Chapter 3 - Chapter One: Powers

Rara reached the planet's surface first, followed closely by Kinntho, but Lage hung back.

"I'm frightened," She admitted.

Rara grabbed her by the ankle and pulled her down. 

The three began to walk the planet's surface. Dust swirled in the air all around them. Rara and Kinntho kept a steady pace but Lage lagged behind touching the ground with her bare hands.

"Hurry up!" Rara snapped.

"It's crying," She said, turning to Rara, "You walk too hard."

"We were sent to rule this planet, and I will walk as I please," Rara replied hotly. One of her hands began to glow.

All three stopped to watch it. 

Rara's face twisted with rage and excitement, she punched down at the ground and it rippled with heat. She punched again and again.

"Stop! Stop! You're hurting it!" Lage cried out. And just like her sister, she began to glow too. She knelt to the ground brushing her hands back and forth. 

Rara stopped to watch her and the sisters watched in amazement as green plants began to bloom. 

Lage sighed in relief.

"We are here to heal, not to break!" She wept, "That's what Father wanted."

Kinntho could sense Rara's rage brewing again. She didn't feel like getting into a fight.

Walking away from her two sisters Kinntho sighed, so far she was the only one who couldn't do anything useful! Rara could use her anger and Lage her compassion, but what did Kinntho have?

She closed her eyes, ignoring her two sisters. Faintly she heard something like music. She followed it, feeling like she was in a dream. When she opened her eyes she was at a ridge. But something was different about it. It felt crusty and dry.

Kinntho put her hands on the ground and to her great surprise water poured out of them. She smiled brightly.

She let her powers flow and that's when it came to her, creativity!

"Kinntho," Lage called, "Come over here I want to try something."

Kinntho left what she decided to call a pond and returned to Lage's plants.

"Pour some of your water onto them," Lage said.

Kinntho focused, but instead of a drizzle, she caused a jet. The tiny plants were torn apart.

Lage broke out in tears at the sight, "You're both too hard! This world is wounded!"

Kinntho opened her mouth to apologize but Rara interrupted her.

"Shut up," Rara flicked her hair, "Just make some more of them Lage! Come on Kinntho let's keep going."

Kinntho looked between Lage and Rara, she put her head down and followed Rara.

Lage stayed knelt on the ground holding her broken plants. Tears ran down her face in streams.

"We should bring her with us," Kinntho said.

"She'll come, once she stops crying," Rara snickered, "Besides we have work to do."

Kinntho glanced behind them but didn't stop.

Lage would come back. She couldn't survive on her own.
