Rika

Well, things were going great so far. I had gone at most a quarter of the way down the slope so far, and things were going just fine. There were more and more people that were joining us up here on the mountain, but that was fine. They were doing their thing and we were doing ours. This was a ski slope though, and that meant that we couldn’t just hang around at the top of it for too long. We needed to start heading down soon enough.

When I finally started my actual run down the mountain, with no plans to stop, everything was going perfectly fine. There were no problems at all. I was able to see everything that was on the mountain. And not only that, but I was seeing everything for about two hundred meters in each direction. I was able to see so much that it was next to impossible that I was going to end up crashing into something.

And I say next to impossible, because that was when an asshole, a man that just didn’t care at all zoomed in front of my board and intentionally turned so that I would hit him. I was about to hit him. I was about to crash right into his skis and tumble with him to the snow. I knew that he was wanting to say that I did something to him. He was seeking some sort of damages from me. I wish that there weren’t people like that in this world, but I guess that there was no escaping them, not even at a resort like this.

The only thing is though, I didn’t crash into him. Something pretty unique happened the moment that the man swerved himself in front of me, something that I wasn’t able to explain or even process right away. It was just so strange and unique that it threw me through a loop, literally. And it was several minutes before I was able to calm myself down enough to even start processing what it was that had happened. When I did though, it was unlike anything else that I had ever experienced before in my entire life, but I didn’t dislike it either.

Just mere seconds before I would have crashed into that asshole that cut me off, I felt myself leaving the ground. It was like there was a gust of wind and I weighed nothing at all. I was blowing back and away from the man until I was a safe enough distance away from him. Only that wasn’t where I stopped. And when I looked around, I saw that I was literally flying on the wind.

I went to look down, to see what was happening to my arms, my legs, my snowboard, and that was probably a mistake. Because when I looked at those things, there was nothing there. It was like I had gone completely invisible, yet I could still feel my body there. I could feel my limps, my extremities, I just couldn’t see them.

…..

“Alright.” I said to myself calmly. I almost started to scream. I almost lost my cool, but I didn’t. I managed to maintain my cool for a little while longer. “What the hell is going on here?” I asked myself as I tried to move toward Lyssa. She was the closest to me at the moment. Then I remembered that Ashle was supposed to be behind me. As I moved, or rather swirled, I turned to look at the place where I had thought that Ashle would be.

I saw her, she was there alright, but she had come to a sudden stop and was looking around the immediate area like something was wrong. And as I got closer to Lyssa, I saw the man that had slid in front of me. He was looking around angrily and yelling about where I went. He was pissed off that he hadn’t been able to scam me into paying for his medical bills and whatever else would have come from the accident.

“Fucking bitch just disappeared.” He grumbled as he started to ski away. I guess he was right. I really did disappear. And all my friends were stopping and wondering where I was.

“Rika?” Ashle called out and alerted Lyssa. She was the one that had been in the lead.

“Huh?” I heard her say right as I started to speak to her. I had somehow moved closer to her, but I didn’t feel like I was walking or running. It was almost like a swimming motion, but more than that as well.

“Lyssa?” I called out to her.

“What the hell? Rika? Where are you?” She was panicking and looking around. I had heard my own voice when she heard it, and it sounded like a sound that was lost in the wind, something that was blown away and barely there.

“I am right here, Lyssa.” I told her in as calm and steady of a voice as I possibly could. “I don’t know what happened. I..I think that I became the wind.”

“Th..the wind?” She asked as the others started toward us. “What does that mean?”

“Well, what does this feel like?” I asked her as I reached out with my invisible hand and touched her cheek.

“Holy shit, that was the wind, but it felt like a hand as well. Rika, d..did you really become the wind? How?”

“I don’t know.” I said, this time, the others were close enough to hear me talking.

“Wow, you even sound like wind now. That is like some haunting howling shit.” Ashle was excited as she spoke up. “Here, touch my hand.” She pulled off her glove and reached for me. “I want to feel it too.”

I did as Ashle asked. I reached out and touched her hand. However, she wasn’t content with just touching my hand. She tried to grab it, and although I could feel her touch, she just passed right through me.

“That felt weird.” I told her. “Don’t do that again.”

“Well, I think that it’s official, Rika. You are part of the wind right now.” Kaede said in amazement. “Do you think that your ability to see so much was part of the wind? Or is it just that you’re part of the air or atmosphere. The air touches pretty much everything, but not the wind. You were able to see inside the room, where there was no wind. So, maybe, you’re more air than wind. And when air moves it becomes wind.” She was trying to explain away what she was thinking.

“That is actually a good idea, Kaede.” Sophia nodded her head. “I think that this is really what is happening here. I mean, think about it, she is invisible, her words sound like they are lost in the wind, and her touch is like a breeze, that all indicates wind to me, but it’s as you say as well. The wind is the air, and the air is what she became. I am sure that, on a perfectly calm day with absolutely no wind, you would still be able to use your other sight and move like this. You are part of the air, Rika. That is amazing.”

“These powers that you got for your birthday, Rika, they are amazing.”

“M..my birthday?” I said the words in awe. “I had almost forgotten that. You are right. I woke up with these powers on my birthday. I am nineteen now, and my mom shifted on her nineteenth birthday. She already proved that magical things happen for our family on our nineteenth birthdays. I can’t believe this. It’s amazing.” I tried to move around again and the wind in the area picked up a little.

“Hey, don’t move so fast.” Isabella said with a laugh. “That was a big gust.”

“Sorry, I was excited and moved really fast.” I laughed at them and heard my laughter like a ghost in the wind. “This is pretty fun.”

I wondered for a moment if I was able to move them with the wind. Not like a tornado, not really, but would I be able to make an upward draft to pick them up? I sped toward the ground, turned, and then sped up again underneath Lyssa. I got her off the ground, but it was hard to keep her positioned right.

“Damn.” I said as I caught her before she crashed. “Sorry.”

“No, it’s OK. You’re exploring. We can work on this more later though. I hear more people coming.”

“Yeah, me too.” Alexa said as she turned to look up the slope. “Can you get back to your other form?”

“I will try. I don’t know how, though.”

I closed my eyes and started to think about the way that I normally was, how I looked and felt. I also thought about calm winds that barely blew or gusted. I thought of what I wanted to be doing when I rematerialized, where I needed to be standing. And when I opened my eyes, I saw that it had worked. The wind was gone, and I was back standing in my human form.

“Cool.” I smiled at them all.

“This was amazing.” The others agreed.

“Well, let’s head back down the mountain. Then I think we should try to think about all that has happened today.” Kaede looked at me seriously.

We did as Kaede had suggested. We made our way down the mountain and back toward the room. We ordered food and talked about things in the room for the rest of the day. We did go to the spa again, and to another restaurant for dinner, but we talked a lot during the day. And when we got home late the next afternoon, after some much needed retail therapy with my friends, I knew that I needed to talk to my mom about what had happened. I knew that she was going to want to know all the details about this new power of mine, and that was why I was glad that I had explored them a little bit. Not as much as becoming the wind thing, but my extra sight. And that was still there when I woke up today, it might have even been stronger today than it was the day before.

Still, I was wondering what my mom was going to say about it. What she was going to think about me gaining more powers on my birthday like that. It was pretty amazing in my opinion, and I was thinking that she would agree with me.

This weekend had been completely unexpected, however it had also been amazing. I knew that I also needed to thank my sister for making it happen. She truly was a good person, and I knew that I needed to appreciate her more.
