Inner Power Outer Power
The sun has just risen. Her eyes opened to the sun light shining through her window. Kay got up and got dressed, brushed her teeth, brushed her black hair, braided it, put her shoes on, and then quietly left her father’s hut. Kay walked to a medium sized shack, she walked in with the other children. They could see the beautiful sun rising over the trees out the window. "Good morning class, today we will learn about outer power and inner power." Said Jade, the school teacher of the village. Jade was a young, pregnant elf with black hair and green eyes.
"Kay! What is inner power and outer power?
"Inner power is the power you are born with inside you and outer power is the power you can get and people want. But inner power is more powerful than outer power!"
"Correct, Kay! Outer power is hard to get, but inner power is what you already have and you are born with!" Kay smiled as Jade was explaining it to the class. But then she remembered,
"Oh no! Sorry Jade! I have to go."
"Huh? How come? You just arrived."
"I want to do some stuff before I have to do all my chores."
"Kay. You know you have to have a note to leave unless school is over."
“I know Jade. But I want to get some stuff done before my chores.” Kay started checking her pockets for old notes from her father, but she could not find any.
“Sorry Kay, but you don’t have any notes. You will have to stay till school ends. Understand?”
“Yes Jade.” Kay said disappointed. She waited for school to end. Finally after three hours school ended.
“Good bye children, have a nice day.”
"You to Jade!" Kay ran off to a secret area hidden from the town. Kay stays there a long part of the day to get away from others. There is a pond, river, lots of grass, flowers, a mini waterfall, and an apple tree. Kay picked a blossom and put it in her hair. It was a beautiful pink and red blossom that just bloomed that season, spring. "Hello Kay."
"Huh? Jarith?"
"Yep."
"How did you find me?"
"I come here to relax in secret."
"Me to." Jarith walked over to her and sat by her, Jarith smiled. Jarith has snow white hair, white skin, and leaf green eyes, he is about a year older than Kay.
"How are you?"
"I am fine. That blossom looks lovely."
"Thanks." Kay said with a smile.
"Do you know what I realized?"
"What?"
"Everyday is the same to me. Everyday I do the same stuff, wake up, get ready for school, go to school earlier than any other kid, explore the woods, come here, and then do nothing."
“Aw man…”
"What?"
"It is time for me to go home and do chores! I have a very tight schedule, I am never in one place for very long."
"I could help you with your chores! I would have something to do and you would have more time for fun today!"
"Sure! Let's go!" So they ran back to Kay's house and put on some working gloves and clothing.
"How could I help, Kay?"
"Um…go feed and water the cattle."
"Right away, farmer Kay!" He grabbed an armful of hay and ran in the barn, he fed each animal, even the dog and chickens!
"You are done with the animals already?"
"Yep! What is next?"
"While I finish cleaning the house you clean up the yard!"
"Alright!" He picked up a ball, some doggy toys, he raked up some leaves and watered the plants. Kay picked up toys, doggy toys, she washed dishes, and she swept the floor, and cleaned her room.
"I am all done! Are you?"
"Yep I am!"
"Then we are done with chores! What now?"
"Hmm… Hey! Do you like riding horses?"
"I don't know. I have never ridden one."
"What about this black one?"
"Nope, I do not know how, and Lightning does not like to be ridden."
"Well I could teach you how to ride her!"
"If you say so." Jarith put a bridle and saddle on the horse.
"Here Kay, Lightning is ready!"
"So how do I start?"
"You get on for one thing. Here, you get on like this, you put your foot here and pull your self up."
"Okay, I am ready to try it." So she got up on the horse and waited for Jarith to show her the next step.
"Alright, next you use these ropes the steer the horse. Pull to the left if you want the horse to go right or pull right to make the horse go left, that simple!"
"You know, this would be easier if I had some sort of a power. Maybe some way to control the horse."
"You don't have a power?"
"I don't think so...do you?"
