Sapphire sits down in the center of the grove and sighs. Goldenheart lays down near her. "Okay, Sapphire. I need you to close your eyes..."

Sapphire closes her eyes and inhales slowly. "Now, I want you to concentrate on clearing your mind. Rid it of all doubts and worries. Can you do that?"

Sapphire nods and steadies her breathing fully. She attempts to rid her mind of the doubts and worries that Goldenheart speaks of. Goldenheart's voice sounds again. "Now...when your mind is clear. Concentrate on control. The magic isn't what controls you, it is you that controls it. You must know this. Reinforce this into your mind."

Sapphire tries to do this, convincing herself that she is the one in control. Then, she nods. Goldenheart nods. "Alright, try casting a spell that has to relate to the magic that you are struggling with."

Sapphire's face twists with doubt, but her horn lights up grey...White, puffy clouds form over Goldenheart's head. A drop of water lands on her horn...then...the clouds begin to rain lightly on Goldenheart. She smiles. "Very good, Sapphire."

But it isn't over. The cloud begins to darken and the rain picks up. Wind whips through the pines. Ruffling the trio's manes. "Uh...Sapphire."

Sapphire continues to cast her spell, the cloud boils with thunder. Then, lightning strikes out of the cloud behind Goldenheart and she jumps out of the way. "SAPPHIRE!"

Sapphire's eyes snap open, the spell ends, and the cloud disappears. The wind peters out. Goldenheart shakes out her coat to rid herself of the water. "Well, I didn't expect that to work the first time..."
