Katana and I were both sat cross legged from each other, candles lit around us, courtesy of Chato.
Five box's were sat in a line separating Katana and I.
"Make a sphere of water" Katana ordered.
"I cant" I said.
"Yes you can" she said, "you telling yourself you can't isn't helping".
I sighed "I cant" I repeated.
"Focus Jinx" croc ordered "close your eyes".
I closed my eyes.
"It's not that complicated" he said, then I felt cold.
"See, told ya" croc said.
I opened my eyes and saw Croc was flinging an empty bucket at me, but the next thing that I saw surprised me
Then I opened my eyes and saw an orb of water floating above my palm.
Katana gave a kurt nod.
I placed the orb in the first box and saw it still float.
"Good" Katana said.
After a few more hours I had made a sphere of air and a sphere of rock to go alongside my water sphere.
I wiped sweat off my forehead as I placed my sphere of fire in a box.
That one had taken the most work, and the most burns.
"Damn and I thought the pebbles being pelted at us hurt" croc said.
I rolled my eyes at the comment yet a smile was still able to curl on my lips.
"Well at least it's over" I said with a sigh.
"Not quite, there's one more box" Katana said.
I looked at the box's and sure enough the middle one was still empty, "what other element is there" I asked.
"Sphere of shadow" Katana ordered.
I breathed a sigh of relief, finally an easy one. I raised my right palm and waved my left hand above it, a sphere of black then appeared on my palm.
I looked up to Katana whom gave me a nod of approval.
I placed the dark sphere in the final box. What came next shocked me.
As soon as the sphere made it to the box all of the other spheres floated out of their designated box's.
"What the hell" I said, quickly scooting back.
As the sphere's rose they began to rapidly rotate and glow brightly.
Then my shadow sphere slowly began to float, and when it did so did I.
"Skylar" chato yelled.
I looked down at my hands and saw my veins fill with black, then my body began to burn as all of the sphere's came around me.
They all rotated around me first slowly then quickly, until I could see no more.
I felt the burns grow stronger, I saw blue hieroglyphs begin to glow and embroid on my skin.
Then a bright light appeared in my eyes.
I closed my eyes and reopened them only to find myself back in the fog filled place.
I shook my head "What the.." I trailed off.
Then I began to hear whispers.
"Who's there" I yelled out.
Then the fog slowly began to lift, and I saw the girl on the swing again.
Her back was still turned to me, she was still wearing a dress and her brown curls glistened in the moonlight.
For some reason nostalgia began to rush into me, and my heart quickened with every closer step I took to the girl.
Just as I was about to come in to contact with her, "Emily" a female voice yelled.
"Mama" the girl responded as she jumped off the swing.
"Emily, come inside it's getting dark mija." The woman spoke as she walked closer to the girl.
"But I wanna see the moon" the girl said "you said that the moon brought me to you, does that mean my mommy is the moon"
"Yes Emily the moon brought you to me. When I gave birth to you the moon was full and bright the brightest I had ever seen it" the woman said as she sat on the grass and looked up at the moon.
"When I held you in my arms for the first time I looked at the moon and I said 'que bonita Luna' and you giggled." She said tickling the girl lightly.
"So when the nurse asked your name your dad said Emily willow, then she asked for your middle name and I said Luna"
"Mami what happens when I die" the girl asked.
Her mother grew shocked "no digas eso mija"
"Do I go back to the moon, mami I don't wanna go back I don't wanna leave you" the girl began to cry.
"Shh, mija." The woman soothed as she embraced her daughter in a warm hug.
"Emily, look at the stars" the woman said and the girl looked up.
For the first time I witnessed the girls face. Her big brown eyes glistened with tears, and her lips lightly trembled, and her cheeks had turned rosy with the cold.
"You will not go back to the moon, you will become the bright moon. Lighting up the path for the lost"
"And your daddy and I will always be by your side, as twinkling stars" the woman said hugging her daughter tighter.
"When I become the moon princess, I promise to make you and daddy the brightest stars in the sky" the girl said with a giggle.
"Te quiero mucho Emily" the woman cooed.
"I love you too mami" the girl said.
A tear rolled down my cheek.
Then the loving picture before me faded away as smoke surrounded me again.
"You promised, and you forgot" a little voice whispered.
"I don't understand" I said clutching my head.
"You promised Emily".
I looked up and saw people surround me, all of them were faceless. Then a girl stepped closer to me, the same girl I saw just minutes ago.
"Who are you" I asked.
"You" she said simply.
