An hour later, rain poured down in cascading waves over the mid-Texas hill country. Amber watched from the porch as Rai stood in the driveway under the downpour and somehow remained dry. He was giving a "demonstration" of his abilities. As he put it, he could make the wind blow just by thinking about it. Subtle blue waves flowed around him, and Amber could see them clearly when she was near him. From what Rai said, he could see something similar when he looked at her. As he described it, her skin looked like it had been dusted with golden glitter. The entire conversation was making her uncomfortable. "It's not natural," she said again. "How do you know this isn't something evil?"

"I don't know why this happened or where these powers came from. I have a lot of theories, but nothing more than wild guesses," Rai answered as he stepped back onto the porch to join her. "But I'm a big believer in the idea that 'evil is as evil does.'"

"You're trying to be funny again, but I'm serious," Amber retorted.

"So am I," Rai countered. "Look, you can use a hammer to break things or to build things. The hammer isn't good or evil, but the person using it sure can be. So far, what have you done with your powers?"

"I did something to the ground," Amber said thoughtfully. "Then, I moved a really heavy dumpster."

"To save a trapped cat," Rai finished. "Yes, very sinister."

"Mocking my concerns is not helping," Amber griped.

"Okay, okay. Let's talk about the ground thing. I don't know anything about soil or planting, but even I can tell this is a farmer's dream dirt," Rai said. "This started when you found an oil slick?"

"Yeah, it was under our old tractor."

"Tell me what you did." Rai leaned against the railing and folded his arms.

"I didn't do anything!" Amber said defensively.

"Don't get excited," Rai said soothingly. "Just try and remember what happened. Walk me through it step by step."

"Fine." Amber frowned and thought carefully. "I was out walking the property—"

"Is that something you do a lot?"

"Almost every day," She nodded and continued. "I noticed the oil under the tractor when I was walking by." Amber frowned at that. "No, that's not quite right." Rai raised a curious eyebrow but said nothing as she recalled the events of a few nights ago. "I felt sick, kind of queasy, and I touched the oil."

"You felt sick before or after you touched the oil?" Rai asked.

"Both," Amber said with certainty. "I felt a little queasy before I touched the oil. But I almost barfed after I put my finger in the goop."

"Okay, that's something." Rai bobbed his head.

"Great! What does it mean?" Amber asked hopefully.

"I'm not sure," he answered after a moment, and Amber glowered.

"This isn't helping!" she complained.

"Give me a chance," Rai said, making a placating gesture with his hands. "I've been working with my own abilities for a few months now, but it's not like I have an instruction manual or anything.
