章 26: 26.Powers

After dinner, they went out. The sunset was truly dreamy. But that was not the reason why they went out. Teatind opened her arms and slowly the energy of sunset flew into her body.

"This is how we gather energy. The sunrise and sunset give most light energy. We can convert it into multiple powers. Now children, try."

Children did the same, turned to the sunset opened arms, but only the two girls could gather the solar energy.

The dragon boy and little girl tried but nothing happened. Alcazar smiled.

"Don't worry, we will wait till night comes. You two are indeed special. You are probably able to gather the energy of the universe. But as you are still beginning you can only do it in the night at the moment. Finally, after so many years children are born with universe energy. I am so proud of you." he said while hugging them. The two girls didn't get jealous. After all its family.

They had to prepare for the Naming Ceremony. Alcazar turns to the other side of the mountain. There he changed into a dragon and started ancient incantations. He called for elders with his booming voice.

The children are still small so he couldn't use that voice direct next to them. It would hurt their power pearls that were located near their heart. In the worst case, the pearls would burst and they could die.

When he came back last specks of sun lit the water in golden colors as the rainbow colors prevailed and then the night descended.

Little girl fascinated with that. She did see before sunset but on the sea, it is a different feeling.

Teatind called her to come to her. She needs to help her collect the energy. And as this child is not dragon she needs to explain something that dragon just do without thinking.

''Come in front of me,''she said and put the child straight in front of her. She started explaining.

''All beings have something we dragons call energy pearl. We are not sure how the humans call the energy but it doesn't matter. There is light energy of the sun and stars and there is dark energy of the universe itself. Dark doesn't mean you are a bad person. It just means that you are stronger. Now you two are little but you will have to learn how to gather and control your energy till your great age of 20. If you learn it properly you will be able to gather all energy, including light energy from the sun and the stars.''she said while explaining it slowly to all of them.

''Now. Come let me show you how to gather energy. Open your hands, spread the brightly like you want to hug the sky.''she said while carefully spreading girls hands wide.

The boy opened his arms and closed eyes and suddenly started gathering energy. The little girl stood there and looked as wave after wave of the energy rushed into the boy's body. She slowly closed her eyes and tried to concentrate.

She could feel specks of energy surrounding her body. She tried to gather her thoughts and gather it in the body but there was something like a barrier that stopped her to do that. She looked at Teatind and shook her head.

''I can feel the energy around me, but it seems like something in me doesn't let me gather it. There is something that is stopping it.''she was sad about not being able to do it.

''Don't be sad. It took my brother years to learn it. He didn't have initial powers as well, so on the end one day they just started working. Don't worry.''she said trying to cheer her up.

''Mother I know how to help her.''said boy as he came nearer. Teatind looked at him surprised.

''You have a way?''she asked.

''Yes. Let me try.''He took the little girl into his arms. He walked a bit further away and looked at his mother.''Please don't stop us. If this works out he will be able to gather her own energy without help after tonight.''

He turned the little girl to himself and hugged her. Then he started to transfer his own energy to her.

Teatind and Alcazar never saw such thing before, so they were worried about the two children.

After a while, his body seemed to be lacking energy.

''Mother, father, my sisters can you transfer energy to me as you saw now. Touch my arms and send your energy slowly into my arms.''He said while stopping to give the energy to the little girl.

Teatind slowly gathered some energy and slowly tried to give to her son. He shook his head.

''Just gather energy on your hand I will take it alone. You can't give me energy as you think. It's hard to explain...''he sighed, but Teatind did it as he asked.

A small ball of energy stood on her hand. He gathered his energy and connected with hers. Then he just used the energy and transferred it inside the little girl's body.

Alcazar did same and both again transferred the energy into the girl's body. Then he let her go.

The little girl started shining in all kind of colors like a little star. She opened her eyes and smiled.

''Now I know. It seems my pearl is strange. It needed dark and light energy in same time to start turning.''she said looking at the boy.

''The pearl is not turning,''said Alcazar confused.

''It seems the pearl is just vessel for energy. What I feel in her is not pearl. She has the energy in her whole body like she is the pearl herself. Before I gave her some of the universe energy there was something like a pool of water. But when I entered the energy the pool turned into dark fire. That is the reason I wanted to try light energy as well so it turned into the strange mix that doesn't wanna blend into each other.''he said while looking at the girl.

''These two energies are now everywhere in me,''she said while making a ball of power in her hand.

''This is impossible. How can this be? I never heard anyone having both energies.''said Alcazar as he got more and more unsure how to handle this. It seems they will stay awake tonight and look through the scrolls. Maybe there is some answer.

