That morning waking up. I was fast and agile to the kitchen to get some breakfast. I happily ate and then brought food to Damian in hopes he would get ready faster. He does not seem all to excited about this. He was dressed out of bed and ready to go when I made it back to the room. "You ready to meet the nymphs?" He sighed rolling his eyes."I still do not see why it is necessary I sing and dance." I smile."if you really don't want to I will do the singing and dancing. But you won't have much of their trust. They put faith in me to not bring someone who would harm them." He rolls his eyes."I know, I know..." there's always his phrase.'faith is a belief based on the absence of data, it invites disaster.' I hope they aren't frightened by him. I grab his hand dragging him to the water."you ready?" He nods. I sigh I hope this goes as planned."


Well mostly as planned. I start off dancing and singing and none of the nymphs show up. I keep dancing till I realize they're probably frightened by him. I mean he's not the most approachable person. I signal for him to start dancing. Wow...how does he know how...Nevermind he's Damian I'm sure he'll say.'im proficient in every type of dance. I was groomed for perfection.' As we dance I notice the nymphs coming out. They look so happy. We dance together. I have me and Damian break away a little so they'll se he isn't a threat. When I get him back it's almost the end of the song. When we finish. We all walk out into the water. Damian looks startled I smirk at the opertunity to laugh at him."What, is water not supposed to do that?" I say a giggle pressing past my lips. When we sit down, the girls drag me to them and he scowls off to the side."tt" I smile as they ask."who's that.""is he nice""is he your 'special' friend" "will he be nice?" I chuckle. When I grab damians hand he looks back at us."This is Damian, he is my boyfriend, and he's  nice." They all giggle. And we spend time chatting. One brings up the thing I have been avoiding."So Umbra when will you start practicing?" I smile uneasy."I don't know." I feel damians gaze I avoid the confusion from him"Start what beloved?" I look down and stare at the beautiful water."Her training of course. 1/4 goddess and 1/4 fair folk gives her some stuff to practice." I feel his gaze harden."oh."    Thank you for not making a scene. Thank you for not making a scene. Thank you for not making a scene. Thank you so much for not making a scene. I say as relief flushes through my face. His face says."we'll talk about this later though." I give a small smile to the nymphs. Damian screws me over."Why doesn't she start now?" I freeze. Oh dear god.  No....no....nonononono. Say you have something else planned and you have to-"Of course!!!" I sigh. Deflated I say."ok." They cheer. Then we decide I'll start with controlling the element of water. Oh goodie. This will be great. They tell me I should start by making water. " think about all the particulars in the air. See the molecules come together. One by one growing and growing and growing. Remember your surroundings. And go slow. This will be tiring. Eventually you'll be able to move all the water around you, and form ice and water vapor. As well as build objects from the water, but this will take practice." I nod. I try again I imagine the water forming together and moving into a circle. Then I imagine being able to see through to the back where the land is...or was that the horizon. I mix it up and then I hear gasps. My eyes shoot open."what?" I see one of the nymphs point to my water ball. It's the land but behind it is the horizon..."Does water usually do that?" I ask they shake their heads. I nod."Did I do that?" They shrug."I don't know..." I nod "well let's see if I can do it again." I drop the water ball and try to form another. This time I imagine the water and damians face behind it. There are gasps and I know I've done it."So...what does this mean?" They look between each other."we don't know." They all stand and do the things they do before leaving."hey what's wrong?" One stops and looks at me."we're going to go ask around for you meet back here in a month. Until then goodbye." I nod."oh...ok bye safe journey." They start to leave. And I imagine the water me and Damian are on holding strong . I open my eyes still minor concentration. I imagine that the path in front of me and Damian is the same as that below my feet."Com'on Damian." I turn and stands to follow. I imagine and keep walking, when my feet hit sand my concentration stops I jump and look up I hear the water crash. I look back and Damian is soaked."sorry...I didn't...sorry." He sighs standing."I'm going to go change." I nod and he walks away. I sit and concentrate on the water. I concentrate for I don't know how long but my mind begins to wander. I think back to when I was young. When I was alone. When I didn't have the nymphs. I think back to when I was so scared. I remember I had just gotten in so much trouble. They realized I tought myself to read. Based off of when they'd read bills and I would listen. Then I figured out how to read myself and