3 Chapter 3:HOW?

I stood there, contemplating what I would do next. There was nobody around me, it was empty. There is a sudden whisper in the wind, the sky turns tar-black and I hear the pitter-patter of rain. I fell to my knees, and layed down on the ground. I let the calmness and coldness take control of my body.

I find peace in the rain.

I don't know if it's the way it sounds,smells or feels, but its the one thing that I needed right now.

* * *

I wake up to the sensation of someone poking and grabbing at me. I slowly open my eyes, the brightness of all 3 suns blinds me.it takes me a few seconds to regain my vision, but from squinted eyes I manage to see two kids scavenging my pockets looking for drak. I reach into my pockets and find two coins. They reeked of trash and their clothes were ripped apart, i startled them when they noticed I had woken up. I reached my hand out.

"Here take this,I'm sorry I don't have more."I said to both of them. In a slight whisper they responded, " Thank you." the two kids took the drak from my hand and disappeared into the crowd.WAIT crowd,I must have fallen asleep. Around me was the usual, little stands trying to make money to support themselves.

I started walking,and walking and walking. But I got nowhere,of course I ended up getting hungry but I had no drak.

I ended up going to a nearby restaurant, and just sitting at the table for warmth. I couldn't do anything,I felt so useless.

"CRAP" I said accidently slamming my fits on the table. Everyone in the tavern turned to face me.

"Well there goes me going unnoticed."I whispered

''I would like to buy a drink for the lady."Yelled somebody from the back of the crowd to the bartender.

The mysterious voice made its way to the front to reveal a man in a black cloak covering his face.

"I'm not here for a drink."The whole tavern gasped and turned toward me once again.

"WHAT" And then I heard it I was speaking in native tongue, I didn't even know what it was I just know I understood it.

"OUT! WE DON'T NEED PEOPLE LIKE YOU HERE." the bartender yelled and motioned me to the door.

"Ok i'm sorry. I'll be on my way." I whispered

I walked out of the warmth of the tavern and into the cold of the night. I walked for at least 10 minutes before realizing I was being followed. I stayed calm and continued walking. I viewed my surroundings, there was nothing around me but grass. It went on for miles. What do I have to lose.I turn to face him.

"What do you want from me?" I yelled "I won't go down without a fight!"

IT was the man from the tavern, the mon in the back cloak

"I'm not here to fight you." he said "I just want to talk"

He started to walk slowly toward me. Out of reflex I sent a decent-size icicle flying toward him.

He saw it and brought up a wall of fire between him and me.

"What is that?" I murmured.

"Stop fighting, I just want to talk."

"NO I can't trust you nor anyone else" I belted as I shot a burst of flames aimed for his head.

But he brought a stone wall up to deflect it. Who is this guy?How is he controlling the elements?

Suddenly I feel myself get paralyzed, I look down and there is water surrounding and suffocating me like a snake. I feel somebody in front of me, I quickly snap my head up and there he is. He puts a hand on my face and memories come flooding back to me. He was my childhood friend.

I gasped in shock

" Yuri." I whispered.

"Yes." He whispered back

He released me from the grasp of his water snake thingamajigger. And gave me a hug.

"I've waited so long for your arrival." He said as he removed his hood, he changed so much since he was a little kid. He has blueish greyish skin instead of red, he used to have long white hair, now he has short black hair and the bluest eyes I have ever seen. Of course he got taller and muscular. He wearing all black, black sleeveless shirt with a black chest plate and black pants. He has a sword and a bow.

" OMG YURI YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT."I yelled in amazement

" Well, i can say the same for you."He looked me up and down.

" oh stop it. You finally developed your powers for a Genasi."

OMG he got so old...I remember when he was just a angry blur fur-ball. Then again I remember when I was human
