I closed my eyes, calm stealing over me. It was familliar and yet strange, I had only felt this way once before, though it was like Deja vu, because I couldn't remember when or where or why. Shaking my thoughts away, I opened my eyes, their bright green depths glowing with intensity as I shot the boulder forward, snapping the tree in a clean break through middle. I blinked, the state of calm ending, lingering only in the recesses of my mind.
{Liz} My eyes widened in spite of myself. "Holy crap is right. I didn't realize you two were that good." I breathed, walking over to them and narrowing my eyes. "How'd you do it?"

{Amber} "I... I'm not really sure," I said, for once speaking slowly and deliberately. "It was like I... fazed out. Went into this mode. So eerily calm. Is that how you two feel all the time?"

{Tati} Liz looked over at me, and it struck me that this was the first time I could remember her not being enclosed in her own little world, trapped in her protective shell. "Same here." I murmured, narrowing my eyes quizzically. I felt different....not as scattered as usual, though still not nearly as collected as Liz or Cassie.
{Liz} I frowned slightly, this was strange, Taiana and Amber able to control their powers? Calm, or at least as close to it as they could get? I took a deep breath, then formed a mental barrier around the less controlled part of my mind, then focused on Amber's question. "Every moment of every day, at least in my case." I replied calmly, then continued a bit thoughtfully. "If you two could learn to control that state of mind and use it at will, your control issues would dissapear...." I trailed off, crossing my arms. "Let's try something smaller." I took in their expressions and moods, then added, "If you like."

I raised an eyebrow. "If we like? No, let's not ever use our powers. Let's go back to being constantly confined by rings. Of course we like. What are we doing?"

{Tati} I smirked as Liz narrowed her eyes. "In that case, try those two rocks." They were each about a foot in diameter and almost perfectly sphere shaped, making them about a quarter of the size of the tree. I made the trees disappear and moved the rocks into their spots. "Okay." I chirped, summoning my power. The calm came faster this time, but I still had to take a few extra moments to focus it on the rock. With a sharp crack, the rock exploded. I realized a bit too late that I should have attempted at keeping the shards of rock within a two foot radius. "Good." Liz spoke a bit shortly, probably because of the scratch on her cheek, which had been caused before she used her own power to keep the rocks away from all of us. "Amber?"

I frowned. "Can rocks burn? I don't even think rocks can burn..." I muttered, glancing helplessly at Cassie. "Not in normal fire," she said calmly, raising one eyebrow. I glanced at her, and then my eyes widened automatically. Of course, I didn't exactly control normal fire... I turned and focused on the rock, closing my eyes to help find my focus better. I felt the eerie calm envelope my mind. I held out my hand in the direction I found the rock to be, and thought firmly of fire. Once again, I didn't even have to throw it from my hand; the rock just burst into flame immediately. I concentrated on making the fire hotter and hotter, much more than even the average fire, until it became almost entirely blue. Slowly but surely, the rock melted into nothing. I opened my eyes as I snapped back into my usual frame of mind. "Ha!" I exclaimed triumphantly.
