Chapter 2: Space
Space.
It flows with time
But to a degree.
It is our environment
The dimensions that separate us.
It is a form
Whether it is a person, place, or thing.
It is a force, moving from one point to the next
Until it reaches a breaking point.
Whoever controls it
Controls their immediate surroundings
Able to move faster than light
Or can move one object to another point instantly.
"Teacher", shouts Edward from outside, dragging out his call. Izumi runs outside to see that everything and everyone in the next yard and across the street are levitating. Cats and dogs in the neighbors' yards are flipping slowly while levitating off of the ground. Izumi and Edward look in horror at the phenomenon before them, both unable to comprehend what exactly is going on.
Izumi and Edward walk through the yard, looking at hovering rocks and cars, even the children next door are caught by the mysterious power resonating in the area. Izumi kneels down to Edward's level and puts her hands on Edward's shoulders.
"Ed, I need you to concentrate. You have to bring them back to the ground. Do you understand?"
"I don't know if I can", says an unsure Edward.
"You have to try, Edward."
Ed closes his eyes, thinking hard, focusing upon the immediate environment. The cars come down, then the pets and the rocks and finally the children. The children run over to Izumi's yard, speaking directly to Edward.
"That was cool! Can you do that again", asks a boy.
"I think that's enough for today", says Izumi.
Edward watches as the other kids run away from the yard, pretending that they can fly. Izumi turns her attention back to Edward and sees uncertainty in his face, a feeling of worry. Izumi turns Ed's face toward hers, looking into his gold eyes and then hugs him.
"It's okay, Ed. You have nothing to fear."
