I slowly open my eyes and see dots in my vision and shake my head making them go away. My brother and Jake are sitting on the wall of the cave and I am laying on a bearskin I can still smell the distinct metallic of blood and slowly get up and stretch walking over to the boys who are out cold leaning on each other. I slowly lay between them and cuddle into Coda and fall back to sleep feeling drained of all my energy.
I wake up a few hours later due to feeling Jake move and startle slightly which wakes up Coda causing him to growl and go on defense. I laugh and he growls at me more and tackles me and we start roughhousing and fighting. We roll around and I accidentally run into Jake he joins the fight with us and we all get tired and lay there laughing. I stand and stretch my arm above my head and walk outside.
I inhale at the scene that is there it is just a circle of ashes and black soot everywhere within a thirty-mile radius. I stand there frozen and Coda stumbles out rubbing his eyes and yawning he looks at me. He exhales looking down," I should have told you when you first shifted we are not a basic shifter family we are called a royal breed." I look at him confused and he wraps his arm around my shoulder and kisses the top of my head. Jake walks out with a grim look on his face and looks at me," Your breed has a special ability to bend the universe's elementals." I look at him and look back to the ashes and bend down on my knees and touch the ground that is stained in black.
I rub the ashes and smear the soot between my pads turning them black and my eyes start to feel blurry. Coda puts his hand on my shoulder," You have to calm down sis. your eyes are starting to shift." I take a deep breath and my vision comes back slowly but I'm still feeling the soot on my fingers," So my element is fire then, or was this you?" Coda looks at me and smirks," Nah this was fully you little Pyro." I go to ruffle his hair but he stands up taller so that I can't reach him. I exhale and sit on the ground and close my eyes," Well ... then teach me how to use my elements, boys."
They look at each other then back at me with a look of disappointment, " Sis we can't teach you... you have to figure out your power on your own." I look surprised at them and worried. " W...What if I hurt someone?" They both smile slightly and bear hug me saying 'I'm gonna be okay.' I still worry since we are sitting in the middle of a circle that I had burned into the ground only moments ago. The boys lift me up and we go back into the cave and I lay on the furs while they go out to hunt for dinner. I fall asleep before they get back and the dream has changed again.