''Try gathering energy from the moon, stars and universe.''said the boy while opening his arms to replenish the energy that he gave to her. She looked at his posture a did the same.

''Now can you feel the energy in you flowing around?''

''Yes''

''Then tell me do you feel any energy outside your body?''

''I feel so many different ones. Which one should I choose?''

Now it was his turn to get stunned. He looked at his parents with a loss, he has no idea what else is there. He can feel only light and darkness. Teatind came and patted his head.

''She is right. There are many. You will feel them later on. She is a very special child so she feels it now.''

She went to the little girl and hugged her.

''Hug me,''she told her. The little girl hugged Teatind and opened eyes in question.

''Close your eyes. And feel the energy in my body,''she said while gave off specks of her own light energy. The little girl closed eyes and saw herself inside a huge storm. But outside storm, there is calmness and light. She used the light in the storm to connect to that light and let it enter the stormy sea.

''Now let me go and find some energy from outside,''said Teatind while slowly spreading her arms so she can gather as much energy with her body as she could.

She went back to Alcazar and felt dizzy. It seems in those few moments the girl was connected to her, she got so much energy from her body that she felt faint. Alcazar looked at her in worry and then a little girl.

Teatind belonged to one of the oldest lines of dragons. He energy reserve would last her for hundreds of years of fight. But on end, the little girl in a matter of seconds almost didn't dry her out. She is indeed powerful. And to control that power she will need to learn so much. It seems it was their destiny to become her guardians.

Teatind and Alcazar are one of the last guardians of dragon scrolls and secrets. But it seems even with their knowledge nothing is certain. Learning never ends.

The little girl stood there and saw slowly specks a different kind of energies. But soon she found the same energy as Teatind gave her. She gathered some of the energy from inside her sea storm and sent threads of it outside to capture those energies.

What the dragon family saw was a small child standing in mid of billions of small treads swirling around her body. The light around her became thicker and thicker and she slowly became a small star.

''Now gather it inside of your body.''yelled the boy.

It seems she heard him. Inside the big sea storm, the girls pulled the threads one by one inside her body and releasing it in a sea storm. Soon all the energy from outside was in her.

''Now gather universe energy. The one I gave you,''he spoke loud but calm as he was afraid that she would get frightened.

The girl saw that light got into the sea of storms and was too strong. It seems that she really needs the other energy to suppress it. She slowly looked at the energy that flowed like liquid silver through her body but was slowly getting suppressed. She did the same she used the dreads and gathered so much of the energy of the universe into her. She did it for a longer time as the evening just arrived.

Inside the stormy sea, it seemed things started getting calmer. She opened her eyes and looked at people around her that had loving gazes at her. She needs to become quite strong to protect them. They are her family.

''How long may I gather?''she asked. She didn't know how long she is given to do this.

''As long you need to feel full.''Said, Alcazar.

''Is this only way to gather the energy. My arms hurt and my legs as well. Can I not gather sitting or sleeping?''she asked while thinking it would be great if she didn't have to do this way.

Alcazar looked at her. Humans usually gather energy sitting. Their physical constitution is weak so they can't stand so long standing like dragons.

''Of course, you can. Try sitting. I heard humans can't stand long so they choose that method but it's not as filling as with standing and open arms.''he said while thinking about giving the child something to sit on. But his son was faster. He was already there with hands filled with cushions he could find.

He let the little girl sit comfortably and then sat next to her and tried to see is it possible for him to gather energy as well. But it seems it's the same. He opened eyes and looked at his father.

''It same for me. It is not hard to stand but this is indeed more comfortable,''he said while sitting even more comfortable on cushions and closed eyes to start getting more energy. He needs to become strong to be able to protect his family and bride.

Alcazar and treating looked at each other and went in. They had two children that gather universe energy it is fine to gather how they like it. Is it sitting or standing it doesn't matter.

The girls saw the two people sitting next to each other and felt happy for them. Dragons don't have the feeling of greed or envy. If someone is stronger then them they feel happy for that person. So did these two girls feel as well. Happiness for them.

The two figures sat there whole night connecting to energies that surrounded them. The light breeze flows over and played with a strand of hair from a little girl. The boy opened eyes and struck the hair slowly behind her ear. Then he closed again his eyes and continued. He is only one who can touch her without that his energy is sucked out. He opened again his eyes and had a slight smile looking at her. Then his face shown a look of determination and closed his eyes. I need to become much much stronger and protect her. She is mine...