they were livid. They called me stupid and out of place. I remember how I got up after my small miniature beating. And ran from the house. I heard yelling and feared they were coming after me this time. So I did the reasonable thing and got as quiet as I could and crawled into a small area under some roots and up through into the tree. There is no way to find me unless you are directly looking. I slept little that night. But the next day I invested the area more and found this place full of stuff to read. It was wonderful. It was an escape from the pain. A free card from the suffering. It was my will to keep going through everything. And it did long enough for me to meet Damian. I think to when I meet Damian. A lot of what he said and did makes sense of what I've learned of him now. I remember the moment I though I was going to succeed. And I feel a hand on my shoulder. I jump."I was called in for a short mission apologizes Habibti." I nod and smile. Glad I kept the water up for so long. I look back to see it still up. It's just not showing anything. I look back to Damian. "Hey... can I try something?" He furrows his eyebrows and sits down."only because o trust you." I nod."I'm not sure if or what this will do but I want you to think of a memory." He nods. I grab his hand and focus on the water and Damian. Soon I realize that what is happening in the water is not my thoughts but Damian's. I see him fighting a beautiful woman. I see this temple and fighters synchronized. I see him going to bed and being woken in the middle of the night. Fighters...or well assassins attacking him. I see him kill all of them and then I see how he sits there and dully cleans his wounds. No emotion. It looks depressing. I don't even know what's happening until I notice Damian's hand is no longer in mine. I snap my eyes open he looks upset. My concentration snaps and I jump up."I'm sorry. I didn't know. I...I...Damian...I didn't mean to-." I stop and He stares for a second before scoffing and walking away. He's upset with me. He walked away. He walked off, alone...I'm alone...he left...I'm alone again...I'm alone...I'm alone...I stare to the water. I'm alone...I don't want to be alone. I don't like it. It hurts to be left alone. I feel something land on my hand. I look down..."water." I touch my face. No...tears. I feel the tears in my eye. The sand on my hands rubbing on my skin causing a minor pain. I'm crying because I'm alone. I'm pathetic. I feel more tears falling. Damian probably doesn't want me to bother him. I stand up. Who can I ask for help...Alex. I whip out my phone. Dialing her number I stand up."Alex...I was wounded if if you wanted to hang out." I curse myself for sounding so frail. I sound like I've been crying. There's a pause in the other side."Sure!" She responds loudly."Is something wrong? Where do you want to meet? What do you want to do? How much time do you have? Did Damian hurt you...because if he did I will kill him." How did I end up with this amazing friend. She stops."sorry if I'm being a lot." I giggle."you're alright. How bout we meet at the pier. I just want to talk. And no Damian didn't hurt me...I think I hurt him. There's something I want to show you." I hear an"ok" and the phone call ends. I walk to the water imaging it's solid again. I walk across it till I'm at the pier. Slowly I climb up the steps and sit down, staring at the water I decide to make the bubble or whatever again. I think to what I did. Except this time I think it's damians view of the events. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I...I...Damian...I didn't mean to-" I hear my voice sad and crook. He must be so upset. That was a total violation of his memories. I hear foot steps behind me. I glance back and see Alex she looks frightened."I didn't see you come in." I nod."You we're watching?" She looks away."I was already here with some of the she devils." I nod"oh." She sits down next to me."so what did you wanna talk about?" I look at my hands."well there's some things you should know about me."Did anyone else come with you?" She shakes her head."nah everyone else left." I nod."I only recently found out I can do stuff like this and who my real parents were before they died. And well I was praticing and I think I upset Damian." She nods."So what is this think you can do?" I smile."can I see your hand. Think of a happy memory please...I don't know how many more sad I can take." She nods and closes her eyes. I concentrate and then I realize this is the other perspective of when me and Alex went to the pizzeria including the stuff afterwards. I think her eyes are open I'm not sure yet though. So I open my eyes. Her eyes are wide staring at the water." That's so cool. But how did you upset Damian with it." I remember the hurt look on his face." I saw somethings I shouldn't have. And well he left...upset." She looks at me quizzical." Well what did you do?" I sigh and explain." I used the water and showed some memories that he wanted to forget. I didn't even notice he was upset till he was up about to walk away." He probably hates me right now...
