🍂~ Attempt ~🍂

''How is your elemental power, Moki?'' Wu asks.

''It's doing great, i guess. My energy is still recovering.'' I reply.

''I heard you went into that Cloud. Is that true?'' He demands.

''Yes, and i am aware that it was an enormous risk, but.. I don't know, i guess i was so fixated on catching Onyx that i didn't think this through correctly.'' I respond.

''Did you feel anything while you were in there?'' He quizzes, rubbing his long white beard.

''Actually, i felt like i had a sudden boost of energy. I felt stronger.'' I affirm, looking at my hands.

''Interesting...'' He whispers to himself. I gaze back at him. ''It seems like you could be connected to the Cloud.''

''Do you think i could be able to manipulate it?'' I ask. He frowns in doubt.

''I don't know, this procedure could be dangerous for you.'' He answers. ''Onyx is the cause why the Cloud appeared. Maybe if you destroy it, the fog would disappear with Onyx. But it probably isn't the best time.''

''Then when is the best time?'' I frown at him.

''Not now, that's for sure. We don't know if it will even work.'' The sage man returns.

''Yes, but it is at least worth a try.'' I retort.

He sighs and exits the room. I stand there, head down, and with closed fists. I look up and walk out of the spot. I make my way near the safety fences and gaze down. I raise my right arm and open my hand. Which gets covered by a purple flame. I try to concentrate, but i easily keep getting distracted by the other's conversation.

''Seriously, the ninjas couldn't even stop this.'' A strong male voice says.

''To be honest, the Purple one isn't even useful. She's just a burden to all the other ones, and does she really think she is actually different from her father?'' This time, a high-pitched female voice joins.

I let the words sink in and look down.

''You get your emotions easily take advantage of you. How pathetic.'' A familiar static voice whispers. I immediately knew what was happening.

I glare quickly back at my hand. The flame was now black, as black as the Cloud, but i couldn't control it. I bounce and shake my arm in panic. The flame dissolves quickly. I notice my hands shaking. No, no, no! Don't listen to those stupid words, Moki. They weren't even real. Calm yourself down.

''Woah, are you alright? Your hands are shaking.'' I hear Cole's comforting voice talk to me. I gaze at him for a short time and suddenly hug him.

''Easy there, take a deep breath.'' He softly mutters, wrapping his arms around me. And with that, i did what he said.

''I-I tried to manipulate the Cloud to slow down its spreading, but my attempt failed.'' I add, sounding shaky.

''It's okay, you tried cupcake. You should go rest.'' He continues.

''Please stay with me. I don't want to be alone.'' I soflty insist.

''Of course, i'll stay with you.'' He comforts, giving me a bright smile.

''Thank you.'' Is all i could let out. We let go of the hug but hold hands. He walks to my room with me, following his actions, staying near him. I lay down on my bed, gazing at him, and he looked nervous. ''Are you okay?''

''Huhh-.. Do i-... huuuh.. i-.'' He stutters, his cheeks becoming a bright red.

''Depends, if you're okay with it or not.'' I reply, knowing what was bugging him.
