"My.... my mind..." she stammers uneasily. "W... will it hurt?"

*Kero nods*
I won't lie to you. It will be hard, and possibly painful. However, you have my word I will do everything in my power to try and prevent that pain.

Ari hangs her head and sighs. "What did I do wrong... why did this happen. I... I don't know what I did wrong."

*Kero pulls her into a hug*
You did what you thought was right and necessary. Don't be ashamed of such things. You made a mistake. Learn from it, fix the problem, and move on with life. I'll help you, as it is my responsibility as well.

Ai nods. "Sometimes you need to do first, then worry. But not usually, so it is best you think before doing... especially when it involves something you are unfamiliar with. Still, I cannot find fault with what you did, except that you were not yet ready to do such a thing. You tried to run before you could walk... not a very good approach to things I'm afraid. Because of this you have awakened areas of your brain you weren't ready to awaken yet. The ability was there, allowing you to call on it, but the tempering factor of knowledge was lacking. Knowing you can run does not mean you should attempt to do it on quicksand, right?"

I know...I know. But I can fix things.

Ari looks at him and then at Ai, before nodding once again. "I... will try to learn..."
"Actually, you will be learning for a long long time, kiddo." says Bez quietly. "Think of this as the first step on a long journey, one where the journey is far more important than the destination."

I can only start you on the path. You must walk it yourself.

Mara gives her a hug. "Wish I could walk it with you, but I have no idea what you did and Daddy says I don't have those skills."

Come to my cave after supper, then, or tomorrow morning. Whicever you prefer.

She nods hesitantly, then as Kero starts to turn away, asks him a question that makes Ai smile secretively.
"Kero, what happened to you, you seem so cold all of a sudden. You make words that say you care... but you've gone all still inside. Did I do something bad? Why all the formality?"

*Kero sighs, relaxing his will for a moment*
Remember what your mama and papa told you about my power? How it is extremely cold? I am gathering my magic around me, to assist me in this endeavor.

"But I'm mnot dangerous, am I? Why would you need so much power?" she demands to know.
Mara slips her hand into Ari's looking worried. "I'm not afraid of you..." she whispers to her sister.
