The Chancellor faced the river. He held out his arm with his palm facing the river. Katie saw the swift current slow to a stop. A large wave rose in the opposite direction of the tide and crashed down like an avalanche. The water violently splashed and tossed out. The Chancellor moved both his arms in opposite circular directions, his right arm over his left. The water quickly returned to the river and it continued on in its natural current as if nothing had happened.
“That was impressive,” said Katie after a few moments of stunned silence.
The Chancellor nodded. “I know.”
Katie laughed. She liked how young the Chancellor acted. His free spirit and youthfulness made it easy for her to get along with him.
For many hours the Chancellor had Katie attempt to move the water in any way, or produce it, but Katie felt like she didn’t have it in her. She got frustrated many times and wanted to give up, but Levi was resolute and refused to hear it.
It wasn’t until the sun started to set did Katie get anywhere. She sent a jet of water shooting upwards from the river.
“There we go,” said the Chancellor, quite pleased.
“Yeah, it was something, but it was basically useless,” sighed Katie. She was still annoyed at how long it took her to accomplish even that.
“It wasn’t useless,” said the Chancellor. “The purpose here is so that you can control these powers at your will.”
Katie sighed.
“Remember, the Dolphin of Alaysia is the entity that controls the water on this planet. She has allowed you to take command of that power. If you focus, you can tap into the source and use it at your will.”
Levi gave Katie a few moments of silence before having her continue.
It was a few more hours before Katie managed to do anything else. She was ready to walk away when she pulled up a ball of water of about twenty gallons. Excited, Katie looked over at Levi, who was smiling.
“Focus,” he said.
Katie looked back at the ball. She closed her hand into a fist and willed the water to turn into ice. It did. Katie opened her hand and the ice orb exploded into a thousand shards that then pelted down into the water.
“Very, very spectacular,” praised the Chancellor. “Quite magnificent, indeed!”
Katie laughed with the Chancellor. She attempted to do it again and succeeded. She drew out a thin sliver and lashed it out like a whip. Katie laughed and threw the stream of water back into the river.
Along with it, a flash of lightning bolted down, spreading out into the river before dying out.
Stunned, Katie looked over at Chancellor Levi.
“It seems as if we not only accomplished our mission for today but have moved you into the next phase,” Levi said. “You have tapped into your father’s ability.”
Katie was quite pleased with herself but couldn’t help but notice that there was a slight sadness in Levi’s eyes.
“Your father would be very proud of you,” said the Chancellor. “Let us get to him quickly so that you may show him.”
The Chancellor smiled and walked Katie back into the palace.
“Have some dinner,” he said when they got to the kitchens. “I see that it is fitting to be celebratory! After all, you seem to be quite a natural!”
Katie smiled and thanked the Chancellor. Levi nodded and left. Tyson and Koran were not around, so she figured they were still hard at training.
Katie finished eating and went to her room to take a long shower. When she was done and had just put on a fresh pair of clothes, she heard a knock on her door.
“Come in!” she called out.
The door opened with Tyson who walked in slowly. He glanced up at her and closed the door quietly behind him.
“Hey Tyson,” she said. “How did your training go?”
He shrugged. “It was pretty good. I learned a lot, but I have a ways to go. Koran was pretty amazing actually.”
Katie didn’t say anything.
“I mean, I guess it’s just part of who he is,” said Tyson. “He’s been doing this a lot longer than I have.”
“Yeah, he has,” Katie replied. “But I’m sure you’ll get it well soon enough.”
“How was your training?” Tyson asked.
Katie sighed and smiled. “At first, it was exhausting and one of the most frustrating things I’ve ever done. But in the end, I got the hang of it.”
As to prove what she was saying, Katie reached out and grabbed a stream of water from the faucet in the bathroom. She wove it around Tyson and put it down the drain.
“Nice!” Tyson shouted. He laughed. “That’s really awesome.”
“Thanks,” said Katie, her chuckle dying down.
Tyson looked down, sighed, and look at Katie. “I am sorry about how I was acting earlier. On top of all that was happening, I was also getting jealous of Koran.”
Katie smiled and moved her hair back. She moved closer to Tyson. “You were?”
Tyson laughed. “Just a little,” he said.
He kissed her and she kissed him back. They found that they didn’t want to stop. Tyson helped Katie remove the clothes that she had just put on. He loosened her bra just before she took off his shirt. Tyson gently laid Katie onto the bed. He pulled off her panties. Katie waited on the bed and watched Tyson as he took off his pants and the rest of his clothes at the foot of her bed.
Tyson climbed onto the bed and leaned over Katie. They smiled at each other.
“I love you,” Katie told him. Tyson kissed her in reply.
“I
