigue washed over

her and she slumped against the chimney and fell into a deep sleep.

Ok my readers. You see the little bluish purple button over there? It's so you can

REVIEW. (Hint hint.) Please please please review and tell me what you think of it so far

and whether I'm a completely horrible writer or not. Do you think it should be, Tris and

Briar or somebody else? ( I have no idea who, but please review)
