Two old friends

Althea looked at her surroundings. Her team exited the dome cautiously. They seemed hesitant to walk up to her. They had known her for some time, but the devastation of the landscape left them in shock. 

They looked at Cella, Althea's long-time friend. She was the one who rushed them to hide inside the dome. 

Cella, seeing their expression sighed. 

"I don't know how to explain. There are times when she displays such destructive power. She did once we were little."

Cella paused. Her expression dropped. Memories of her childhood resurfaced, paining her deeply. Visuals of one particular incident sent shivers through her spine. 

"She trained so hard to prevent losing control over her powers. According to the Commander, if she let her power run wild, even he might fail to stop her."
