Her Hidden Powers

Blue Door 1

I walked into the blue door to see snowy mountains there looked to be people standing everywhere but they had a strange feeling about them, they almost felt like they weren't there, it suddenly occurred to me that there was nobody there to greet me like the last two doors it was just me, what am I supposed to do in this one.

let's see these are supposed to be some kind of test to see what abilities I have and make sure I can handle them or something like that so maybe part of this test is to uh figure it out myself .... ugh I don't know.

voice; Head toward the mountain it's cold we should find some sort of shelter

Sky; No we should try and get home whats it been three days now

voice; look every other test took at least a day just accept it and let's find a warm place to regroup our thoughts and figure out what we're supposed to do 

Sky; fine whatever let's just go

I started walking towards the mountain and these little well not so little flying bugs started flying around me, I swatted at them trying to get them to get away from me and one of them bit me 

Sky; s**t it f*****g bit me 

flying bug; we'll then maybe you shouldn't be trying to swat at us like we're insignificant little bug's 

Sky; wait what did you just talk, oh my god bugs are talking to me now, now I know I've lost it

flying bug; Okay first of all I'm not a bug I'm a fairy and I don't like being called a bug 

Sky; a fairy wait like an actual fairy those aren't real they're just fairy tales 

fairy; yeah well according to mortals so are you 

the fairy flew off before I had a chance to respond, what does it mean according to mortals I'm just a fairy tale man this is weird, I continued walking I noticed that I was being watched through the trees well it was more of a feeling than my seeing them I felt them, they didn't feel particularly bad but they didn't feel particularly good either.

suddenly two children ran past me not looking at me nor acknowledging me in the slightest and something inside of me told me that these two children were here but not here mere ghosts of themselves'

voice; ah maybe were supposed to determine living from nonliving 

Sky; Nah that would be to easy every other test forced us to react in some way before allowing us to move on I'm almost positive that this will be no different, and Ma says that the spirit world can't touch the living world unless you're in an area that the veil is thin shes always said that I just thought she was spouting nonsense 

voice; yeah but were not exactly in the living world now are we, were on the astral plane

Sky; I've been meaning to ask exactly what is the astral plane anyway 

voice; The astral plane is a plane of existence, where the world of the celestial spheres, crossed by the soul in its astral body on the way to being born and after death and is generally populated by angels, demons,  spirits, god's or other immaterial beings, in short, it's a cross between the veil which ones spiritual body can connect with those who have passed, or for us in some cases it is a place of meeting, depending on where you are at on this plane determines exactly who or what you will encounter  

Sky; okay and how do you know all of this 

voice; as I said before I'm the part of you that holds all your abilities we as a people are reborn with our previous knowledge of everything we learned in our past lives, however until the age of 17 our bodies and minds can neither process nor contain such knowledge on your 17th birthday I began to awaken and all of my previous knowledge started flowing back

Sky then if that's the case shouldn't I have some semblance of my past knowledge 

voice; we have lived many lives and been through many trials had you simply woken up on your 17th birthday with memories that were not your own, things that had never happened, and abilities that you were unsure of would that not scare you to a point that you could lose control of your self and possibly end up hurting someone, on top of that with every life we hold our power grows and our abilities progress

Sky; well I guess that makes sense but that's exactly what I should have been told and not kept in the dark

voice; had you been told of the abilities that your week body could possess what would you have done 

Sky; umm try and use it duh 

voice; exactly and you would have forced me awake before it was time, possibly losing control and hurting many people, you would have been too young to forgo the trials and probably would be consumed so it is kept quiet until you have been pulled to the astral plane

I finally made it to the mountain and found a small cave to crawl into, I found a few sticks but they were not dry and the ground was damp and cold inside the cave were more people but they paid me no mind they all looked lonely and almost sad 

Sky; those are spirits aren't they 

voice; what makes you say that 

Sky; I just have a feeling

voice; well you are correct they have been long passed

Sky; why do they stay here

voice; they either aren't ready to move on or they are stuck.

Sky; how would they be stuck

voice; their grief keeps them here even if they no longer know why they grieve they are stuck in that grief
