"What do you mean, 'a very powerful magic'?" Al asked.

"Her magic capability surpasses even mine..." He paused as he tried to find the right words, "I didn't think that it was possible for such a small child to have this much power..."

As I looked at him with a confused look, my vision started to blur. Everything I saw turned double visioned and my head started to spin. None of my senses were working properly and I felt my body start to sway slowly. I heard someone say something, then everything went black.

~ Olivine's Dream ~

I wasn't in space like I was before. I was back in the forest that I once knew, but now... I knew what everything I once saw is. The bushes and leaves, the trunks on the sky-high trees, the strawberries and blackberries, and the soft green grass the cushioned me feet. This place felt so... safe, like I belonged here. But why would I feel this way?

"I told you that I'd return, Olivine..." The voice I once knew echoed from the trees.

'What happened? I was so magical, like a fairy or a nymph. My clothes changed and I felt so... alive. Then I just, blacked out...'

"You reacted with the magic in the rain water. That cool touch you felt, it felt like a drug to you, didn't it?"

'A drug? What's that?'

"It's an addictive substance that makes you feel good for a short time. It will cause you harm if you keep using it though..."

I looked around franticly for the source of the voice, I could hear it, but I can't see the person who was speaking it.

'Yes, the cool touch did feel good. So will I get hurt if I touch it again?'

"No, not right away. You can touch cold things, you just can't be exposed to them for a long time. If you are exposed, you'll..." The voice trailed off.

'What did you say?'

"..." The voice was gone.

'Hello? Where are you? What will happen? Hello?! Don't just leav--'

I was cut off by a burning feeling on my feet. The bright green, desolate forest turned into an angry amber fiery blaze. Leaves shriveled up and burned to a crisp before they feel to the ground. The ground became hot lava as I franticly ran to find a way out. Smoke swirled through the air and stringed my eyes, decreasing my eye sight.

After continuously telling myself not to panic, I found a way out. Although, I would rather be burned to death then have to do this. I came upon the River that I fell in once before, the same one with all the horrid screams and gory sounds. As I reached it, I stopped, knelt down beside it, and turned back. The fire was catching up to me, I would have no choice but to jump in. As I looked at the river once more, I gathered some courage, held my breath, and jumped in.

Without even the slightest warning, all the ignorant and execrable voices resounded in my head like a gong. The screams, the protests, the guns, the fights, the arguments... I heard it all. There was so much going on at once, I could only decipher the slightest bit I could retain.

"...Why?! Why does this have to happen?!..."

"...God... oh God!..."

"... The Twin Towers have fallen! I repeat! The twin towers ha--"

"Ahhhhhh!"

"Mama?!... Mama!"

"...you have to save her! She's only a child! Save my baby! P-please, someone! Any--"
