Henry: (Gasp).

I sat up and pulled out my phone to check what time it was, and I realized that I had been asleep for two days. I was stunned, I didn't know what to think.

Shallow: Are you all right?

Henry: Yeah, fortunately.

Shallow: Good, now we can talk.

Henry: Lemme guess, is it about...?

Shallow: Yes, you weren't completely in control of my power, if anything thing, you over did it, big time.

Henry: Well then, what do you suppose I do.

Shallow: Go outside, and try to construct your spirit sword, only then will you begin the process of learning how to use my power.

Henry: Alright, lets get started.

I went outside and slightly held out my hand.

Henry: So how do I summon my spirit sword.

Shallow: To put it in simple terms, in order to use my power, just say my name and whatever you can think of after that.

Henry: Ok, so like, Shallow Sword

A sword appeared in my hand.

Shallow: No, that's not your spirit sword, that's just a katana, try again.

?: Help!

Henry: Sounds like someone's in trouble, looks like summoning my spirit sword will have to wait. Shallow Speed.

I ran about five blocks in a second and listened for the sound

?: Hey, please help me! Ah!

Henry: No!

She had been shot in her left shoulder and fell over hitting her head on the ground. She wasn't moving and I quickly dashed over to her, picked her up, and ran back to my house. I laid her on the couch.

Henry: Hey Shallow, do you have any healing powers?

Shallow: Literally the first thing I told you was that you can do anything imaginable.

Henry: I'll take that as a yes.

Shallow: Just put your hands out in front of what you want to heal.

Henry: Ok, so, Shallow Heal.

An orange sphere of energy appeared around my hands. Her shoulder and forehead began to go back to normal. When she was fully healed, I sat down and waited for her to wake up. The minutes turned into hours and I thought to myself (I hope that she's ok). Just then, she quickly sat up.

?: (Gasp)

Henry: Whoa, calm down!

?: Who are you?!

Henry: My name is Henry Aurubin. I saved you from the people that were shooting at you. are you ok?

?: Yeah, and thanks.

Henry: um, I never got your name.

?: Oh, right, sorry about that. My name is Alexis Carter.

Henry: Right, i'll remember that, so why are you here in this area.

Alexis: I was looking for someone named Shallow, when I was attacked by people in black suits.

Henry: I was attacked by the same people two days ago.

I got up and sat next to Alexis.

Henry: And, I survived. You said that you were looking for Shallow right.

Alexis: Oh, uh, yes.

Henry: Shallow is inside of my body.

Alexis: I thought so.

Henry: What do you mean?

Alexis: Her name is Alena. (She said as she pointed to her chest)

Henry: Wait, do you mean...?

Alexis: Yes.

Henry: Then give me your hands and close your eyes.

Alexis: Huh, but why would I...?

Henry: Just trust me.

Alexis grabbed my hands and closed her eyes and I did the same.

Henry: Alright Shallow, transport us to that strange white world that you took me to before.

Shallow: If you say so.

Just then, we were both in that strange white world. This time, there were two figures there. An orange one, and a purple one.

Henry: Are you Alena?

Alena: Yes.

Henry: Cool, and Shallow, you need to explain to me why there are others like you.

Shallow: Hm, very well.
