Once everyone was outside gathered around a concrete area, Peachie came to the middle along with the sensei. When everyone stopped their whispers, the sensei began.
"Now I want to make a water come together into a puddle ok?"
Peachie nodded and closed her eyes concentrating as hard as she could. She then clapped her hands together, and slowly a puddle began to form in front of her. She let out some air. She can do this.
"Next, I want a rose to come out from the puddle of water," Peachie did so using a little bit more strength. She hoped she wasn't getting tired and losing all her energy, she still needed to use seven more elements.
"Now, burn the rose," Peachie did so with a flick of her wrist. The rose burned quickly into ashes. Her next task was to blow away the ashes, she did so with what seemed like ease, but her energy was draining quickly, she didn't know how much more she could take.
Peachie looked down at the rose, a little flame still remained. She was told to freeze the fire, so she did.
The next four elements were to be done separately which took alot of egnery out of her. First she mad lightning come out of the sky, next, although is wasn't very strong, she made it seem lighter outside. She blushed, she knew it could have been better. Then she made a big wind come about, that made shivers go down people's spines. After that, she made the arena grow dark.
"Lastly, soul," said the great sensei, "Now, this is a bit tricky. I need you to raise the dead."
Peachie knew this wasn't the real reason for soul, but it was a good tester. Most elementers with the power of soul became shamans if they wished. There weren't very many because soul was a difficult and almost god defying element, it was a great responsibility.
She took a deep breath and clasped her hands together. She hummed and little tune Jeni had taught her. Even thought you were only given one element at a time, you had to study them all. This was a simple chant to raise the dead, although you needed soul to do it.
Suddenly a soul began to form, it was a small creature, with bright green eyes. It had long straight hair, with vines all wrapped around it. Peachie automatically knew what she summoned, a fearie. She did not know what to do, most people it took years to require this. Had she done the wrong chant? Had she made a mistake somewhere?
The great sensei just chuckled, "Well, looks like Peachie found herself a new companion. That is all for today, may you do great things, Peachie Depression."
The sensei walked off and started to talk to Taidan, although Peachie was not the type to eavesdrop on other people she couldn't help but hear him say, "Yep, she is the one."
Peachie's eye lit up was he talking about me. No, of course not, although she would believe it if it were so, today has just been on twist after another.
Later that day, Peachie decided to hang out with Xela and Mickey at the park. Peachie laid down on a bench and the other two sat right next to her. She began to tell them about Deyakou and how odd he was. She told them about how he brought up the supernatural.
"He's probably just a freak who thinks he can do magic," Mickey said, "Either that or he was just brining up a conversation."
Peachie shook her head, "He was so creepy though how he said it. I also got these vibes from him, ones I've never felt before.
Xela, sighed, "Maybe he was just nervous. He is a loner at school remember? You don't exactly seem like a person you can just walk up to."
Xela was right, Peachie always seemed to have this attitude that she knew wasn't there. People also judge her because she wore a lot of black outside her school uniform, which just happens to be blue and gray.
They laid there in silence, Peachie thought to herself. Maybe she had overreacted, she tends to do that a lot. Maybe he just brought up a conversation, but the book he was talking about, she needed to see it.
"He mentioned a book you guys. What do you think it says?"
The both shrugged and Xela suggested, "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"
Peachie nodded, why couldn't she stop thinking about it? What was is about Deyakou that was just so fascinating? All these questions ran through her head, she then just thought about what else happened today.
"Why do you think I have to control all the elements?" Peachie asked slowly getting up.
"I don't know, maybe the gods want something out of you?"
"What could I possibly do for the gods?" She laughed, "I know I'm not the brightest so obviously they don't want that out of me."
"Maybe it has to do with your new pet." Mickey suggested.
Peachie had not forgotten about the faerie, even thought she tried. She didn't know what to say to it, it's not like she talks to magical creature everyday. The only type of people she has ever interacted with is elementals and humans. So while in the dojo, the faerie just stood on Peachie's hand without saying a word. Finally it went home with Jeni so Peachie could clear her head.
"What do you suppose it eats?" Peachie asked.
"Well, if you read your book on magically creatures, you'd know it eats berries and nuts." Mickey said.
Peachie laughed, "It sounds like a bird."
Xela interrupted her laughter, "So are you going to keep it?"
"Well," Peachie answered, "I guess I have to, I brought into this world and now I have to take care of it." Although she couldn't even keep a gold fish for more than two days, how can she take care of a faerie?
Peachie looked at her clock, two o' clock exactly. She can't believe only three hours have passed since the café. She felt anxious, she wanted something to happen, anything. Maybe some answers, maybe a physical activity. She didn't know, she just wanted something to happen.
"Calm down, Peachie-san," Mickey looked up at Peachie. Mickey her knew Peachie all to well, it was like she could read her mind. It was just part of their bond.
"Lets go somewhere," Peachie said smiling.
"Ok," Mickey jumped up, "How about the internet café?"
Peachie shivered, what if he's there? How can she face him again? The thing is, she also wanted him to be there. He knew something, she could feel it.
