”Hey, Emma!” Jack was yelling after our four year old daughter. She was again playing with forest animals. This time it was a graceful looking deer. She was giggling when the deer licked her face. “Sorry daddy! I just like furry animals,” she came to us smiling her bright and warm smile.

She is a natural talent when it comes to animals or nature. She talks with animals like Jack can talk to wind and as I see people’s souls that ache. Her abilities don’t end in her being an animal whisperer, she actually feels the nature that surrounds her. She knows when a tree needs time to rest when winter is closing in, by one single touch she makes the tree sleep whole winter. “Emma, make the deer stop!” Jackie had been following us from behind and it seemed that as soon as Emma left the deer its attention went to Jackie. Our 8 year old was being pushed around by deer, both Emma and Jack bursted into laughter.

“It is just a deer Jackie,” I turned around and smiled to Jackie. “Mom! It is pushing me!” He was holding his hands in front of him as the deer made a friendly gesture by pushing its head against him. Emma giggled and went to his brother, gently she pet the deer and then whispered something to it. Soon the deer hopped deeper in the forest and left us.

“Dad!” Jackie was shouting to Jack who was flying now few meters further. Soon he got to us and landed in front of Jackie. “What is it kiddo?” Jack asked warmly and messed Jackie’s hair. “Dad! Not my hair again!” Jackie was first a bit frustrated before he actually exclaimed the thing he had to say. “I want to fly too!”

Jack chuckled and nodded to him. They were now flying towards the pond in the forest. Me and Emma made our way by walking. Jack wanted to surprise the children with skating. Yeah, the weirdest part is that it is June. He wants to freeze the pond so we could skate.

As we arrived to the middle of the forest and the pond I saw Jack making some ice skates to him and Jackie. Soon Jack froze the pond’s surface and they started skating. It was fun to look at since they both knew how to do it – with wind power. Emma and I watched their stunts and how they had fun for a while.

Suddenly Emma went near the pond and I thought that she wanted to skate also. However her hand went over the ice and it glow warmly while I saw that the ice started to melt. “Watch out!” Was the only thing I was able to shout to my life’s two of most important people. Ice was cracking and both Jack and Jackie stop skating.

Next images were like flashes when I saw Jack quickly using his staff throwing Jackie out from the ice. It was like a replay from the time when he saved his sister except now it was his son. The ice melted away and Jack fell to water and his head went beneath the water’s surface. “Jack!” I yelled in panic.

Jackie was sitting on the pond’s edge still wearing his skates. He was looking at the spot where Jack had just disappeared from sight. My right hand went on my mouth while I watched the sight on terror. Seconds felt like ages and Emma was pulling my dress. “Where did daddy go?”

Suddenly I saw a hand splashing on the water’s surface. Then a staff was coming out of the water. For my relief Jack came to surface while gasping for air. It was like the water almost exploded when he used his wind power to blast him out from the water’s embrace. He was dripping water when he landed to us, Jackie had broken his skates and run to him. Immediately he hugged his dad. I was still trying to swallow the lumps from my throat and tried not to cry even though it would be now from joy to see him alright.

Jack hugged Jackie back for a while but then his face turned from a smile to a more serious one. He looked at Emma and seemed upset. “Emma,” Jack started, “don’t ever do anything like that again. Someone might have got really hurt.” This I was agreeing silently since the situation was really dangerous. Jack went under water and what if that would have happened to Jackie. He is still mortal so..no, I can’t think it further.
