The cold wind blew through Li Na's hair as she and her brothers stood out on the dock. Li Na tucked her hair inside of the maroon Supreme sweatshirt, to keep herself warm. The sun was barely out, peaking its self over the tall trees. It was the weekend and her brothers dragged her out at the crack of dawn. She could have been doing much better things than this, like staying in her warm bed.

The temperatures were dropping as the winter came closer. The wind chill was making Li Na's nose turn pink. Tucking her fingers into the sleeves, shoving them into the pocket to get warm. Li Na's brothers were also affected by the cold weather, all in heavy jackets. They all paced back and forth on the deck, trying to keep themselves warm.

"So what are we doing?" Li Na asked as she crossed her arms, not liking the cold. "Li Na, I want you to try and focus on the water. Make it a continuous flow of water" Ju Long said as he pointed to the water with a gloved hand. Li Na stared out into the water, concentrating on it until she felt the power within her. She willed the water to flow towards the sky. At first, the water moved slowly than it flowed at a steady pace. It reached towards the sky.

"Now make it ice and turn it back to the water" Ju Long instructed. Li Na followed his instructions, picturing how it would look in her mind. Watching before her eyes as she made the water into ice and again. Trying to test her strength, Li Na pictured the flow of water to move in a circle around the family. The water did so as she watched it in concentration.

"So does that mean you guys can do this too?" Li Na asked as she allowed the water to retract into the body of water. "Oh little sister, there is so much you don't know" Ming Hua laughed as his hand made a motion and there was ice sitting in his palms. Li Na's eyes widened as she saw her brother make ice out of thin air. "No way, you're like Elsa from Disney" Li Na joked as she stared at her brother. He smirked at her before throwing the ice at her. The two sticking their tongues out at each other.

"What else?" Li Na asked her other brothers as she waited to see their water abilities. "Let's see what the weather will be like," Ju Long said as the clouds began to roll dark into the water area. Seconds ago it was a light overcast, now a black cloud sat over the house. The crack of the lightning bolt struck a tree off to the side of the house. The tree that it struck split in half. "So you have the ability to change the weather?" Li Na asked as she looked back to the burnt tree. "Something like that" Ju Long smiled as he shrugged his shoulders. The clouds rolled out until it was back to what it was before.

"Okay now two to go" Li Na looked at the two oldest brothers. "It's my turn," Wang Yong said as he stepped forward. Placing his arms in front of his chest, position himself like he would push someone. His hands shot forward and a blast of energy went into the water. The hit of the energy made the water turn choppy as waves crashed into each other. Li Na stood confused as to what her brother had done. "I can take the energy from water and use it to make anything" Wang Yong explained to his confused sister. Li Na nodded her head in understanding.
