Water

Chapter 4

Then, I realized that she was crying too. I suddenly heard her small voice whispering, "It's okay." She paused taking a deep breath. "It's going to be okay."

I was surprised to hear her voice, and after about thirty seconds of this, the sun got very bright, and I'm standing next to Elizabeth in a meadow of grass. This was the same place I had seen uh, Andriana. I looked ahead to see Andriana standing there in the same attire, her emerald dress, and I, in the elegant blue dress that seemed to wave in the wind. Elizabeth though, was just in the same clothes.

Andriana now looked at us, "Oh, I was not expecting  you, too." She said, talkking about Elizabeth.

She spoke with such authority in her voice, that I was intrigued to listening. "You two are in the world of Euphoros. Hello I'm Andriana. At the ages of seventeen and fourteen, you greatly lack experience and knowledge concerning Euphoros."

"Why do I need to know about Ur-o-fus?" Elizabeth asked saying the name horribly.

She smiled and said, "Well, you already know about this place, and there's no point in trying to make you forget."

"Wait, you can make people forget stuff?" I inquired.

She shook her head and said, "No, but we have our techniques. Anyways, Europhos has been around for longer than Earth, and is named after happiness, and to not waste any more time, I will share the most important information with you both."

I was still overwhelmed by all of this information, but listened intently. "Lillian, your father, Helius, along with me, was a leader of Euphoros. The reason to his contribution and ability in leading Euphoros, alike myself, was because of the control he had over nature."

She paused, allowing us to process this, and then continued, "The power he had, was that he could control water with his hands. He could maneuver the shapes, and the physical forms of water, such as turning it to ice or vapor."

My mouth gaped open as I heard these words, and then she progressed, "Lillian, you too, can wield these powers once you reach the age of eighteen."

I started to feel a little sick. I looked deep into her eyes in disbelief. "So then, what are your powers?" I asked, doubtful she could come up with an answer.

She simply said, "I can grow plants and can control the ground they grow in. We all are aware of what happens within our boundaries of expertise. There is also a reason there has been such a rapid flood."

I wished for the answer sooner, but she stopped as if thinking of the right words to say. "Helius was killed protecting Euphoros, and the power you inherited from him greatly increased. You must find a way to control this, over the years." I was speechless, and seriously felt like fainting.

"Yet, you are too young to have fully developed these powers. When your element seems uncontrollable, you must stay calm and access your inner identity to gain authority over your already strengthened abilities. Only once you have entirely mastered this, will you assist in guiding Euphoros."

I was shutter-shocked at all of this, and then I no longer felt weak, but realized that this was all serious. "And when might that happen?"

Andriana laughed. She had a sense of humor?  "Don't worry, that will take many years."

Elizabeth spoke, I forgot about her, "What am I supposed to do?"

"Elizabeth, my dear, you are to support Lillian and accompany her till you have reached the Tower of Tanasia. I can tell you both are already good friends. And Elias too. Oh, and Lillian?"
