WheeIn dragged YongSun to the training area. Byul, TaeOh, and HyeJin followed behind them the whole way there. WheeIn walked her into the centre of the area, facing her to a target painted on a pole nearby. “Hit that.” There was a bit of excitement laced in her voice but it was mostly curiously YongSun picked up from here.

YongSun knew she wasn’t going to be able to hit the target, all the magic she felt boiling up inside her had disappeared when she shot the pole outside Ernesto’s house. Lucky for her HyeJin used her ice magic to freeze it in its place while WheeIn went into Ernesto’s for water to put it out. YongSun was mostly lucky that no one but them had seen what happened, well almost lucky because if WheeIn wasn’t there then she wouldn’t be standing here right now. YongSun really did want to figure out her powers but she was scared she would never be able to control them.

YongSun stared down the target, she tried to conjure the heat she felt just moments ago but nothing come up. She tried lifting her hands, pointing them at the target, nothing. She squeezed her eyes closed in concentration, hoping she could ignite it. She threw her hands down. “I can’t”

WheeIn leveled her with a look. “I just saw you do it, try harder.” YongSun wasn't sure she wanted WheeIn as a teacher, she didn’t seem very patient. Still she tried again but even before she lifted her hands she knew nothing was going to come from them.

“Perhaps she drained her energy?” TaeOh was the furthest from them, leaning on the fence of the arena. 

Byul nodded, YongSun found it a bit hard to look at her, her mind had not yet sorted through all the information she received. “She has barely eaten in two days, and she literally just woke up, she is probably drained out.”

WheeIn contemplated it for a moment. “I don’t think so.” Dreaded filled YongSun, she was sure WheeIn was going to make her stand here until she make something happen.

HyeJin moved from her spot next to Byul and lightly rested her hand on the small of WheeIn’s back. “Love, perhaps I can try?” She raised one of her eyebrows. WheeIn looked like she didn’t want to pass YongSun over but after a moment she gave a short nod, HyeJin placed a small kiss on her cheek and took a step forward. She placed a steady hand on YongSun’s shoulder, bringing her a step further from the others, in a very low voice she asked. “What were you thinking about when it happened?” 

YongSun had to force her eyes to not look for Byul. “A lot of things.” She answered. “There were a lot of emotions and thoughts going through my head when I did it.” 

HyeJin thought about this. “Okay, well for most of us, our powers come from a specific emotion. Mine comes from loneliness, WheeIn’s power comes from her anger.” YongSun almost laughed at that, because it made sense. “Is there another time you felt the same type of...how would you describe the feeling?”

“Heat.” YongSun said without having to think of it. “It is like an unbearable heat, as if I had a thousand fevers at one time.” 

HyeJin nodded. “Okay, is there a time you can think of where you had the same feeling? It might not be as powerful as this time because your powers were just unlocked but you will have felt it before, even if you didn’t know it.” 

YongSun tried to think. “Making any progress?” WheeIn called impatiently, HyeJin just waved her off. She heard WheeIn huff but YongSun ignored her and tried to think. 

The first thought was her palms, the heat was the worst there, as if her hands had combust into flames. YongSun’s temperature had always ran higher than most people, it use to scare her nursemaid every time she felt YongSun’s forehead. But she couldn’t remember a specific reason as to why her hands or body ran warmer than normal. “I know I’ve always ran a higher temperature than most people, and my palms were the most hot when the power came out.”

HyeJin nodded again. “Well that is progress.” She spun around. “Okay my love, come here.” WheeIn skipped happily to HyeJin’s side. “You see YongSun, once we find out what triggers your powers, you can call upon it to make them work, and once you master that, you will be able to call upon them at anytime.” It was YongSun’s turn to nod. 

WheeIn crossed her arms. “If you didn’t figure it out then why am I here?” She sort of pouted at HyeJin.

A sly smile spread over HyeJin’s face. “To piss her off.”

YongSun would have thought that would be a very rude thing to say to a girlfriend but WheeIn just laughed very loud. “Well you have definitely come to the right girl.”

Before they began HyeJin turned to Byul and TaeOh. “I am not saying you should leave but we are going to do some… unconventional methods to try and bring YongSun’s powers forth. I can promise you that she is not going to be in any harm but if you will interfere I suggest you find something else to do.” It wasn’t rude, it was actually said very logically. 

TaeOh and Byul looked at each other, YongSun wondered if it was the first time since TaeOh walked out on Byul from her memory. TaeOh gave a slight nod, YongSun feared they both might leave, as much as she hated to admit it, she got used to looking next to her and seeing at least one of them being here. TaeOh stopped leaning on the pole. “I will be in the area.” He mumbled as he walked off. Byul walked over to where he was and jumped up on the fence, getting settled in her new seat. 

HyeJin watched Byul for a moment, like she was debating if she was going to cause them trouble, but she turned from her and looked back at her girlfriend. “Okay love, start her training.” WheeIn turned to YongSun and smiled at her in a very not friendly way. 


 

Byul’s was starting to fall asleep as she watched the three in the arena try to bring about YongSun’s powers. WheeIn had flung insults at her, called her names, they tried to make her angry, annoyed, scared, and sad, nothing make her powers come out. Byul had been thinking about it, she kind of wished they would just start flinging magic at her instead of words, she was afraid they were going to cut deeper into YongSun than any fireball could. Byul managed to keep her cool for the most part, trying not to jump to YongSun’s aid, that is why TaeOh left, he would not be able to hold back the way she could. 

Byul tried to distract herself by thinking about what YongSun had said about the heat. About her palms. There had been many times over the last month she had felt YongSun’s palms being hot, like more than they should be, she just had to try and remember when those times were and maybe she could help her figure out her powers faster. Or maybe this was something YongSun had to do herself, Byul had tried to help by letting her see into Byul’s memories, she wasn’t exactly sure what she had seen but it freaked her out. Perhaps it was a mistake to allow her to do it, maybe it will push YongSun away from her, she just wished she knew what YongSun had saw. 

A figure moved next to her, Byul only slightly glanced out of the corner or her eye, she didn’t move as Krystal jumped onto the fence next to her. “How is the training coming?” 

Byul shouldn’t have been surprised that WheeIn’s gang seemed to already know what was going on, Byul was sure they knew everything that went on in the village. “I am not sure.” She admitted, Krystal had come to visit a few times while YongSun was asleep, staying long enough to have tea with Byul. “They have been through enough emotions that I think it is progress, but the fact they haven’t found out which yet… I don’t know what that means.”

Krystal bumped Byul’s shoulder. “They have had years to master their powers.” She nodded to WheeIn and HyeJin. “YongSun has had what… fifteen minutes? She will need more time than that.” 

Byul gave a short smile, turning he
