Over the next few days, Ariel trained Hallie further, helping her control her magic and learn to let it out without causing destruction. On the third day, they went to a field nearby so Hallie could work on casting larger spells. Ariel and Hallie stood in the middle of the field while Sean and Brayden sat on the edge.

Ariel squeezed Hallie’s hands as she looked at her. “Alright, I want you to focus on controlling waves of light. You have the ability to release light, but I want you to be able to manage it. Focus on everything you’ve learned and give it a try.”

Hallie took a few steps away and looked across the empty field, frightened about doing this. Gradually she hadn’t needed to concentrate so hard when using her magic; it was slow, but using her powers had started to become more natural, so the intense focus she needed initially gave way to instinct. She still used the same principles, but it was becoming more like second nature instead of a huge chore. But waves of light… She’d created a wave of light the day she’d hurt the other children. It wasn’t something she imagined she’d want to do on purpose.

“Hallie?” Ariel said.

“I’m going to do it, just give me another moment,” she said. She sighed, took a few more steps away, and then held out her arms. She quivered slightly, memories of all the times light had poured out of her haunting her. She didn’t want to do this. She really didn’t, but she gritted her teeth, focused on letting her power out but controlling it at the same time, and released a silver wave of light. It didn’t storm out of her, didn’t completely take over, but instead was a calm glow going across the field before disappearing. Hallie looked at Ariel sadly, pleased she’d done it but upset it had taken her this long.

“That was very good,” Ariel said. “Now I want you to try something else. Please consider it before you say no. I want you to try to control the weather.”

“No!” Hallie exclaimed. “No, no, no! I’ll never, ever do that again! And you can’t make me!”

“Hallie, tapping into nature is part of who we are. If you don’t learn to control it, it could control you. Please, listen to me….”

But Hallie shook her head. “You don’t understand. You haven’t been through something like I went through. You said your magic came out when you were upset, but I nearly killed people, Ariel! I don’t want to tap into nature and I’m not trying it. You don’t know what it’s like to cast such a destructive spell.”

Ariel looked at her sadly, then nodded. “You’re right, I don’t know what it’s like. I can’t pretend to understand the trauma of what happened. I’m so sorry you went through that, Hallie. I really am. But, to be honest, I think I did cast a destructive spell at one stage. I just don’t remember it.”

Hallie looked at her in confusion, and Ariel carefully sat down on the ground, motioning for her to join her.
