I was hit with a wave of knowledge, and it was like I was learning about something completely new. The way I had been using the power was stupid and wasteful. On top of that, I had been only using the Gates for their power and that was it.
I opened my eyes and looked into Rena's dark brown ones and smiled.
"Did you do it? I can't feel anything; did the Gates not work?" Rena asked, squeezing my hands.
"No, it worked. Come, let me carry you up," I said, standing and pulling Rena up with me.
"But I can't feel anything?"
"Let's just say I haven't been playing with a full deck of cards. I just learned a bunch of important things about my power that I didn't know, like this," I said, scooping Rena up into my arms.
