Chapter 5: Gaining control

"Are you ready to try again, Jack?" the white haired boy gave a hesitant nod. "Focus on the energy within you. Feel its flow and let it build up before you finally release it." Jack frowned in concentration as he did what the wind told him. A little bit of a cold fog seemed form in his palms steadily becoming more and more solid. Just as it was about to turn solid it burst into small cloud of snow, Jack groaned in annoyance at yet another failed attempt to give his power form.

It had been a few months since his powers awakened and it was now in the middle of his Christmas vacation, but so far, the only thing he managed to learn was making a small cloud of snow. No matter how hard he tried to do anything else it just seemed to explode in his face. "You have to believe, Jack. Don't let your doubts and 'what if's' cloud your mind. Your belief is the source of you power, you must learn this or your power will no longer be within your control." "I'm trying!" he whined at the wind.

"Let's end your training for today", "what? Why? We barely even started!" Jack almost yelled at the wind. "We need to work on your belief and trust in your power before we can continue this training. Without it, it will be impossible." Jack gave the wind an annoyed expression before nodding and went inside to play with his sister for a while to relief the tension.

Once Jack closed the door behind him, he let out a frustrated sigh. He couldn't help but feel an enormous pressure after the wind explained everything to him a few months ago. He still had a hard time believing it. As if it wasn't enough to be blind and teased because of it by everyone in school. No, he had to have freakish powers too.

3 months ago.

"Jack there is something I need to tell you." Jack was still freaked by the sudden appearance of the ice that he didn't hear the wind's words. The wind tried to comfort the boy by circling around him gently stroking his hair, after a few minutes he had calmed considerably. It was then the wind spoke again "There is something I need to tell you, Jack" Jack who was still really freaked out seemed to finally snap out of it enough to hear the words of the wind.

"I-it is… It is about what just happened, isn't it?" he said his voice still shaking from the shock. "Yes!" but before the wind got a change to continue, the blind boy suddenly stood up, yelling at the wind "What happened? One moment there was nothing there then all of a sudden there was ice! There is no way that is natural!" he calmed down a bit, his face paling "was it… was it me?" the wind became quiet not able to find its words "wasn't it?" Jack yelled at the wind desperate for answers.

"You were born with powers you weren't supposed to possess, at least not as you are now." Jack wanted to know what the wind had meant with those words, but the wind continued before he even had a chance to ask. "I've waited for you to be born for a very long time, since the last spirit of winter chose to fade away 300 years ago. The other spirit of the seasons, Mother Nature and I have since then searched for a new to take his place, but to no avail, until I found you.

Your very presence radiated an echo of winter, an echo only we would be able to hear, but for some reason none of us could explain, your powers where already obtained by your mortal birth, lying dormant within you. Until now! You aren't ready to wield this tremendous power, forces of winter. We had little choice but to reseal them, but no seal is strong enough to contain such forces and should not be. You need to learn to control it, without putting anyone at risk while doing so. I'll be your teacher and guide until you take your rightful place among the other spirits of the seasons, where you belong."

Jack let out yet another sigh. Did he really have no say in this decision on him becoming a spirit? He decided not to dwell on it after all he preferred to have fun. A smirk appeared on his lips as he then started to navigate through his own dark little world, searching for his sister. It was time for a prank.

A/N: Sorry for the rather short chapter. anyways regarding the flashback of the wind's explaination, I will elaborate it later in the story. too much explaination in one chapter can be rather heavy and wont leave much room for you to start wondering and imagine things on your own.
